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.).

RomaniaThe staff was very friendly and nice. They gave us directions and recommendations. The position of the property is just excellent, and you definitely need to spend some time on the terrace. We realised only on our last night that we could have spent more time there and enjoy a glass of wine. Everything was just perfect! Special thanks to Ian, thank you for your hospitality!

United KingdomVery clean and tastefully refurbished throughout. The room had air-con which was a lovely bonus. The walk in shower was beautiful and worked well. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and very tasty, to suit both British and continental visitors. Best of all was the very friendly and personal service received by the staff and especially Michael, the owner who was exceptional. We would highly recommend Hotel Duncan and look forward to returning another time.

United KingdomMichael the host and his son Ian, couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The place itself is immaculately clean with daily room cleaning and fresh towels. Excellent air conditioning as well! Breakfast was excellent with the usual fruit, cold meats, cheese, juices etc. plus, if you prefer a cooked breakfast of pancakes, omelette, bacon, eggs, sausage etc Ian will happily cook what you like - I'd give the Maltese black pudding a miss though :) Ideally located just a few metres from the harbour and all restaurants/shops/church/bus stops/taxi rank.

United KingdomOnly down side was a bit noisy from the street with open windows, I prefer to turn the Air-con off. But thats how a busy village sounds like. With closed windows it was ok.
It was easy to find, very good location. 15mins from the Airport. Easy access to other places on foot, by car or by bus. Valletta 35mins by bus. Shops, restaurants, ice cream shop, church, boat hire, beach and more right next to it or near by. Nicely refurbished, modern, very clean. Lovely helpful staff. Very generous breakfast with lots of choices, nice, clean breakfast room. Beautiful view from the roof terrace.

IrelandThere was nothing not to like.
We were warmly welcomed by the very helpful and cheerful host, Michael. The place is spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious, well equipped, quiet, and very comfortable. It is very well situated close to the town, shops, and restaurants. Michael recommended an excellent restaurant directly across from the accommodation, 'Azure Bistro', which served excellent food. We also really enjoyed, 'Pretty Beach' just a 10 min bus ride away. It was a good sun and swimming spot, with loungers for hire. The buffet breakfast was very fresh, with plenty of choice and hot food to order. All in all, we had an excellent stay and would highly recommend it!

AustraliaA Perfect Stay in Marsaxlokk!! We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Duncan's Guesthouse!! From the moment we booked, the communication was exceptional — quick responses, clear instructions, and so friendly. It made planning our trip so much easier and stress-free. The service was outstanding. Michael truly goes above and beyond to ensure you feel welcome and comfortable. From helpful local tips to thoughtful touches throughout the stay, nothing was too much trouble. You can really tell they care about their guests. The room was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed. The location was also ideal - we loved the beach and the Sunday market! Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Malta. We’ll definitely be back!

GreeceEverything was really good. Nothing really to complain about. It is only recommended to close the balcony door and window at night because the noise from outside might disturb you. The sound insulation is good and there is air conditioning.
The staff is very friendly, helpful and hospitable. The hotel is very new with spacey and clean rooms that have all amenities. From the balcony, you can have a nice view of the port. The breakfast is also good and the staff takes care of the guests a lot. Very pleasant two-night stay! We could easily find parking and just next to the hotel there is a market and opposite a pharmacy. Nearby there are many restaurants and cafes.

Michael is a great host. He really takes care of his guests, he is kind and very helpful. The house and rooms are clean, comfortable. It's a place where you can feel like in your home. Location of the apartment is a big asset, every attraction of Marsaxlokk is pretty close, and it's a great base for a "longer journey". Breakfast were really good, trust me - you wake up and immediately start to think about scramble eggs with bacon :)
