How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewVery comfortable bed. Good air-conditioning system where you can control it. Television works well. Spacious room I was upgraded to a suite. Thank you.
The toilet flush worked once, you had to wait a while until it had enough water to flush again. Perhaps needs a service.

Verified reviewIt was clean and safe. Breakfast was ok.
It all felt very tired. There was no restaurant or bar. The wi-fi wasn’t working. The staff were pleasant but seemed bored as there were so few people around.

Verified reviewThe room I stayed in was spacious and incredibly comfortable, offering excellent value for money. The breakfast provided was decent, providing a good start to the day. A special mention goes to the gentleman at the reception, who was exceptionally polite and helpful. Despite booking the room at the last minute, he graciously offered us an upgrade, which was a delightful surprise. Overall, this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taranto.

Verified reviewVery characterful hotel in a very run down but interesting area. Very attractive public areas and rooms and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean.
The wi-fi is not fit for purpose. We couldn't connect in our room at all and when I asked I was told to connect to the next door room's wi-fi. It was then so slow it was unusable. Very disappointing breakfast - prepackaged cakes and biscuits. No oats or eggs and really poor, cheap bread. On returning from breakfast we found a load of ants in our bed. They were on the floor too.

Verified reviewComfortable room with good bed, a sofà and coffee machine. Pretty good staff. Good ordinary breakfast.
It’s an old building in the historical center. Nothing happened to me, but the narrow old streets don’t give good sensation in the night, don’t feel good walking there.

Verified reviewGreat location and great breakfast.
Too expensive compared to what it is. On the first day they could not find the second key of the room, the internet was not working is our room and when we left the credit card terminal didn’t work. We had to do a wire transfer. Otherwise the hotel is very very central, confortable and breakfast is good.

Verified reviewThe Hotel had a very refined ambience. I believe it stands on an ancient site that was once used for the storage of grain during times of Siege. There were Museum quality artifacts everywhere and I don't think they were reproductions. My room was spacious and comfortable. I had two balconies one for each window. Very handy for my tendency to do some sink laundry and hang it out to dry. Good mini fridge with two bottles of water per day. Breakfast was pretty good and the cappuccini were delicious. It was very close to almost everything I wanted to see in the Centro Storico and elsewhere. They gave me a good restaurant recommendation. The front desk clerk when I checked in was especially impressive but the entire staff was good to great. Very good elevator. I didn't get to try the bar but it looked well appointed. The little lounge area in the foyer of the entrance was comfortable and well decorated.
On my second day I went to breakfast fairly late and a lot of the supplies and food had run out. There were no knives. No whole wheat toast. But give them credit when I asked for these things they were given to me.
