Arc Raiders Fans Flood Italian Hotel’s Google Listing With 5-Star In‑Joke Reviews

The influx tied to a map sharing the hotel's name has lifted its visible rating to roughly 4.6 to 4.7.

Overview

  • Players are posting themed tales referencing spawns, the Seed Vault, Shredders, Night Raid, and “rats” after noticing Hotel Stella Montis shares a name with the game’s Stella Montis map.
  • The wave began about a month ago with a review by a user called Bad Wolf and was amplified by community trackers on X and the Arc Raiders subreddit.
  • Outlets report the hotel’s score rising from around 4.4 to the mid‑4.6 range as five‑star entries continue to appear, with a handful of joke complaints about pests or PvP griefing.
  • Similar posts have appeared on TripAdvisor, extending the prank beyond Google’s listing.
  • The hotel has not commented publicly, and reporters note Google’s review‑reporting tools can be slow, prompting concerns that the jokes could mislead real customers.
