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 reviewOne of the best hotels we've stayed in! Such a lovely atmosphere, wonderful location on a small street right in the old center of Polignano and overlooking the sea. The best breakfast we had so far! Very fresh italian products (different cheeses and meat cuts), very tasty fruits and bakery products. The staff was lovely and at the end of our staying we'd wish we stayed much more. We will come back!

Verified reviewThis was a lovely property in a great location with a delightful breakfast included from the rooftop which had lovely ocean views. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
The size of the room was way smaller than we expected and the noise from the room above was very intrusive during the night. The bathroom was particularly small and we had to go sideways to get into the shower past the toilet

Verified reviewThe location was awesome! The decor was super cute and we loved the breakfast on the roof terrace. Susanna was super helpful!
We were well aware that there would be steep stairs because of the other reviews, so we were prepared and were fine with them.

Verified reviewVery good location in the old city center, very good breakfast, helpful staff. It is smaller which is normal for Polignano. Parking is best and free of charge by the railway station. You have a few other options but you pay quite a lot, no security and same walking distance. Many stores and restaurants around.
It was great, just the stairs to rooms are steep so not suitable for old people.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect and the breakfast was delicious. We also loved the balcony overlooking the water for relaxing in the afternoon. The staff were amazing! They helped us with restaurant suggestions and reservations as well as with booking a taxi to another town.
It wasn't a problem for us, but important to know that the stairs you need to go up and down are extremely narrow and steep. Carrying luggage was a challenge and getting up and down could be difficult for less able-bodied people
