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.).

IrelandI would just recommend changing the shower head, that's all.
The place is magical, very authentic and full of character. The aircon was perfect, it was quiet and we had a lot of space. We loved it!

HungaryThe mattress is pretty bouncy so when the person next to you turns you might feel it more than usual, and the water pressure is a bit low.
Great location, really good value for price, perfect for a calm, romantic getaway for a couple. The rooftop terrace was very nice and the ambience of the interior is lovely.

United KingdomThat we had to leave 😪
Absolutely beautiful place. I appreciated the age of the building and character, etc. Birgu is a very beautiful place and lots to see. The location of the little house is perfect with easy access to the ferry to go over to valetta waterfront, etc. Museums close by and a big market up the road on a Tuesday. There are plenty of things to do and places to eat or drink close by. The host was absolutely wonderful and fixed a small issue promptly without hesitation, which we greatly appreciated. Such a kind-hearted soul and was a pleasure to meet. I would 100% recommend staying here as not only is the price good but if you appreciate the beauty of places then this is where you want to be heading. Book!

I recently stayed at a charming building in the historic area of Birgu, Malta, and it was an exquisite experience. The property perfectly captures the essence of old Malta, offering a genuine glimpse into its rich heritage. Its location is ideal—conveniently close to all the attractions in Birgu and just a short boat ride from Valletta, making it easy to explore the capital city. The building itself is stunning, reflecting the unique architectural beauty of the region. The owner was extremely lovely and helpful, accommodating an early arrival with ease. The house was also impeccably clean, enhancing the overall comfort of the stay. The only minor issue during my visit was the lack of hot water, but given the warm temperatures, this was more of a minor inconvenience than a major problem. Overall, I highly recommend staying here for a true taste of Malta’s charm. The experience felt authentic and immersive, and the exceptional hospitality made it a memorable part of my trip.

United KingdomThe house has two small roof terraces but nowhere to sit outside. The house would benefit from some seating on the front roof terrace which has a partial view of the harbour.
Beautiful house close to the centre of Birgu and well equipped. The host was excellent and responded to our questions. Birgu is a beautiful historic city which we loved exploring. Great location.

A lovely old stone built house in the old capital of Malta. Lots of little alleyways to wander around and only 50 Mt's from the harbour. All facilities on site and a washing machine was a bonus.

United KingdomWhile everything was working, a few things could do with some attention, but that's me getting picky:.a handle on the chest of drawers in the bedroom was loose, the shower in the bathroom was working, but the bath tap wasn't. One handle in the kitchen had sharp edges, catching on clothes.
The property is really spacious and characterful. The location is great it is well connected to busses and near the ferry to Valetta. While cafés and restaurants are on the doorstep, it is a nice and peaceful location. It has a lovely little inner courtyard/lightwell, more could be made of this feature.

BelgiumMy stay at an apartment in Malta was marred by a cold and insufficiently heated environment, despite the air conditioning. The initially friendly host agreed to a refund after canceling my stay due to the discomfort, but failed to follow through and ceased all communication, leading to a very disappointing experience. In contrast, other properties in Malta provided a much more comfortable and enjoyable stay, making it clear that I cannot recommend this particular apartment or its owner.
