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.).

AustraliaPerfect location in Birgu. A beautiful town, much more pleasant than the business of Valletta. Only 2 euro to take the enjoyable gondola ride across to Valletta. Well renovated. Amazing terrace with a stunning view of Valletta and the harbour. Perfect! A bright and comfortable apartment with great facilities, clean and so comfortable. Highly recommended.

Lovely apartment in the middle of beautiful Birgu. Good setup with a small kitchenette and a balcony overlooking the water. The area is very peaceful and you do feel the community with friendly neighbours greeting you. The photos don’t do this place justice.

SpainThe previous tenants were not very careful with the apartment, so at first sight it needs to get the walls painted again. They also need to do a better bathroom cleaning.
It is located in one of the three principal cities, the views of the harbour are amazing.

United KingdomLovely accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Had everything we needed for a short break. We hired a car but could have accessed the bus routes from here easily if we wanted to. Host was very friendly, we ate and drank at his resturant a couple of minutes walk away too. Really tasty and very reasonable. The view from the room and rooftop were both stunning. I would definitely stay here again.

Estoniathe room is very humid because the building was old. the host did not prepare water for drinking we bought it ourselves but on the first page of the booking, they said they will be prepared free water for the guests. the blanket on the bed was not clean.
The location was very great. good for couples who want to go outside during the day and only use the room for sleeping. everything in the room works well.

SloveniaRoom needs a little renovation. We miss some dishes cookware, glasses... Nothing major. The apartment is in third flour, stairs are steep and uneven, but it is a small price for the view :)
The location is inside oldtown Birgu, narrow beautiful streets, lots of them closed for traffic. the view from the window and especially from a roof terrace was spectacular.

PolandThe only thing I would complain were very old not the cleanest towels... Really questionable. And I do not recommend kitchen pots and pans - scratched a lot (wouldn't be a bad thing if it wasn't Teflon).
Great location, very cosy narrow streets around and close to ferry to Valetta. Amazing views from balcony and roof terrace (available for all guests). Very easy contact with owner.

United KingdomWe had expected to have a balcony as in our booking, so that was disappointing. It would have been nicer to have been in one of the other two rooms above, which did have balconies. There were no instructions for using the cooker and there was no kettle so we improvised with the coffee machine. Bathroom facilities were only fair, because the shower seemed to leak onto the floor all the time and the bathmat had (blood?) stains.
The apartment is in a great location in Birgu and good ferry connection to Valletta, as well as bus. Restaurants around were good. The narrow streets were lovely. The roof terrace was great, with fabulous views - we spent a lot of time up there. Nice to have access to free cold water too. Staff at the restaurant where we checked in were friendly. Overall we thought it was very good value for what we paid for 4 nights.

We told two days in advance that our plane will be leaving early in the monding and we'd need transfer, so the staff took our info, but taxi never arrived and noone was there to give the keys back.
