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 reviewThe room is in the very heart of Lecce and it was clean enough. The personnel was nice and the overall check in experience was good.
Room was way smaller than what it looked like in the pictures and the soundproofing was unfortunately quite poor (we found ear plugs in the room, probably because the host is aware of this quite severe issue). We would’ve liked to find at least one complimentary bottle of water as in all the other accommodations in Puglia, given the hot season and the price paid for the room.
Dear Petra, thank you for your kind review. Our bed and breakfast is chosen by guests precisely for its excellent location in the heart of the Baroque area. During the weekends, which are peak tourist season, it's quite normal for there to be a bit of noise. All our rooms are soundproofed, and as if that weren't enough, we also provide earplugs. But I think it's worth it sometimes to be in the heart of the city, mingling with the locals wandering around the historic center. The room size is advertised on Booking.com and our website: 22 square meters. Sometimes the photos don't do it justice, but your room was the largest. Thank you for choosing us, and we wish you a wonderful summer.

Verified reviewThe room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The two lady housekeepers were beautiful. They made us feel very welcome and had our breakfast ready every morning. Well organised check in and amazing location, plus they upgraded our room!
They charged us 5€ to use the iron. We have not been charged anywhere else we stayed.

Verified reviewPhenomenal place! Lecche is very very beautiful city and this apartment is in the actual historic center. 4m high ceilings, grand feeling, every little detail is taken care of. That bathroom - the pictures do not show well its actual size and appearance. If you are in question- book that one - the king apartment and thank me later. It’s something special!
Every little thing was ‘perfetto’
Grazie

Verified reviewThe pictures do not do it justice. The room is spacious and very clean, the location is great! It feels luxurious and homey at the same time. Rosella and the property manager were very communicative and so kind. The breakfast is comfy/balanced and it’s so nice to show up and have the option of affordable wines for purchase and free water in the room. The room is the middle of everything and manages to be quiet at the same time. Hope to come back!
If you have challenges with steps/stairs/carrying bags you should be aware there are 2.5 sets. Not an issue for us but something to keep in mind. Feels like an absurd thing to mention, but the shower only has a rain shower (lovely) but wish it also had a handheld option.
Many Thanks I really appreciated your comment. I hope you will come to us again soon. Regards

Verified reviewReally central location with bars and restaurants on the doorstep, lovely breakfast.
Due to the central location it could be a little noisey, didn’t bother us too much.
Thanks for the review. Our guests are catched by the local culture because near our B&B there are local shops managed only by local people. We strongly support family businesses like ours. Best regards

Verified reviewNice location, in the old center. Very clean appartement, good confort. Very nice people at breakfast.
If like us, you have a room on the street, restaurant right below your windows, with, in our case, people speaking/laughing very moins until 2:00pm. Waster water pump system working regularly in the hotel, very noisy especially during night probably linked to people using toilets... And at around 6:00am city people clean the street in a vey noisy way... All this makes your night very short and not resting On top of that, your welcome is made by WhatsApp with codes for the doors, and no human contact... + very bad WiFi
Dear guest, thank you for your review. One of the strengths of our B&B is the portability of everything: restaurants, local shops and everything that makes our guest's stay comfortable. Our rooms are all soundproofed and if you open the windows it is very normal that you will hear a little noise: we always recommend closing doors and windows and turning on the air conditioning. The wi/fi works very well, following your review we checked. All plumbing systems are brand new and have been restored since 2019 and are subject to a further check every year. Many Thanks Have a lovely summer

Verified reviewFirst of all the host Gabriele it’s incredibly kind, attentive and welcoming. Also Rossella it’s so sweet and friendly. The check-in went really smooth as Gabriele provided all the necessary details. The room was super nice, big and clean. Loved the sheets were so fine, the bed and the pillows were incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was spotless and had anything that you need. I also had breakfast included, there were sufficient options to choose from, but I opted only for a croissant and a cappuccino and they were really good. The location is good, it’s close to restaurants, attractions (e.g. 3 min by foot to the Dome, 6-7 min by foot to the city gates, 5-10 min by foot to any cathedral/church/point of interest) and train station (8-9 min by foot). It could be noisy on a week-end night (I arrived Sunday) but if you want to stay central this would have happened anywhere, so for me this was not bothering.

Verified reviewAs central as it can get - just around the corner of cathedral in the middle of old town. The apartment and the room were newly and very well renovated (quality!). Room design was appreciated. AC worked well, WIFI was okay. The breakfast was partly served and partly self service and a lot for italian style. The had very good coffee and Donna Teresa was very kind and friendly!
As central as it can get in old town - meaning just next to bars and restaurant - so have your earplugs ready. It was self check in - which worked well and communication before check in worked very well. The mattress could have been a bit less soft. Be aware of 2 flights of stairs.
