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 reviewEverything was literally outside your door. Restaurants, shops, and bar. We really enjoyed the rooftop area. Fantastic barbecue, I really enjoyed cooking fresh fish from the market. The host was very helpful with everything. The house has everything you need. There were even USB charging points next to the bed. We really enjoyed our stay at this property, and Malta, of course.

Verified reviewThis house is right next to the harbour. You have the whole place for yourself. There is also a nice terrace overlooking the harbour.
The sofa is not good for sleeping.

Verified reviewLovely apartment in the best location close to everything you need for the perfect stay. The check in is easy and communication from the host was great. Welcome pack and basics provided were thoughtful and appreciated, especially for later arrival. Lots of local information was a great help too. Marsaxlokk is such a lovely village and the people so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying here and would love to visit again hopefully soon.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at this townhouse! The place is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and even left us a lovely welcome gift, which was a nice touch. The location is great, with easy access to public transport and a beautiful marina with great restaurants nearby. One thing to keep in mind is that the air conditioning has a meter, and heating the room at night costs around 4-5 euros in winter period. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Thank you for your hospitality!

Verified reviewThe owner was very kind and helpful, thanks for that. The house is fully separated, old style but renewed, big and spacious. The location is perfect, only few steps from the waterfront, and the restaurants, bus stops. We could reach all Malta highlights with buses easily. The terraces give a nice wiew on the marina with the colorful boats. There is a small local bar in the next house, it was great to grab a beer there. Highly recommended for families like us:)
The air heating (AC) is operated by 1 euro coins, and it was annoying to collect enough every day, plus get up at the middle of the night to put to the coin counter to have heating in the house. It would be much easier to have a daily rate for it and pay with the rental fee.
Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm really glad you and your family enjoyed your stay, the house, and its location. It’s great to hear that you appreciated the spaciousness and the views from the terraces, as well as the convenience of being close to the waterfront, restaurants, and public transport. Regarding the air conditioning, I completely understand your point. To ensure more comfort, I installed two AC units, including a large one, so guests can enjoy a pleasant stay. However, to prevent unnecessary energy waste especially as electricity costs in Malta are high I introduced the coin meter to keep usage fair and sustainable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d be delighted to welcome you again in the future.

Verified reviewLocation was excellent for everything we required, near plenty of places to eat, plenty of places to walk and handy for bus services.
The apartment was next door to a bar which got very rowdy at times and we could hear all the noise through the wall, also the loud talking right outside our door when they stand there for a smoke. Cost a lot to heat the place at night with the air conditioner

Verified reviewWe had a really nice family vacation. Localisation was great, 2 steps from the promenade (with many restaurants serving sea food), and few more from the beach. House was comfy for us, clean and tidy, equipped with neceessary stuff (i would like a mop but its just me ;) )
