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 reviewThe apartment is rather spacious, each bedroom is an en-suite so as not having to shared in a big group of guests. Check-in and check-out is straightforward and the host provided enough cookery and cutlery for my group of 11 guests. The host is very approachable via messages.
The bathrooms lack active ventilation (fan) to extract water vapour out of them and therefore the floors can be very slippery after showers. Some bathroom and bedroom doors expanded and therefore they did not fully open or shut comfortably; the bottoms scraped the floor and the doors themselves caught the frame. One shower head was leaky and water poured out to the side. The property overall needs better maintenance. Parking could be a nuisance. There was free parking on the roads but I had to drive around for available slots. My group came in 3 separate cars and it was a hard work looking for parking. There was Bolt/Uber taxis but we wanted to drive around Malta so rental cars were required.
Dear Carl, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you found the apartment spacious and enjoyed the convenience of en-suite bedrooms. We're glad the check-in and check-out process met your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your stay, including the issues with ventilation, doors, and the leaky shower head. We're committed to making improvements based on your valuable input to enhance the overall guest experience. Regarding the parking, we gave you information about it. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.

Dear Stama, Thank you for your review and words about our home. We really appreciate it. We apologize for that unfortunately in Malta bugs are common everywhere due to the warm weather our island enjoys. We are very proactive on this matter as we spray with insect killer on a regular basis. if you had let us know when you were staying, we could come and spray again with insect killer at your convenience. It was our pleasure to host great guests like you and we hope to host you again anytime in the future

Verified reviewApartment is large, can fit a few families - if you are traveling with company. It has a large living room with an extra large smart TV. Kitchen is well equipped. A/C everywhere. Large terrace with table and barbecue. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom with everything - shower/sink/toilet. Bedrooms are also equipped with smart TVs. Hosts are very responsive and caring - even brought us a welcome package and let us leave our luggage the last day for longer time. Apartment is very clean. Located in a quiet area - good for rest. If I ever come back to Malta - this is the place I would choose again.
Furniture is a bit worn. Some drains were clogged but could be easily fixed. Bedrooms could use darker/blackout curtains. Bed in room 1 will be much more comfortable with a top mattress - to avoid sitting on the wood frame of the bed.
Dear Maria, We appreciate your 10 rates and positive reviews. It was our pleasure to host great guest like you. We hope to see you again.
