Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

Literally in the town centre and very close to the San Giusto park house. We were given a 15 % off voucher for parking there by the Barbacan Hotel. Which was a nice touch!

United StatesWe wanted a room right in the middle of where everyone meets, not down in the tourist section. This place was great. The community lights up in the evening, and stays alive until early in the morning. Plus, a quick walk down the romantic side road and we were RIGHT in the middle of the square where all the major shops were and the ocean right across the street (less than a 3-4 min walk). The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was "over the top" helpful: • showed up early to take our luggage so we could enjoy the day in Trieste before check in time, (simply email them ahead of time). • helped with the luggage up the stairs (note: 3 flights of narrow stairs - so caution if you're not in shape...ask for a lower room). • PLUS fixing a slight glitch in the hot water heater within 5 minutes of notice. TRULY amazing kindness and helpfulness.

HungaryThe memory foam pillow and mat are not comfortable during summer. It embedded our body so we sweated more. The A/C was working but didn’t really work effectively. We missed a desk to put a laptop on.
The location is good, although we had to walk uphill about 5 minutes from the parking lot. The gentleman at the front desk was kind an polite.

CroatiaCheck in is from 2 pm and we had to wait half an hour for the room to be completely cleaned and the floors to be mopped. We didn't have a problem waiting, but when we got to the room the floors were very dirty both in the room and in the bathroom. In principle, this is not a hotel, but an apartment. The reception is a street away, which is open when you announce yourself and then you go a street further into a building where there are two floors without an elevator and narrow long stairs. As it is not a typical hotel, you do not have slippers in the room and the floor was terribly dirty, which made us very dissatisfied. There was also dust on the bedside table. You don't have any personal hygiene needs except for soap for showering and towels. Forget about ear buds and shower caps, slippers, etc. It says there is coffee, but there is only a kettle and cups without spoons .There are no glasses for water. The room door can be locked but does not touch the wall all the way, it cannot be closed all the way so you can hear everything from the hallway and additionally the cold gets inside. We tried to turn on the heating, but it didn't work in the room or the bathroom, only the air conditioning with heating worked, but it was quite cold. Since it is close to the center and the surrounding restaurants and cafes, it gets quite loud and lively on the weekends, so if you've come to rest, don't count on a good night's sleep.
The hotel is close to the center. The bed was ok, for one night.

SloveniaIt's not a hotel, only letting rooms. Our room was in a tiny alleyway full of graffiti and litter. The air conditioning was barely working. What should have been a fridge was a wine cooler which didn't go below 18 degrees C. The furniture looked like it was from a second hand junk shop. The hotel left a review of 10 in my name before we even got home.
The bed was very comfortable.
