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 reviewVery good location, despite the "entertainment" district it was quiet and peaceful. Good base for trips to Valetta, Three cities etc. We returned from Valetta on foot, I highly recommend. Clean, well-kept room, what more could you want.

Verified reviewwe don't had brekfast in the hotel, but his location is very good because it's near at the pubs for drink or eat and at the stops bus if you want to go to visit other cities.
Everything was very nice, although only one person on the entire staff could speak Italian.

Verified reviewGood location, with great connection via Ross station to Valetta and the airport; very good value for the price; spacious room, good shower; everything is still rather new; staff is helpful with directions and leaving the baggage after checkout
Breakfast rather limited and the salamis/cold cuta were not tasty at all (the tuna rolls and the cheeses are the best part of breakfast); there was a strange smell from the AC unit, maybe because it was not used for some time as it was not yet warm enough

Verified reviewThe staff were very helpful and friendly. The facilities & room were very clean. The breakfast was of a very good standard & catered for all tastes & the 4 hour slot for this was very flexible.
The building work close by commenced at 7am -so not good if you wanted a lie in. Whilst the hotel is situated on a side street, St Julians was a little hectic for us.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was really good although if you stay for a longer time it can become a bit boring, because they prepare almost the same breakfast every day. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel located in a busy area and it is very close to public transport hubs.
My room on the 10th floor was very good, clean and comfortable but the wind made a noise around the windows which was a bit disturbing during the night.

Verified reviewBreakfasts were the same each day with a few things to choose. I would prefer to pay more for it and have more options. I missed rye bread.

Verified reviewSuper cosy bed, clean and modern decor and great amenities. Just off the busy main road so a little quieter. Just minutes away from restaurants, supermarkets and shopping areas. Breakfast was very lovely, nice variety. Staff were very friendly and helpful (shout out to Juan 🙂🖐🏻 always smiling) Would definitely stay again, really enjoyed my stay.
The room layout/shape was a little unusual and I caught my hip between the bed and desk corner a couple of times due to lack of space and ended up with bruises... maybe move the bed a couple of ft towards the balcony. (Room 103)

Verified reviewJuan on the Front Desk was very helpful, polite and professional. Very large room and bigger bathroom. Very clean and all aspects of the room met my expectations. The outside sitting area for the room was a nice and unexpected touch. Didn't expect views as I know the location. Great location for a hotel where you want to be in the middle of a lot of activity, but just far away enough not to know that you are. So big tick ion the box.

Verified reviewThe location was great. Exactly at the centre and close to everything. The receptionist was immensely polite and helpful.
I needed to put the WiFi password again and again because it kept logging out every time I locked the phone screen which was very inconvenient. Also, choosing an adult only hotel means you prioritise peace and relaxation which we didn’t find very much because there was a lot of noise from the other rooms till the first am hours. (I think there was a young athlete team). Finally, the worst thing is that the cleaning assistants were literally yelling and laughing loud while cleaning the other rooms on the floor and woke us up at 9am. I had to walk outside and ask them to be more silent.
