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.).

IrelandLoved everything about Altair. The accommodation is spotless clean, well equipped and spacious, all the staff but especially Claudio and Andrea go above and beyond their duties to make your stay enjoyable. The pool area is so tranquil, spotless clean, beautiful setting for relaxing before or after some sightseeing. Otranto is a beautiful town, we will be back. For a stay in September a car is essential to explore the beautiful region.

NetherlandsAs it was very windy we did not spend any time at the private beach, so we cannot comment on that.
Very friendly staff! The entire residence is clean, with a lovely pool area, comfortable sunbeds all around the garden. The cosy restaurant offers fresh Italian dishes, very good. Again with friendly service. Our room was spacious with a terrace, relax chairs. Inside lots of space, good beds, quiet area. We had a great stay. Otranto and Lecche are nearby if you have a car.

IrelandA little old. Kitchenette a bit dingy. But bathroom very good. Relaxing to sit out the back of the apartment also. Road driving a little crazy as expected, the middle of the road apparently is not the middle of the road. Bring a good book also.
Very relaxed property in a good location. Staff lead by Andrea are very chilled. All the family enjoyed the pool area. Some music at night. Easy close by access to a good quality beach, with chairs and shade booked through hotel. Easy access to many eating options all around the area and further afield. Lecce 50 mins, great fun swimming at Porto Badisco. Aircon not bad. A great holiday had by all the family. Ostuni a great option when heading back to the airport

NetherlandsDuring the low season most of the facilities were inactive, it felt cold (houses are of stone and the airco and heating are only located on the first floor). The playground for the kids clearly needed maintenance so not everything was ready. The utilities in the kitchen were basic and of basic quality.

Surrounded by beautiful nature, apartments are nice an comfortable, suitable for summer time, when raining it was very cold inside. Apartments are also very spacious and kitchen solidly equiped. The pool was exeptional, clean and put in a nature with trees.

Czech RepublicWhat could have been better is the breakfast. If you like sweets I think you are okay because there's several options. If you like salty, not so much. There's cheese, ham and turkey or salami. But the days we were there the cheese would run out well before breakfast was over and they wouldn't refill. Also there's a problem with the bees, they are all over the ham so you don't want to eat it. They also take over the juice and then you have dead bees floating on the juice. I think the bees are an issue that should be resolved somehow because it's a pity. Apparently there were eggs but there's a sign hidden in italian, so if you don't see it or understand italian, you don't know you have can ask for them. There's a bar by the pool but the day we decided to stay by the pool, the bar was closed the whole day, no clue what happened. One last comment, there's a kitchen but no oven, microwave nor anything to clean the dishes, so if you cook once during the day you are done basically, you can cook something on the electric stove for lunch or dinner, not both.
The residence has a very large pool with many loungers and chairs. You can also walk 20-30 min and get to the beach but there's also a "train" car that takes you there, although you have to get back early if you want to take the train back to the hote. The hotel staff is very friendly. The apartment had quite a good size and overall I would say it's good value for money. I think we would stay here again, you can really relax and enjoy the pool and beach. I think if you come in July/August it can be quite crowded so not sure how much you would relax though. September was fine.

IrelandThere is nothing we didn't like!!
There are not many locations where the pictures on the website are accurate. If anything, the photos do not do justice to this little piece of unassuming paradise. We discovered Altair by chance, but we will be back. The food in the restaurant is sublime, crafted with diligence and genuine interest by Mauro. The host, Andrea, is both professional and very friendly, always helpful and attentive to all our needs and always full of useful information and suggestions. The rooms are spacious and spotless. And the pool is absolutely perfect, set in mature and beautiful greenery - the perfect place to relax. Altair is a short ten minute walk to a unique beach with reasonably priced sunbathing paraphernalia and nice bars for a bite to eat or a cool drink

Perfect location, 7 minutes outside Otranto, 5 mins from the beach, the hotel provided free transport to the beach every day. Fabulous big pool and pool side bar. Air conditioning only upstairs, beds comfortable and clean. Excellent place for children. Check-in was excellent, even though we arrived late at night. The Manager was extremely helpful with suggestions for places to eat and visit and his English was excellent.
