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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomIt is unbelievably hard to find anything to improve with the hotel. Initially I noticed there were no safes in the room, but I've not felt uneasy leaving belongings there and always felt safe.
The hotel is exceptional in every way. Fantastic views and positioning, the facilities are incredible and throughout we've been impressed with the high calibre of the staff and service throughout. We're on our last day and I'm already looking when we can book next. The positioning of the hotel is perfect, close accessibility to St Paul's Bay, and a short uber to Medina and Valetta!

CyprusThis is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed out .. so relaxing with the most beautiful and relaxing pools and views .. food was great , staff friendly , even the hotel playlists were great ! Our only feed back is that the hotel sunbeds aren’t the best and a bit uncomfortable but the rooms were gorgeous and the bed super comfy with great water pressure and access to Netflix and Amazon prime .. thank you so much

United KingdomThe hot tub was a little bit noisy during the night, but not much you can do about that! I also think that our balcony was easily big enough to get a couple of sun loungers on, and it would have been a big benefit!
The hotel is fantastic, with beautiful views stretching over the bay, an amazing infinity pool on the roof, a lovely restaurant and an unusual and interesting indoor pool in a cave. The room itself was exceptional, a very large balcony with the best view and the hot tub perfectly located next to the bedroom and with views out to sea. The bed was comfortable and the room was a great size. The shower was also great. There was also a small outdoor area on the bottom floor with access to swim in the sea. Food and drink was relatively inexpensive and there was a good selection. Everything felt considered and finished to a high quality.

CroatiaI recently stayed at Damare Resort and Spa and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The hotel offers excellent facilities, ensuring a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay. My room had everything I needed for a relaxing holiday — thoughtfully designed, well-equipped, and impeccably clean. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the staff. From the reception to the restaurant, every member of the team was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and attentive.

AustriaEverything was great if their is one thing to mention the restaurant of the resort is okay but not great same as the breakfast. The food is a little boring and the eggs at breakfast are sometimes cooked too long and othertimes not cooked long enough.
The rooms and view is amazing also both pools (Roof and Indoor) are great and all the staff is friendly.

BelgiumHonestly, there was nothing we didn’t like. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.
We absolutely loved our stay! The staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The location couldn’t be better, close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. The pool was gorgeous and the views were just stunning. It really felt like a little piece of paradise! We didn’t want to leave.

AustraliaThere is not much around the hotel as far as shops or other restaurants options without taking transport.
Everything was exceptional. The staff were friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The property & rooms are clean & comfortable. I highly recommend Damare Resort & Spa for a quiet relaxing escape.

Everything from start to finish. Cannot recommend Damare Resort enough. The staff are incredibly welcoming, professional and friendly. A very special thank you to Mickey on reception. He really went above and beyond to help us out with anything we needed. He is an absolute gem 💎 and a huge asset to the hotel. Breakfast every morning was so good and the selection to choose from was very impressive. The cave pool is incredible and the rooftop bar and swimming pool were definitely the highlight of the hotel. We will most definitely be back to Damare on our next visit to wonderful Malta. The only negative to our stay was having to leave.

United KingdomNo real negatives.
Despite it being further out from the main St Paul’s Bay Area than we initially thought; the location became a positive, as it is a truly unique boutique resort experience. The restaurants and choice of food, access to two pools and the sea, made this hotel the star of our Malta holiday.
