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...).

ItalyIt was a great stay but the breakfast could have been better for the price. And while one staff member was really nice, another was quite unfriendly. The rainfall shower didn't work but none of these are deal breakers.
The place was very stylish and luxurious and the location was great. The room was clean and airy, the bed was comfy, the AC was silent and effective, we loved our balcony and the design of the room. The shower gel and body moisturisers etc were also of a nice quality. And one of the staff was very friendly and made us a café leccese when we arrived!

Very nice, small and renovated B&B in the old town of Lecce. Close to all sightseeings and restaurants. Breakfast is served in the B&B and has more choices than standard Italian B&B breakfast where you get only espresso and pastries. You can even get fresh orange juice. Would love to come back in the future.

United KingdomI absolutely loved my stay here, I booked the suite for my partner's 30th birthday and can not recommend enough! The location was great if you want to see the old town of Lecce and in walking distance to some great restaurants too. The staff were very friendly and helped us plan our afternoon in the town so we saw the main sites. Loved our stay!

CanadaThis place was so amazing that it pains me to write these points. Arco Vecchio could be made even better if it had the following: - a mirror in the room. There was no mirror in our room. So if someone is using the bathroom, there is no other mirror to save you time. A mirror with an electric plug nearby would enhance the facility. -poor lighting in the room. We had to use our cellular telephones to read small print. -shelves in the bathroom. There are no shelves in the bathroom to store toiletries. I hope my points are appreciated because they are not meant to take anything away from this beautiful gem but to make it better for future visits. I would go back in a heartbeat.
This place is beautiful. It's a little gem. The location is perfect- walking distance to everything but in a very quiet neighborhood. The rooms are very soundproof and very modern and offer ample storage for clothes. The rooms are equipped with a boiler and coffee machine. There is also a small refrigerator in the room where you can keep some drinks. The building also has an elevator. The beds are super comfortable. The breakfast is amazing with an abundance of sweet and savory choices. Paola, the breakfast lady, prepares a beautiful spread and makes your choice of coffee. Thank you Paola for your kindness.

United StatesJust hard to find buried in the old city. Once there, great place!
Good communication from Maximilian before arrival. Once there, the location is great, though it was very difficult for us to find. Our maps were inaccurate about tiny lanes in old city. Sylvia, front desk/reception was very helpful in navigating us in, once we called for help. We were also given great recommendation for dinner. Staff very helpful and communicative. Good breakfast. Smart, chic spot. Very walkable. Near sights, restaurants, bars, shops in old city.
