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...).

First of all I want to express my gratitude to Francesco and Louisa for being such a kind, genuine and warm hosts and for making my stay absolutely wonderfull. Fikus is a quiet, authentic and very beautiful hidden gem surrounded by olive trees where nature is at its best. Francesco and Louisa do everything in order for you to have the best (Italian) experience as possible, which is very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Fikus to anyone looking for a genuine, Italian experience in a highly esthetical setting. I will miss you :) big kisses and hugs to Greta, Dante and Frida xxx

United KingdomThere is scope to improve the presentation of pool amenities which are shared with family and dogs. We loved the dogs but sharing the pool furniture could be off putting for some :-)
Francesco and Luisa are lovely hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast gluten and dairy free options were provided which was a great help.

RomaniaEverything was perfect
Everything was more than perfect. The house, the surroundings, the decor, all made it feel like a true Apulian experience. You could feel that Luisa and Francesco do this with lots of passion.

ItalyOur stay at Fikus was perfect. We loved the place, the facilities, the hosts, the chef, and our breakfasts (including a dinner in the garden, in an idyllic atmosphere, surrounded by olive trees and singing crickets). I would totally recommend Fikus for a few days to disconnect from reality, but also conveniently being able to go to the main surrounding towns (such as Ceglie Messapica or Ostuni) within a short drive.

BulgariaA remarkable gem nestled in the heart of Puglia. From the moment we stepped foot onto its enchanting grounds, we were transported to a world of serene beauty. Fikus is surrounded by breathtaking olive tree views that truly capture the essence of rural Italy. We were warmly welcomed by Francesco. His and Luisa's genuine hospitality created an ambiance that instantly made us feel at home. Our trullo at Fikus was a testament to impeccable taste and attention to detail. One of the highlights of our stay was the culinary experience. We tasted the finest local ingredients, expertly prepared by Michele who masterfully crafted each dish. Fikus grounds are heaven of tranquility and natural beauty. The meticulously maintained gardens, blooming with vibrant flowers and fragrant herbs, provided the perfect backdrop for peaceful walks and moments of relaxation. The pool area, surrounded by lush greenery, offered a refreshing oasis to soak up the Italian sun and unwind in pure bliss.

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at Fikus:) The property is very nice and directly gives you holiday vibes. We also liked our cute little house which was bigger than expected. It is a great place to just relax but also to explore puglia. There are very beautiful cities nearby to visit or to go for dinner. Thanks also to Francesco and Michele who are very nice and helpful persons. We received great tips what to visit or where to go out for dinner. We also loved the dogs that really well behave and like to cuddle :) we hope to come back in the future and would definitely recommend to stay there.

BulgariaI don't recommend and I can't explain the rating! The place is far, the nearest town is 10 minutes away by car, which is inconvenient especially for going home late at night, after dinner, because such is not offered on site. The accommodation is basic - the rooms are small, furnished only with a bed, a sofa chair and something like a table, there is no wardrobe and the suitcases, and all the luggage cannot really be arranged anywhere. The bathrooms are the most problematic - I have never been in a smaller bathroom in my life - narrow and low at the same time, after a shower everything is flooded! The shower is separated by a curtain, which is also constantly wet and very uncomfortable! Breakfast is the same every day - there are 4 options to choose from. The first is 3-4 biscuits with a milkshake, the second is a sandwich with peanut butter and fruit, the third is yogurt with fruit and really the only nutritious one is the last one - a sandwich with cherry tomatoes, 2 slices of cheese and prosciutto! Thera aren’t any fruits and vegetables. If your stay is 5 days like us you won't want to look for a breakfast in the end. They also offer cake, hot drinks and juice. However, none of the things are homemade as the presented! We also had very serious problems with the internet, and there is no good network . There are an awful, awful lot of flies! The whole area around the houses is messed, neglected and unmaintained - just tables and chairs without any comfort. Dirty and damp cushions on which the owners' cats and dogs climb. There is a playhouse for children and an outdoor kitchen with a large table, but these too are dirty and run down. The only nice place is the pool area, but seeing the dogs and cats sharing the sunbeds with you will make you give up the pool! And in the end - all this big nothing is highly, very highly overpriced - too expensive for what is on offer!
Nice owners!

SwitzerlandWe had an incredible week at Fikus especially due to the very welcoming nature of Francesco and Luisa! The B&B is located in the middle of a beautiful olive garden, has a very beautiful and relaxing pool area and we enjoyed every minute! Especially for families with kids, we can highly recommend to visit Fikus. Additionally, Francesco and Luisa gave us the best Tipps for restaurants, beach clubs and places to visit. Thanks a lot!

NetherlandsNot sure wether it was the superb hospitality of Francesco and Luisa, the serene and stylish setting or the excellent breakfast and dinner from Michele that made this stay exceptional. Or maybe it was the family dogs and cat that welcomed you every time they saw you… we had an excellent stay here and can’t wait to visit again!
