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.).

United KingdomNew pool umbrella was still awaited. The floor is too flat in the small en-suite bathroom off the double bedroom and floods if not careful when showering.
Very spacious accommodation, and in a quiet location. Great private pool. AC and fans available. In walking distance to/from the bars and restaurants in the square. Oh, and a very helpful host too!

MaltaThere was nothing we didn’t like. It was a fantastic stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! The place was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the facilities you could need for a relaxing getaway. The host was fantastic — very friendly, welcoming, and communicated clearly throughout the booking and stay. It made everything so easy and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in a well-kept and fully equipped place!

Loved the house. It was a real home, full of character. Personal and quirky touches throughout. All the magnificent paintings are painted by the owner’s mom. My husband loved the sound system. Everything great - in fact I think I could live there!! Owner so helpful throughout. Thank you for our stay 🙏

United KingdomNothing, a perfect holiday retreat.
What an amazing place. From the information received prior to arrival, to the property itself. The place is immaculate, with a well stocked kitchen and amazing outdoor spaces. Bedrooms are comfy, all with an en-suite and a/c. The town is lovely with some great restaurants to visit. I could not recommend this place highly enough.

AustraliaMy sisters and I had a beautiful stay at Carpe Diem, and we were sad to be leaving. The house was ample in size but still felt homely. The pool was crystal clear and a welcome relief from the heat. The location was perfect, just a short, easy walk to the square. Any questions asked were answered promptly by the owner. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

The farmhouse was larger than expected, spotlessly clean and the pool area was amazing with gas barbecue too. Loved the patio upstairs. We stayed in the top bedroom and loved the stone spiral staircase to the top. Excellent location, loved it all and would definitely recommend and stay again.

AustraliaWe needed to chase up access information to the property, we didn’t to receive anything prior to our arrival. We were at the house waiting for details and messaging the owner… this was a bit stressful for our group. We were then sent details for access and instructions re operating things in the house, after chasing. The showers have no screens/curtains so when you shower the whole bathroom gets wet. The smallest bathroom floods under the door in to the bedroom due to this issue, but we managed to sort this out with a towel under the door - not too bad, just FYI.
Spacious accomodation with lovely pool area. Great kitchen with all the things needed to prepare meals. Living and bedrooms set over 3 floors, lovely stone walls. Top floor bedroom accessed by tight spiral staircase, so a bit restricted for elderly or less mobile guests but the other 2 rooms are good on the first floor.

It is very clean, and you will find there all what you need to spent great holidays. Place to rest for some days and in convenient place ,close to all local amenities. We were sleeping on the bedroom of top, master bedroom, it is lovely, like sleeping in a castle. All bedrooms have their own bathroom, wifi, and AC. House is fully equiped. You will enjoy for sure your stay there, it is really really an awesome house. Owner is very friendly and answering all questions you have. I highly recommend carpe diem. If I am coming back to Gozo, will go there for sure.

MaltaThe check in and check out times were not as promised on the listing- noon. We ended up coming at 4pm (even though we were told we could come a bit before to use the pool) and leaving by 10am instead of noon.
The lady who cleans the property does an exceptional job. It is probably one of the cleanest farmhouses I have visited. She is also very pleasant to speak to.

United KingdomNothing!
The property was a classic Maltese town house, very spacious, clean and better than advertised. The basic cooking staples were provided, which was really helpful, water and milk in the fridge and soaps in the bathrooms. Loved the paintings. V homely. Large sun terrace. Gas BBQ and a massive oven which was great for our large family, and plenty of comfortable seating inside and out. A large DVD collection and a full bookcase. 10 min walk to a square where there are great restaurants and a cafe(we tried them all!) As well as an ATM and a pharmacist. Lidl a 10 min drive away, beaches no longer than 20mins away. We had a lovely family holiday.

Malta- The shower in the bathrooms falls directly into the floor, and the drain does not work very fast so its easy to flood the whole bathroom in a matter of minutes - Ants all over the place (inside the house). More frequent pest control is needed. - Sink was not working (clogged) and couldn't get it fixed for our stay, although it was a short one. Even if it was working, the material provided for cleaning the dishes was minimal (no sponge and very little detergent). - Very high deposit for a 2 night stay (even this is mentioned in the T&C, it's still surprising being asked to send it before even seeing the property). - No mosquito net, so you either leave the AC on all the time (which is controlled by a paid meter, so assuming that if you consume all the money you will be asked to pay extra), or you let the mosquitos invade the house. We did the later, and paid the consequences later that night, as we were bitten by tens of mosquitos that entered the property during the day. - Pool is very deep and there's a very limited space for little kids, as it becomes deep too fast.
The location and the house are perfect. 3 big bedrooms, a huge living area, a very nice back patio with a big pool, and lovely terrace to play some ping pong or have some drinkgs. It's a very big property, 10 minutes away from the biggest sand beach in gozo (Rambla). The views from around the corner are also stunning.

United KingdomThere is a log burger/fire in the living room and it made our clothes smell of smoke as the sofas smelt of smoke (we didn’t use it) The beds and pillows were also quite uncomfortable unfortunately so we didn’t have the best sleep there. It’s not very toddler or baby safe as there are lots of very steep concrete steps. We ended up not using the main room at the top as the stairs were too narrow and steep for our toddler. The other rooms were better.
Very large house with lots of space Outside terrace and pool area would be lovely in the summer but was too cold to use in Spring Full kitchen and lots of facilities Good distance to some brilliant restaurants Would be good for families with older children (not toddlers)
