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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

LithuaniaBlackboard house is a appartment with two separate bedrooms which are very spacious, perfect for two people, also each of them has a balcony. Appartment has a shared toilet and kitchen. Owner Gianluca is the best host and always cares to keep appartment clean and fridge full of fruits, sandwiches, water and milk, cereals and cookies for breakfast are also provided. Also Gianluca will help you with recomendations what to see and where to go. Hotel is not so far away from central station so it's quite convenient to travel around local sightseeing places. Only best words for owner Gianluca and Blackboard house :).

The location was perfect for me as it is a short walk to the university. It is also walkable to the city-center (25 minutes). The bed is really comfy. The apartment is well furnished. The room is spacious. The host was welcoming. The presence of air conditioning, but I did not need to use it.

United KingdomSo glad I came across the Blackboard and host Gianluca. Even before I arrived the communication with Gianluca was excellent and he went over and above to ensure my trip went well. The property is in a great area just 15min walk from the train station. Property is spotless clean and the breakfast and fresh fruit etc left are second to none. Highly recommended

GermanyI enjoyed my stay at blackboard house. The owner is very nice and helpful. The fridge was stocked with a lot of fruit, water and milk products for my consumption. If you would prefer vegan options make sure to tell the owner beforehand and something will be arranged. There was a good coffee machine with coffee pods as well. Everything was clean and well kept. An air conditioning machine was in the process of beeing installed - while I could not use it yet, the next guest will be able to.

Great apartment/ homestay feel. Very big room. Very clean and comfortable with everything you need. Shared bathroom is only shared with one other room so not an issue at all. Host Gianluca is wonderful, warm and welcoming. He made me an itinerary for my stay and gave me loads of travel advice. Great base for exploring Bari and surrounding area. Location is a bit out of town centre but this is fine if you don't mind a walk or bus stop on main road is 3mins and taxis via ITtaxi app are readily available. Train station is 15mins walk.

He was very helpful and friendly, making you feel welcome and like you are in your city and home. The location of the accommodation is great, close to the Politecnico di Bari, the central station and the city center. Breakfast is great, from fresh fruit to cereals, it's adjusted to everyone. The best description of my stay and experience would be 10 out of 10!

BulgariaVery clean, modern and welcoming apartment, very close to the historic center, the train station, and the center in general. There is really everything inside, an iron, large balconies, and a very comfortable bed. Very abundant and varied breakfast, from fresh fruit to yoghurt, herbal teas, cereals, biscuits and organic jams and milk without lactose or vegetables, and a coffee machine for personal use with a very special coffee. The owner of the structure, Gianluca, a really nice person, available, and always ready to help you in case of need. I really enjoyed it. The best apartment I've been in. I highly recommend it to everyone!

GermanyThe room was large and the whole appartment was very clean. Gianluca was a great host - he was really easy to communicate and stayed in touch thoughout my stay. The B&B is located in a save area right beside the university and in walking distance from the city center (~25min). If you are a solo traveler, just be aware that this B&B is an appartment with only two rooms so your experience might depend on the guest(s) in the other room. I my case, this was not a problem since there were two women staying there but I would have liked to know this before booking.

United StatesI went at the end of June, so the apartment was hot during the afternoon because in there they don't use the air conditioning that more, so they prefer to use fans. I will suggest to have a broader time to do the check-in, starting earlier that 6pm due to it was a little conflict for me as I needed to attend an event immediately at 7pm, so I needed to change the check-in after my event at 10pm.
.The apartment inside is gorgeous! The kitchen is Amazing and it has nice balconies, the room is Huge and really comfy and the location for those studying at Politecnico Di Bari is Wonderful! I just needed to cross the street and I was inside the University.

UkraineGianluca (the host) was extremely helpful and friendly, helped to navigate the city and attractions it offers. Also, very flexible with check in and check out, which helps very much if you have any delays while traveling to Bari (as happened to me). The location of the facility was excellent, a small walk to the city center and main attraction, quite and safe area of the city! I have to note the cleanliness of the apartment, it was spotless and extremely spacious, which would be perfect for solo, couple, or family stays! Plus, Gianluca teaches to make a perfect Italian espresso for the breakfast:) I totally recommend Blackboard House if you get to Bari🇮🇹
