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):
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.).

AustriaNothing! I have stayed in more luxurious places for sure but this simple, comfortable place would get my business again and again.
An outstanding value, nice room, everything is spotless, generous breakfast. Surrounded by trees. Parking space. Hosts are lovely! Less than 5 minute walk to center of Duino with cafe, gelato, and flower shop. I would stay here again. Highly recommend for visitors to UWC. 20 minutes to Trieste.

GermanyThe house is next to a lively street that gives some noise when you sit outside.
I had a pleasant stay at Stella Maris. The landlord provided everything you liked for breakfast. They had a nice place to sit outside or if necessary also inside. The way to the sea was about 10 minutes downhill. There is a restaurant close by that serves fish.

GermanyThe value for the given money quite low, given that Duino is small city where you cannot reach nice beaches by walk, people go there for hikes mostly.
It was clean, nice breakfast, host friendly and the rooms are as in the picture, very beautiful.

SloveniaWe were absolutely delighted to stay in this lovely and well taken care of B&B just couple of minutes walking distance from the Duino castle. The apartments, the outdoor patio and the beds are spacious and roomy. We especially loved how the owners took care of us, yet giving us space to relax and unwind. Loved those breakfasts and coffers. Would definitely recommend the place to future guests and hopefully we'll be back shortly.l>

North Macedonia1. Soft Pillows: The pillows provided in the rooms were too soft, which may not be comfortable for everyone. 2. Limited Evening Check-in Time: The check-in process in the evenings felt rushed due to the limited time available.
1. Location: Stela Maris offers a stunning seaside location in Duino, providing beautiful views and a serene atmosphere. 2. Breakfast: The breakfast spread at Stela Maris was impressive, featuring various delicious options to suit every taste. 3. Hospitality: The staff (Miki) at Stela Maris were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring a pleasant and personalized experience. Overall, Stela Maris in Duino offers a delightful stay with its fantastic location, delicious breakfast, and attentive hospitality. However, there is room for improvement with the pillows' softness and the evening check-in process.

IsraelI would recommend perhaps preparing a small work area for laptops for travelers who travel with a laptop. You can basically sit in the dining room, but it's not always comfortable because people can pass by, but it's not that bad.
The atmosphere at B&B Duino Stella Maris was outstanding. Miki was very welcoming and friendly and always showed a willingness to help with anything needed and the rest of the guest house staff were also very nice, I felt at home. I will highly recommend it to anyone I know who will be passing through the area. Grazie Mille!

I stayed with my girl for two nights in October and EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING! Miki is an amazing person, a 100% Italiano! As it was my girl's birthday, he had his daughter make her a cake, had a beautiful assorted bouquet of flowers in the room and a bottle of chilled Prosecco on ice on the terraza when we arrived! He even cut up some high quality fiambres/cold cuts from his personal family kitchen to give us with the prosecco! We would stay here again anytime.!! Grazie mille, Miki!!!

DenmarkThe bathroom is out of the room and you need to cross in front of other rooms to get to bathroom. It was a surprise that there weren’t any air conditioner in the room! And you cannot open the window because of mosquitoes. The water was leaking out of the bathtub. No fridge in the room, just a wine cooler that sounds very loud!
The host is very friendly. Breakfast was good.
