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 reviewApartment was clean and well equiped, lots of parking places near by and great bonus was the pool, especially for kids. The location is very quiet, and everything is easily accessible from it. The host was very helpful and kind allowed us to check in earlier, which was wonderful after a very early flight. I definitely recommend it — my family and I had a great time.
Thanks so much for your kind words and so glad you enjoyed it. much love sibyel xx

Verified reviewThe apartment was beautiful. Very modern and very clean. The private pool with bbq and waterfall was a lovely addition. The location was great, the price was also amazing in reflection. It felt like nothing was too much for the host, even though we were a bit of a pain arriving early...she even helped us with bag storage and let us know of the market that was on. Can't wait to come back, already looking at booking.
Nothing

Verified reviewThe host was very kind and friendly. Marsaxlokk is a nice little village and visiting Sunday Market can't be missed when in Malta. There was a washing machine and pool towels. I guess it can be an OK place to stay for a night, but not for 9 nights as we did.
The appartment is in the basement, with little light, bad smell, and no air-conditioning in the living room (only in bedroom and you have to pay extra). The pool area doesn’t belong to the apartment. You have to go outside, on the street, up the stairs to access it. It is in front of the host's apartment, it has cameras and it does not feel private. The pool is almost always shaded with freezing cold water. The place is noisy. You will be awake at night every time a car passes by on the road. Beds were uncomfortable, especially the sofa bed in the living room. The pillows were so old. The pots and pans in the kitchen desperately need replacing. The host changed towels once in our 9 night stay, but did not offer changing bed sheets. The place was difficult to keep tidy (white tiles in the bathroom was a nightmare). The apartment has only on bedroom, which is inconvenient.
Dear Anna, We are very sad that you were not completely satisfied about your stay. I would like to clarify something and maybe give you a recommendation next time you travel. I suggest that you read the information carefully about the accommodation before you decide to book. On our listing it clearly states that the air-conditioning is payable. We never mentioned that the pool is in front of the apartment and being November you don't expect the pool to be warm like summer days. We took your suggestions and changed the pots and pillows so thanks for that. No one has ever complained of the place being noisy and last but not least on our listing it states that there is one bedroom. I hope that the above was helpful regards Sibyel

Verified reviewThe host was excellent, friendly and helpful offering advice and tips throughout our stay, and was on hand when needed. Accommodation and pool areas were clean and tidy. In walking distance to local fishing village and accessible by Uber or bus everywhere else..
There is no A/C in the living room area and the fan provided was not great this could be replaced with a bigger better type.

Verified reviewThe apartment was lovely, it had everything you would need for your stay and it is only short walk into the beautiful village. Our children absolutely loved the pool! The thing that made it even better was Sibyel, what a perfect host! She was available at all times to offer help and recommendations. Sibyel made our holiday extra special with all the little touches. Highly recommended!
There was nothing we didn't like!
How sweet of you thanks so much

Verified reviewIt was a warm, clean, modern apartment with plenty of on street parking and walking distance to the harbour front. Sybal, our host was very courteous and messaged us to tell us about the Sunday market along the waterfront. If we had a question, she would answer back quickly.
The pool wasn't very clean and the plumbing was not brilliant. There was no water going to the toilet until we realised we had to turn it on. Also the shower head holder didn't hold the head very well, so it kept spinning around.

Verified reviewThe hostess is super nice. The apartment is really nice and spacious with full kitchen and large bathroom. There is a double bed and two twins in the large bedroom, and a pull out couch for two more people in the living room. We could walk to town and St. Peter's Pool and the market and bus stops from there.
There was a little temporary issue with the plumbing, but it was fixed promptly. Also, the neighbor's pump came on late at night, but that was not the fault of our hostess.

Verified reviewKey highlights: - The apartment was clean, well located and big enough for the 6 of us - The host was super nice and helpful - Marsaxlokk is beautiful - Bus stops are near by, pretty much everywhere. Easy to reach the airport, visit other cities like Valletta, etc. Just bear in mind buses are not perfectly on time (cost: 2 EUR per adult, kids were never charged) - SPAR is a 10 min walk from the apartment - There is another nice shop/bakery called Sea Coast Confectionary (highly recommended) - ST. Peters pool is a 30 min walk. You can use BOLT or UBER (it will take 7 mins or less) - Ballut ta' beach is alright, but would instead recommend Pretty Bay (approx. 12 mins by bus) - Don't buy sweets at the Marsaxlokk market, total scam
Dearest Marta thank you so much for your beautiful words. We really appreciated it. best wishes Sibyel xxxxxx

Verified reviewLocation is OK, near to St. Peter's pool and town Marsaxlokk. But to any other place, you need a car.
The house is at basement. Hot and only with a fan in the living room. It has an air-condition in the bedroom, but it charges electric fee with a machine. I really don't know how it works at the first night.
Dear Mr Jieyang, I am sorry you felt that way. In the apartment there are instructions on how to use the air-conditioning and moreover I would have helped if you had informed me that you didn't find the way how to use it. Also on your booking it clearly states that the air-conditioning is at a charge. Wishing you a nice day regards
