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.).

AustraliaOne thing that could have been improved would be replenishing the kitchen bits, such as sugar sachets and more tea choices but this is very minor and didn’t impact our stay.
The property was clean and in a really central spot. Paul the owner was really lovely and welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay.

SwitzerlandExtremely hot. Aircon was working but not cooling well the room, resulting in a hot cool room situation. It would also stop working after a few hours being on which means you d wake up at night with 29 degrees to turn it on again. Location is very central, which comes also at a cost of noise as the alley downstairs is very busy with restaurants and bars and people until very late at night. Insulation is very poor.
Top location for exploring Valletta and the island. Easy access and check in. Nice views.

United KingdomNever did get me head round the TV controls……not an issue for us, but Room 6 is on the top floor so a few sets of stairs but wherever you go in Valletta there are steps, it’s part of the charm.
Fabulous stay, it was a real find, right in the hub but far enough away to be quiet. Great position, everything within walking distance and we even found a swimming platform nearby. Pauli was a great host, highly recommend for a few days in Valetta and try the family restaurant just round the corner, Michelin recommended and the best food we eat while in Malta.

Excellent place to stay in Valletta, comfortable bed, lovely and clean with views of the harbour. Close to great restaurants including Lapira the family run restaurant, we ate there 2 nights the food is amazing and staff very friendly. Paul the owner was very friendly and helpful. We were close to the wharf to catch a fast ferry to Gozo and a traditional boat over the harbour. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to traveling back to Malta.

Paul was very supportive, he helped us with an early acommodation and also the last day we were able to leave our luggage in the property, because of a late flight. The villa is very authentic, we like very much the balcony.

ItalyWould have appreciated the shower gel instead of hand soap in the shower, but this is negligible compared to the overall stay.
The host, mr. Paul Lapira, is an excellent person. Because of some shooting of Netflix series we had to change our room during our stay. Paul gave us a better room and allowed us to stay one night more for free, that solved our issue of having to spend part of the last day/night outside, given the early morning flight. He is very kind and accomodating, the room is very comfortable, large, clean and right in the center of Valletta. Lapira is the undisputed number 1 in Malta!

AustraliaThe apartment could be noisy at night due to a number of bars and restaurants around the corner. Mostly this was over by 11pm.
The location was convenient as it was an easy walk to bus staion, ferry and local sights. We loved our enclosed window balcony and often used it for meals when we ate in the room. The apartment is in an authentic old building but is comfortable and spacious with a great bathroom, lounge, huge comfortable bed and basic cooking facilities. The AC was also great for some of the warmer evenings. We used a locked box to access the key due to a late arrival. Our host Paul was available in the mornings in person or could be contacted quickly via whatsapp.

United KingdomBetter communication required from the owner. And it would be preferable if payment was taken via the app rather than a cash request. You need to be able to lift your case up the flights of stairs as there’s no lift. Little touches of better toiletries might be nice.
Great location in the centre of town. The taxi that was organised was excellent and our driver kindly showed us in and how to store the key. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and a very good price for a one night stay. The lady that served us at checkout was lovely too.
