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 reviewWhat an absolute gem of a place! So good I almost hesitate to share with the world as I would love to keep it to myself. The care and love that has gone into this please is obvious in every little detail; from breakfast to the rooms and pool area.

Verified reviewWe recently stayed at this B&B and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience. The whole place looks so modern, fresh, and beautifully decorated, yet still feels cozy and welcoming. Everything was spotless—honestly one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed in, which made us feel completely relaxed and at ease. The real highlight, though, was the hosts. They were truly amazing—so friendly, warm, and always willing to go out of their way to help us with anything we needed. You can really tell they put so much love and care into running the B&B, and it makes such a difference. We also loved the peaceful atmosphere and how comfortable everything felt, from the rooms to the shared spaces. Every little detail seemed carefully thought out, which made our stay feel extra special. Overall, it was just perfect: a modern, clean, and stylish place hosted by the loveliest people. We left feeling so happy and already talking about when we could come back. If you’re thinking about booking, do it—you won’t regret it!

Verified reviewBeautifully decorated place. Owner was friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the garden was very enjoyable. Pool area is small (just as photos show), but relaxing. We had the room with the jacuzzi bath, which was so dreamy to lay in and look out at the view. Absolutely loved it and would definitely come back here!

Verified reviewThis place exceeded our expectations. The hosts, Matthew and Clementa are very welcoming and accommodating. We were assisted with everything we requested. The place was super clean, the location was great - close to Rabat and at the same time quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was also great and the coffee was amazing :) 10 points go to the coffee machine (great choice). We loved everything in our room, very spacious, the bed was very comfortable, too. We will surely visit the Carob tree again! Thank you for everything :)

Verified reviewA superb property with wonderful owners. We felt really well looked after. Especially as I need a gluten free diet. The owners made sure that I had nice gluten free bread for my breakfast every day. The room was really comfortable and quiet for good nights sleep. Certainly would recommend this property to anyone staying on Gozo.
