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 reviewWe had an amazing time staying in this apartment! The location on booking is wrong, the apartment is in the city center of Valletta but in a quiet neighborhood. You need 2min walk to the center. The best location in my opinion! The host was extremely kind and wonderful person who welcomed us really well and helped us with everything 🫶🏼 You have everything, hair dryer, washing machine, iron and ironing board, towels, kitchen is fully equipped, adapters,… Everything to feel like you are at home. We had a great time and we will return for sure👍🏼

Verified reviewGreat location, the hostess was super nice and accomodating, the place appartment was okay, liked the fact that amenities were available
Not the level of cleanliness i expected, the bathroom was dirty from the previous guests, the bathroom trash can wasn’t opening (the pedal didnt work so that was unfortunate), the owner was unnecessarily rude from the beggining, thankfully the hostess was wonderful and hospitable

Verified reviewThis apartment is located really centrally in Valetta, the street is calm and gives you a very local vibe, it's not just for tourists, also locals live there, which is very nice.
Unfortunately, the apartment wasn't really clean, the trash cans were full, the common kitchen was also not properly clean. The place is really loud, it is shared with other people and every move of another person you hear very loud, there is no sound proofing, so I barely slept. In the morning the neighbors get loud at 7AM and you hear them as if they are shouting inside the room.

Verified reviewThe hostess was polite and helpful. It had a spacious equipped kitchen. Some extra towels (even though i found them by accident in a closed closet) Good location next to the bus station for the ferries.
The location is wrong. I got a different location while booking the room, a different one via Booking messaging and a different one from the hostess. It's better to message the hostess on WhatsApp directly and get all your info. She should also put a key box outside, instead of making you wait for her. If you check in late you pay 10 euros which wouldn't be an issue with a key box. There was no toilet paper and no extra bags for the tiny trash can. No cleaning service or cleaning products. The shower curtain was too short so water was going everywhere. No towels in the kitchen. The wardrobes in the room smelled bad, probably from the old furniture or mold.

Verified reviewThe location is great: just a couple of blocks from the main street of Valletta. But do not believe the address on booking.com which is over 4km away!
The address shown on booking.com, in Msida, is over 4km away from the real location, which is in the middle of Valletta. The owner refused to refund my booking after being told that it was made under false pretences. One other niggle: the 1kW(!) kettle takes ages to boil even a cup of water.
I can't believe what you wrote... after all our welcoming... on what you complaini exactly?

Verified reviewIt is really in the middle of Valletta, but not in a street with many restaurants which makes it (at least the room to the back) very quiet. The host was very friendly and waited for me because my flight was late. Late check-in was possible for an extra 10€ which is fine since she only has these two private rooms and not a big hotel.
Furniture was not modern but I don’t mind

Verified reviewThe landlord is not very friendly and not helpful as she doesn't like to answer questions. The room is very noisy because it's by the street.

Verified reviewLocation was nice, bed was comfy. The apartment is modern, the kitchen was equipped enough for our needs.
We didn’t get ANY toilet paper during the 4 days we stayed. At night the apartment got cold, I was freezing under the blanket even though i wore sweatpants. The room window looks at the street which is noisy in the morning for light sleepers. I woke up several times, but my friend didn’t. Water pressure in the shower is a bit weak. There was a trashbag with dirt in the kitchen and a used towel in the wardrobe upon our arrival.
