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 reviewThe 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.
I 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.

Verified reviewThe 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.
I 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.

Verified reviewThe location is one of the best if you want to be well connected by buses and ferries, within walking distance of popular areas but still away from the party chaos of St. Julian’s. The hostel is calm and friendly, with staff always ready to help. The kitchen is spacious and comfortable, so if you plan on cooking occasionally, it’s a great option. They even lent me a lock for my personal compartment at no extra cost.
Even though it’s the middle of summer and you’re paying a high hostel fee, they turn off the A/C at 10 a.m. (regardless of whether people are still sleeping in the room — they don’t even knock before coming in). They only turn it back on at 9/10 pm, so if you want to stay cool during the day, you basically have to go to the kitchen or a small common room. The shared bathroom is cleaned at most once a day, so for the rest of the time it’s usually wet.

Verified reviewI love this hostel is beautiful
You have to pay for the towels 3 euros for rent it, I think it should be included in the price.

Verified reviewThe only positive thing is the position in front of the ferry for Valletta
The A.C. was 10 cm above my head and I could not sleep a single minute. The girl in the bed below me was already ill and coughed all night. They said the A.C. can’t be changed. I had reservation for 2 nights but I moved away as soon as possible the day after

Verified reviewThe 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.
Staff could be more friendly and informed about atractions and transportation. The door of the bathroom dont need this glass for sure!

Verified reviewThe location is great, just a few minutes' walk to the pier, and the staffs are friendly and helpful.
The room rate isn't exactly cheap, but the air conditioning is only turned on at fixed times each day by staff, apparently from 7 or 8 PM until 10 or 11 AM the next morning. However, Malta's summers are extremely hot, and the rooms become very stuffy, especially in the basement where ventilation is poor. The most uncomfortable part for me was the bathroom area. It felt very dirty, with water pooling on the floor, the mats and towels soaked through, and the toilet stained with urine. I feel the cleaning frequency isn’t sufficient, as it’s hard to expect every guest to be 100% clean. The most unpleasant part of the day was brushing my teeth in the morning. The bathroom wasn’t inside the room, and the only available bathroom combined shower and toilet facilities, requiring waiting and preparing mentally to face the mess left by the previous user.

Very strict checkin rules. No room to rest as the room downstairs is used by people for their work / phone calls
