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.).

North MacedoniaThe apartment is in a beautiful, historic neighborhood with classic Maltese architecture. It had everything we needed for our three-night stay and was super clean. The staff were very helpful and responsive. They let us check in early and gave us options for dropping off our bags after checkout. The pdf guide they shared was super useful and covered everything we needed to know. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place to others.

SerbiaOne thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is located across from a church, so bells might wake you up in the morning. But we didn't mind them, and actually found them pleasant. I guess some people might have an issue with that, so keep in mind.
We really loved everything! Birgu is a beautiful city, very well connected to other places. The apartment was very nice, and had everything we needed. A gorgeous view from the balcony was just a cherry on top. Also, the staff was so nice and helpful. I would love to return one day.

United KingdomThe location was great - quiet street in Birgu which was a few minutes from the ferry services to Valetta. The balcony in our room made it all feel very local; it was wonderful to observe the procession outside the church on Sunday. The host was super accommodating with an early check in and leaving our luggage after we checked out, as well as responding quickly to any of our questions. Highly recommend if you want to stay nearby Valetta but get a slightly quieter and local environment.

HungaryThe main negative aspect for us was the noise. The soundproofing was not good, that means that we could hear the steps of the neigbours above us. The church across the street rang every morning at 8:00 am, which was not that bad. Sadly above us was a family with a child, and the child was crying for like a 30 minutes every morning. (After the bell rang.) You should be prepared, that the sleep schedule is from 22:00 till 8:00. Besides this everything was really amazing, i can really recommend the place.
The location is beautiful and calm, if you wake up before 8 am. The staff is really nice and they bring every workday new towels. The room is quite small with its 20-25m², but it was okay. You dont have to hold on to your key, becouse they send you an email which contain a code, which could be used to open the main entrance and your room. The kitchen doesnt contain an oven, neither a microwave, but it contains the necessary tools for a 2-4 person meal. The public transport is quite good over there, but you always have to go to Valetta to transfer to other buses. On the main square there is an amazing backery which name is Champ Pastizzeria, for breakfast there are a lot of amazing and cheap food.
