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):
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.
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.).

CroatiaOur shower was not good because when you shower everything splashes around and it could be a little bit better. And the third bed was shaky.
I went with my 6 friends for 6 nights. The location was perfect and the staff were amazing. For the price it was very good.

QatarIt was a stay that was worth. The location is pretty good in Sliema, close to the beach, restaurants and bus stops (regular and tourism). Staff were super friendly and their effort to keep the premises clean and the customers satisfied is noticeable! Breakfast is great and healthy.

United KingdomDefinitely the breakfast was awful, poor and you don’t have too many options to choose from. My friend was gluten-free and she didn't have enough options only the bread and some tomato. Non-dairy free products. I will recommend to change these little things because you can help somebody else.
The room was very tiny and neat. The staff were very friendly and very polite. The a/c was working properly and you have all you need in the bathroom (amenities). The location was spotless

NetherlandsAs hygiene being very important to me in deciding which accommodation I would book, I have to honestly say that I think this should be improved in Howard hotel. Upon my arrival to the room, the bedsheets were dirty and two times, we received not very clean towels. Fortunately the stuff is very helpful and kind and these were solved very easily upon request. However, I think a bit more attention should be payed on the hygiene, because it would be shame for a such a cute hotel to lose its guests.
Hotel stuff was very helpful and friendly, location was very good, close to the promenade next to the sea that brings you by walking to St. Julian and close to bus stations from airport and also to the Sliema harbour and to the other beaches and places on Malta. Hotel also has a rooftop balcony which is available for guest to use until 22h, so it is nice place to chill after a long day of exploring. Breakfast was nice, enough to have a nice start of exploring the island. Overall, we had a nice stay.

RomaniaA squeak from water pipes due to water pressure, probably, and lot of public domain repairs around the hotel, but nothing that host can do, so don't take it like a minus, just like an update of location.
The Howard hotel is an excellent location for explorers. Close to bus stations, to Sliema promenade, ferry, Lidl, stores etc, but in a quiet area(very important :) ). Breakfast is very good, continental version, with a rich option of pastries, among other delicacies(Maltese cheese, Maltese sausage, fresh fruits etc) . Coffee machine is amazing, offering numerous options from ristretto to chococino or simply a warm glass of milk or hot water for tea(also various options for tea lovers). The room was good, clean, fresh towel every day although we hang them up to show we are eco friendly :). Hot water boiler big enough for two persons. Personnel very friendly, helpful and discreet. Overall, this is a location where you will comeback for sure. Very good price/quality ratio!
