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.).

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay. The apartment was perfect and Francesca is the kindest most helpful host. She gave us many recommendation for the area and really does go above and beyond for her guests. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, charming and has all the amenities you need. It’s really handy having the two bathrooms when you are travelling with a family. The location is perfect and situated within the town centre so everything is walkable. We would 100% stay here again when we return to Monopoli!

Verified reviewAmazing 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of beautiful old town Monopoli, just down a quiet side street. Apartment is spotless and really big with two lovely little balconies. Our host was fabulous. Really informative and even baked us a lovely cake during our stay. You can't go wrong on the location, it's perfect as is B&B Mare Mio and the lovely host. 5* definitely recommend.

Verified reviewFrancesca is the kindest host in the world. :) She was very helpful from the beginning, during check in she gave me many tips about restaurants or what I should see in Monopoli. I chose an Italian breakfast which was delicious: a croissant and multiple jams made by her mom, juice, fruits, sweets (I got addicted to them), all home made. Her whole family is very friendly, they even helped me and picked me up from Alberobello when the last bus left and I had no other option to get back to Monopoli! It was very nice stay, the apartment is very comfortable. I definitely recommend it!
Hi, thanks for your kind message.💖 It has been a pleasure have you as our guest! You'll be always welcome!☺️ Making a guest feel at home is our goal❗

Verified reviewIt was a traditional cosy apartment in the heart of old town Monopoli close to all the attractions. The host Francesca was lovely and multi-talented with her artistry and cooking skills. She gave us some great tips and shared some stories about the history of her apartment and the town.
The bathrooms were very small and with low ceilings making it a little difficult for tall people like us. The stairs are quite steep and tricky with suitcases but doesn’t detract from the overall experience.

A lot of love and attention to detail in this apartment! It was 2 bedrooms and each had their own private bathroom outside of the bedroom. This worked perfect for us.

Verified reviewWe loved everything. The apertment is so sweet and cosy and was decorated with great taste and talent specialy for Xmas by Francesca who was also intouch with us during the whole stay, especially in the mornings when she came to prepare breakfast for us. Was fun to get to know her and recieve tips from her as to where to visit and eat. She even gave us a card that saves us 10% in a few resturants we visited. The apartment is in a perfect location when staying in the old part of town. And what an amazing town Monopoli is. Being set between Bari and Locorotondo and Alborebelo, Its' location in perfect. It's was a short holiday but one of the best we had in a last few years. Thanks to you Francesca.
