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.).

United KingdomI arrived after midnight and there are no staff on duty, so I struggled to get in the door. There was a code but it felt complex at 2am. I also missed breakfast as I hadn't been reminded of the times or where to go, as no staff on duty.
The location was by the harbour and the room had all I needed. I could leave my bag whilst I explored the next day.

SlovakiaLovely and very helpful staff, especially the owner, who was very friendly and didn't have a problem with any request. Clean and spacious room with everyday cleaning. Good location. Fine breakfast served every day on the terrace with a view over the harbour. It was definitely worth our money, and we highly recommend it.

CanadaSome of the amenities in the room were a little older but well kept. On a quieter side of the port so not as accessible later in the evening or for restaurant/bar options
Great spot, on a quieter side of the city but easily accessible to the ferry and main city attractions. Comfortable with AC and decent space. Super simple check-in and check-out even when arriving late. Lovely staff

GreeceThe fact that the boats from Valetta didn't take us to Kalkara. Keep that in mind so that you don't waste your time. Uber however worked just as fine.
Breakfast ws amazing and the view from the terrace as well. Many thanks to the owner for letting us borrow the EU adaptor as we didn't understand the socket we could use in the room.

A delicious breakfast is also offered, which made our mornings even better. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant getaway. Host, I forgot to tell you when we were leaving, you are welcome to Croatia anytime you want. 😁

PolandVilla del Porto is a hotel in a building with history - it is not newly built. It therefore gives a feel for the atmosphere of Kalkara. The room furnishings atmospheric with a touch of this historicity. My window overlooked the harbour bay and I even managed to swim in it in the morning. A kettle in the room and very good local tea. The fridge was also there, which is a must in this climate. Staff very, very friendly - from the cleaning ladies to the owner. The breakfast was fine, you could have a filling meal. Served on the terrace with a beautiful view of the vicinity and Valletta.

AustraliaThere was nothing I particularly disliked. For the price paid and the view the rooms were fine, but don't expect luxury. I didn't mind the quieter location for the great view but it's not a buzzing area.
The welcome and ongoing communication with the host was excellent. The view was incredible - I appreciated a simpler room at a reasonable cost to enjoy a view that usually costs much more. Breakfast was simple but more than enough to start the day. Location is good if you aren't interested in having a lot of restaurant options and activity close by. It's an easy walk to the Three Cities and the bus stop was close. Rinella Beach across the hill was a good spot for a swim.

HungaryIf I had to mention one small downside, it would be that the beds squeaked a bit. That said, we still slept well and found the room spacious and comfortable.
The accommodation had an excellent location — it was easy to get around, and many of the main tourist attractions were within convenient reach. There were several restaurants nearby, all within walking distance, which was really helpful when we were hungry and didn’t feel like going far. What stood out the most for me were two things. First, the view from the rooftop terrace — absolutely stunning! It was a fantastic place to have breakfast and start the day. Second, our host's hospitality. He was incredibly kind and helpful with anything we needed, and he took the time to chat with everyone in a genuinely friendly way. Breakfast was delicious, and overall we had a very pleasant experience.

RomaniaBit small room, there's a little street noise but nothing very bad. I'd say that for sleep, eating something in the morning and being away for most of the day to enjoy the country it's good.
Really beautiful view, the terrace access is a bonus also. basic furniture in the sense that you have a wardrobe, a bed, a table with a chair. We also had some festivities and could watch the fireworks so that was lovely

PolandMaybe a bit more diverse breakfast. Scrambled eggs or some sausages on demand would be nice.
Calm and beautiful location. Far from overcrowded and noisy places. Just 3 minutes walk to Bus top in Valletta direction. The Bus stop back from Valletta is less than 10 minutes walk. It was a blessing to spend late evenings on one of the benches by the marina after intensive sightseeing tours around Malta. Room cleaned every day. Comfy beds. Breakfast with beautiful marina view. Great communication with owner.
