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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

IrelandAbsolutely nothing!!
I could not fault this hotel on one thing. From the moment we checked in with John on reception, we were greeted with lemon scented face towels to freshen up after our flight. Then we were shown to our room which was incredibly spacious, luxury pillows and duvets which allowed us to have the best nights sleep. The breakfasts each morning were exceptional with so much to choose from. The staff at breakfast were so friendly and welcoming especially Sandju Their new pool opened in Aug, a week before we arrived so there was no shortage of sunbeds which was great. Ruwan tended to our needs at the pool every day and he made some of the nicest cocktails I have ever drank!! Not forgetting Mario on Concierge, who made sure we ate at the best restaurants in Malta. Thank you to all of the team at the Marriott hotel Malta for making it such a memorable holiday, we will definitely be back

Breakfast was great- large selection of both hot and cold food, cereals, fruit, breads and cakes. The Spa and indoor pool was well designed, immaculately clean and very relaxing. Bedrooms were large and spacious with balcony and sea view. All staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that guests had everything they needed- even came round at night to check if guests needed extra towels, water etc

This was my second stay at the Marriott hotel in Malta and honestly it was so hilarious. I rent a car and even though one of the employees described how to get to the garage I couldn‘t find it. I went to the reception and asked how to get there again, as I didn‘t know what I did wrong 😄. The receptionist was so kind he took the car and drove it to the garage. We celebrated my brother‘s birthday and received the cake and wine as requested. Since that was not enough we got an upgrade as well. Dear Marriott team thank you sooo much for making our stay so wonderful! This was for sure not my last visit!

United KingdomNothing really, my only complaint would be that one day it was raining heavily so the outdoor pools weren’t ideal and children aren’t allowed in the indoor pool between 12-6pm (which we knew) but we were made to leave at 1230 but as paying guests felt that was slightly unfair especially as our child was being no trouble.
Great location, lovely helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble.

SwitzerlandThe Marriott didn’t disappoint. Professional from start to finish. Welcoming, organized and clean. The spa is spectacular and the massage for sure one of the better one I had. Also manicure and pedicure are professionally executed. Pool is big enough to spend part of the day and it incl. a pool bar serving a good selection on pool food. Super friendly staff.

United KingdomThis is only being very picky, but as the loo is separate to the main bathroom, a small sink for handwashing in the toilet area would be beneficial and more hygienic for guests. Rooms were expensive, but we did book quite late and in August!
We had a Superior Room which was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Lovely selection of items at breakfast and super quality. Staff really friendly and although they couldn't possibly know names as a smaller hotel would, we were recognised over the stay and they still made the effort to visit the table at breakfast most days and check how your stay was going. Service all very prompt. Location is fabulous - directly on Balluta Bay and just seconds from bus stops, restaurants, cafes, an excellent dive centre, small beach, bank and pharmacies and is easy to get everywhere you might want to go. It's nicely busy in the evening but certainly not clubby or noisy for those that need to know! The rooftop pool is pretty small and was busy with children so we sometimes used the peaceful indoor pool, which in the afternoons is adults-only with sauna/steam room etc. We didn't realise until later that they have a much larger outside pool just across the street (signs are by the check-in/Concierge desk) but I think this is new. All in all a really excellent stay - I wouldn't normally stay in a large hotel but we would stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

They made us an amazing surprise for our anniversary - thank you very much for this, we were totally surprised! The rooms are comfortable and clean. A breakfast buffet has an incredible range of food and drink, definitely something for everyone. The hotel has also two outdoor pools (the rooftop pool is wonderful) and one indoor.

We moved after 1 night back to our original room as we had not slept well and even though we were told we would not be charged for the extra premium for the room they still took payment - not impressed. Pool crowded and Spa needs TLC very unloved.
