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 reviewGreat position in the super-quiet neighborood of Senglea. Plenty of services in the facility, like the amazing terrace with outstanding panorama, overall cleanliness and common laundry (washing room and drying space). Air conditioning, which is mandatory in Malta's summer, was really powerful. Bathroom was functional and very well-equipped, kitchen also very good. Smooth late check-in.
A curtain partially blocked window opening. The neighborood has no supermarkets, the only options available are small convenience shops, which are a bit expensive. I'd suggest the supply of a portable induction plate to make the kitchen complete and allow cooking.

Verified reviewWe spent 7 nights at Dghajsa Guest House and it was the best choice we could’ve made. Harold, the owner is such a communicative and kind person, who helped us with everything. The property was very clean and the room was big enough for two persons. The terrace really stole the show, the view was unexpectedly beautiful. The neighbourhood is really safe and quiet, has a lot of really nice restaurants nearby, the bus station is 1 minute away (across the street from a really nice church) and it goes straight to Valletta. We were so glad we chose to stay here, and will recommend it for sure to other people.

Nothing of note

Verified reviewThis apartment has got everything you need for a perfect stay in Senglea. It is perfectly clean, cozy, on the great location - near Senglea main attractions and also restaurants and point where ferry leaves for Valetta. On the roof, there is a beautiful terrace where the view is amazing, with facilities to enjoy it (just bring your coffee and enjoy :) Host of the apartment is, we can say, the best host we had ever! Always there to answer, to help, to get everything you need.

Verified reviewExactly like the pictures, good size, great location, wonderful shower pressure, very good and easy contact with owner. Bottle of water and tea and coffee provided: very nice touch. Great value for money.
The mattress wasn’t very comfortable, very soft, but may be more of a personal preference.

Verified reviewLocation, was very good, close to the ferry, step away from harbor
We stayed there for 5 nights. Lots of stairs, from outside and inside. Luckily we stayed on the first floor. From the entrance door to our studio apartment were 9 steps up. No elevator, so somebody who stayed on the 4th floor had to carry the luggage up the stairs. The apartment we stayed in provided the bare minimum, small. It was hard to move for two people and there was barely room for luggage. The bathroom was a joke, so small that it doesn't even have a room for the small sink. Because of the size of the room, the toilet was installed at the angle to allow the user to enter the shower stall. That's why the very small bathroom sink was installed next to the kitchenette sink. There is only the microwave and electric kettle, not even the toaster. The studio apartment was a big disappointment.
I'm surprised, what this particular client said, first it advertised as a room with extra facilities, it can't be an apartment with 1 room, the room is standard, what we did, is to include more facilities, toaster there was in the cabinet, fridge, table and chairs, microwave, plates, cups, TV, sink, iron, wardrob, air-conditioning, towels etc,maybe that's why the room became small. The building is in the old town, stairs are everywhere, even if we had the facilities to install a lift, still will have a problem with the outside town stairs, olso the photos on the website, clearly explain that there is stairs, nobody complained, the rewiew score speak to itself, 9.1 out of 160 reviews ( olso we had to make a new sink, since this client decided to break it) Thanks

Verified reviewThe studio is very confy, it is spacious and well equipped; the surroundings are wonderful, there are 2 bus stops and a ferry nearby. Lots of restaurants, too. I loved Mykonos, a greek restaurant next to the ferry. There is a mall in 15 min buss distance. Also, the terrace that is on the roof of the building is great and has an amazing view. The owner is very friendly and helpful.
I cannot think of anything relevant.

Verified reviewThe size of the room was perfect for 2 people staying 4 nights.
We had a problem because of the heat wave in Malta…2 cockroaches sneaked into the air conditioning system and caused us some problem. The owner of the guest house was very nice and helped us with this problem, giving us another accomodation nearby so it was ok in the end.
