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 reviewIt like a fairy castle. House with its own history. Old but modern. Good smell. Never have been stayed in the same house before. All was on the first class level. Friendly hosts, as I visited my lovely mom and dad. Big and clean swimming pool and good WiFi near it too. Good breakfast and coffee

Verified reviewIt's a very cosy and atmospheric place with a big swimming pool, garden, beautiful entrance gate, and the most important, the host - Violet, she was like a grandmother to cook breakfast, to help with any issue, to talk to and to suggest where to go and what to visit etc. You will feel like you are staying at your relatives in a very big house and that's amazing.
There were very big ants in the room. Be aware, that a private toilet is not in all rooms when choosing a room. I didn't pay attention to that and we had a toilet separately, which wasn't a big problem for us as there were almost noone to share it with, but still it may be not always convenient
many thanks Olga you were very interesting people to meet.we live in the country and ants do come in however the day after we got rid of them. no more ants crawling.

Verified reviewIf you're looking for more than just sightseeing – if you want to connect with people and experience genuine hospitality – this is the place. For us, it was a warm, heartfelt stay we’ll remember. Thank you for everything – we wish you all the best and hope many more guests come to appreciate this wonderful place as we did! Our stay was truly special! From the start, we felt completely welcome – the host and her husband are warm, open, and incredibly hospitable. On Easter Sunday, they even invited us to meet their family and friends – a real highlight that gave our holiday such a personal touch. The beautiful garden was perfect for our young son to play in. Although the pool hadn’t opened for the season yet, it didn’t take away from our stay, as we spent our days exploring the beautiful Maltese islands anyway. Evenings at the table with the hosts felt more like spending time with friends. One night, our host prepared a delicious, lovingly made dinner for us. Our room was newly renovated, very clean, and nicely furnished. Though the private bathroom wasn’t en suite, it worked perfectly. Breakfast was served daily, and we could even take snacks for our little one. On departure day, the host’s husband kindly drove us to the airport – a wonderful end to a warm and welcoming stay.

Verified reviewWhile visiting family in Malta, I booked a 3 night stay at Ta Bertu’s farmhouse. The pool area was very welcoming. My room with a queen size bed and double bunk beds was clean and spacious for me (perhaps compact if sleeping 4). The shared bathroom was clean and good water pressure. Good variety offered daily at breakfast around the kitchen table. Best if you have a car as it is remote (for Malta). I didn’t have a car so I booked Bolt’s to travel around or got lifts from family nearby. The owners, Violet and Albert were very welcoming into their home. Violet and I shared many chats around the kitchen table and nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for a more typical Maltese experience, I highly recommend this place.
The pool area is booked for party groups during the summer season. I only had one afternoon free to enjoy the pool area but didn’t feel comfortable going with a party group there.
Thank you Rose we loved having you.hope to see you again.we do have parties in summer weekends butbut that week was ferragosto. So it is complete vacation for most of Malta however my guests are always welċome to join the party people .regards Violet

Verified review-Easy access to nearby airport if you are on car rental. Good parking available -Pool but needs a little TLC in furniture. -good breakfast, amazing coffee -room with AC and bathroom inside -Friendliness of hosts
-Pool area is rented out to big family &kids parties during weekend. While I understand it is an extra income for hosts and I rent only a room I'd like to be informed ahead about it and have a choice to agree or not as I might only want a quiet day... -Entrance through kitchen is a little inconvenient as there is a separate entrance directly to rooms that is not used.
