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 reviewFantastic location in the old town, clean upon check in, responsive host, view to water
Extremely small room and bathroom (I am 5ft 2 and hit my head on the top of the door between room and bathroom. No real amenities although I did ask the host for 2 bowls, mugs and spoons which were delivered within a couple of hours. Only 1 chair on the deck, would be nice to have 2 chairs so could enjoy deck as a couple, although I do understand it is very small and would be tight. Perhaps little stools would be better. Coffee machine leaking water Shelf installed during stay and residue from drilling left on floor

Verified reviewComfortable, clean room in a great location. Nice view of the sea from the balcony. The company was available to support us via Whatsapp with any questions. Luggage Storage was nice after checkout and we were also able to do a late checkout for a small fee which was great.
Other people in the building were quite noisy at night and in the mornings. The company should consider putting a shutter on the bathroom window as it's a bit uncomfortable to take a shower opposite another building's balcony with a window at hip-height. Also the bathroom door doesn't slide fully closed. The company was very helpful but as a slight criticism I got a feeling that all their recommendations were just upselling their own services.
Thank you for your kind words and helpful feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the room, the view, and our support during your stay. We’re sorry for the noise and the bathroom issues, your suggestions are appreciated. We always try to be helpful with our advice, but we understand your impression. Thanks again for choosing us!

Verified reviewThis place is amazing. Great location, perfectly and lovely furnished, nicely equipped kitchen (remember to check the drawer under the table otherwise you will be looking for a shop that sells wine and opens it for you - been there done that 😅). Perfect for one person, will be great also for 2. Located close to everything you need and even more - next to the apartment there is a small boat dock where you can buy fresh "frutti di mare" in the afternoon. Contact with the owner professional and warm.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm really glad you enjoyed the apartment and the location and thanks for the tip about the wine opener drawer! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. Federica Customer Service Monholiday

Verified reviewWe booked the whole appartment and ended up receiving only the room. Its not very clear on booking but the place was still clean and beautiful
I banged my head because the bathroom door was very short. I did a little concussion and had to rest most of my time there. Not the best and safest place to book honestly. I wouldnt recommend

Verified reviewThis is a clean, stylish, cozy flat with exceptional location, right next to the old town. You can reach everything on foot, shops, restaurants, Monopoli's famous sights and the best beach in my opinion(Porto Rosso) and there's even a supermarket realtively near! It has amazing views of the balcony and cooking amenities if you'd like to make your own food, a great coffee machine and an AC, Wifi and Netflix which was a plus! Everything was really clean, the bed was comfortable and the host was really kind and helpful. I'd truly advise anyone to book this accomodation, because I had an impeccable stay here!

Verified reviewClean, comfy bed, balcony and view, location, coffee mashine
Check-in and Check-out wasn't accurate, after 3:15 pm waited 40 mins the door opened/access and at 10 am was kicked out 1 h earlier though it's written check-out till 11 am so at 10 am arrived message to go out, I came from my breakfast at 10:15 and there was a cleaning lady to get me out so no even 5 mins WC 🤣 2h later message arrived with apologies and offer to keep my stuff if I needed it but I was already driving away and of course was not interested. Be aware this is an old house with high stairs to climb to 2 floors, no lift. Difficult for tall people as the shower has a low ceiling.

Verified reviewA splendid stay in Fanali! The room was crystal clear and perfectly furnished and equipped. What a lovely surprise to discover a small balcony with a sea view. I also appreciated the complimentary coffee capsules and espresso machine, as well as the two small cartons of fruit juice. The location is superb. I highly recommend this establishment.
Nothing negative but two suggestions: - having arrived on a Sunday, I couldn't find a shop open to buy shampoo. An emergency pod in the bathroom would have been a real plus! - the underside of the wooden door to the room is a bit swollen and makes it a bit awkward to open.
Thank you for your review and your valuable advice

Verified reviewI stayed in Fanali room. Love the style of the room a lot, the balcony with view of the port was icing on the cake. Being by the port also brings in some breeze in the room which I love. I wish I can make my own room like that. As others have mentioned, it's a bit tight in some area, but I'm a small person, so it didn't bother me much. Great location, 10 mins walk from train station, don't even need to take a turn. It is at the edge of the town. Couple amazing restaurants close by like Metae, amazing food.
The two flights of stairs with big steps were some great exercise, a little struggle but once you get to the room it's worth it.
thanks for your review, team fari e fanali

The room and facilities were a bit small for our 4 night stay. The bathroom was tiny and a window placed in an unfortunately comprising position - which made it uncomfortable
