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 reviewThis apartment, situated on the 4th floor of a residential building locate in a side street just 2 min walk from the very pretty harbour at Marsaskala with it's plethora of mini-markets, restaurants and bars was the perfect place to base ourselves for our stay. There are several bus stops and a bus station within 5 min walk which provide easy and cheap access to the south of the island and also Valletta bus station (7 day go anywhere bus pass is 25 Euro pp or individual journeys on any given route were a flat rate of 2 Euro pp with tickets valid for 2hrs so could be used on a hop on hop off basis if required). The owners, Edmond and his wife went out of their way to make us welcome and for a small fee picked us up from the airport with our luggage and then took us back again at the end of our stay. They helpfully recommended a couple of the nearby eateries as being rather special, and when we tried them they were! The apartment itself was large, spotlessly clean and well appointed with a great selection of crockery, utensils and cutlery. A big and very comfy double bed and a large en suite shower room and WC completed the facilities. Outside there were 2 very large terraces enjoying a superb view of the harbour. One was fitted out with a table, chairs and a comfy sofa, perfect for "Al Fresco breakfasts" and pre dinner drinks whilst the other had two full length sun loungers great for sunbathing. The property is reached via a lift which was good for us but there are also stairs for those wanting a bit more exercise!
Like the rest of Malta car parking in Marsaskarla is not easy - not the fault of the owners, just narrow Maltese roads and limited public parking spaces in the town. Apart from that everything else was excellent

Verified reviewCollecting the property keys was simple, because super host Edmond collected us at the airport (despite our late arrival). Truly above-and-beyond service!! We really liked everything about this penthouse, The location was excellent, and the appointments in the penthouse were exactly as promised. BOTH balconies were outstanding, with views of the harbor and comfy outdoor furniture. A lovely visit, and a perfect service experience! Do not hesitate to book this property -- you will NOT be disappointed!!
Two super, super minor things ... the footboard on the bed was rather too close to the wardrobe and some shelving adjacent to the pedestal sink in the bathroom to hold toiletries would have been helpful. But, really, everything about this place is WONDERFUL.

Verified reviewThe location of the apartment is superb in terms of the stunning views from all rooms and two spacious balconies. The apartment is close to the local mini supermarkets, bistros and is in a prime location for accessing all amenities in the local area. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responded quickly to any requests. We felt really well looked after. The bus stops are within easy walking distance for trips to Valetta and other tourist destinations. The light filled apartment met all of our needs and we will certainly be booking again. A hidden gem !
There were no concerns at all and we liked everything !

Verified reviewThe host was fantastic, he went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic stay. He gave us a run down of all the facilties in the apartment. He showed us where the locals eat and met us down there and shouted us a beer. Great choice of restaurants and cafes to choose from. Beautiful views from our balcony over the harbour. Lovely walk along the board walk.
Nothing to complain about. Every thing was great.

Verified reviewAbsolutely fantastic stay at Seaview Setters. The apartment is beautiful, spotlessly clean with fantastic views over the harbour from the amazing terrace. Little, thoughtful touch of providing beach towels for swimming, alongside the regular bath towels, was really appreciated for travellers like us who travel very light with hand luggage only. Communication with Edmond was easy and we appreciated being able to get into the apartment when we arrived early - thank you! Highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Seaview Setters and appreciated the extra touches. It was our pleasure to accommodate your early arrival. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards, Edmond

Verified review2 air conditioning! Mesmerizing view on the harbor from 2 balconies Super friendly owners Very clean (I've been wondering what you guys use to make laundry because the smell was really nice 😃) All necessary appliances in place: adapters, iron, hair dryer, beach towels, things for cooking like a pan, pots, plates etc. Quite good location: you'll have to drive from a place to another anyway because different attractions are simply located all over the island. Location of the apartment was good because things like shops, bakeries, pharmacy, some restaurants and cafes were on hand Quiet neighborhood + very silent insidd the flat no matter on what time during the day/night Re parking: quite easy to find a spot on the street or behind the corner close to the apartment PS.: If you like Turkish cuisine, we highly recommend to go for a breakfast or a dinner to Tava Terrace (around 45 mins drive). Prices are not the lowest but the food is definitely worth it.
Thank you for your review! It was our pleasure hosting you! We look forward to hosting you once again in the future. You were great guests
