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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomBreakfast was extra and €20 each which was a bit pricey and as you are remote with no cooking / food preparation facilities of your own, you had to go out for breakfast or buying in some basic morning provisions, which we did.
We had a lovely time and got on well with the host Marc-Antonio. He made us dinner one night which was wonderful. A very peaceful and beautiful setting. A great location to explore the nearby area.

AustraliaThe highlight of our trip to Italy. Stayed 3 nights in a traditional trullo which was amazing. Used our car to visit the sites each morning then sat by the pool and relaxed in the afternoon. Marcantonio was a wonderful host and a fantastic cook. Make sure to stay in at least one night for dinner to enjoy his company and culinary delights. Highly recommended

RomaniaIt can be tricky to find the property the first time (the main road was closed when we got there, so we had to find an alternative) but on the other hand, that's the beauty of it - being quite isolated.
Me and my husband stayed here for 3 nights. I believe it was outside the regular sezon as the price was great for us. The property is beautiful, it was a quiet and relaxing place to spend some quality time. The beds are soo comfortable, we slept a lot. And in the morning, you can have a coffee in the design space outside your room. Parking is safe and big for how many rooms there are. Marcoantonio is an amazing host and makes you feel like staying over a friends house. We booked a dinner prepared by him, the food was amazing - very tasty and the atmosphere - even better. We spend like 4 hours chatting, getting to know more about the area, about the property and about him. 100% recommend to book a dinner - it's an experience worth living.

This stay will have a special place in our hearts. Not only the accommodation is unique, also the host Marcantonio is wonderful. Very relax, but also very passionate about the beauty of Puglia. He is a very good chef and with the local ingredients he made a very nice private dinner. The Trulli’s are charming and the ambiance between the olive trees makes it a perfect spot to recharge and enjoy the beauty of Italy. We have a new friendship and a place in Italy we can call home! Thanks for everything Marc Antonio! Till we meet again

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay at Apollo House, Marco Antonio made us feel immediately comfortable on arrival, and for the duration of our stay, his hospitality made our trip extra special. He had lots of local knowledge and recommendations. The location is beautiful, high up in the olive groves with a stunning view looking right out to sea from the lovely swimming pool and eating/lounge area. The trullo we stayed in was very cute, comfortable and had everything you needed. We chose to have breakfast most mornings and dinner one evening, all prepared by Marco Antonio, and it was all delicious! Fresh produce, some directly from the location such as almonds from the trees! Would totally recommend having these if you’re staying here, great food in a beautiful setting (we felt no pressure from Marco Antonio to do so, it’s there as an extra option if you fancy it). You need a car to get here, it’s well sign posted and easy to find, only a 20 min drive into Monopoli, and you’re in a perfect position to explore multiple nearby towns from Apollo. Look forward to coming back again :)

IrelandWe really enjoyed our time at Apollo House. The property itself is beautiful with stunning views and an infinity pool surrounded by olive trees. We got to stay in a traditional Trullo, which was fantastic. It’s also a short drive away from Monopoli which was convenient. The host, Marcoantonio, was extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is available on request and was delicious, all the ingredients used were local. Dinner is also available on request. We will definitely be back.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the view is unbelievable and being able to be in one of the trulli without actually having to stay in Alberobello is to be honest a great advantage. The breakfast was also lovely and the property has a lot of diverse areas to chill in

United StatesIt was a little hard to find on the GPS with a long, very narrow, road to the property. And the uneven stones from the parking lot to the house were a little hard to navigate. However, our hosts went out of their way  to help even carrying our bags.
The setting in an olive grove was incredibly beautiful. The grounds with trulli housing were fun, the garden was really pretty, and the hosts warm and friendly, and welcoming. The first night, the air conditioning wasn’t working, but it was fixed first thing the next morning.
