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 review- Beautiful farmhouse with a lovely pool and charming rustic décor. - Bright, sunny atmosphere with a very welcoming host. - Bedroom equipped with a mosquito net, which helped keep bugs away.
- No body wash or shampoo provided; when asked, we were told to use hand wash instead. - Air conditioning only available for an additional fee (coin machine) - The property is in a rural area, this meant that a lot of bugs were around (mainly mosquitos) - we were attacked by mosquitos every evening which was quite uncomfortable despite there being a net

Verified reviewLovely stay with amazing views! I had a wonderful time here — the views were absolutely breathtaking including the use of pool. The room was super cozy and spotlessly clean, which made it easy to relax and had the view of the garden. Plus, the location was perfect, just a short distance away from the ferry, so everything needed was close by. Overall, a great place for anyone looking to unwind in comfort and convenience. Highly recommend!
Very happy to hear always welcome back

Verified reviewPeaceful and quiet with amazing views. Very tranquil and felt homely ! The locals were very friendly and nice nature / churches surrounding the area 😁
Nothing - just double check if you want to use the hot tube as it costs extra per day.

Hi Doreen m I'm surprised how you give 2.5 on the reviews when you haven't been on the property itself ( due to over booking which was out of out control) I can understand your disappointment of how things went. while I don't understand why stuff deserve 2.5 after all the time o personally dedicated for you to support you all the way through. I feel that this review was to be addressed to the property that you actually went too. Regards Amanda & Alex

Verified reviewThis was a magical property and I enjoyed my stay so much. It is in a quiet location but very close to bus stops and about ten minute walk to the center of Nadur. I also walked from here to Ramla Bay and it was a beautiful hike of maybe 45 minutes with beautiful views. Lovely communal kitchen to use. Easy to catch the bus to other places on Gozo. Felt safe as a solo female traveler. Beautiful gardens and the best views. Thank you so much for my best stay in Malta and I hope to return.
We are so Happy to Hear about your magical experience

Verified reviewLocation and views are amazing! Peaceful and quiet with views overlooking the valley all the way to the sea!! The layout is great for privacy since there are 3 separate areas with the Cottage, Penthouse and Main house having independent entrances and facilities. Airconditioning units were efficient and barely consumed any of the pre-loaded electricity credits. The living room turned into a picture-perfect winter's night once we turned on the fireplace.
Just one. We expected the place to be a little bit cleaner. Being an old farmhouse it is expected to be dusty but the floor, carpets, etc had crumbs and lumps of fluff, and there were quite a few cobwebs too! We also had an issue with bedsheets in one of the bedrooms, but Amanda came over in less than an hour to replace them for us.
