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 reviewWell located, convenient for reaching Valletta. A French hostess was very attentive and did her best to help us, and the rooftop bar on the top floor was pleasant, with a welcome drink offered upon arrival.
Terrible stay. We were supposedly upgraded, but the room was much worse than the one we had booked: tiny, in a building under renovation, stifling at 35°C despite the air conditioning, and we couldn’t get the original room we reserved. Nothing like the photos. The “sea view” actually faced a very noisy road, making a full night’s sleep impossible. We had requested a double bed but received two single beds, despite repeatedly complaining to reception. Hygiene was appalling: stains on the bedding, mold in the bathroom, and tobacco on the floor. The pool, independent of the hotel and open to everyone for a fee, was overcrowded, noisy, dirty, with boiling water, and no sunbeds available. The breakfast was awful: industrial, frozen, and dry. Terrible value for money: €500 for 3 nights for two people for such inadequate services. Absolutely avoid.

Verified reviewthe positive side, the hotel’s partnership with Aqualuna across the street was a great bonus. Entrance was included, and even on our departure day (with a late flight), we were offered free entry again, luggage storage, and even a shower at the hotel to freshen up before leaving. The staff were very kind and helpful – a special thanks to Mister Antonio and Francesca for their hospitality.
We stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. We booked a standard room, which we knew wouldn’t have a balcony, but what we didn’t expect was that it had no windows at all. This was very disappointing. The room was also quite noisy – we could hear fireworks going on through the night – and it lacked basic amenities such as hooks for hanging clothes. The wardrobe only had fixed hangers, which made it impractical. The view from the breakfast area was much better than the food itself. The elevators were extremely slow, and sometimes only one of the two was working. We also couldn’t connect to the TV Wi-Fi despite following the instructions. We called the reception, who promised to send maintenance, but no one ever showed up, and we were too tired to follow up.

There was 3 or 4 power cuts in one day. Apparently it’s quite common in Malta but nothing major.

Verified review115 hotel is great. It's located right next to the beach club Aqua Luna which has free entrance to hotel guests. The rooms are spacious, and the hotel entrance is nice and welcoming.
I stayed in this hotel a couple of times and unfortunately, this time, the cleaning level of the bathroom was pretty low. In addition, the breakfast isn't great and you're better off getting it elsewhere. The strange rules about who gets to have breakfast upstairs and who downstairs make no sense. According to reception - if you have view from your room then you don't get access to the upstairs breakfast area which has amazing view. Sadly, 'view' in their case is also when your balcony is directly in front of another hotel balcony.

The rooms were tiny and smelt damp. Didn't live up to the advertised imagery. We had to pay at check-in, which I found weird.

Verified reviewWe were originally booked into 115 The Strand, but were offered a free upgrade to the new Regional Hotel, and it was absolutely worth it! A brand new hotel with beautiful rooms! It was super clean, and the staff could not do enough to help across both hotels! They were very accomodating and helpful. You have free access to the pool, Aqualuna, which is about a 10-minute walk from the Regional. It is a nice pool, but it does get very busy. The a la carte breakfast was exceptional, and the location of the hotel means there are plenty of options for meals in the evenings! It is also easy to get around the island from where the hotel is situated. There is a small shop directly next door to the hotel, which is handy. We were a family of 10, over 4 rooms, and we can not thank everyone at the Regional and 115 The Strand for everything they did during our stay!
The beds were new, so they were quite hard, and we found the pillows too soft, but that's preference. The hotels location does not give you the most 'scenic views' from the rooms, but you can see the harbour from the rooftop pool! There is no bar or restaurant in the hotel as yet. If hiring a car, parking around the hotel can be a bit hit and miss, but we always managed to get one, albeit if it was a short walk from the hotel.
