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.).

CroatiaGlass railing (both in the room and rooftop pool) were dirty during our entire stay (6 nights) and this lowers visibility greatly (picture provided how it looks during the night from the room). Outside view is not that great - you have about 20 degree nice view towards the see and coast, rest is traffic roads and ruined rooftops of surrounding buildings. There is a lot of outside traffic noise (especially at night) and animal smell (there are chickens roaming freely just outside the hotel) while you are seated at the Elba restaurant outside. Food at the restaurant (Elba, not Oia) is avarage at best, and the prices are like in the michelin star restaurants, so we have eaten only one meal there. Breakfast is A la Carte, but you receive only menu for food, you don’t know what options you have for beverages, also food menu is missing some basic stuff like fruit plate, bread & butter, toast and similar light food you want sometimes to eat. Seal on walk-in shower glass in our room was broken on first day (picture provided here) so we have flood in the bathroom, but after our complain, they have fixed it next day, and that is plus for service, but anyway we are of the opinion someone should have noticed that prior to our arrival. Pool opening hours are only until 18:00 and they don’t allow you even to be near pool after this time, also, you are not allowed to bring other food there (even from the other restaurant in the hotel) and this was a problem for my wife who doesn’t eat asian food.
Nice looking suits, interior and exterior design, infinity rooftop pool, clean rooms, rooftop bar and drinks it is offering together with staff. All waiters at Oia Rooftop bar were great, friendly and talkative so we would rate them 10/10, coctails and asian food there are also great.

LuxembourgOn my second day at the pool I arrived to the pool deck to find all 6 empty beds with new rolled towels on them (there are more beds but only 6 next to the pool). The hotel staff said they were reserved and I could not take them, but when I asked how the reservation system works and why no one advised me they said there is no system and it was a special request. Not fare and I was not the only one complaining. Another couple was also not happy about it and with good reason. Smoking is apparently allowed everywhere to my surprise. So you can be in the pool and if someone next to you decides do smoke, yes, even inside the pool, that is as it seems permissable. The hotel is sea front so you have the beautiful view but also next to a very noisy road. On Saturday night I heard the motorcycles all night. The sound proof in the hotel room is not great.
The staff is very welcoming without being over intrusive. The breakfast is great. I always pre-ordered the night before but I'm not sure if it speeds up the service. Still, if you're going to a place like this normally you're in no hurry. I could choose a savory dish and a sweet dish and both didn't disappoint. Go for the eggs Benedict and the granola bowl! On the third day the waiter already came with my OJ and black coffee before I asked. And at the end of my meal he asked if I wanted an espresso, since I had one the day before. Nice touch. The rooftop and pool are great, but there are some flaws (detailed in the didn't like section). I had dinner on the hotel restaurant (ELBA) on the first night. The food and service was good and not overly priced.

UkraineHeeeey, together with my partner we stayed in this hotel for 7 days of vacation; it was very pleasant staying; the hotel looks perfect for adults, no children which is very much needed for couples which want just to relax, always clean rooms, nice conditioner, nice balcony, everything you need you can find here, perfect rooftop with marvellous pool, downstairs you have a restaurant where you can get the breakfast which I admit is the best our breakfast we tried in hotels, also if you want to try some lunch or dinner with apart payment is always available, also wanna say that the staff is very friendly and helpful, honestly the best our vacation ever, thank you guys!

GermanyThe staff? Absolute gems. Warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful — they remembered our names and even surprised us with a little welcome treat in the room. Talk about going the extra mile.✨ Speaking of the room… WOW. Spotless, spacious, and flooded with natural light. The bed felt like sleeping in a cloud, the linens were luxurious, and the bathroom was spa-level. Little details — from the scent of the sheets to the curated minibar — made it feel more like a high-end boutique apartment than just a hotel room. Breakfast? Don’t even get me started. Fresh, local, delicious — and served with a view. Every morning felt like brunch with a front-row seat to paradise.
From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The design is absolutely stunning — effortlessly blending modern elegance with cozy, welcoming vibes. Every corner looked like it was pulled straight from a design magazine (yes, we took photos in the lobby like the tourists we are, and no, we’re not sorry 😂).

United KingdomThe location isn't amazing. This isn't much of an issue because Malta is quite small so you can get taxis to pretty much anywhere on the island at reasonable prices. But this hotel isn't in a place where you can walk out to loads of shops and restaurants.
Everything was great, it is a clean and beautiful place to stay with a lovely pool area on the roof. We were told the hotel was full but there was always more than enough sunbeds free by the pool so lots of options of where to sit. There are 2 amazing restaurants in the building, one sushi place on the roof and another restaurant downstairs. The staff were all lovely, especially Mohammad, he was always on hand to help, answer questions and make our stay as perfect as possible.

We had the most wonderful stay at XVI Suites in Malta — truly a flawless experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. We were warmly welcomed by Rowsa at reception, who set the tone for our stay. She was incredibly friendly, relaxed, and informative — exactly the kind of welcome you hope for but so rarely get. Her genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. Every member of staff we encountered was brilliant, but we especially want to highlight Rathain, who took exceptional care of us each morning at breakfast and again at dinner. His attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism made every meal feel special. Speaking of meals, the Elba Restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The food was consistently delicious — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Dining there was a highlight of our trip. We genuinely cannot wait to return. This hotel, and the amazing team behind it, made our stay unforgettable. A huge thank you again to Rathain and Rowsa — you truly made our visit exceptional.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The style is modern, sleek, and everything is impeccably clean. The bathroom was absolutely stunning – spacious and beautifully designed. All the staff were exceptionally polite, friendly, and professional. A special thanks to the receptionist who went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable after an early flight and arranged for me to check in as soon as possible – truly appreciated! The location is also super convenient, with a bus stop right outside the building, making it really easy to get around. The pool area was great too, with a lovely view and a friendly bartender who made the experience even better. Breakfast was amazing – a wide selection and everything tasted fresh and delicious. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service.
