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 review* great location (like 30m from the bus stop and 60m from the public beach) * blackout curtains (you can sleep whenever you like) * friendly and helpful staff * big and comfortable room * Breakfast is good and tasty, you can order good coffee with it.
The hotel is just above the street, so it can be a little noisy in the evening.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel was really good. We had the ocean right in front of the hotel and a few stores which are open until 23:00 every day. There were also a lot of restaurants nearby.
The staff of the hotel were extremely rude. They didn’t welcome us at all and never acknowledged us when we tried to talk to them or entered/left the hotel. After looking for the blow dryer for a bit, the receptionist told us after paying a fee of 10€ we will get a blow dryer (the 10€ were returned at the end of our stay). Furthermore we had to pay a deposit of 100€, which they didn’t tell us before we booked the room - they told us when we arrived at the hotel. On the end of our stay the hotel returned the 100€ after checking our room for any damages. The only friendly staff were the cleaning staff! Our room were cleaned daily but not precisely enough, there was always something that was still dirty! The breakfast room was way too small for every hotel guest. One day we had to wait to enter the breakfast room because they didn’t have any space left. Every staff was stressed and couldn’t handle the situation.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel was really good. We had ocean right in front of us. There were a few shops and restaurantes near the hotel.
The staff of the hotel were extremely rude. They didn’t welcome us at all. Most of them were on their private phone and didn’t look at us when we were talking to them. We also had to pay a deposit of 100€ which it didnt say at the booking website. The place for the breakfast was extremely small and couldn’t even fit 100 people. After 9 a.m you couldn‘t get seats and the staff didn’t let you in the room. Also my friends had a way bigger room than ours but paid the same amount of money for their room. Their balcony had a sea view and ours didn’t. This was not mentioned anywhere!

Verified reviewNice 3 star hotel, new and clean, close to the port and airport. Balcony with a view, friendly helpful staff, tasty breakfast.
The hotel is located far from the main attractions and the island’s active life. The area around is very quiet, with almost nothing nearby — just elderly neighbors playing cards. Convenient for a short overnight stay near the airport, but not suitable for a holiday or exploring Malta.

Verified reviewGreat breakfast ! Lots to choose from. Friendly staff working at breakfast in the morning. Awesome air-con as it's needed in the summer months. Room cleaned daily, towels replaced daily. Kettle with coffee, tea and milk in the room. Also mini-fridge was a welcome addition.
My room's fire alarm went off early morning for no reason but only happened once.

Verified reviewExcellent room, nice sea view on balcony, shower was great!
Bed was rock hard, very uncomfortable, fire alarm going off at 2 in the morning, then it went off in the morning and they thought we’d been smoking in the room!

Verified review• The location is very quiet and rural compared to Valletta, Sliema or St. Jualin’s. • The breakfast is delicious. • The rooms are very new, modern and clean. (Except for the used q-tip we found under our sheets in the bed). • The staff is kind, helpful and friendly. • There are multiple restaurants next to the hotel as well as a Starbucks.
• The beach next to the hotel is being shared with a harbor, so the water isn’t as clean as it is in other places throughout Malta. • We had difficulties with our stay the first night, as the hotel announced that our room is not available for the night that we had already reserved and paid for a month ago… We had to spend our first night in a different hotel that wasn’t half as clean and comfortable as CA Sand Dune. Additionally, as we arrived to our temporary hotel at around 3AM, we were informed that we had to pay additional charge for the night we were about to spend there (100€ per person = 200€ total), when we had already paid 1000€+ for the CA Sand Dune hotel… This issue was resolved in the morning, however it was very unpleasant to have to deal with it in the middle of the night and after a long flight. Additionally, CA Sand Dune hotel offered to pay for our taxi to their hotel the next morning, however the taxi got called unexpectedly and we had to rush our leave as well as pay for the taxi ourselves at first, which got resolved later on at the reception. • At 2AM a smoke alarm went off at the hotel, because someone had been smoking in the room…

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our stay very much. Staff (literally everyone) were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is new which you can see immediately. We had partial sea view, but I’d recommend taking sea-view room, as it is even better (balcony and bathroom). It is very close to the beach which is gr8 4 swim.
