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 reviewThe accommodation was beautiful, clean and exactly as pictured on booking.com. The host Joseph was very pleasant, he even offered to pick us up from the airport and take us to the accommodation, which we appreciated. He explained everything to us and gave us tips on trips, restaurants, transport... I definitely recommend this accommodation.

Verified reviewThis was absolutely amazing stay, couldn’t recommend more. The apartment was clean, very beautiful, even more beautiful than in the pictures. Close to the sea and to the city, the bus stop is (literally) in front of the door. What was spectacular - the hosts, they are the most kindnest people ever, showed us the city, reccomended us the places we should visit, checked on us during the stay if everything is okay, explained how everything (buses, shops etc) works, drove us to the airport and even prepared some refreshments for us. We are definitely coming back, we loved this place. Thanks to the Joseph and his wife - you made our stay incredible.

Verified reviewThe host offered a transfer service at a reasonable price. Originally we were planning to use public transport from the airport to the apartment but we changed our minds last-minute because our flight had a massive delay and we arrived late at night. The host was very flexible and he had no problem with picking us up at the airport.; The bus stop is right outside the building so it was easy to catch the bus to all the other cities. The apartment was very clean and the hosts were super nice - we got maps, recommendations on food, restaurants, sights, etc. The apartment is huge - we were only 2, so it was really comfortable at a great price. The hosts even thought about the sockets that are different in Malta (than in most of Europe) and they gave us network converters so we could charge phones, etc. We also got a "welcome basket" full of basic food like milk, bread, etc. which was very-very apreciated, as we arrived late at night and it was great that we didn't have to start the morning with shopping for breakfast. By the way, there are several shops in the area, 4-5 minute away on foot, we could get all the necessary stuff there. The beach is also really close and worth a visit.
The water flowing in the pipes are a bit loud especially at night (one could hear when the neighbor flushed the toilet) - but it didn't bother us _that_ much. Buses are sometimes a little early or a little late, so it is better to get to the bus stop 7-10 min earlier - this has nothing to do with the hosts or the apartment, I just wanted to share our experience because it might be useful for other tourists.

Verified reviewIt was a pleasure from the first moment: the hosts offered airport shuttle, even though the flight was after midnight. We did receive a welcome gift as well. The hosts sent detailed information about the islands and what to do in Malta. They were really friendly and communicative. The accommodation is in a great location, bus stop and shops are nearby, the nearest sandy beach is in 5 minutes walk. The apartment is well equipped, the rooms are big, and there are a lot of storage options. It was nicely clean, and well maintained, everything was like in the pictures. We highly recommend choosing them.
