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...).

Patria Palace is a beautiful hotel in an excellent location. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and the balcony was a delight. The transfers to the beach club were terrific,

Italy✨ The Staff: Absolutely stellar—always attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. Every detail feels taken care of. 🚗 Valet Service: Smooth, hassle-free, and right at the entrance. Drop the keys, and you’re set. 🍸 The Terrace: With its front-row view of the Duomo, it’s the dream spot for a cocktail or indulging in the local cuisine. Pure magic. 🛋️ The Room: Got a complimentary upgrade—beautifully styled and impressively spacious. Couldn’t have asked for better. 🎶 Breakfast Vibes: Fresh, delicious, and serenaded by live harp music. When Ennio Morricone’s The Mission drifts through the air, you know you’re not at just any hotel breakfast.

United KingdomTHE TOILET PAPER! For a 5 star hotel it could be much better, but it's easy to forgive when everything else is so lovely. Worth noting that everywhere in Lecce the toilet paper was bad, so think it may be more a case of environmentally friendly/sewer friendly/easily biodegradable toilet roll over high quality in this region of Italy.
Patria Palace was genuinely one of my favourite hotels i've ever stayed in. The staff were fantastic, friendly, helpful and welcoming at all times. The room was lovely and we paid for a terrace room and ended up out there a lot! It was very cosy and had a great view of the Basilica de Santa Cross, which the rooftop bar just down the corridor also had. There was a free shuttle bus to their sister beach club which was a nice touch and a great change of scenery (even if the food we had there wasn't the best meal we had) - we were given complimentary beds and towels again which was just a nice touch and the actual beach club itself was lovely with a sandy beach. On the subject of food, the breakfast was fantastic with a great selection. We didn't have lunch or dinner in the hotel but i'm sure these both would have been great if the breakfast was anything to go by. The location of the hotel is also amazing as it's right slap bang in the centre of the city, there was so many lovely restaurants and bars not even a 5 minute walk away from the hotel, and the city was buzzing at night. Also, Solomun and Black Coffee stayed there while we were there, if you are into music.

AustraliaThe rooms and the lobby/ restaurants are great but the rest of the hotel is a little run down and dim. Also the fact you have to carry around a key on a big tassel rather than a key card is a bit annoying. Other than that, faultless.
Fantastic place to stay! The rooms are clean and well maintained. The location is great to explore Lecce. The breakfast is among the best we have had at a hotel and we have stayed at some pretty luxurious places around the world. Most importantly though the service provided by all the staff was so top tier. Everyone was so authentically helpful and not just polite and helpful because it’s their job. Hard to explain but the service definitely felt different to usual expectations.

United KingdomThe staff were so friendly, very approachable and professional. The hotel was opposite the Basilica and central to all restaurants and many streets for lovely afternoon /evening strolls. The hotel also offered beautiful food, a roof top terrace and a shuttle bus to go to the beach and enjoy facilities of the beach club and the Adriatic sea. Lecce is a beautiful city to explore.

GermanyThe air conditioning in the rooms is a bit noisy and the rooms could use a coffee machine.
The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. In difference to other 5 start hotels, it felt cozy/familiar. The breakfast and roof top are also noteworthy! What amazed us was a free shuttle to and from, and an umbrella at the mora mora lido (usual rate 50€ per day)

The best property in Lecce that is centrally located in the old town. The rooms are large, clean and well decorated. The team on site daily is warm, welcoming and very helpful. I would rate the team service level 10/10. Breakfast was also really good. Chef makes the best omelette and pancakes!
