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 reviewThe 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.

Verified reviewThe place is far away from La Valletta so I suggest to rent a car, there are free parking places in front of the house. There is a fully equiped kitchen, it is very useful.

Verified reviewBeautiful 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.
Nothing comes to mind

Verified reviewThis 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.
Thank you so much for your honest review and for mentioning our property's environmental approach. It makes us proud to see that our efforts towards the environment are not going unnoticed! Hope to see you again in the future. Take care! A.

Verified reviewThe 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!
The wooden doors lock was not very easy to open/close

Verified reviewI 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. :)
Thank you very much for your kind words. Truly appreciate such a positive review! Hopefully we will meet again sometime soon!

Verified reviewThe location is very well connected by bus. There is a supermarket nearby. The accommodation itself is clean, comfortable and, above all, safe. Kudos to the host.
Noise can be heard from the nearby construction site.
Thank you for your kind review. Unfortunately, the whole country can be considered a construction site. But in all fairness, the property location happens to be in one of the least areas prone to construction. The main tourist areas are literally a constant construction site. We call these places Concrete Jungles!

Verified reviewAs 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.
Good evening and thank you very much for your review. We are very glad that you have enjoyed it! Regards, Arthur.

Verified reviewGood 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.
No 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.
First of all, thank you for all the positive comments in your review. With regards to the low water pressure, the day you checked out whilst cleaning the bathroom we did notice that the water pressure was way too low compared to the norm. Upon further investigation, we noticed that there was a valve that was partially restricted from lubricant that is used during installation. Got it cleaned out and reinstalled and now the pressure is back to normal.
