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.).

MaltaThe house was dirty (e.g foot prints on the couch, dust on the bedsheets), the duvets didnt have any duvet covers so it makes you wonder if they are washed, the frying pan was way too overused. Didnt have any dish cloths to wipe the plates. In general, the house was run down and needs an upgrade
Easy parking. House is well organised and spacious

MaltaUnfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. Upon arrival, we found the key had been left in the door, posing a serious security concern—anyone could have accessed the property before we arrived. The house is advertised to accommodate eight people, yet the outdoor area was poorly equipped: only three sunbeds were available, two of which were broken, along with a single white chair and an old brown table—nothing like the photos shown online. the kitchen is not equipped for 8 people either not enough mugs and plates do not even match. It’s important to note that the A/C system operates with coins. This was not communicated in advance, and with all nearby shops closed at check-in time, we were left without a way to use the air conditioning because we had no coins unless we drove to the town centre. Several appliances were either faulty or in poor condition. The TV still has two black lines running across the screen, making it difficult to watch—something mentioned in a review from 2022, so it clearly hasn’t been addressed. The toaster didn’t work, the oven knobs had no markings, and there were no pans available—we had to cook breakfast using a wok. Comfort was also lacking. The beds and the sofa were very uncomfortable. Basic essentials were missing too—there was not even a bin liner or dishcloth provided in the kitchen. It’s unreasonable to expect guests, especially international travellers, to bring such items. Before booking this farmhouse, I recommend checking if a local village feast is taking place during your stay. Unfortunately, we were unable to relax due to continuous church bell ringing and loud feast music being played from a nearby house throughout the afternoon and morning. It significantly affected the peaceful atmosphere we were expecting. Overall, the property was disappointing, and I hope the host takes these points seriously to improve the experience for future guests.
unfortunately we did not find anything to our liking

United KingdomWhile the interior had a rustic charm, it was tired. Cushions threadbare, sofa had damage marks and dusty floors. You had to put money in meter for aircon, and this was not mentioned in property description.€1 or €2 at a time gave same amount of time of aircon, just under 3 hours and it did not matter how many units you had on. No welcome note or local info or guides, key left in door on arrival and departure Kitchen under equipped, we had to buy a chopping board and the crockery was small with small glasses and no wine glasses or bottle opener, and were not clean on our arrival. No tea towel, bin bags or dishwasher tablets provided The pool side loungers were mostly broken so only one was usable. The top bedroom was like a sauna with only organza window covers so never cooled off. Bedroom 1 suggest put towel up in bathroom window to keep room cooler. Bedroom 2 suggest put something up in windows to keep cooler.
The private courtyard and pool were the star of this property, quiet location and a short walk to great restaurants. Pool gets early morning and lunchtime sun and by 4pm courtyard is in shade. Pool was perfect swim temp. Waking up to the sound of peacocks from a nearby property.

MaltaThe property was in poor condition and did not offer good value for money. The bed sheets were old, dirty, and stained with blood, and white stains . The 2 out of 3 deck chairs were broken, and there were mouse droppings in the kitchen, along with a live mouse spotted under the sink. Basic kitchen essentials were lacking—no kitchen towels and only one old, broken chopping board. Mould present in upstairs bathroom.Additionally, there was constant noise from a nearby construction site. Overall, the property is in need of a thorough cleaning and restoration.

MaltaThe twin bed mattresses are old and cheap. The comforters had no covers on them. Somehow that felt unhygienic because we could not be sure those had been washed. It would be good if they had freshly washed covers.
The house is incredible. Truly!
