Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

LithuaniaThe only drawback was breakfast in the other building.
The apartment is in a perfect location, close to everything in the heart of the old town. The room was spacious and clean. The host Letitia was very helpful though the owners must think about hiring more people to help the staff who we saw working really hard both cleaning the rooms and catering breakfast.

United KingdomParking was a bit stressful, especially on a Sunday night so might be worth paying for a parking spot in one of the car parks rather than driving round trying on find on street parking.
We had a lovely stay at Casa Balmes - it was perfectly located to explore Lecce and the surrounding beaches for 3 days! Super easy check in & check out and amazing breakfast with fabulous views at the sister hotel every morning.

FranceThe apartment was not cosy at all - uncomfortable beds (the single ones like in soldiers campaign), and not very clean, especially the towels. 7 minutes walk from breakfast on a roof : it was standard and ok, but the terrase had zero view and if I knew I would prefer to skip it and go to some nice place with good italian coffee near the apart
The location is very central in Jewish getto, good to walk through the city. The apart is inside a little palazzo, nice and interesting to get in and see traces of old reliefs and stones.

NetherlandsWe were upgraded (for free via booking) to a room with a patio, but I would not say it was a patio. If I had paid for the upgraded room with patio, I would have been disappointed. The door to outside led out to the top of some stairs (accessible also by other guests), which had water dripping down from the resident above (which overtime had created a damp green moss to grow). The airconditioning was so loud it woke us up when it switched itself off and on. When the bedroom lights were on, they flickered when the airco switched itself on (it regulated itself by turning off and on). Small details which didn’t affect our stay but were present in the room: light stains on the extra bed/ sofa, marks on the wall and brown damp marks on part of the wall where water has come through from somewhere.
Location was perfect. Parking was very easy on via adua. Room was simple/ basic but very clean. Really appreciated the bottled water in the mini fridge and the shower gel etc in the bathroom. Staff were lovely and the cleaning was done well. The public area (downstairs and corridor to our room) was very nicely decorated and very clean.

United Statesa desk and chair in the room would've been nice for writing postcards. otherwise, with historical vaulted stone ceilings, the room ( a two-room suite) was lovely and included ultra-modern design fittings in the bathroom, with stark white walls throughout.
they gave me a triple for a single person. because there were no other guests on my ground floor, i had the sole use of the private patio which was a big bonus. the Old Town location was charming and near the tour bus pick-up area. nearby old bookshops and superb sidewalk cafe/restaurants were also very good. although there were no staff on site except for clearners and breakfast girls, the first day the management staff of two showed up to confirm and helped me find a place to buy a mobile phone. all this with my very limited italian made my stay memorable and comfortable. i loved the quiet!
