How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery smart and expensive looking hotel. Very good food and facilities and very well maintained. Staff very helpful and friendly. Great location for nearby restaurants and ferry to Valletta.
Bed was a bit hard for me but that’s just personal preference.

Verified reviewThe room was fantastic. Good location
"The room smelled very stale. There was a leak in the laundry, and water was dripping from the ceiling. That’s likely why, when we first entered the unit, it smelled like old, stagnant water

Verified reviewThe staff at reception were great. The hotel app is easy to use and it's convenient not to worry about keys. The beach club exceeded expectations, we were always able to find a spot even though it was high season and the pool was great with sea access. The location is perfect for Malta. The room was quiet at night and the bed was comfortable.
The room was quite basic for the price, although there's nothing particularly wrong with it. Beach club drinks and food are a bit overpriced.

Verified reviewRoom was good but slightly small; spa was nice but some jet sprays for the jacuzzi did not work. location was good but could have done with a concierge. staff were nice. Gym was decent Beach club was good but some staff were abrupt. also a bit inconvenient to walk to the club from the hotel.
I was told that that if I was able to get a paid upgrade to a superior room that someone would contact me either way, but was never contacted. The rooms were not cleaned in a timely manner, had to wait several hours before they were cleaned. Water could have been complimentary every day in the heat. Was not told how much the breakfast would be if I wanted it. The ''app'' was inconvenient to use and would have been better to leave information in the room or tv screen. bar closed too early so if you wanted a late drink and sit and chat with other hotel guests it was difficult.

Verified reviewBeach club was really lovely, great selection of food and drink. Had 3 treatments at the spa and loved all of them. Breakfast had lots of choice and high quality food. All staff we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible

Verified reviewFantastic location for easy access to port and nearby beach area on other side. The beach was a lovely way to spend a few hours. Lots of good restaurants nearby and good proximity to a spar supermarket. The hotel was great for a short break.
Lack of wardrobe meant we had to live out of our suitcases which was a bit messy.

Verified reviewBreakfast - Plenty of choice, good quality. Good Location. Excellent Beach Club and Roof Top pool. Room was good but see comment below. Staff were really nice and helpful.
We had a problem with the toilet not flushing. Reported it at 10.00am , returned at 6.0pm nothing had been done - two more visits to reception to get it sorted. No drawers or suitable storage for clothes - one hanging rail and open ledges some of which were too high to reach. One unfortunate incident at the beach club pool with poo in the pool. The staff at the beach club hadn't a clue how to deal with it properly - they simply removed it and allowed people to continue using it. It took a message to the reception staff (about 200 metres from the pool who came down , got everybody out of the pool, closed it , emptied the pool and cleaned it overnight. In the week before we arrived we received emails offering an upgrade to our rooms (we had 5 people/3 rooms) at 10 euros each per night. On arrival we were told we had been upgraded (all 3 rooms) at no extra charge !

Verified reviewAbsolutely stunning pool, a wonderful place to relax for a few hours if you can get a spot (it fills up pretty quickly). Great base for exploring Valletta and the rest of the island, and easy to reach the coast for a walk or a swim.
No view from the hotel window, it's very boxed in - if you want to see the sea from your bed this isn't the place.

Verified reviewLovely bar, restaurant, breakfast, room.
There was construction going on outside constantly. We booked a room with a balcony which was unusable due to the noise and people doing work on lorries right outside. I completely understand these things happen, but I would expect a 4 star hotel to move us to a quieter room.

Verified reviewThe welcome when we arrived from the staff and the beach club and the spa facilities are great. It is a very modern hotel.
We upgraded our room to a bigger one but it was tiny. You couldn't comfortably use the bathroom and I am not a big person. There is a roof top pool area that we tried to book in advance of our stay but we were told we were not able to. We tried booking this facility when we arrived but it was already completely full.

Verified reviewThe facilities were amazing, staff were very friendly and welcoming, the spa was a great way to finish our holiday and even though we had checked out, we were provided with robes and allowed to leave our bags with reception as an option. The rooms were completely silent at night with no disturbance, it was clear there was very good insulation between the walls minimising sound from neighbouring rooms. The sliding door to the balcony was a nice addition to the room, aswell as the safe to keep valuables and the convenient clothes racks which helped to organise our clothes easily. Overall an amazing experience and we would return again.
We requested the room to be made up, the room unfortunately was not made up until 4pm when we had returned from our day out and were getting ready to go out. The rose cutouts from the romantic setup we requested upon arrival were still around the floor after 2 days of cleaning from staff. The towels provided were not the cleanest on our first night we had the romantic setup, the towels which were made into swans had grubby spots on them in small places all over. Black mould was also on the mastic of the shower, and in the corners of the shower tray. The shower also did not drain too well which caused a pool of water around the feet in the shower. The rooms are nice but not 100% clean, but the experience at the hotel is one of the best we have experienced together, but the cleanliness could definitely improve.
