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):
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.
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.).

The apartment is very large and equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay in Malta. It's perfect for families as there are separate rooms that can accommodate both adults and children. The apartment is located in the historical district, and on the flank of the busier areas. The view is fantastic as the apartment sits in front of one of the smaller harbors. The neighborhood is good will several restaurants and cafes nearby. The owner is highly responsive and easy to work with. An overall enjoyable place to stay in Malta.

United KingdomSadly, the hair dryer was broken :(
The location of the accommodation is simply fantastic - 5min walk to ferry terminal - 5min ferry journey to Valetta. Beautiful promenade walk available around the town revealing wonderful scenery, 5min walk to local beach. The apartment is nice and clean, very well equipped with anything you may need - dishes, washing machine, dryers, iron, soap, etc. We absolutely loved the balcony with a beautiful harbour view. Ket lock is very convenient as you can leave keys there when you go out and collect when you return so there's no chance to lose it. Thank you very much, we hope to be back once again

The property is as you can see in the pictures. We hired a car and we can easily park it outside of the property. There are buses just off the main door.. The location is great, sea views are stunning and easily connected to the road system. The host respond promptly to your questions and you have some nice welcome goodies at the arrival. We really enjoyed our stay here

We stayed here for 2 weeks, and loved it. This is a lovely apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay. the view is unbeatable and we loved sitting out I. the evening watching the sun go down and the old city walls opposite lighting up. Christian goes out of his way to help if anything problems. It is near the bus stop so easy to get into Valletta and everywhere on the island. Also easy to walk to the 3 cities. We also enjoyed walking around peaceful Kalkara where the apartment is.

AustraliaThis was a fantastic place to experience the culture and sights of Malta. The apartment is spacious, ultra-clean with magnificent views and with so many facilities. It was easy to access Valletta and other places by bus, ferry or Bolt. The local folk at Kalkara were friendly and helpful. We loved staying here and this is where we would return to. Thank you Christian for being so helpful.

United KingdomThe dynamics of the street can be very noisy with neighbours, street works and public transport. Many of the local restaurants and stores were closed during the day and it took us some time to figure out the dynamics of the city. The taxi boat stop was also relocated, so the maps and instructions would need a bit of an update. This was not an issue, more of an observation for other guests to be aware if that is important to them.
The instruction how to reach the apartment were super detailed and I like the fact that this area is off the tourist party map. The veiew from the terrace is priceless and the apartment is quite spacious and well-equipped. This was my second time in Valletta, so really enjoyed the opportunity to explore new locations and places in three towns. Communication with hosts was exquisite and they helped me feel at home.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a microwave in the kitchen. Roadworks outside the apartment presented some travel issues - taxis had problems getting to us for pick ups and drop offs and the buses were temporarily suspended, meaning a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest transportation. Obviously not something that the host could control but would have been nice to know this beforehand. The signage on the back of the front door in the apartment said the ferry to Valletta from the three cities was seven minutes walk but it was actually nearer 20 ( google maps said 27 minutes). All this meant access to Valletta took longer than anticipated.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable, well furnished with nice views. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped and both bathrooms had good showers. The lounge was airy and the smart tv was a nice touch

AustraliaThe apartment is smaller than it appears in the photos but is still spacious. The shower in the second bathroom is handheld and it not attached to the wall and the shower itself is small. There is no mirror in the second bathroom. Several lights were not working but upon advice to the host they will action these. In general the apartment needs a bit of maintenance which the host will attend to. Sheets and towels could be replaced and the host will attend to this. Also pillows would be great.
The location of this apartment was excellent as you have wonderful view of Birgu and parts of Valletta. During August we had fireworks every evening for religious celebration and also anniversary of the convoy of ships that saved Malta during the war. It is an easy walk over to Birgu where the restaurants are. You can also walk to the ferry to go the Valletta I recommend taking the traditional ferry as they take 6 and a lots of fun. The apartment itself is very spacious and has all you need for cooking and also has a laundry with washer and dryer which is very handy. Whilst there are 2 bathrooms with showers and toilet the second bathroom is very small and the shower is handheld rather than attached to the wall which can be inconvenient. You walk through the shower to get to the laundry which is a bit quirky. There are a few local restaurants close by and the host can advise which to visit. The host was very responsive and helped with any issues we had. He will also attend to the maintenance issues that we had highlighted.
