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 best location for Umbra Forrest (10min walk or 3min drive), easy parking on site, quality staff, amazing food (contrary to some of the reviews below), enjoyable aperitivo, great value (room, aperitivo, restaurant, included breakfast), historic building with high standard of renovation, the breakfast was exceptional. Good opportunity to meet other guests. A very enjoyable stay.
Later than usual check in time (4pm), rooms have quite thin walls (understandable given the special history of this building) but we didn’t have any issues with our neighbours.

Verified reviewBreakfast, room size, friendly staff (especially staff in the restaurant) and surrounding of the hotel! Nice place for a family to walk around the surrounding of the hotel. We saw a small fox while walking in the nature and this is the best moment during our holidays in Italy for my son. Highly recommend to this hotel.
Nothing at all!

Verified reviewIt’s just amazing that you can stay in the heart of the forest and start your trails straight from the hotel ! Bed was very comfy and breakfast had both sweet and savoury options !
Slightly noisier than expected… But it was a long weekend so a lot of kids around

We waited a long time for our breakfast to be served and the bar area is very small.

Verified reviewThe hotel is in the middle of the Umbra forest, the air quality is very pure. The room was very clean, we had dinner at the restaurant downstairs and the food was delicious. The stuff was really nice as well
For the price that clients pay for the stay in this amazing hotel, we would have liked a bottle of water included in the price of the room. We had to pay extra for the bottles of water.

Verified reviewIt's such a nice new hotel in the middle of gargano. Clean and comfortable rooms with big bathroom. Beautiful views, very good breakfast and very nice restaurant (the pasta was absolutely amazing)
Only 1 pillow per person in the room and I always look for extra pillows, can't sleep with just 1.

Verified reviewAmazing location. Make sure to visit the deers and the lakes. We rented bikes (also for the kids) it was amazing.
The dinner was expensive and the portions were very small. Since afaik its the only restaurant in the area, its a problem. I don't need gold on my food (there is pasta with gold on it) but I do need to be full after paying 90 euros. We filled up on bread as the lamb and pork were super small. The best dish was the pasta from the kids menu. Breakfast was also a joke, no fruit no vegetables just suger (cakes, jam, yogurt). After we complained they brought out 1 typenof sliced cheese. 5 minutes before closing time they brought ham. Very disappointing. TLDR good hotel bad food.

Verified reviewThe facilities were very good, and the staff were pleasant and attentive, although we found basic communication difficult due to a language barrier.
It is very remote, which is good and bad! Basically we were restricted to using the hotel restaurant every night, and even though the food we ate was excellent, we found the menu to be monotonous.

Verified reviewThe room was excellent and the staff very friendly. The location in the forest was good.
The food in the restaurant was good but a little expensive, but there were no convenient alternatives. However, the breakfast was not to the same standard.
