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.).

Roberto is the perfect host. Along with Moussa they do everything to ensure that you have a memorable stay. The place has been carefully renovated and the beauty of this shines through in every detail. It's a very easy place to interact with other guests. Dinner was a treat prepared with fresh local produce. Breakfast was the best ever. A series of delights served at your table. Fruit, freshly baked pastries and brioches, salad, eggs to order, great coffee. It's a perfect location to tour the heel of Italy and Roberto will advise on where to go depending on your interests.

United StatesWe came to the area specifically to stay at Critabianca after reading reviews on Booking.com. The hotel and the family running it, absolutely blew us away. It was a dream vacation. Moussa, who makes all the food is an incredible chef and is so kind. We will dream about the amazing breakfasts, dinners, and aperitivos for a very long time. I want everyone I know to have the experience of staying at Critabianca. Roberto and his family go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have the best recommendations for visiting towns close by. I would give it 11 stars if I could!

United StatesAbsolutely nothing.
Roberta, Roberto, Nicoletta, Alessandro, and Moussa made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, welcomed us even when we checked in later than regular hours, and waved us off when we left. The rooms were exceptionally clean, breakfast was excellent (and prepped by the family every morning), and the poolside lounging and the estate could easily compete with the beautiful beaches of Puglia. This place has such a serene atmosphere that we didn’t want to leave after almost a week. Nicoletta was spot on with her beach recommendations, and thanks to her, we swam in the calmest waters and best beaches of southern Puglia until we found ourselves again by the pool at the Masseria for some afternoon iced coffee and sorbet. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more relaxing stay.

FinlandWe loved it! The most special stay of any of our trips. More than anything, Critabianca is an exceptional boutique hotel experience at an affordable price. The owners and staff were genuinely warm-hearted and friendly. They made our stay so much more than we had expected. The breakfast was extraordinary and made from local produce, some even from their own garden. Everything is home made and delicious! Our special diets (vegan+gluten free) were no problem at all. The dinner was to die for - best we have ever eaten! Next time we will also take part in the cooking class. The suite with its own terrace, was even more beautiful than in the pictures. The suite is spacious and with very high ceilings, some of the old frescos have even been saved. Due to the off-season we could enjoy the whole hotel to our selves. The property with garden and pool is really beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. The weather was cold during our stay so we didn't get to enjoy it fully, but when it is warmer, the breakfast and dinner is served outdoors in the courtyard. The cute house cat can be greeted from time to time. You will receive excellent tips for your adventures around Puglia (do visit the coast from Otranto to Leuca!) by the owners. Effortless, easy and fun communication. We truly recommend Critabianca from the bottom of our hearts!

I wanted to pick up this beautiful place and carry it with me all over Italy so I could continue to stay here. We had the “Princess Room” which is so spacious and has so many wonderful features including the gorgeous ceiling, the walls with frescoes and the two balconies. I also loved sitting in the various garden seats scattered around the garden, especially the one near the roses for an evening wine - so peaceful and relaxing. Not only did we have breakfast at the masseria we also dined there each evening and Mosaic, the chef, presented us with delicious, fresh food every time. The attention to detail and care with which everything is done to ensure your stay is as elegant and stylish as possible is something I will always remember and hold dear. Roberto and Roberta are wonderful warm, generous hosts who offer sage advice and assistance. Their restoration of the masseria is a very interesting story and they have worked with great care to keep the atmosphere and sense of history while also creating somewhere very comfortable snd elegant. we loved the area, particularly the town of Galentina.

- Roberto is an exceptional host. From sharing all he knows about food, culture and things to do to in the area to making sure that everything one asks for is taken care of in a very friendly and polite way. It was a true pleasure to tap into his experiences and getting to know him as a person. - Moussa is an incredible chef who made breakfast and dinner for us on a number of evenings. He also provided us with a cooking class, which we highly recommend. The food is predominantly self-made, straight from the garden. Truly exceptional quality and taste. - The hotel is beautifully restored with a lot of taste for design and historical aspects. Our room was large, the bed was great, lots of nice little details etc.

If you appreciate personal attention by a family dedicated to make your stay a happy and comfortable one, Critabianca is the place to go. Lovely people, great food (with in particular an exceptional breakfast) and such a beautiful country estate are not easily matched elsewhere. A joyous welcome immediately made us feel at home. The enthusiasm displayed by Nicoletta and Roberto when proudly showing the house, was easily matched by Roberta and Mousa in the kitchen. Of course, the house being in a more rural area, it is much more quiet than if it were in town. That also implies that you require transport to get around. But the location is very suitable to reach most other parts of the southern heel of Italy’s boot well within the hour. We will certainly return!

AustraliaWhere to begin?! Critabianca was a dream. We had a day of delays and didn’t arrive until midnight. Nicoletta was in communication with me all day and stayed up with Roberto greeting us on entry and showing us to our room. When we woke up we went to breakfast and was served the freshest, most delicious food by Roberto and Moussa. The whole family was incredibly accommodating, it was clean, beautifully decorated and we felt very relaxed. We chose to eat dinner at Critabianca in the night which was the local cuisine with fresh produce and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back and will tell all our friends and family to stay here.

United KingdomWe stayed at Critabianca for our honeymoon and we can honestly say every part of it was perfect. When we first arrived we were in complete awe of the house, such a peaceful feel and impressive design as well as great warmth from the lovely family who run it. I could write a whole essay on our stay but have chosen a few favourites that really stood out. Roberto basically planned our whole stay, he told us about the best restaurants and the best towns to visit - along with which days to go where according to the weather. He and Alessandro were so generous with their time and every suggestion was just perfect. Roberto knows where all the good food is! Secondly, Moussa, the in-house chef. Wow wow wow, so much detail in everything he cooks and all from scratch! We had dinner one night at the hotel and also did a cooking course where we made fresh Orecchiette pasta, focaccia and cake! We enjoyed eating his delicious breakfast each morning and he always greets you with a smile. Thanks also to Roberta and Nicoletta who helped us when booking and were so kind. Clean rooms, beautiful countryside, amazing places. We rented a car at the airport (a must, very straightforward - I would recommend pre booking), this enabled us to see lots of different towns and beaches. Highly recommend to anyone seeking an unusual, beautiful authentic holiday! We will definitely be returning and miss them all already! X

There was nothing not to like about Critabianca, it was by far the best place we’ve stayed in Italy. The Gione family and Moussa can not do enough to make your stay special - As we drove up to the property we were greeted by the whole family, and from that point on Allessandro, Roberto and his family looked after us as if we were old friends! The property has been restored to a exceptional level, the interior design and architectural details are stunning, and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. Last but definitely not least, we could not do justice to explaining how phenomenal the food truly is - Moussa and the family make each breakfast unique and delicious and the evening meals really are Michelin Star quality and more… so good that we stayed in the hotel twice for dinner rather than going out exploring! We’re already looking at our return trip! Thanks so much for everything!

United StatesThe mattresses are quite firm and while many people many enjoy them, we personally found it a bit less comfortable.
Our stay was one we never could have imagined. The Ghione family redefines what it means to be in the hospitality business. They poured their heart into this property and it is a true labor of love. While the design is beautiful and the history of the masseria is rich. Roberto, Roberta, Nicoletta, Alessandro and Moussa truly treat each guest like family and create an environment that makes you feel like you're at home. They are warm, inviting and take a real interest in all of their guests. Their morning breakfast is nothing like we have ever seen. Ask about their cooking classes! My partner and I took a cooking class with Roberto and Moussa and it was the highlight of our trip. Critabianca is a great homebase to explore the southern, coastal towns of Puglia.
