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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThis is really nitpicking but I think we’d have welcomed a non tasting menu dinner option which might have meant we’d have eaten there every evening and not just one .
This Masseria is situated in the countryside between Ostuni and Martina Franca which makes it perfect for exploring the entire Istria valley . The property is an old farmhouse with numerous characterful buildings set in grounds with a lovely swimming pool . Our room was a large one on the first floor ( reached by an outside stone staircase ) with a massive terrace . It was very comfortable. Downstairs there’s a really lovely cosy lounge for residents with an honesty bar and tea and coffee making facilities which are open all the time. Meals are in the restaurant building just across a lawn. Breakfast is a buffet which had a good and varied selection. Dinners are a changing tasting menu. All the staff whether in reception or the restaurant are helpful and friendly and speak excellent English. Our stay was a really delightful one and we’d recommend it to anyone who wants to stay somewhere Un-formulaic and full of charm.

Australia-
We arrived early and they collected our luggage and suggested we wait by the pool till our room was ready. We ordered some salads and drinks which were delightful and we totally relaxed. Then we were shown all the grounds and our room. It far exceeded our expectations. Dinner that evening was superb and all the breakfasts were delicious. Everything you would want to eat plus more.

United KingdomWould like to see bottled water complimentary in room.
Warm welcome that included help with luggage and personally shown around room and the masseria's communal areas, which was appreciated. Accommodation and surrounds are outstanding. There is great attention to detail and a keen design eye applied to all furnishings that's fully in keeping with the history and location of the property. Evening sea food 'tasting' menu was excellent: high quality, tasty food, well prepared and presented. Staying in a Trulli highly enjoyable and the screeching owl outside the window in the early hours just added to a memorable, special stay!

An amazing stay. The hotel is located in a quiet and picturesque location. On our arrival, we were greeted by the exceptionally friendly staff and shown to our room. The room was amazing, clean and fully equipped. The building itself is charming and has all the facilities you could need. We took advantage on the site restaurant and on both occasions enjoyed great tasting menus along with great wine from the ir extensive wine list. The staff are incredibly helpful, not just with with suggesting wines but providing advice on what to do in the local area. I would highly recommend the olive oil tasting! Thank you for a fantastic stay.

RomaniaOur stay at Masseria Cervarolo in Puglia was the epitome of perfection. This Masseria is a true gem, offering a blend of rustic charm and modern luxury that encapsulates the best of the Puglia region. From the warm welcome to the exquisite local cuisine, every moment was a delight. The serene landscapes and meticulously maintained grounds provided a tranquil backdrop for a truly restorative holiday. It was, without a doubt, the ideal Masseria stay for anyone looking to experience the beauty and hospitality of Puglia. An unforgettable retreat we highly recommend.

United StatesAbsolutely nothing
There is not enough time in the day to describe all the wonderful things about this property. It is absolutely beautiful, totally surrounded by olive, apple, and pomegranate trees. The location is perfect, 4 km from Ostuni. We visited 7 different villages/cities that were all incredible and within 45 minutes drive. The rooms are stunning and perfectly quaint. Each morning we were awakened by the birds singing followed by a delicious breakfast. The food was excellent and very affordable. Even after all the beauty of the property, the staff was the real highlight of this property. Every single staff member was warm and overly accommodating. We have stayed in 5 star resorts all over the world, this place is a total gem. If you are looking for an incredible, quaint, one of a kind relaxing experience surrounded by total beauty, this is your place.

United KingdomHave become accustomed to free tea/coffee making facilities in most booked rooms so was a little bit disappointed to realise this was missing. There were coffee making facilities in a communal area, however, these were not complimentary. Didn't take a dip in the pool as the weather was not permitting but could see quite a bit of dirt at the bottom.
Lovely site in the countryside. Great relaxed atmosphere to the place, contributed by the gorgeous historic buildings and beautiful decor. The staff were very nice. Great service, particularly in the restaurant, both at breakfast and dinner. Lovely touch from Masseria Cervarolo when they presented my husband with a birthday cake at breakfast!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful with accomodation-related enquires, and also recommendations on where to go, and what to see! The Masseria itself is charming and full of character. The grounds are lush and well maintained. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Masseria and the breakfast included was fresh and plentiful! Would gladly recommend this Masseria.

It was 15km from ostuni but that’s what I wanted so we could travel to all the little wallled towns. Lots of room and fabulous pool. The staff Paulo and Alfonso made the stay incredible. Well worth the visit but you must have a car or be prepared to drive. Food was good. Breakfast a little disappointing but I was happy.
