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.).

Beautiful house; our room was beautiful and spacious with an airy balcony. We arrived late and as such didn't meet our host in person until the last day, but he was extremely helpful and communicative over WhatsApp throughout, accommodating with our late check in and answering all of our questions. (And when we did meet him in person on the final day he was lovely! Thank you for everything!) The house rules were clear and reasonable and the amenities everything we could need. I would absolutely recommend a stay here, and would happily visit again.

United KingdomThis is a safe, traditional, very well-constructed property. The location, whether driving or by public transport, is excellent. Well-stocked supermarket done the road, bus stops everywhere. An excellent informative guide was produced by our host, with excellent tips for a newbie or experienced traveller to Malta alike. House rules are comprehensive and fair: Malta, with finite water supplies and resources, has a real focus on renewables and minimising waste and the house rules reflect this important approach. All in all, I cannot fault the place and ethos and it’s a credit to our host, and Malta.

The Apartment is clean, the instructions about how to use everything are displayed everywhere. Arthur, the host was helpful from every beginning. Location is good as I needed to take only one bus from the airport to reach the St Elena Villa. From different 2 bus stops which are few minutes away by foot - commuting is easy to anywhere on the island. I would definitely recommend this place!

ItalyI stayed in Villa St Elena for twelve days for business purpose (I am a teacher). My experience was very positive because I literally felt at home. Arthur is a great host, always kind and helpful in case of urgent requests. The apartment is quiet, clean, luminous and spacious and Is three minutes away from Zernieq bus stop. The kitchen is welcoming and well equipped. The room Is comfortable and has a balcony. I also had the chance of meeting some nice roomates from Europe. I strongly recommend a stay in Villa St Elena. :)

PolandAs my son and I were focused on intensive sightseeing, we chose this place as the most optimal when it comes to easy access by public transport to even the most distant edges of the island. And it was a bull's-eye! The proximity of bus stops made it very easy for us to reach the biggest attractions. And the place of rest for the night turned out to be quiet and very clean. With a kitchen equipped with all necessary appliances. The open view of La Valletta from the window, especially the sunrises, was also important, something that only few buildings in this area offer.

LithuaniaNo water pressure in the shower, it's difficult to wash long hair or clothes after a swim. Host claims it's a countrywide issue, so just keep that in mind. Host also lives right next door to you. He is extremely quiet and unnoticeable. AC at additional cost, although it is not expensive - host claims 5€ is enough for 5 day stay. Cannot confirm as we did not purchase.
Good location, close to bus stops, 20 min ride away from Valletta, supermarket 3 mins away. Extremely clean. Well stocked kitchen. Toiletries provided in form of soap in a dispenser. There is an iron, a hairdryer and a fan free to use. Area felt safe. All in all pretty good.

United StatesWell, this isn't on the air bnb. I was supposed to arrive with a friend but he couldnt make it. This place is great if you go with friends or family because its very quiet and it doesnt have like a " hostel " vibe common area where to hang out and plan things with other travelers. Another thing I would suggest is to replace the bath towels because they were a bit rough. And another thing I didnt like , and thats because its not in the center, there are not really any cute restaurants or coffee spots near by. I still think the cost in comparison was fair.
I really liked that it had a full kitchen. I was able to make a few proper meals. Of course its nice to try the local cusine but sometimes its nice to cook a meal. There is a grocery store around the corner. I loved the spacious room and I really did have nice restful nights.

MexicoThe beds were hard and uncomfortable. The host was extremely stingy and charged extra for some things, for example, using the air conditioning required an additional fee, despite the extreme heat. There were signs everywhere listing numerous rules for the property. We were not provided with some things I consider essential such as shampoo, even after specifically requesting it. Additionally, the host did not allow us to leave our luggage after check-out to pick it up later. Overall, I do not recommend this place. In every other accommodation I’ve stayed at, shampoo was provided, and leaving luggage after check-out was never an issue.
