How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

It's off season so not many other guests to interact with, but that's probably entirely different in summer!
Lobby Collective is a no-nonsense hostel about 30 minutes walking from Lecce's historic center. There's a good supermarket across the road where you can buy anything for your meals prepped in the shared kitchen and enjoyed in their sunny garden. Staff is friendly, rooms are comfy enough, and shared spaces are clean and useful. There's an easy self check-in system if you arrive after 8pm. Bonus: They warmly welcome cyclists like myself!

Air conditioning only works at night (8:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m.); however, with high daytime temperatures, air conditioning during the day would be useful.
Typical Italian breakfast. The room and bathrooms were kept clean throughout my stay. The staff was very polite and open (when I arrived at night, I met a receptionist on the street who took me to the hotel, even though she had already finished work, and helped me collect the card). The location is outside the center, but there is a bus stop right next to the hostel, from which you can get to the center.

One of the best hostels I’ve been to! Clean and comfortable facilities, great kitchen, everything is organized and well thought out without being obnoxious. The hostel is super social, staff is wonderful, special shoutout to Antonio for community dinners and karaoke nights, it’s been an unforgettable experience!

It has a social environment for those who want it, and a quiet environment for those who don't. It is half an hour away from the center, but access to needed services is easy. Breakfast was simple but delicious. The employees were friendly and helpful. Generally it has a good ambiance.

In my case autoamted check-in, I was able to do it but key was not loaded to the machine, which could have been the problem as I came just before midnight
Awesome place in great location. It has ton of facilities and nice vibe to meet up people and spend time there. Apart from that it's clean and well organised. Despite some error for automated check-in staff was there to support me. Also nice breakfast that you can grab there before starting your day.

I do not fancy additional city tax of nearly 10% of the ticket price to be honest. Also, it is a bit of a walking distance from central areas, which is still fine.
The hostel itself was quite good looking and comfortable with an excellen hang-out area. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was large enough and the bed was great. The facilities were satisfactory and the terrace was nicely accessible and peaceful.
