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 reviewLocation was pretty good. Great amenities in the flat, kitchen, washing machine, lounge area.
AC was not working at all in our room for the whole week. Sleeping by 35°C is tough.
Thank you for your coming, Jerome. And so sorry for the AC issue, we could repair the device just after your staying. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience. Szilvia

Verified reviewThe localisation is convenient, it has good connections to other cities.
The air conditioning wasn’t working and the host didn’t find a way to fix it during the whole week, even though she said she would do it multiple times. It was a big inconvenience because the heat was enormous (around 30°C at night) and it was impossible to sleep. Also, the church is located close to the apartment and bells are ringing all day and night so it was even harder not to wake up during the night. Next thing is that our sheets and towels weren’t clean enough - they were covered in stains. In the advertisement, it says that there are ironing appliances, but they weren't there. There is only one BR-EU socket adapter, which isn’t enough, especially because the kettle, toaster and hair dryer need an EU socket. Last but not least on our last day there were worms on the floor in the whole apartment.
Hi Mateusz, thank you for your review. There is an ironing stuff, the board is next to the machine , the iron is in the kitchen. Sorry for the Airco, 2 different maintenance man was there and it’s true that they still could not finish the repair. Sorry for the warmth, I have no clue how they could get there. And yes, there is a church very close and sometimes they use the bells. Thank you for your coming and your patience. Sorry for any inconvenience.

There were loads of baby cockroaches in the kitchen and cooking there was not an option for me. She called pest control, but you could see them everywhere even then. The location provided is wrong, as it actually is in Msida and not Sliema, behind the Busy Bee Gelatería.
Hi dear, yes, I warned you that after pest control is possible to see bugs. Otherwise hope you enjoyed the other services and had a nice time in Malta.

That we didn't get the room we originally booked, we got sent to SeaBreeze penthouse, which was dirty, the plumbing was clogged, there were food remains in the fridge, the towels were stained. We had a hard time contacting the host, and the host did nothing, only said: "it was cleaned". We had to book another apartment and leave on the first day.
Hi Zita, I contacted you immediately and we appointed in the solution. So I hardly understand your comment. But okay, hope you had a nice time in Malta.

Verified reviewThe bus stop was quite near the place.
I have never been in such a dirty and poor accommodation. Our accommodation was changed without any warning or explanation (she is doing that a lot as I saw in the reviews) and sent me a wrong address when I asked her which took us another hour to notice and find the right place. The new place was located far away the beaches or bigger shops in the very old building. In the offer there is mentioned - lift, TV, kettle, modern apartment in the center of Msida - none of that was true there were some of these items but broken or unable to use (no eu/uk adapter), only the stew and fridge was working OK when I washed it from the dirt and oil. The oven was broken and never fixed during our stay so we needed to throw our food out and go out for dinner instead. Cleaning leady didn't clean anything when one guests moved out, she put their open food to ours even I told her it was not our food, placed the coffee mug in the sink and left and never appeared again. Also there is not mentioned it's shared apartment (which was not a big deal for us but didn't expect that and other co-livers were surprised too) and there was not AC in every room. One lady slept in the shared kitchen since there was no space for three in their room and was dying every night because the heat and mosquitos. The owen was not repaired or any technician was invited to check it. No excuse from the owner at all. I am disgusted and have breathing problems till my arrival there..
Hi Lea, thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry you felt uncomfortable, you never mentioned it during your staying. The apartment is closer to the beach than the other one, and on the seafront. It has the same equipment than the other one, apart the elevator. Sorry for shy inconvenience during your time.

Verified reviewNice apartment in renovated building with lift. Two rooms – one with balcony and one with window to the back yard (without balcony) and shared kitchen and living room. Every room have separate bathroom. The building is very close to Valletta-around 20 min with bus. There are many bus stations around 5 min walk from the apartment. Seaside Room have not private parking. The parking is on street. To find parking place is difficult, but not impossible. The host Szilvia is very kind and helpful. Nice communication with her. Be careful - the address and the coordinates of Seaside Room is not correct in Booking and Google maps. The apartment is very close to them, but not the same you see in Google maps. Follow the instruction of the host Szilvia to find the address.
For five days no one from the staff came to throw out the trash.
Dear Georgi, we have only the end cleaning, we don't go into the apartment during your stay, just if you ask for it directly. Thank you for your coming and very welcome back any time. Szilvia

It was nothing like the photos and less than 10 hours before our flight there was a cancellation from the hosts for the first two nights.They practically leave us on the streets and even we do not receive any compensation for these huge inconvenience. Furthermore, the hosts did not refund all the money for the first two nights.It was dirty even though they charge us around 35 euro per cleaning and the towels were obviously unclean.Everything was nothing else but scam,so I recommend not staying at these place.
Hi dear, you got back your refund from booking.com. When you were here, you said everything’s fine. Otherwise we could manage the things for your favor. Pity you have a bed feeling.

Verified reviewVery nice object, great localisation close to Valletta, nice vibe and great atmosphere of location around. There are few things to improve but hosts are angaged and do their best. Everything works A/C, fridge, water and all od the equipment is ok. Hosts are helpful and very friendly.
Some issues to improove with cleanliness, map location (but it's event better not do far from Airport), and we had to transfer to the other room during the holiday but Ms Szilvia explained everything in advance and we received even better room than previous.

Verified reviewOnly the location
The experience was really really bad. At first, the landlord told us the day we arrived that the room we booked was not available and we had to stay in another apartment. In this apartment, there was cockroaches and they didn’t explain us how the A/C was working so we couldn’t sleep because of the heat + no towels to take a shower. Next day, we were finally able to go to the room initially booked (well… it was not the same as the photos on the description). There was no shower products, the wifi was not working, there was no cold water… I let you imagine taking a shower with hot water when it’s 35 degrees outside… Finally, and the most unbelievable part, is that during 3 nights, there was no electricity SO impossible to sleep, we had to throw away all our food because the fridge was not working, we couldn’t charge our phones. One day the electricity went out at 7pm and came back the next day at 1 pm… 18h without electricity! And 0 solution from the landlord: just a “it’s not our fault, we cannot do anything” So we decided to leave because it was just not posible! If you want to enjoy Malta, and don’t waste your money don’t go there!
Hi dear, I know it was a hard time, yet want to explain 2 things. The water comes from the roof tanks so it’s hot in the beginning. This is the system everywhere in Malta. The electricity also went off because of the heat. It was also a huge problem everywhere as you could read in the newspapers. I cannot do anything if the if the provider doesn’t supply electricity. What I did to offered another room where we had electricity and you could sleep. Sorry for any inconvenience, it was a hard time in Malta.

The fact that the curtains were see through and I was facing the street. The neighbours dog going on like a madman at 10Pm or later. The cockroaches in the kitchen. The fact that the host does not know or care for how things work...e.g. I did reset the wifi after finding out were it was (she didn't know and she didn't care to ask how I did it) the TV set is just show. The outlets are British and the plugs are European. Regardless of what it she tells you...having paid for XYZ.... Cannot possibly be true.
