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 reviewWe had a lovely time spending at the apartment. The owner, is extremely supportive and he recommended some nice places, which we probably wouldn't have seen. Also the mozzarella experience was worth visiting! If you are looking for a cozy place, in an amazing village in Puglia, uncomplicated host, you have to book at this place!

Verified reviewAmazing stay! Room was very clean, had everything you needed, enough space & a good eye for detail! Very smooth self check-in process, and Angelo was lovely in ensuring I feel comfortable during my stay! They immediately offered an early-check in, since the room was already available. Parking is easy & safe too. Loved the balcony with a stunning sky during sunsets, Balcony gave my stay a nice italian flair & charme! Will be back when staying in Polignano for sure!
Absolutely nothing to complain about — the property was exceptional! Just a small heads-up: you can’t reach it directly by car since it’s located in the charming old town. Be prepared to carry your luggage a short distance and up some stairs, so packing light is definitely a good idea. 😉

Verified reviewOur stay at Al 22 Suite was excellent and Angelo was such a great host. The jacuzzi had just been cleaned and water replaced when we checked in and we noticed the upstairs jacuzzi also being cleaned several times during our stay, so cleanliness was to a high standard within the flat as well as the building! We stayed there for a week, and cleaning took place every other day. The location was exceptional, right in the centre, yet so peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend, grazie mille!
Everything was excellent - I think the flat could benefit from having a safety box for valuables :)
❤️ Thanks ❤️

Verified reviewAwesome location, tucked away in a quite alley just a minute from the main plaza. The room was very spacious and the sauna and jacuzzi worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this property for couples who like to stroll around and then have a place to relax when back.
There was a bit of a smell in the bath room, specially when turning on the extractor.

Verified reviewVery conveniently located in the town yet quietly tucked away. Large, clean.
Misleadingly advertised as ‘Pool with a view is the stand out feature of this family room’ as the pool terrace is actually a shared space, and the pool referenced is a spa bath. Too overpriced given this detail. Also delay with check in as wasn’t told check in would be contactless, and wasn’t given the access code in advance.
Thank you for your review but it is not true as we highlight the pool and on the terrace and in common with the other suite ... then when it comes to the check-in is scheduled for 3 pm and the room was delivered at 1:44 pm and there are messages on whatsapp that testify to everything

Some minor issues with fit and finish in the bathrooms. Nothing major it just wasn't as beautifully finished as the rest of the apartment.

Everything - we were told to park 20mins walk away and had to make our way in the middle of the boiling hot day through the town with no phone signal. No offer to help arrange transport or even to help us located the place. When we gave up using the phone maps through the winding streets I called the hotel manager who just said “what’s app” (he didn’t speak a word of English and later I had to communicate with him via what’s app so he could translate on his phone) and hung the phone up on me! We also asked for an early check in but were told 3pm was the earliest and we could leave our bags in the “reception”. The reception was just a table and chair in the entrance box room with no air-condition and nobody even there to look after them. So after we finally found the place we had to wait in the heat for another hour until 3pm because apparently it was impossible to check in earlier. When the manager finally turned up he asked the cleaner if the room was ready and she said no and that she needed another hour to clean the room because the other cleaner was “ill”. I don’t understand why they need 5 hours from checkout at 10am when they only have 3/4 rooms - simply ridiculous. The cleaner then went to call her friend and was insulting my wife (who understands Italian) in Italian! We were in Polignano to celebrate our anniversary and the rudeness and unprofessional nature of the staff meant we no longer wanted to stay there with that toxic atmosphere. The one good thing about all of this was that the hotel gave us a full refund and we ended up staying somewhere far better with polite professional staff that made our stay in Polignano a joy. We would have had a terrible time had we stayed at 22 Suites.
Reluctantly we got this review not truthful we always do our job at our best. We assisted the gentleman from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. via messages on WhatsApp. We gave directions to the parking lot, provided the access codes and indicated the numbers where to park. They preferred not to park so as not to pay for parking and then they clearly lost time to find the structure. They had asked for an advance check but it was not possible as the room was occupied we brought a slight delay and to compensate for this we offered the gentlemen a room of equal value ready-made. But loudly rejected by the gentleman's wife. The lady kept shouting and insulting us all the time we decided to refund totally without penalties. We have respect for our guests but we also want to be respected.

Verified reviewLoved the room and location. Centre of old town and we had 2 bathrooms! The host was very responsive. The roof top seating and outdoor bath were also nice.
There’s 2 flights of steep narrow stairs that make it difficult to get large luggage (anything that would go in hold). We carefully cartied one bag at a time between us. That’s very off putting in the heat when you’ve walked 15 minutes from the station. I was given the wifi name and password but none of my tech could locate the name of the wifi given!!! So no wifi!
