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 StatesThe breakfast had a wonderful view and was served by a lovey friendly woman. The location was perfect for us on a quiet courtyard but very close to all the action. Tho fine with us, there are very steep stairs up to the room. People with mobility problems would have difficulty staying here.

AustraliaThe wifi wasn’t very good and there are a lot of narrow, steep stairs so if you can’t carry your bag up stairs, this B&B is not for you.
The B&B is located in the Center of the old town in walking distance to everything. Breakfast from the rooftop balcony with a view of the sea is superb. We had a junior suite which was spacious and well appointed with our own outdoor balcony. The B&B has a very authentic feel and the staff were friendly. I would recommend this B&B highly.

United KingdomI assume the lady on reception is the owner but the office is only open during the day. I arrived by bus from Naples at about 21.45, no taxis so walked and asked way to old town. Not easy to find property, I was sent details of self check in, i.e. key box. Without help from some Italians I may not have found it and I certainly wouldn't have been able to lift my case up the steep stone steps on my own. Very rigid breakfast times. First morning was woken by a knock on the door by the chambermaid 09.45 and started to go up to breakfast just before 10 to be told it would be finished. Very disappointed as I was so tired and needed something. Asked at reception who was not sympathetic but finally collected some yoghurt, milk and rusks from somewhere to eat in room which was better than nothing. The next two days I realised that hotel guests were always there after 10 so I felt annoyed to have taken advice the first morning.
The location superb as in a quiet alley in the old town and a minute's walk to a place overlooking sea. Very pretty alleyway with plants, a tiny shop and reception office for Santo Stefano. Good breakfast, fresh fruit, cereal, yoghurt, croissants, bread and cake served on the roof terrace where you can sit inside or outside. Very nice friendly lady who prepares breakfast Wonderful view of coastline. Comfortable sofas and chairs. No one puts up sun umbrellas owing to wind. Communication before arrival was good on whatsapp. I had single use of double room on first floor. Ideal for 1 person, a little small for two. Beautifully appointed bathroom, superb top quality cotton bedding and towels, spotlessly clean and excellent daily cleaning.

United KingdomAs our room was located below the breakfast room, the preparation noise early in the morning was slightly annoying. Would be nice to have body lotion provided Note for people with mobility issues the step stairs would be a problem.
Great locatiion in a very pretty courtyard in the beautiful old town. Good breakfast in the roof top restaurant over looking the ocean, cappuccinos were amazing! Our room ‘Verde’ was a good sized room with white washed walls, luxury bed linen, good sized bathroom.

AustraliaWe didn't have a problem but some people with mobility issues may find the steep steps up to some rooms and the breakfast terrace a little daunting.
The location was superb and in a quiet location. The delicious breakfast served on a terrace overlooking the Adriatic was prepared by a friendly helpful woman.

United StatesWe just had a wonderful 2 night stay and from the moment we arrived Marialucrezia made sure we were well taken care of including arranging our dinner reservations for both nights at great places. We stayed in the lovely “Verde” room, a very spacious Junior suite with queen bed. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was very nice and everything is spotless. The wifi works well. The hotel has a lovely rooftop terrace, where the morning breakfast is also served. The hotel is in the perfect location and in fact many tourists stop to photograph their beautiful and unusual entrance. We communicated with the hotel ahead of time and learned we could park our car for free in the big parking lot next to the train station. We pack pretty light so no problem walking 10 minutes or so to the hotel. And the next day we took the train to Monopoli for the day which was wonderful. Thanks to Marialucrezia we really enjoyed our dinners at La locanda porto picc and Casa Orecchiette. (Just a little side note and not a complaint but something to be aware of, if you have any mobility issues this is probably not the place for you. We are fit 66 year olds and we maneuvered the steep stairs to our room and on up to the terrace. As long as we stay fit for sure we would definitely stay here again!!). Thank you so much!

Czech RepublicThere are many stairs - especially if you go to breakfast but I didn't mind, it was nice excercise. Our room was in the first floor and was bit dark but comfy.
Santo Stefano Home is located in the tiny streets of Polignano de Mare - the location is superb. Right around corner is terrace with beautiful view and square with many restaurants. Staff was really lovely and I liked the breakfast with the view up in the top floor.

AustraliaThe accommodation is in an ideal spot, right in the old town. We were picked up from the car park with our luggage and that was good and easy. Our room on the 1st floor was extremely small and due to outside lights and lack of privacy you could not have the door open and it was very stuffy When booking ask for a room on a higher floor with a terrace.
