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 reviewEverything was good ! We arrived early in the morning and they kept our luggage safely in the hotel until 2pm. They helped us to carry our luggage. We had a nice room, confortable and clean. The hotel is very quiet. The landlords are nice people, they explained everything. The hotel is in a nice area, close to the centre.
It misses hooks in the bathroom for towels or clothes

Verified reviewVery cozy, extremely clean apartment. The owner was very nice, open and helpful. He gave me a lot of tips for visiting Malta. Without any additional fee I was able to check in in the morning, immediately after arrival, which was very helpful due to the luggage. I even had an iron available to me throughout my stay. I will definitely come back again!
The mattress could be thicker, but after two nights you get used to it.

Verified reviewThe host was very helpful and polite
Bathroom was indeed private but I had to walk through the common hallway to get the bathroom. This important detail is not mentioned anywhere. The light switches were outside the room. The toilet had an intense sewerage smell

Verified reviewGeorge was so nice and helped me out with nice things to see and do during my short visit.
Kitchen was not to be used, I may have missed this somewhere. However there's coffee and croissants for breakfast to get started before leaving Homebase.

Verified reviewVery beautiful property, clean room and shower. Bus stop and shop are close to the property. Owner is very helpfull and kind person ❤️ We’ve been lucky that we had privacy in the shared spaces. 🍀
Breakfast is only cereals and packed chocolate croissants, coffee only nescafe. Kitchen hasn’t functional oven or microwave, so you cant cook, but also can’t heat the food from outside. The house is noisy from the 6 am, there isn’t noise isolation and we’ve been waking by loud noises every morning.

Verified reviewVery nice property, close to the bus station and a grocery store. Owner was very friendly and helpful, he was in touch with us whenever we needed anything. If we ever come back to Malta, we will for sure book this property again. I can recommend it!

Verified reviewI enjoyed my stay at Happy Hive. The Host was very nice and provided us with all the things that we requested (iron, blow dryer). There was the shared kitchen and it had croissants, cereal, coffee etc that you could use for breakfast. (Even tho it is not mentioned in the booking). The room was very nice and clean, with a nice balcony. All things were great :)
The only thing I didnt like was the location, since it was quite far from the main tourist attraction and we had to use buses everytime (which were taking about 30 min to come to Valletta), or Bolt (it was expensive during the night but affordable during the day and it was very fast)
