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 StatesThe best part about this place are the hosts. They are warm, friendly, and caring. It was a little off the beaten path but so easy to get to the busy waterfront. Nice to be in more of a residential area. The homemade baked cakes and pastries for breakfast was out of this world!

Nana, Franco & Annaeise were amazing hosts. Very warm welcome when we arrived. Good tips on places nearby to visit. Room was perfect. Spacious, clean & comfortable. Parking on street was not a problem. Franco offered us a parking permit but we didn't actually need it. Big breakfast with lots of home made cakes etc. Supermarket on the street corner and 10-15 min walk to beach, restaurants, old town etc.

The breakfast was incredible, fresh fruits, cheese and cold cuts, various types of torts and cakes, pancakes, cucumbers and tomatoes and bakery bread. They host and hostess for incredibly friendly and attentive, they offered fresh juice and cappuccinos every morning, served at our own tables on the outdoor covered balcony. Hosts were definitely the most attentive, kind, caring, and helpful people I have ever met! The B&B was located in a quiet residential neighborhood just a few minutes walk from the center of town. The parking was easy in front. the the B&B was cheerfully decorated and extremely clean.

Our stay couldnt have been better! We were met by Franco, Nana and Anais on arrival and they made us feel like part of the family straight away. The bedroom and bathroom are really lovely, modern and exceptionally clean with hand painted artwork by Nana, the breakfast was wonderful with lots of choice and gorgeous home made cakes. It was so nice being able to have breakfast just outside your room too on the balcony. It’s a ten minute walk to the centre with beautiful beaches close by, the parking was free right outside the property so it was really easy. Also I’m learning Italian and they were all really kind and patient with me. I can’t emphasise enough how amazing the hosts are, it was the best place we’ve ever stayed. We really didn’t want to leave!

The breakfast was amazing like in 5* hotel, but with Nana's home made cakes and tarts... it was even better. The rooms are spacious, modern and extremely clean.

Scrupulously clean, spacious, and everything fully functional, it’s immaculate all round. The hosts Franco & Nana welcome you like long lost family, then reappear in the morning to oversee breakfast, which is all fresh each day, and despite only catering to a maximum of four sets of guests, the full range of coffee, tea, bread, meat, cheese, fruit and pastries is covered, crowned by Nana’s home made cake - if there’s a Great Italian Bake-Off TV programme, Nana should enter! Yes, it’s possible to stay a bit nearer the old town and/or the beach, but both are in the easy walking distances claimed. The Atlantis beach restaurant at the end of their road has umbrella and beds for 22 euros, and there is a well stocked Waitrose-like CONAD supermarket 50 metres the other way. There’s also free street parking on the opposite side of their road. One of us is vegetarian, and with this in mind, they gave us two restaurant recommendations - Resto Gusto, and La Bella Idrusa for pizzas (enormous! consider sharing!) - which were both excellent. After two nights, we were waved off to continue our journey with a handshake, hug and a kiss.

Nana and Franco were welcoming, kind, helpful and their caring attitudes made us feel like family. Our room was spacious,modern,clean and very comfortable.

Receiving a beautiful hand painted piece of artwork as a parting gift from Nana provided us with a beautiful momento from our wonderful stay in Otranto.
