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.).

GermanyI think to enhance the privacy, some curtains are needed or would be nice, or are expected from a place that has a good quality like this. Also, the air conditioning in the rooms gets turned off in the late morning- afternoon, until the evening, so if you’re in the room, there is a fan, but it gets warm.
The property is centrally located. The beds were comfortable. The spa was a nice addition, but do not expect anything fancy; it is just a small pool and the sauna. The kitchen and the common facilities were nice. The room is air-conditioned and it is controlled from the reception. They also provide some drinking water in the kitchen.

UK Virgin IslandsI stayed in the yellow room. The bathroom noise was annoying because we could hear everything when someone was showering and so on. They also tried to charge me €3 for a second towel. I’ve never stayed in a hostel or hotel that asked for extra money for a second towel mine got wet after showering, so if you’re staying longer, bring your own towel.
The property is in a good location, just 10 minutes from the beach. You can reach Valletta by ferry in 20 minutes, with ferries running every 20 minutes until late at night and also very clean.

BrazilStaff could be more friendly and informed about atractions and transportation. The door of the bathroom dont need this glass for sure!
The house is very nice, very good kitchen, good living room to chill, super silent, the spa looks great. Bedrooms are huge, also the bathrooms, that are modern and work very well. Each bed has a big drawer to keep your stuff (enough for small luggages only, but the room has space for big bags too). Location is amazing, very easy to take the bus to go up to the ferry to Gozo/Lagoons (2 min walking plus about 1h by bus), and also to take the ferry to Valetta (2 min walking plus 15 min by ferry)! It has a small rocky beach close to it, with a nice view of Valetta, and many shops and restaurants around. Very central neighboorhood. The only 2 negative things in the shared room are that the bathroom door have a glass, so whenever someone is inside, the light comes to the room, and whenever you want to open your drawer, you’ll wake everyone up, since it is a lot noisy.

ItalyPosition is great to explore Valletta and St. Julian easily. It is a few steps away from necessities shops, retail shopping, cafés, bus stops and ferries. It is the best price-quality really. Staff is nice, the common area is clean, people are pretty respectful. If you are traveling solo, you can really meet some great people. :) Just know that you must bring your necessities (towels, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel...), but if you need some, try asking and they might offer them for a fee. This is known in their offering though. Overall, would totally recommend!
