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 reviewNice location, close to everything. The outside pool is a big plus, as closest beaches are very crowded and not so attractive. Water and polo area very clean. Another big plus is a drinkable water stations where you can refill 24/7. Nice breakfasts, enough choice for 3 days stay for us. We had a kitchen with a fridge in our room which is also a plus.
Could be cleaner... Visible dirt in the bathroom and around the bed. I was sleeping on the extended couch - inside the bed interior was nothing but dust and dirt. Both bed and couch were so noisy and squicky. All guests were waken up at night when anyone was moving. Before arriving we were not told that jacuzzi is only "seasonal"... What is the season if not July then? There was water filled inside, some guests were using it either way, but when we checked it - water was not clean at all.

Verified reviewThe facilities were excellent including the pool and rooftop jacuzzi. We made use of the onsite laundry room which was very convenient. The variety of food provided at breakfast was great, a lot of options to choose from. The staff in the breakfast room were friendly and helpful. The room was well air conditioned and we had access to cooled drinking water every day.
Communication was an issue for me during this booking. The zzzing text service that contact you seems to be an AI chatbot as I had asked for our bedding to be set up in advance of arrival. The chat said it wasn’t a problem but when we arrived very late the sofa bed for two of us hadn’t been set up. We had trouble getting in touch with the team and had to wait up very late for a staff member to come and provide us with bedding. I would recommend anyone who books this property to know that there isn’t always a member of staff onsite to help and to make sure you have spoken to a human rather than chatbot with any requests prior to arrival. Apart from this issue we really enjoyed our stay here.

Verified reviewThe hotel was amazing. It wasn’t busy so you could get a spot near the pool easily and the pool was clean and the perfect temperature to cool down in. There’s a hot tub on the roof terrace which was just lovely! Kitchen in the room was very handy to have a fridge with a freezer compartment. Towels were readily available as was the agent on WhatsApp when you messaged for assistance. Highly recommend, would come back. We extended our stay here by two nights as we liked it so much :)
There’s nothing I didn’t really like, just be prepared to walk up a hill to get back to your hotel - but that is Malta :)
Hi Robyn, thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's great to hear our team was readily available to support you. We can't wait to welcome you back to our beautiful islands!

Verified reviewThe room was too small for a family, and the worst part was that the view from the window was their warehouse! There is no natural light or you will not see at all the sun.

Verified reviewWe would like to suggest adding a drying rack, perhaps on the 4th floor or on the 3rd-floor terrace. We found it a bit difficult to dry our swimsuits and towels, and we didn't want to use the dryer for just a few items. Otherwise, we are incredibly happy with our stay; it truly feels like a home away from home. All the staff were kind and welcoming. A special thank you to Ioanka. From Iryna, and Michele from Room 32!
A Small Suggestion & Heartfelt Thanks
Hi Iryna, thank you for your lovely feedback and thoughtful suggestion! We're thrilled to hear you felt at home and appreciated our welcoming staff, especially Ioanka. We can't wait to welcome you and Michele back for another wonderful stay!

Verified reviewGreat location, property was clean, easy to access etc.. and had about 16 rooms across 4 floors Pool was great, ladies who do breakfast are lovely and went beyond to help our toddler cool off and stay happy!
Only issue was the Malta Nightlife, typically very busy thurs to Sunday night, people are loud in the streets on the way home from Pacheville, so from 2-4am there is noise on the streets and doors banging etc, if you have come for total R&R or are a light sleeper this wouldn’t be for you.
Dear Sarah, thank you for your wonderful review! We hope to welcome you and your family back soon!
