Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 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 them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

South AfricaMy only problem was that the crockery was stacked on a rack and this results in some of the plates being chipped. There could be more hooks in the bathroom or bedroom
The apartment was very clean and in a great location. The bed was very comfortable and facilities were great. It’s in the best part of Polignano a mare and our host Gianni was lovely.

The location is excellent with both the sea and the centre only a couple of minutes' walk, yet very quiet at night for a good night sleep. The central station is approximately 10 minutes' walk and from here you can catch trains to many other locations such as Monopoli (5 min journey), Bari, Ostuni and many more. Near the station you can also catch a bus to Alberobello, approximately one hour journey. The rooms and whole building are very well maintained and very secure. The owner Gianni takes very good care of the building and its guests; he genuinely cares and would do anything to ensure they have a pleasant stay. His customer service skills are exceptional, he is always available to support with any enquiries and willing to go the extra mile. He replies within minutes and has an extensive knowledge of Polignano and surrounding towns as well as what these have to offer; I tried most of the restaurants he suggested and I was never disappointed. The boat tour suggested was the best! I have never before received the level of service Gianni has provided in similar accommodations and I would highly recommend Dimora Grottone. I am immensely grateful to Gianni and I am most definitely coming back. Thank you!

SwedenNo lift (if that is important for you) only stairs.
Everything was perfect. Immaculately clean self-catering apartment. Kind and welcoming staff. Washing machine available and host gave me liquid. The bedroom felt fit for a princess. Partial ocean views + city views and great to watch sunsets from the wrap-around balcony. Just one street back from ocean in a quiet area. Easy walking distance to all sites. 20min walk to port for boat tours. 15min walk to train station. Coffee machine and pods, kettle and tea included. 10min walk to grocery store.

United StatesWe had some problems with the toilet leaking but the host let us know about it when we got there. it still would make a mess sometimes so we would just throw a towel on the floor to soak up the leak. Also, our room, though beautiful, was on the highest floor and there was no elevator so we would be out of breath by the time we got to our room. Haha The only real problem was when we had our luggage. Other than that, just taking a deep breath and we were fine haha
The host really is what made this experience super enjoyable. I’m extremely pleased with his customer service as he was very kind and helpful with everything, especially since we were a big group. I could not have survived with such a big group without his assistance. The property had all the essentials and was a close walk to the beach. It also had a washing machine which was great!

BrazilFantastic stay! Very close to the historic center, the lungomare Domenico Modugno and its famous statue, wonderful sea view. Close to several restaurants and coffee shop for breakfast. I parked at the street at the low season in May, but there is a convenient paid parking around 200m from the place. Gianni – the owner – could not be a better host: reliable at checkin and checkout scheduled hours, helped with baggage, gave a lot of useful information and booked us a very nice boat tour. When we arrived there was a bottle of local wine, water and snacks. The apartment is nice, comfortable bed and pillows, nice TV. The living room and small kitchen are useful, with the minifridge and the nespresso machine, always full with capsules. It was impeccably clean, as they service it every other day and refresh the towels. A free washing machine at the building was also very useful. Bravo, Gianni, a stay to be proud of!

Gianni is an exceptional host with lots of useful information about places to visit and where to eat. He booked a boat trip for us and drive us to San Vito and back for it, as well as picking us up at the railway station. He is very committed to ensuring that his guests have the best time possible and I can't praise him highly enough.
