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 reviewTumas is a host of a lifetime. He’s the gem of Gharb. From the moment we got to Gozo he was there to help us. He went above and beyond for us. Tumas was able to tell us so much about Gozo including local amenities and attractions along with great knowledge of the history of Malta. The villa is beautiful with huge ceilings, magnificent decor and a huge pool where we spent most of our time. Modern A/C in every room, a well stocked traditional kitchen where we shared many meals and conversations, and clean refreshing bathrooms. The location is quiet and peaceful with amenities all within a few minutes walk. The villa itself is tucked away. There is a restaurant 30 seconds away at the end of the lane where the villa is situated and a lovely local pub and restaurant called Gharb Rangers just a minutes walk away full of history and tradition. We will absolutely return to Dar ta’ Tumas again. Tumas, thank you! From Tara Patrick Holly and Dannan!

Verified reviewLovely host. We enjoyed the location with some nice walks and cafes etc nearby. Artisan outlets within walking distance with very nice cakes and coffee plus various workshops. Easter lights being put out were very attractive. Lots of things to see, on Gozo. Very nice pool but a bit chilly in late March.
Parking access was a bit challenging. Only suitable for small vehicles down very narrow lane. Fortunately the Opel Corsa I hired could just make it. Beds were a little on small side but ok for us small people.
Hi James, Thank you for your review, much appreciated. Thomas.

Verified reviewThe host was very nice and helpful. The place was very clean and you could find everything you need. The AC is included in the price. The pool area is spacious and lovely. Very private and quiet place. We enjoyed it very much.
We had 2 out of 3 nights with the power cut off.. certainly not the host's fault and he did his best to help out. However, the place should be more prepared for such emergencies, such as an emergency light, torches, candles and matches.

Verified reviewThe house is next to the church and the bells ring all night. The beds were not comfortable, the double bed is only 160cm wide.
Hi Kamila, The house is in the center of the village, not the bells ring all night, it's the clock of the church. The beds are old traditional Maltese style and the mattresses it hasn't been too long that I changed them. Regards, Thomas.

Verified reviewThe property was great, nice and spacious and the pool area was lovely. Thomas, the host was super helpful and friendly, very responsive over messages and helped us with taxis and car hire. The area of Gharb is very peaceful and we saw hardly any other tourists during our stay there which gave us a nice authentic feel for the area. The church bells do ring nearby 24 hours a day, but after a couple of days we got used to them! Overall a fantastic stay and I would recommend Thomas’ properly 😊

Verified reviewGreat location. Bus stop near by, shop near by. Pool was a great size but freezing. We used it once and opted not to get in again because it was cold. However the outside space in general was wonderful. Large kitchen with everything you need. Hosts were so helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend
Bathrooms were a little dated but in keeping with the rest of the property.
