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 reviewLovely location, very close to the centre of Valetta but away from the noisy tourist spots. The room had a nice atmosphere and the bathroom was spacious and clean.
The bed was not very comfortable and had a really awful mattress protector that creased very easily. Communication was not the best. Small complaint but I tried to communicate through booking.com about a lack of coffee mug and they told me to get one from a kitchen on the second floor that was likely in the main hotel, not this building.
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the great location and atmosphere—we’re glad you enjoyed being close to the center of Valletta while still having a peaceful stay. We’re sorry to hear that the bed and mattress protector weren’t as comfortable as expected—we’ll definitely look into this to improve the experience for future guests. We also apologise for the confusion regarding the kitchen. Just to clarify: the shared kitchen is located in the same building, on level -1, as stated in the listing. We understand how important clear communication is and regret any inconvenience caused. Thank you again for your comments—they help us improve, and we hope to have the chance to host you again.

Verified reviewsimple, minimalist, clean, bright and airy
admittedly if you want an actual full 'hotel' experience, then maybe this property isn't for you. however if you're up and out at 9am, home late afternoon for a shower and a nap, then back out until 11pm, then this property is exactly the one for you
Thank you for your kind and honest review! You're absolutely right—this is not a full-service hotel but a collection of private rooms designed for independent, flexible stays. We're glad it suited your schedule and travel style, and we appreciate you highlighting the clean, bright, and minimalist setup. Hope to host you again!

Verified reviewA clean but very small room for one person with a decent sized bathroom.
I got here past midnight and had already notified the property and asked if I could contact someone incase of emergency or issues logging in - as there was a code for the main door entry and my room. I reached the main door and the keypad would not work. It was pitch dark and scary for a solo female traveler. 5 minutes later a kind guest from the 3rd floor balcony noticed me and then notified me that there was a power outage and that the keypad was not going to work till the morning. She also told me that the property manager was aware of this. I received no heads up about this and despite multiple calls, no one picked up or even followed up with me the next day. The kind hotel guest came down to open the door for me and with pure luck the keypad on my room door worked as it was not electronic but manual. Had this guest not showed me this kindness, I would have been forced to find another room at 1am. A true shame in customer service. Even if this issue had not transpired, charging this much for such a basic property is daylight robbery IMO and I would avoid the same.
Thank you for your feedback, and we're very sorry for the stress you experienced during your arrival. We’d like to clarify that our keypads are equipped with backup batteries and remain fully functional even in the event of a power outage. We’re sorry for the confusion and lack of support you received in the moment—this is certainly not the experience we want for any of our guests, and we are reviewing our communication procedures to ensure better responsiveness going forward.

Verified reviewa/c and wifi is working all the time and there was hot water during the day
On the contrary of the most comments, l cannot recommend the location as at late night, you are distracted with eyes. (donot go behind hsbc bank, if you are planning to stay in Valletta) In the facility, it is not possible to sleep because you hear every single step of the other tennats(I was staying on the top floor) even their pincode to open their doors and their door-talks. Some tenans I believe are familiar to each other and they were talking during late night, all talks are as if they are talking withi the room! In the room, there were ants walking throughout the floor, I put a note for the housekeeper to clean them but there was no housekeeper during the stay! Then why they ask for cleaning fee including the stay!! There were no hand towels, towels werenot replaced. In the balcony, there isnot any table or chair to sit and relax. There were dry cookies(I used them feeding the birds)in the room as a welcome guest but I wish they did a deep cleaning in the room, instead. I didnot eve stop by the kitchen, I believe it was much worse than the rooms. The facility asked for a checkout at 10.00am which is quite unusual, however they offer some guest a noontime checkout and when you ask to extend, they give okay as if they did a favour! Never recommend, please find a better place to stay.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Please note that we inform all guests about quiet hours, but ultimately it is up to individuals to be respectful of others—something we continuously encourage. The cleaning fee is a one-time charge, as is standard in most accommodations, and it covers the preparation and professional cleaning of the room prior to your arrival. Should you require additional cleaning during your stay, we are always happy to assist—just reach out to us. The traditional Maltese sweet you referred to is a honey ring, a local treat we offer as a complimentary welcome gesture to our guests. As for the checkout time, 10:00 AM is standard across Malta and is clearly stated in our booking policy before you confirm your reservation. Whenever possible, we’re happy to offer a later checkout as a courtesy. We will follow up internally on the points you raised and continue working to improve where needed. Thank you again for your comments

Verified reviewThe location was good. I could even see a bit of the sea from the balcony.
It was absolutely impossible to sleep in the room. There is a big power generator right behind the wall of that room. It is turned on for most of the night making terrible noise. What is more, the forced ventilation system in the bathroom is very noisy. You can hear the ventilation sound whenever someone turns on the light in the bathroom not only in this room but in the whole building! The door is not sound proof so whenever your neighbours come back to their room at night, be prepared to hear every word of what they say the moment they open the front door (and this room is on the last floor...). I chose this accommodation because there was a shared kitchen in the offer. There is only one kettle in the whole building, so if you want to have a hot drink, you need to go to the basement. Sadly, on my second day the sewer broke in the kitchen and the sewage (unbelievable stomack churning stench) started running on my feet. I reported it to the staff who called the maintenance services. The kitchen was "fixed" by cutting off the water. It was super smelly and not possible to use it again - very dirty. The maintenance staff has basically a different notion of what is "clean", especially in the kitchen.

Verified reviewLocation is excellent. Small local shops for groceries. Ok for an overnight stay. Balcony was nice.
Kitchen smells, bench tops were dirty with dishes left in the sink (by guests) for several days. I noticed on another guest's balcony a coffee cup from the kitchen being used as an ashtray. Bed was really uncomfortable. There's allot of noise from air-conditioning and people entering pin codes/doors closing at all hours The sink in my bathroom was blocked and the shower recess had a leak with water pooling into the bathroom floor. When I arrived there was only one towel, no hand/bath mats. I could hear the TV from the room across.

Location was great, room was very clean (they cleaned it every day and replaced towels and new shampoos) and it even smelled nice. Pictures of property don’t give it justice, it’s so much nicer:)

Verified reviewThe location was great, really close to a beautiful and quiet swimming spot and close but not too close to the busy part of town. Flat was clean and had a lovely view of the city and sea. And the air con was a godsend!
My towels were taken to be cleaned and I think forgotten to be replaced, and the door to my room was left open- however they were very communicative and brought new towels first thing in the morning.
