Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

I was given a room adjacent to the stairs and some guests made A LOT of noise in the morning. Also the cleaning team passed the vacuum mid morning, which I would have avoided. I think it’s a bit pricey but clean and comfortable.
The hotel is in an excellent position to visit Trieste. It’s clean, very modern, with many comforts (toiletries, feee water…) Checkout at 12 is great for a lie in. Didn’t try breakfast so cannot comment.

The air conditioning is only switched on some time in May. We arrived towards the end of April. The weather was already nice and therefore the room was a bit stuffy. If you open the windows you get the noise from the street and the adjacent bar. Just something to note.
We had a wonderful pre-cruise stay at this hotel. Tommy was just a delight helping us out with everything at the breakfast buffet. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. They are all exceptional. The room was clean, nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who comes to Trieste and wants to have a comfortable and pleasant stay in this beautiful city.

My biggest peeve with most hotels, B&B's and rent-a-space is the lack of shelving in all the rooms, be it bedroom or bathroom. There's just no real estate to put personal hygiene and toiletries when traveling in two. It's a constant shuffle. Same with the shower area.
Close to the main tourist and pedestrian areas of the old centre. Surrounding area is a little on the "could use some modernization" but the Urban Design location itself is a great start. Not the most scenic of areas and limited parking options, other than public. There are options available at the front desk. We took advantage of the underground parking at the nearby San Giusto location for the over night stay. We were given a 15% discount coupon for the less than 24 hours period we used. You can drop off your luggage first then park. Be aware that UD is on a one way street so navigating to/from the hotel is an adventure in itself! Room was fine although it would have been nicer with an extra folding luggage table to accommodate more than one luggage rather than dropping them on the floor. AC was shut off, but this wasn't an issue since April was a bit cooler than usual. Beds and coverings were comfortable. For our one night of sleep we were satisfied. AMAZING BREAKFAST! Fit for a King and Queen. Lots of room in the two eating areas. There is a glass floor in the main area which spooked my spouse a little, and especially if you're queasy about the openness below your feet. I thought it was an added touch of adventure. Staff were great and super helpful. Front desk - optimal! Free umbrellas to use if inclement weather outside.

The property was not well marked on Google maps so it was a struggle to find initially. Actually it is just off the piazza unita d’italia, if the sea is at your back you turn right at the spar and first left.
The location was excellent and the staff were exceptional in their manners, courtesy helpfulness. Diego, Elena & Valentina at reception really were so polite and went out of their way to help me and make me enjoy my stay.They all spoke excellent English.
