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 reviewOur stay was absolutely great. We really enjoyed it. Oliver is a very nice host, he communicated with me in advance, he waited for us until the night hours in the evening, when we arrived from the airport. The next day he took care of us, gave us advice and showed us around. I can only recommend the stay.
I have nothing to complain about.

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay! Oliver provided us with beach towels, water and everything we could need. He also gave us loads of recommendations for the local area, and even let us check out late. Lastly, my friend forgot his phone at the flat and he helped put it into a Bolt to get delivered to us near the airport. Would definitely stay here again!
Nothing comes to mind.

Verified reviewThe location was amazing- you are close to both the bus stop and have a scenic walk to the bay. There is a restaraunt nearby that i would use a guide to gauge whether I was close or not. you become acquainted with the area very quickly. Oliver goes above and beyond with helping you, he even gives advice on your itinerary as sometimes extensive research needs clarification from a local’s perspective! Very warm and personable as well as the humour that shows in the design. He always offers support which was lovely especially for my first time solo travelling! I loved the interior and was in awe, my first time experiencing something so unique. If staying in Room No4, using the little light instead of the main makes it more atmospheric and since you are so close to the bay, not having a balcony was a problem for me as I preferred the spacious room instead. The perfect boutique hotel for my short stay in Malta.

The location of the 1930s Maltese Residence is also perfect - lovely restaurants and coffee places nearby, bus stop right around the corner and the waterfront just a few steps away - and, yet, the room is quiet and peaceful Just perfect!

Verified reviewI only experienced my room on the first floor & the lobby but it seemed an interesting old Maltese home in which Oliver has created something between a museum and art gallery. My room was comfortable & quiet.
One could make suggestions, but bottom line the house and its owner are charming, the location is good, and the room is good value.

Verified reviewThe decor,memorabilia and furnishings make this a truly interesting and comfortable place to stay away from the centre of St Paul’s but close enough to enjoy what the area has to offer.
Nothing really to not like.
