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...).

AustraliaA little difficult to communicate with the host in English. Even though there was a fridge, there were no glasses we could use to have a drink on the balcony (except for one in the bathroom!) Also, maybe a little table on the balcony would be nice.
The location was great. The balcony was nice. Not too far from where we could park. The host Luigi was very helpful and showed us where to park.

IrelandNothing really, everything is catered for adequately with the parking a few hundred meters away but you can off load a few meters from the apartment..
Excellent location beside the main promenade piazza beside the gate to the old town, Breakfast a few doors away in the Garden Cafe. The apartment is on the first floor has a nice traditional/modern decor with private bathroom, kitchen and air conditioned bedroom. A small balcony to the rear with a limited view but with the local bell tower and one of the castle towers. Free parking a distance away. The proprietor introduces and explains everything when you arrive.

United KingdomNothing about the accommodation. Just initially, getting from the train station to Balcone su Otranto was a bit of a trek because there were no taxis or buses that we could find and so we resorted to Google maps and a 15-minute walk. But, Luigi, the owner, more than made up for this set back by kindly driving us back to the station at the end of our trip, which was very kind of him.
The owner Luigi, a lovely gentleman who surprised us with his ability to communicate via google Translate. Brilliant. We booked this as a B&B stay but were very happy to discover a full kitchen and a great private sun patio with an outdoor dining space. The room was very comfortable with insect screens on the windows as well as aircon if you needed it. The breakfast was facilitated by the cafe bar a few metres away on the ground floor. Usually, coffee and a croissant or savoury pastry. The location was superb. A minute or so from the safe beach with clear water and sand. Close to shops, restaurants, and cafes. In the other direction, about 50m from the old walled town with many more shops, ice cream parlours, and restaurants. In the residential area behind, there was a small supermarket for groceries. Otranto is a great holiday destination, and this accommodation is in the best place..

Luigi, the person in charge, is a very helpful and sympathetic person. The room is simple, but got everything you need, a beautiful view to the sea and the park, at a few steps to the "lungomare", restaurants, cafés and shops. We spent 4 nights and had a great time I hardly recommend Balcone su Otranto.

The location of the property is by the beach and one minute walk from historical center. The property has got fully equipped kitchen and little terrace with old town view and also rooftop with the stoning view over the sea . There is cleaning service on a daily basis so the place is super clean, comfortable and superb location.

United KingdomThe host Luigi was very friendly and helpful. I travelled with my 15 year old son and the host invited me to call him if I needed anything during my stay. The room was spacious with a sea view. The lodging is close to the historic centre and bars/ shops and also the sea making it a perfect location. I would recommend this accommodation highly.

GreeceThe balcony is a tiny one, you cannot sit, just stand. We found the owner bit annoying. Arrived there tired after driving many hours and he kept explaining for half an hour how to use a simple key to open the doors and how to open the windows.
The location was great, very central and close to everything. The room was clean and spacious.
