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.).

CanadaOur room had a plumbing problem with no cold water available from the taps, making it harder to achieve a good temperature balance for washing, shaving and showering.
I liked the location, beautiful buildings and grounds, the breakfast with lovely outdoor patio and surrounding olive groves. Also the silence at night and attentive staff.

SerbiaRoom was nothing special, a bit empty looking. Alarm in room was always clicking when you move and not possible to turn it off. Not so much light in the room. Dinner options not so big, bit pricy for what you get.
Place is sorrounded with a forest of olive trees, beautifu. Pool nice, even we did not used it. Nice location, close to Ostuni. Staff polite and friendly.

United KingdomThis is not the fault of the Masseria, which is set deep in the olive groves 1.2km from the main road into Ostuni, but the only way for me to get there was by taxi which would have been a problem if I had been staying longer than two nights. As a pescatarian I was a bit disappointed in the menu which was not large and was very limited in vegetarian dishes. The same for lunch as dinner, and nothing on Tuesdays - which was unfortunate because it had been in my plan to have lunch there between checking out and moving on to my next stay.
Having an Aperol Spritz in the evenings at the table on my covered and sheltered patio. Any adjectives in praise can go before the noun! The pool. The staff. My room (No: 9). The service. The breakfasts. The solitude. The grounds. The dining-room. The toiletries. Did I leave anything out? Oh - the family of cats and their kittens!

SwitzerlandThey should provide a complementary bottle of water in the room. The breakfast could be improved, the homemade bread was very hard, and croissants chewy.
The main Masseria, swimming pool, and the grounds are beautiful. The location is very convenient between Ostuni and the sea.

United KingdomThe menu in the restaurant was a bit limited, so we had pretty much chosen all the dishes we wanted to try after a couple of visits. The wi-fi was a little weak, which became a problem for viewing the online menu. The QR Code menu seems to be universal in this part of Italy, which is OK if you have good wi-fi and good phone skills, but is really annoying, in our opinion.
Very helpful staff throughout, especially at Reception and in the Restaurant. Good spread at breakfast, though we found the menu a bit limited for dinner after a couple of visits. Pool area was well maintained, though the water was a little chilly, even after weeks/months of hot weather. Loved being able to wander off into the olive groves and just commune with nature!

United StatesWe left some crackers on the table in our room for 1 hour when we went to the pool, and when we returned we had ants in our room. It was our fault- we should have wrapped up the food before leaving.
The property is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. It’s located near the main highway so it was easy to do day trips to the surrounding towns, however it is positioned at the end of a long road that is surrounded with olive trees so it feels very secluded. The room was nice, clean, and had AC that worked great (which you don’t always find in Italy). We enjoyed the pool and the olive oil tour/tasting on site. The restaurant food and service were wonderful- we ate there for many meals. Also, there was ample parking for all guests. Highly recommend!

United KingdomVery little could be better, A bottle opener in our kitchen was all that was missing.
The staff are superb, attentive and friendly. Breakfast at Masseria Valente is a joy, sitting in the walled garden terrace as the sun warms the orange trees with a great choice of home made savoury and sweet pastries, cold cuts and cheese, delicious bread, a choice of eggs and homemade orange and lemon jams with excellent coffee. The pool is superbly designed and laid out, offering lots of space, greenery, Olive and Figs trees all around and a gently slopping pool. We combine eating in Ostuni with lunches and evening meals in the Masseria. Superb staff and delicious, homemade food from scratch using all local ingredients.
