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 reviewThis is an excellent, compact hotel close to the centre of Trieste. It is about a 20 minute walk from the railway station. The hotel is on a hill and the hotel's page on booking.com does warn that the property is accessed via 57 steps. The steps can be avoided on foot with a hilly detour or by taking a bus or a taxi. The hotel has an unusual layout that reflects the clever conversion of the original building on a sloping site. My ensuite room was excellently furnished, well equipped and surprisingly spacious. The staff were very helpful.

I hadn't realised the number of steps from the car park to the hotel. Quite a challenge with our suitcases. But we survived.

Verified reviewGreat value for money, location, helpful staff, fast to respond and help with any questions I might have. Important to note you can only check in before 19, but it wasn't an issue in our case
Dear Kalina, many thanks for your review! We’re really glad to hear you appreciated the great value for money, our convenient location, and the helpfulness of our staff. We always strive to offer a warm welcome and quick support for any questions or needs. Just a small note: we are a small hotel with limited front desk hours, and due to local laws, we are required to check in guests in person for identification purposes. Unfortunately, this means we are not allowed to offer self or remote check-in options. We understand this may be inconvenient for some, but we do our best to manage everything as smoothly as possible within these legal constraints. We’re happy that in your case the check-in time wasn’t an issue, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Kind regards, Giulia

Verified reviewGreat location in the heart of the old city. Roman ruins literally on the doorstep and restaurants and bars just steps away. Despite this we didn’t find it noisy at night, it’s a residential area so not just tourists which is great. Hotel is clean, staff are polite if distant (which was fine for us). Room was a superior double, a good size, comfy bed and good decor. No kettle but there was an espresso machine. We had a balcony overlooking the Roman arch, but no balcony furniture, disappointingly! Otherwise would have been a 9. But a lovely stay nonetheless- Trieste is a laid back city, beautiful architecture, amazing sunsets, and a really interesting history. Don’t miss Miramare gardens!
Lack of kettle and balcony furniture but we coped!
Dear Sara, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience in such detail! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, the quiet atmosphere of the area, and the comfort of your room. We’re sorry about the missing kettle — we actually have several available and would have been happy to provide one upon request. Please don’t hesitate to ask next time! As for the lack of balcony furniture, thank you for the helpful suggestion — we will definitely take it into consideration to further improve our guests’ experience. We’re also sorry to hear that our staff came across as a bit distant. We truly care about being attentive and available to all our guests, and we’re always here to help with anything you may need. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Trieste in the future! Kind regards, Giulia

Verified reviewroom and bathroom were big and clean, there was a couch in our room... really close to the center, nice and quiet area... no problem storing our bikes, helpful and nice staff
only staff had access to our bikes during reception opening hours - almost whole day, but we need to plan our trip to be there on the time... there is no stand for bikes so we had to lean our bikes to some other bikes and block them from being taken out. we think it is not so happy solution because the hotel has pretty big space to park the bicycles but you can only use so little space when you have no bicycle stand (lean your bikes to the wall), or in other case- you need to block other bicycles

Verified reviewReally good location, quite easily accessible. Around the hotel are some good bars and shops, it can get loud but sound isolation is very good, so no problem sleeping. Good value for money.
This is not negative, but if you are arriving with car you have to plan to leave the luggage first (if you are carrying big or a lot of).

Verified reviewA pleasant hotel, in a communicative location in the heart of Trieste.
The price per night was high for the amenities the rooms offered. I assume it was inflated because there was an event in town on the day of our stay and there was increased demand for accommodations.

bed was very uncomfortable
Dear Emma, we are sorry to read in your review that your stay was not pleasant due to the firmness of the bed. Unfortunately, you did not inform us about the issue during your stay, so we were not able to try and find a solution, such as offering you a different room. Our staff is always available to ensure our guests have the most enjoyable experience possible, but in this case, we were not given the opportunity to do so. Kind regards, Walter – Hotel all’Arco Staff

Inside the room the mattress was not so confortable because it was actually made with two matresses jointed with a double bedspread

Verified reviewEverything exceeded expectations: great position, spotless clean, great comfort despite the historical building (win win). The only reason I can imagine for it having only one star in the Italian hotel ranking system is accessibility, which is indeed limited due to city structure.
The structure may be difficult to access, especially for people with motor difficulties
