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 KingdomThe pool in the pictures is across the street, not a massive issue as you get free access, but just an FYI. It's open to the public and massively busy, but there is a very small rooftop pool. The sewage smells coming up from the drain in the bathroom was very bad, unsure if it was just an issue in our room but we did advise them to have a look. TV also did not work as a smart TV, for those that might like a bit of TV before bed, so bring an HDMI cable or Chromecast etc.
Great location, nice spacious room, very clean! Staff was very friendly :)

ItalyI had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive—they truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

EstoniaThe selection of TV channels was limited – I would have liked to see more English-language channels.
The room was clean (room was cleaned daily), cozy, and had everything needed for a longer stay. The location was excellent – everything essential was nearby, and public transportation was convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The room is spacious with comfortable bed and the location seems ideal for exploring Malta. There is a bus stop very close to the hotel to go to Valletta and you can walk to St. Julian. There is also a vintage bus that takes you to Rabat/Mdina. Ms. Ivana at the reception was very kind and gave us useful tips for exploring Malta.

United KingdomSmell of drains, kept bathroom door shut. View from balcony. Drunk late night revellers returning 3, 4 and 5 in the morning shouting loudly although these aren’t fault of hotel just unfortunate for us.
Good location, close to Lido, bars and restaurants. Short walk to ferry and boat trips. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of hot water, large shower area. Air con worked well. Staff were all good especially the reception staff. First deluxe double room we were given was small with no balcony but they managed to swap us to another room which was much bigger with a small balcony however this looked straight over to scaffolding and building work so only opened the door to let fresh air in.

The accommodation was modern and spotlessly clean. The spacious room was a lovely surprise — smartly designed and thoughtfully equipped. Nothing was missing.

AustraliaGreat spot on the outskirts of Sliema - easy walk to bus stop and ferry to remain well connected to the rest of the island! Staff were lovely from the get go, and were happy to help with recommendations and arranging tickets to Aqualuna which we were pleasantly surprised were included with our stay. The room itself was spacious, comfortable and well equipped for what we needed during our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again on future visits to the area!
