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 reviewThe toiletries provided were of poor quality and insufficient. The towels and the bathroom had a very strong, pungent smell.

Verified reviewThe room was lovely and clean, bed comfortable, and bathroom very amenable. The location is perfect and despite being near a very lively area, wasn't noisy from it. It's about a 5 minute walk to the Malta Experience and Fort St Elmo. I'd also highly recommend booking 'Grain' - a restaurant around the corner - it was excellent.
The walls and ceiling/floors are very thin! I could hear the tiniest noise from the person upstairs. I think they dropped a charger at one point and it sounded so loud. Don't stay here if you're a light sleeper. The other very random thing I would say is that the bedsheet was really scratchy! Maybe they're quite old and have been washed too much.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, the cleanliness was also excellent and the cooperation with the landlord was excellent. The neighborhood is perfect, quiet without any noise. The only noise was from the tenants, which was noticeable due to the lack of soundproofing.
Οur room was on the first floor. The apartment had no soundproofing at all and you could hear everything, especially from the upstairs, as if it were in our own room. You could clearly hear the conversation and everything else that was happening upstairs...

Verified reviewThe building seems to have been renewed and decorated recently, but: 1) the room was small, with no cupboard to store clothes (only a clothes rack with hangers). 2) It had a window overlooking an internal patio, from which almost no light at all entered as it was blocked by construction works scaffolding. 3) Poor ventilation made the room damp. In sum, the room was small, humid, and very dark.

Verified reviewThe location is very good. Near the republic street, food, bar, restaurant with walking distance to sliema ferry and fast ferry ports, lower barakka, upper barakka. Room is nice. Bed is very comfy. Staff is active on booking.com chat. (Not immediate response but within reasonable timing)
The ceiling is super thin that you can hear people at the upper floor walking/ moving. It is very loud. In case you are sensitive with noise, this is highly not recommended. (This is something I have read from the review as well, so I prepared the earplugs) The view from window is the outdoor area (which people could go to chill out. Not an ideal view, so most of the time I have my curtain close.)

Verified reviewΑbout breakfast: available coffee , tea ,sugar and table water.......about location: excellent location in the centre of Valletta
A smaller room than the one we thought it was...dark room with the bacony faced the open space of the building...light " on" in the morning.... Necessary hooks or hangers on the wall....only a clothing stand instead of a wardrobe.

Verified reviewLocation was great, Valletta old town is quite small and walkable. Loved having facilities such as washing machine, fridge etc. Tasteful design. Great having Netflix. Comfy bed. Good shower.
We were in room 3. Poor storage facilities. 4 coat hangers simply not enough for a six day stay-how about some hooks on the door or a bigger rail. Or bedside cabinets with drawers. The room needs a mirror. Lots of noise from room above-of the chair scraping variety-in the middle of the night. The smoking area-guests often do not shut the door and the smell often permeated the kitchen.

Verified reviewGreat location and great room, loved having the shared spaces which allowed for greater flexibility during out stay. There are restaurants, shops nearby, so you can easily find everything you need.
The hot water tank isn't huge so only one of use got a shower on the first night. Sadly long showers are out.

Verified reviewThe property was in a really good location near everything in the city of Valletta .It was really clean, the towels and linens smelled amazing!The mattress was very comfortable , really important after a long day of walking !
There was no plug in the toilet , the hot water would run out after one person showered and the insulation is really bad inside the building . You can hear people above you walking or entering the apartment from the main door ,at least there is no noise from the street because it’s not in a place with bars etc.

Verified reviewThe room was small but nice, very clean and convenient with a great bathroom. There was just a tiny balcony with no view outside the building. There was very good internet and netflix. The location was very convenient and safe, near the city center (5 minutes max) and many restaurants and cafes.
The insulation was terrible. We stayed at the 1st floor and could hear almost everything happening in the room above ours which was really annoying during the night. Actually, the room walls are not made of strong materials.
