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...).

We were lucky enough to be upgraded to an apartment on arrival. The apartment was just perfect. We had a great balcony which we were able to enjoy (wine and fruit). The location was fantastic! The checkin staff was very nice and they arranged to pick us up at the parking lot with our luggage. Monopoli is a beautiful town. I highly recommend this lovely place.

FinlandComfortable and beatiful room in the center of Monopoli. Very friendly staff brought us from car park to the reception and to the room, situated in a beautiful old building. Good, calm location - next to cafés, bars and restaurants. Appreciated the useful and very good hints & tips for restaurants (we traveled off season) and friendly help with my forgotten handbag. Big, delicious breakfast! All in all a wonderful stay!

United KingdomSuch a warm welcome here . The location is superb and I would recommend Albergo Diffuso for a lovely stay in Monopoli. My room was simply furnished but practical ( even had an iron!) The small courtyard is delightful and perfect for the excellent breakfast and wonderful coffee available in the morning.

CanadaDecor was very plain - not as cute as some of the suites advertised. Guests should know about very steep stairs to suite.
Nice location, large bedroom with comfy bed. Private rooftop terrace with table and chairs, washing machine, and laundry lines (but not much of a view). Kitchen had what we needed. Mostly very quiet area yet close to all the action. Very clean.

United StatesThe hotel has its rooms scattered within a close proximity of the reception and breakfast area. Our room was around the corner which was perfectly fine with us. We had to go up a narrow spiral staircase to the room which was also fine with us but this might be difficult for some people to manage. Also if you arrive by car remember to follow their instructions not to drive into the old town zone where the hotel is located. We forgot about this and it was a difficult drive to get back out, though a staff person got in our car with us and helped lead us out which was very helpful.
Good location in the heart of Monopoli. Nice breakfast with friendly staff that is served outside. Our room which was more like an apartment was very clean. Good WiFi.

AustraliaBreakfast was only basic. Did the job. Coffee was great. Top floor apartment with tight stairs. Would be an idea to ask guest if they are okay to climb stairs to top apartment.
Lucky for the great Super Mario. Helped with carrying bags to top floor apartment. He would also greet us with a happy hello and smile when seen in street. Location close to everything. Room and bathroom are a good size. Pick up us from car park to take us to apartment for free. Lovely service.

United StatesOur first room was located on the first floor with the bathroom and kitchenette being in a basement area. It was very musty smelling which is problematic to people with asthma like me. However, wonderful Silvia was able to help us out.
The property was clean and in a great location.  They offer pick up service from the parking lot to their front door. It would be difficult to walk through the entire town with luggage .

IrelandNo parking . The free parking was 20 mins and even if you paid parking it's like a 5 or 10 min walk . Also there was a late fee charged as we arrived after 7pm. This was very expensive. EUR 25.
Location was excellent. Just off the main piazza in the old town . For us couldn't be better. Also staff were very helpful.

United KingdomThe spa bath didn’t get to the hottest temperature as I would have preferred
Albergo Diffuso is a fantastic, magical stay. A real experience! We booked a Queen Room with Spa Bath and were completely enchanted with our stay. The room was away from the reception area, so felt a bit like our own Air BnB. The bed was comfy, nicely designed room, complimentary mini bar (including Prosecco which was a treat), and a complimentary TukTuk ride to/ from the free public car park outside of the old town. Would recommend paying the extra room upgrade for this experience as it really made our time in Monopoli!
