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.).

HungaryThe breakfast is really the same every day and it is very simple.. There is only toasts, sandwiches, same cold cuts every morning, and nothing like scrambled eggs, omletts or sausages. I haven't got any breakfast at the hotel in the last two morning, as i've been bored of it. Low water pressure in the shower.
Great value for money. The room is like on the pictures. Enough space for two persons, well equipped, a little bit oldschool style maybe, but it didn't cause any problem for us. The balcony was very good as we've got a seaview room. The bathroom is hygienic. Maria, who does the breakfast every morning at the hotel is a lovely person. She gave us advices and guidelines where to go every day.

Czech RepublicOlder hotel. The room furnishings were newer, but the doors and windows could use some replacement. Room windows faced a busy street, so noise from cars and people at night. Location terrible. Tourist town by the sea full of hotels but virtually no usable beach. Otherwise the area has a not so great marine aquarium, restaurants and pubs. One of the least interesting areas in Malta.

HungaryAll in all it was worth the price. It's a bit far away from everything by public transport, but if you are planning to drive or using taxi, it's okay. Beds are not the most comfortable but for 2-3 nights, it's not that bad. The staff is nice, Maria from the breakfast staff is super kind and lovely.

MoldovaAll other comments about noisy rooms are accurate. Also, the cleaning staff starts arranging the rooms very early in the morning which can be disturbing during a holiday.
Good price-quality ratio. You get a correct room for the paid price.

United KingdomIt was far too noisy, guests were really rowdy even during the early hours . Walls are very thin. Very noisy in the surrounding streets.
The rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable. Good price so kinda got what we paid for. If you are a heavy sleeper then you won't have any problems. Lots of restaurants and shops in walking distance.... definitely recommend a trip to the blue lagoon.

MaltaI didn't spend much time in the hotel, but found nothing to complain about. The front steps are a bit steep which may be an issue for some people.

ItalyThere's no dedicated parking, and in the evening it's really hard to find a parking spot along the sidewalk. The windows didn't really block the noise from the outside and people were very loud. The door to the room weren't easy to open/close and made a lot of noise. Breakfast was disappointing - I think I would have had a better breakfast in the nearby restaurants - most of the things were bought, there wasn't a lot of variety for those who don't eat meat/cheese.
The hotel is located in the center of the busy street with a lot of restaurants, bars, and shops, so it was easy to grab a bite or buy something. The hotel is fairly close to Valetta by car and the beach was right behind the hotel.

RomaniaThe weather was changeable and I think that in Malta there is no heating system inside the buildings, so we had to use the air conditioning a little bit. The transport on the island is quite slow and a lot of time is lost on the way.
The hotel staff was very kind and the location very good, close to the sea and with easy access to transport lines. We had a partially sea view from the room. The breakfast good and at a good price.

SpainBed: It was quite hard. Not a very big problem but maybe this is a point of investment for them. Curtains: The curtains are actually good and think but it's length is a little too short which allows a lot of light once the sun rises and will disturb one's sleep especially for photosensitive people as sun rises quite early in Malta. Noise: I don't know if the walls are too thin but you can really hear everything happening on other rooms nearby and I mean everything HAHA Also whenever housekeeping does their rounds in the morning, they speak and knock a little too loud and I even woke up once due to it when I was planning to get up late that day. Balcony Light: This one has no switch whatsoever on your room so you have no choice but to wait for Management to turn it off late at night. I did not like this because on times I plan to sleep earlier, combined with the curtain issue, light floods the inside of the room.
Location: was good as it is in the heart of Buggiba in Saint Paul's Bay. Far from Valetta and the Airport if you are commuting but the location was good as it is near restaurants and food places. Price: It was relatively cheap especially that I booked it in advanced but I think there are other options at its price point. Cleanliness: They clean every single day. I even put the Do not disturb sign a couple of days as I did not need cleaning much and save on their water, supplies, and energy. Ease of Checking in and Checking out : I was assisted by Rachel on both Check in and out and she was nice to me :)

United KingdomI was fine with the hotel but was under the impression it was costing us around £133.00 when in reality it seems to have cost us an initial payment of £141.21 followed by another of £43.69 coming to £184.90 which to me seems that we were somewhat mislead. So pointless as with us being a travelling band we look good for making a few up and coming trips to Malta but this sort of thing makes me reluctant to want to this hotel again
The room was perfect for our needs. Comfortable, clean and right where we needed to be

RomaniaWe reserved a triple room and actually received a double with a suplementary bed. That is not a triple room nowhere in the world! Elevator was old, doors were old and closed with difficulty, the balcony doors were in bad shape, walls needed new paint,etc. Really noisy area until late at night..I expected more from a 95 e/night room. I would chose to stay in Sliema or St Julians. Nothing to see in Buggiba.
We got a room on the 5th floor woth sea view. The bathroom was clean and new, they changed the towels daily.
