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 was central and excellent The balconies let you rest but still feel amongst the town, like your own personal cafe for people watching The cafe below was so friendly and delicious. The “GoldenHarvest” store — how did they have every need covered in such a small space 40 m away! Parking was easy.

Verified reviewSo charming the accommodation. The area of Rabat was the best choice—no crowds, beautiful buildings. We enjoyed the restaurants and bars in the evening. This little apartment is in the heart of Rabat. Very cute little balcony where we also tried our breakfast there :) The owner is always reachable and very kind.

Verified reviewThis Suite was awesome, right in the heart of old town Rabat near the church. Really lovely furnished, spacious and well equipped with very comfortable bed and hot shower. We also loved the balcony where we had coffee and breakfast every morning watching the people walking pass. Joseph was extremely helpful, replaced the broken hairdryer immediately and came around to explain the induction plate to us. Mdina only five minutes walk away, St Paul’s catacombs too and lovely Rabat. We parked our car on the parking lot just around the corner, very convenient. When coming during the weekend, bring ear plugs, the bar opposite is playing music until midnight.

Verified reviewApartment was even nicer than shown in pictures. Location was ideal. Communications were excellent. Staff in coffee shop below were charming and helpful.
Nothing at all ( other than some of the Maltese wine was a bit of an acquired taste)

Verified reviewThe location was so central, right in the heart of Rabat, but still with a strong sense of community. So easy to settle into and explore Mdina and Rabat at leisure, all within walking distance. And very comfortable accommodation.

Verified reviewWe loved absolutely everything about the apartment, never happier with a Booking place than this. It has a fabulous location, central to everything, nice views, charming historic apartment, lively area in day and quiet at night, great value for money, nicely decorated, spotless, enjoyed breakfast in coffee shop below, loved wine on the balcony and watching the street activities. We had the added fun of watching the preparations for the St Paul festival on the streets around us. We stayed a week and took day trips and explored Rabat and Mdina which are wonderful. Could not have been happier or more content.
There was nothing we didn't love about the about the apartment or our yummy breakfast below (offered with a discount for apartment). We had a rented car and in June parking in the town is a challenge but each time we held our breath and found a place within a few minutes. This is nothing that is a problem with the rental, just the popular town as a whole needs more parking. Once parked we typically always walked within Rabat and Mdina and moved the car as little as possible only for day trips.

Verified reviewThe apartment is absolutely fantastic, exactly as the photos show. It's a credit to the host! The location is wonderful and the view is spectacular. Rabat is a magical place day and night. I would absolutely recommend visiting.
Don't let this stop you visiting it's just an honest observation, The downside to the fabulous location is the noise from the church bells, they ring through the day and night. The bar next door creates noise that travels up to the apartment as the windows are traditional Maltese ones. The apartment building is on the corner of a busy road and the Maltese are very horn beepy. The only other thing to mention is the stairs up to the apartment are fairly steep and may cause issues for some if not noted.

Verified reviewThe beds especially the pillows (even better than at home :)). It is a spacious apartment with nice bathroom and good air conditioning and 2 balconies overview the streets below. The host, Joseph is very nice and helpful and he made sure we have everything we need. Really appreciate it. We really enjoyed our stay there.
It is located in the center of the town and next to a restaurant and can get noisy until late in the night. For us, it is not a problem but maybe it will for family with small kids.

Verified reviewWe had problems figuring out how to open the lock box, but the lady at the pastry shop helped. Breakfast was also good and it was nice to get a discount. Excellent central location. The suite was more spacious than we expected.
The bar next door was noisy on Saturday evening, but it was only open until 12.00, so it was OK in the end.
