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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Nothing I didn’t like but as a heads up, there are a lot of (cute) cats on the property.
The Homestay is in a great location with shops, restaurants and most ports relatively nearby. The rooms are clean, comfortable and all facilities work. The breakfast is lovely and overall I had a great Homestay experience. What is exceptional is Aty, the owner. Aty has been, by far, the most helpful and precious person I’ve meant while traveling. She helped with all transports, future travels, accommodations, scooter and more. Truly a blessing.

The towels and bedsheets need to be of a better quality.
The deluxe room was large and spacious on the first floor of the Homestay along with a nice big bathroom and shower. The owner was very helpful and a pleasure to interact with. Overall for the money this is great value. There are a lot of cats who are quite friendly around the homestay. The neighbourhood is quiet and most restaurants etc. are a 15 minute walk away or a short grab ride away. You can also rent a scooter to explore the city.

If you don't like cats (or are allergic like me) - don't go there or request a room upstairs, down in the kichen or living room you will have cats... Aty get's you from the airport, but it's not for free (1.12.23 it was 100000)
got the bigger room upstairs (for extra 100000/night) with aircon and away from the cats Aty is very nice, full of information and even goes out with her guests for dinner to the markets or some warun...

Though I am a cat lover, the cat smell was a bit overwhelming sometimes. Aty & Mom love their cats very much so I think it is a challenge to change that ;-) I was completely comfortable with a bucket shower (have done that a lot in India too), but if you're a Western tourist coming directly from your county, it might be a bit too much of a sudden change. In that case, book a different room which has a shower. My room had a fan, but it was difficult to keep it cool and let air in/out because otherwise cats and mosquitoes would get in the room too!
This homestay thrives on Aty and her sweet mom. Aty is so helpful and has many contacts around the island. She provides a book with all the necessary details for some tourist activities. Aty invited me to a family lunch which was a very grateful experience for me. On top of that, she brought me to the airport early morning. She really wants to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible!

Nothing
The room is clean, functional and everything is made for travelers or backpackers. You also have access to the kitchen, the fridge, coffee, tea and drinking water. The breakfast is simple but very good. However the best about this place is the host, Aty, who is very nice, very helpful and knows what travelers are looking for. She speaks very good English and also work at the tourism office.

The budget room is really warm as others described - the fan helped a bit. :) the bathroom is also very budget ( no more shower as on the picture/ just bucket - depends on what you expect). The other rooms at the roof looked really nice and beautiful like on the pictures so, best decide what comfort you like to have. (but no hot shower ;)
The daughter of the homestay owner was very nice taking care of us with good information and answered all questions, thank you :) The breakfast was interesting and locally but nice. It's really a homestay as you are staying with the person living :) And some nice cats around - check if you are allergic :)
