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.).

PolandThe room and the hotel wasn't bad, although it was old and a bit shabby. The place really needs some renovation. The view from the room was quite disappointing too.
It was really quiet and peaceful, we had a really good night sleep. The beds were quite comfortable and the place was rather clean. Breakfast was ok. Overall the place would be ok for a couple of nights.

United StatesAt first I was disappointed with the breakfast due to the absence of eggs but, in retrospect, after 12 days of protein deprivation in Italy, the breakfast at the Harbour Lodge was pretty good. My primary complaint is the tiny sink and the very claustrophobic shower in the bathroom. The sink was the smallest I've ever seen, making it impossible to keep the bathroom floor dry.
At first I thought that the location was horrible because it was in the middle of a construction zone and the taxi couldn't even find a way to get there. But much of that sorted itself out while I was there once the roads were repaved. The lodge is just a few minutes walk from the fishing harbor, which is why most people go to Marsaxlokk to begin with. There are several good restaurants along the harbor. If you are planning to use Marsaxlokk as a base for visiting Valletta, as I was, it is not a good location. Too much time is spent on buses going back and forth, a journey that can take up to two hours depending upon what is happening traffic-wise in Valletta. Valletta is a wonderful city, so if that is your destination, do yourself a favor and stay there.

United KingdomWi-fi a bit intermittent. Couple of very minor problems (that we didn't bother the staff with and perhaps could have got resolved) eg the sink plug did not seal, the couple of times we tried the TV could not get anything except local stations. It was absolutely NOT their fault it was very noisy with roadworks just down the road and building work going on in the building opposite, though it did make use of the terrace less inviting!
Location was great, just a couple of hundred metres from the seafront and close to a couple of small shops and bus stops (for the excellent public bus service). Room was quite small and basic but comfortable enough and staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast also quite basic but an unexpected bonus as we hadn't expected it to be included at all. Pickup and drop off to the airport being included was a useful touch.

SloveniaThere was a huge mold stain on the ceiling. Sink in the bathroom is very, very small.
Staff was really nice and helpful. We took the transfer they offer from airport to hotel at 10pm which was a huge advantage for us. Location to explore Marsaxlokk and to get to bus station is perfect. We could also leave our luggage last day after check out and picked it up in the afternoon.

AustraliaUncomfortable bed with old pillows, bathroom wasn’t that clean, basic breakfast without many options, very noisy due to road works so no problem of the hotel. We waited around half an hour to check in as there was nobody manning reception. On our last night, there was a big black out that wasn’t sorted out for half an hour or an hour. Wifi only worked sometimes. Smelled in the room a bit.

AustriaThe fact that there was no one at the reception to ask for information or advice, although the owner was very responsive to the messages I was sending him through booking. com was disappointing. Although the hotel seem to be relatively newly opened, it felt a bit shabby to me and the humidity inside the bathroom was unbearable, as the cockroaches that kept creeping from the shower foset now and then.
The fact that it was conveniently located very close to the main drag in town and that it included the taxi ride from and to the airport at no extra cost made it a good deal after all. The room I had was facing the inner courtyard which made it nice and quiet, which I appreciated.

United KingdomRoom rather cramped but ok for a single occupant. It had a double bed but the room was too small for two people. There was nowhere to put a suitcase. There was a very large wardrobe. A smaller one together with a small table and chair would have made better use of the space. Bed linen was clean but had seen better days. The Shower fitting was broken and had to be hand-held. The Handbasin was really small. There was no one there who spoke English when I arrived early. It would have been nice to have had a table and chairs on the balcony.
Good position near the harbour and bus stop. Easy parking. Good breakfast. The staff were helpful. The small balcony had a view of the sea. The air-conditioning was good.

AustraliaNobody at reception when the check in time started, seems to possibly be run from a distance, hard to get in contact with property via booking messaging. no power socket near mirror for using hairdryer. No working lights near bed. Shower-head had no wall attachment so you can’t stand under it to shower, you have to use it like a hose and put it down.
It was comfortable, free breakfast, free airport transfer. All staff were really nice. Great location to Marsaxlokk harbour, St Peter’s Pool and Pretty Bay.
