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.).

United KingdomThe apartnentt was small, and tall peopkecwould have to stoop in the mezzanine bedroom.
This waz a briliant location in the heart of Birgu. My apartment was up one floor of tradiitional steps which looked great. The apartment was clean, haf everything you needed but was basic. Owners were nearby which was a comfort although nothing went wrong.

GreeceThe bathroom needs renovation, canalization smells very bad.
Great location, in 5 min walk from bus station, 7 min walk from ferry station to Valletta. Not that touristic as Sliema or Valetta, the best location to stay and explore real Malta. The owners of accommodation have a restaurant just 2 min away with Maltese cousine and good prices.

United KingdomIt took us some time to check in because they said they're still cleaning the room which destroyed our itinerary for the day.
I like the area a lot where you can experience the real Maltese culture. In the morning, you can see the locals in the center having their coffees and chatting. The place is in a historic place.

RomaniaThe bathroom could use some improvements, as well as the room itself. Although the location is clean, some of the facilities appear to be a bit rusty and could use renewal.
Perfect location, close to restaurants, buses, boat and/or ferry to Valletta, in a quiet an clean neighborhood. Good comunication with the host before arrival. Acces to a rooftop pool. Free AC at disposal.

RomaniaThe bathroom and the apartment were quite dirty. The towels and bed linens had an unpleasant smell. The apartment is equipped with everything you need, but the walls are in serious need of repainting, and the bathroom definitely needs a thorough cleaning. We also had an unfortunate situation where, out of nowhere, water started leaking from the ceiling at 4:00 AM and flooded the floor. Maybe with some renovation, the apartment could be worth €50 per night, but in its current condition, it’s not worth more than €20.
Fantastic location in a beautiful town. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and bus number 2 conveniently takes you to the center of Valletta and the ferry. The area also feels very safe, even without ,,doctors,, or ,,engineers,, from Africa or Middle East around. Communication with the host was excellent, I received all the necessary information on time.

United KingdomThe sleeping area had a low ceiling and was located on a separate level accessed via some slatted stairs. So no good for people with any kind of mobility issues.
We stayed in the ground floor studio which was great for us. Had a separate street access direct from our room which was an interesting place to sit watching the World go by. The Owners and Staff were easy to get in touch with via Whatsapp and were quick ro respond to any issues or questions. The location was good with easy access to the Harbour.
