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 reviewThe room is super equipped in my opinion, even for a longer stay of a week. In the room we had a welcome wine from them which is totally free, coffee, milk, sugar and tea. The room is spacious with a comfortable and large bed. We always had hot water for bathing along with shampoo, shower gels, towels 2 for the face and 2 for the body and soap. I can't say anything about the breakfast because we didn't try it at all because we slept in until later. The location is great, right across the street there is a tobacco shop, where you can even buy ready-made food. The accommodation is in the very center and easy to find.
We have no complaints, everything was great.

Verified reviewI wholeheartedly recommend this place. Great location, friendly service, and delicious bread for breakfast. The selection isn't as extensive as in a five-star hotel, but everyone found something they liked and didn't leave hungry. The rooms were cleaned daily, and towels were changed.

Verified reviewI like that it’s not too far from the airport, centrally located at Marsaxlokk fish market, walkable distance to a handful of great restaurants, and the bus station to/from Valletta and the airport is just right around the corner. Across the street, there is a convenient store if you near water and other basic stuff. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean (public area, room, bathroom and balcony). The AC works properly. The rooftop pool (small) is an amazing amenity to have during the hot summer. There are three levels of sun chairs/beds. For people who like to just tan, you will always find a spot. The hotel breakfast js good.
Nothing really. I wish my cleaning person replenish my shower gels. I feel like that I have to ration my one daily tiny bottle of liquid soap for several washes.

Verified reviewAmazing hotel - nice, clean, in the very heart of Marsaxlokk. 15 mins walk to the beach, lots of restaurants and colourful boats which are a true signature of this little town. The owners were extremely friendly, hospitable, accommodating and caring of their guests. Breakfasts were fresh and good with Maltan touch such as special goats cheese or the sweet beans. Hotel room was clean, tidy, spacious. Beds comfortable and cute balcony which was a big plus. Swimming pool area clean, spacious, with sunbeds. Rooftop view - absolutely breathtaking! 100/10, highly recommend to anyone visiting Malta! Will definitely come back ❤️🙌🏻
Everything was perfect, no cons!

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. The rooms were very clean, and the cleaning lady was exceptionally friendly. They even agreed to serve us breakfast earlier than usual, which allowed us to make it to our cruise on time. We truly appreciated their hospitality and flexibility. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewLocation, big rooms , view
The hotel should not claim that they provide breakfast, if all that they can serve is cheap meat slices and bread. They were out of boiled eggs all the tyme. My previous hotel in Malta was 3 stars and they had a coffee machine in the hall and some doughnuts free of charge all the time, but they did not advertise themselves , as though they "serve breakfasts".

Verified reviewJakob and Jerome are lovely hosts. Our room was very pleasant. Very clean, very quiet. Pleasantly, too, our room looked out to the harbor (albeit over the rooftop mechanical systems below). The doors did a great job of blocking noise. Curtains blocked the light well at night. AC was good. The rosé spritzer was a nice welcome and the breakfasts were tasty, fresh and varied. Everything is very well maintained. We liked the tranquility of Marsaxlokk. Easy to get to Valetta and Mdina with a bus pass. Short drive to airport. It was an overall very good experience.
A couple shelves for personal toiletries in the bathroom would be welcome.
