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.).

United KingdomProximity to town
This was a beautiful, majestic property. The staff were excellent, especially the three ladies on reception (Sara's is the only name I have). They booked cars for us, found out about facilities in other cities and generally helped. Lecce is a busy city and this hotel and its vast grounds were just outside it. You could walk into the city, but it was fairly long. However, there was a shuttle car in for evening meals etc if you wanted it. Breakfast was very good with hot and cold food. Restaurant service was either light meals (very good and a lovely bar) or fine dining on certain days, which we did not have. Swimming pool looked inviting but it was still too cold for me in May

SingaporeIt was cold the couple of days we stayed, the weather was chilly and windy. Being an ancient historic building with superbly high-vaulted ceilings, it can be cold in the room, but we were provided with thick comforter the next night. Can’t say we don’t like the property, it’s a trade-off between cold and an unimaginably unique experience. We vote for this special experience!
Surrounded by history, art - many art pieces hung on the ancient walls. Everywhere our eyes enjoy the visual beauty; the cloister was quiet as a cloister should be. We walked from hall to hall, it is hallowed grounds. Magnificent. We love every minute spent in this hotel.

FranceReally disliked the flower art on the walls. The light in the bedroom is too bright because of the windows. Would need a better system for the blinds. The breakfast would need a better chef and the coffee is not great, maybe a Nespresso machine would be amazing for breakfast and in the bedrooms. A bar is missing in the courtyard in the evening (why have all these comfortable chairs?).
Amazing stay.The mix of old and new. The comfort in the rooms. The pool.Loved the tall windows and ceilings.
