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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe only downside for me is that the reception area is separate from the apartments you stay in. The staff is lovely and it would be more comfortable having staffing nearby, especially as other residents and travelers are staying in the same building. Simply for security and safety reasons. They offered a shuttle to the train station for my pick-up, but my train departure was too early and they could not drive me the morning I departed. The trek from the apartment in the old city to the train station with luggage was not ideal, but I managed and still made it for the train on time.
Everything about this hotel was perfect. The reception building is adorable, and my apartment was just a short walk away. I liked the convenience of the old city near the ports and beaches. Walked to Spiaggia di Cala Porto Rosso for a beach day and was a lovely spot to swim not too far away. Tons to do right around the hotel room too, closer beaches as well. Room itself was stunning, clean, and huge. It felt luxe, light, and airy. Without a doubt, one of the most comfortable beds I've had in a hotel! Would definitely stay with Albergo Diffuso Monopoli again!!!!!

New ZealandNothing, although it would’ve been nice to have a couple of plates and cutlery for the appertivos and snacks you’ll want to have on the balcony.
Everything!! What a fabulous suite in the heart of Monopoli overlooking Garibaldi Piazza with a superb balcony for people watching. It’s also very close to the Porto Antico gate which opens onto a harbour and a vista of classic Puglian fishing boats that still work at sea.

United StatesIt was confusing with getting there and parking. Cars aren't allowed into the area where the rooms are. You have to coordinate with the hotel for transportation. One of our rooms had a loud church bell every morning, but you get used to the old charm of Italy ;)
Very clean nice rooms. Shower was nie. AC worked well. Location is great- right in the mix of everything.

ItalyThe only thing is that reception is not 24 hours, so you might need to wait before check-in. For us it was no problem, we just went for a walk and waited at the little table they have outside reception.
We loved the room, it was very cozy and the staff was really friendly. The location was in the old town which was lovely and everything is within walking distance.

AustraliaThe stairs were very steep to the upstairs apartment. They have various locations for the properties which we didn’t realise until we booked. We had booked 3 rooms and 1 room was in a different location to the others.

SloveniaBreakfast was not very diverse, it was traditional.
The location was great, in the heart of old town. The city has a big free parkig 15 min walking distance to the apartament, and it felt very safe and organized, we gladly left our car there. The first day when we arrived we were given a complimentary breakfast and could check in before 16:00. One day our apartment lost power after the reception was closed and they came by in 15 minutes and fixed it. Our apartment was completely renovated and very beautiful.
