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 reviewHotel was beautiful and so was our room. Each room has a balcony, which is great. Everything was clean, we were provided with enough coffee capsules, the pool was amazing and the staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful! I would absolutely reccommend this hotel.

Verified reviewThe room has been nicely renovated. Close to a bus stop. Friendly staff.
It is not suitable for a longer stay as the room was not equipped with a cupboard with shelves. Breakfast was average with limited options.
Dear Jaroslav, Thank you for your review and for highlighting our renovated rooms, convenient location, and friendly team. We’re sorry to hear that the lack of shelving and cupboard space did not fully meet your expectations, and we’ll certainly take this into consideration for future improvements. Your comments regarding breakfast are also noted as we continue working on enhancing our offering. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again.

Verified reviewI stayed here for 6 nights and overall had a great experience. The hotel is very good and the staff are extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised that they allowed me to check in early without me even requesting it — they noticed I was arriving ahead of schedule and accommodated me right away, which was amazing. My room was comfortable and cleaned daily, which I really appreciated. The breakfast was tasty and good quality, but the selection was exactly the same every day — after 5 days it felt repetitive. The pool and gym are both small, but perfectly fine for a quick swim or workout. Location-wise, St. Julian’s is convenient for exploring Malta, but it’s worth noting that this area is popular with young partygoers. At night, the surrounding streets can be noisy, dirty, and sometimes smell of urine — of course, this is not the hotel’s fault, but something I wish I had known before booking.
Inside the hotel, the walls are quite thin, so you can sometimes hear other guests in the corridor or if they play loud music. As the area attracts many young visitors, this can mean being woken up late at night or early in the morning when people return from parties. There were also a couple of small downsides in my room: occasionally (about 5 times during my stay) there was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and the towels had a slightly bad odour, as if washed together with other laundry. All these points are relatively minor, but they do explain why I’m rating it 9/10 instead of a perfect score. With a few small improvements, it could easily be a 10/10 stay — as everything else, especially the service, was excellent.
Dear Bernardo, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thorough and balanced review following your 6-night stay with us. We’re truly delighted to know that your overall experience was a great one and that our team left a strong impression with their warm welcome and attentive service — especially being able to check you in early without you needing to ask. Your kind words mean a lot to us and will certainly be shared with the entire team. We’re also pleased to hear that you found your room comfortable, appreciated the daily housekeeping, and enjoyed the quality of our breakfast offerings. That said, we appreciate your feedback regarding the repetition in the breakfast selection over a longer stay. This is a point we will certainly take into consideration as we continue working on diversifying our breakfast options to better suit longer-staying guests. Regarding the location and surrounding nightlife, you are absolutely right — while the vibrancy of St. Julian’s is a draw for many, we do understand it may not suit everyone, particularly light sleepers or those seeking a quieter atmosphere. We're actively working on implementing further soundproofing measures and encourage any guest experiencing noise disturbances to reach out to our team, who are always happy to assist with alternative room arrangements whenever possible. We’re sorry to hear about the occasional odour issue in the bathroom and the towels not meeting expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for this. We have already addressed this with our housekeeping and maintenance departments to ensure these matters are investigated and rectified immediately. Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us maintain high standards and continuously improve. Once again, thank you for your detailed insights and your generous 9/10 rating. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future — and should you choose to return, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly so we can ensure your next stay is a flawless 10/10 experience. Warm regards, Firas & Team Hotel Manager

Verified reviewThe cleanliness, location, friendly staff, very close to various restaurants, pubs, shopping malls, swimming spots and public transport. I stayed in the junior suite, it was spacious, clean, with 2 big bathrooms, towels were changed regularly, at night it was quiet and staff was very helpful. I would especially like to thank Larkin and Vanesa. Taking the cab from the hotel to various locations was also very convenient. I would definitely come back to this hotel.
Dear Kevin, Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that your stay in the Junior Suite was both relaxing and enjoyable.

Verified reviewLocation is good. Staff are great. Beds are comfy.
No hot water to shower in the morning. That was terrible. I was in January. The hotel is probably designed for July. No desk or chair in the room. Just bed, nothing else . The total size of the breakfast buffet is 2 meters. The scrambled eggs are terrible, so you have to eat boiled.
Dear Mile, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated our location, staff, and comfortable beds! We sincerely apologize for the issue with the hot water—this is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we will be looking into what may have caused it to ensure it does not happen again. Regarding the room setup, most of our rooms do include a chair, but due to the nature of their size, some are equipped only with a desk to maximize space and functionality. If a chair is essential for your comfort, please let us know for any future stays, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference. Our continental breakfast offers a variety of options to cater to different tastes, but we’re sorry to hear that the scrambled eggs did not meet your expectations. We will certainly share your comments with our team to improve where possible. We truly appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future.
