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 location in which the apartment is located, is a really nice quiet and historical area. Many stores and restaurants as well as historical sites to see nearby. Also it has a bus station just 1 minute from the apartment. Now regarding the inside of the apartment it was bigger than expected and convenient enough. It offered many things we didn't mind bringing and the area was clean.
Because the apartment is old the bathroom smells somehow weird but it's not dirty. Also there are some places in it with mold that can attract insects.

Verified reviewThis 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.
The apartnentt was small, and tall peopkecwould have to stoop in the mezzanine bedroom.

Verified reviewGreat location, interesting hall accessing the room. The host left us two water bottles and coupons, tips, and tricks for the island visits, which was kind. The apartment was flawlessly clean and had everything for a cosy and lovely vacation.
We did feel like some of the stairs in the hall could break underneath us.

Verified reviewOne of the cheapest and best hotels. You have everything inside as you will see in the information so I won't write them one by one. The location is right in the center of birgu and you have everything close. The staff and people are perfect. It was wonderful I hope to go back in the future.

Verified reviewFantastic 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.
The 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.

Verified reviewThe property is centrally located, just a few steps away from Birgu's main square.
The property is very small but there is everything that one would need for a short stay.
