Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these areas, 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SpainThe manager was not very talkative / friendly to us. Actually, we had a car accident (flat tire) on our way to Bovino and when we informed him from the road the only answer from him was "OK". He did not really show any kind of interest or offered help. Welcoming upon arrival or the morning after for breakfast was also rather cold. I think that for the category of this very nice place, this aspect should be improved.
Superb location on top of a hill inside an old castle. Spacious, elegant and clean room, comfortable bed.

United KingdomThere was a mini-bar in our room but it ran a little warm.
The location is superb - right on top of the hill in Bovino with views for miles. The centre of the village is a short walk away, and we loved running through the ancient alleys and paths up to the castle. In October, we were the only guests there and it felt like we owned the castle which was fun for the kids! The breakfast was fresh and delicious. A jam tart, some croissants and cereals on offer along with jams and spreads. Nothing savoury - but all very tasty nonetheless. Lots of tea options. Room facilities were good - dental kits, shower caps, shampoo and slippers. The superior room was absolutely cavernous in size. The triple was smaller, but still very comfortable for our children. Would recommend and return. In off season, be very accurate with your arrival time as we said 4-5pm and were half an hour early, only to find the place locked up. We couldn’t get through on the phone but just before 4pm, the receptionist arrived and very kindly checked us in. He had been in an area without cellphone reception. Some signage outside would have been good - we were starting to panic a little at that point!
