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.).

RomaniaTotul a fost pe gustul si asteptarile mele.
I was on vacation for 3 nights at The Stonehouse together with a friend. I can say with my hand on my heart that everything was superlative, from the host who welcomed us from the beginning of the stay, Mrs. Cathy, an extraordinary woman with a vast culture and super involved in everything that is a customer, she treats you like her family, you feel like you are at home, right down to the room and its facilities (I stayed in the Jade room which was super spacious) The hotel looks like an oasis of peace where you have absolutely everything you need. I can say that the breakfast was very varied and everything was fresh. You have coffee, water and tea machines + cakes on absolutely all floors of the hotel, even quality ones. Ms. Cathy personally takes care of boat trips around almost the entire island, or if you don't want that, she can design a whole plan for you with what to do during your stay. On departure, the check-out was at 11:00 a.m. but the plane was at 8:45 p.m. and we were able to leave all our luggage safely at the hotel until we left for the airport, and we were even able to stay for a cigarette or a coffee. I very rarely give a 10 to an accommodation, but here it didn't feel like accommodation, but simply "Home". Thank you for the experience and I will definitely come back as soon as possible!

Well, what can I say. Our 5 night stay in June at The Stonehouse met all of our expectations, and more. In a world of high rise hotels with their sleek lines of concrete and glass, this place offered something more in keeping with the tradition of Malta. With its stone walls and steps, along with Maltese tiles and furniture, all located a 1 minute walk from the harbour of Spinola Bay. We were greeted with a text on our way from the airport confirming we were in the penthouse which was great as this was an upgrade. Two flights of stairs and then a spiral staircase was a little daunting, but not an issue when you see the room. I'd advise anyone to go on the owners website for better pictures of the rooms, as Booking.com doesn't have the penthouse listed, and descriptions of all the other rooms are better. Cathy, the owner couldn't of been more helpful with her guide of things to do and places to avoid. If you're looking for something on a more personal level in an ideal location to explore the island, you'd struggle to beat The Stonehouse. But do plan ahead as availability could be you're main problem. If we were to visit Malta again, this would be the first place I would look to stay.

LithuaniaBed wasn’t comfortable for our liking, it wasn’t the worst, but better bed would have been a big plus. I didn’t like that there is a extra charge for late check in which did not make any sense to me as it is self check in anyway. We made it on time, but really I could not make sense of why that charge would be applied if we arrived any time later.
The location of the property is perfect if you want to explore St Julians area. The house itself is authentic and gives that vibe. It has everything you need for a short stay and the hostess was helpful.

A fantastic place, we really enjoyed our stay and would book again. Would normally try other places if we were looking to come back to an area, but I doubt we could find anything close to this. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

Didn’t get a chance to have a swim in the pool but it looked very inviting. Tania also was very accommodating

United StatesThe stay here was rather expensive for someone traveling alone, however as a couple it would've been more reasonable. There are also very steep hills around the house which would be uncomfortable for people with limited mobility.
The Stonehouse was absolutely beautiful. Everything about the rooms and bathrooms was perfect, and having a little private balcony was lovely.

United KingdomStunning property, really authentic, beautifully furnished, if it's a real taste of Malta you are looking for you can't beat this property. Cathy is really helpful and knowledgeable and very professional and really helps you to make the most of your stay. All the little touches are delightful, from drinks available on each floor, including biscuits. Location is wonderful and very accessible but as set a little bit back from Spinola Bay you don't get any of the noise.

Property itself is Superb. It’s a large house renovated to high standards yet keeping the feel and authenticity of an old rustic home. Our room was spacious and beautiful. Cathy runs this place and is uber informative about everything Malta. If you need advice or guidance, you couldn’t come to a better place.
