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.).

United KingdomOne morning my partner was rudely sent away from the breakfast because she could not see our booking for the breakfast. The female staff showed no empathy, or or even suggested what he could to do resolve - until I went to reception where the very helpful kind Maria confirmed our booking. He was left very embarrassed by the lady accepting guests to the breakfast room.
The hotel location , the full breakfast and the wonderful hotel facilities. We have stayed twice previously at the Vila Petra.

United KingdomSome of the items listed weren’t available as standard in the room. We requested an iron but as we hadn’t requested this at check in at waited till getting ready to go out we then had to wait till the day after.
Great location - a little away from the strip so you can get some quiet time but only a 5 minute walk if that’s the purpose of your visit. The pool is great and the breakfast is definitely worth paying for.

United KingdomNothing to not like!
Just returned from a 7 night stay. We're a family of 4 with 2 older teenagers. We loved everything about Vila Petra! The staff are so welcoming and friendly, every part of the hotel is spotlessly clean, the entertainment team is brilliant. The location is great for accessing both the strip and Old Town, so there are plenty of places to eat. We stayed in a 2 bed room with a pool view, and it had absolutely everything you could think to need, including a tea towel. We spent a lot of time in the pool and loved that there was no rush to reserve sunbeds as this was not permitted or tolerated by the pool side staff. Entertainment was fun, and the personal favourite was the quiz (which we won). The Bellux team worked tirelessly to keep everyone engaged and do a brilliant job. The entire site was immaculately clean. The pool was cleaned every night, the grounds were kept in great condition, and our room was serviced with new towels and a full clean every day. Would 100% recommend Vila Petra, and we will be back!
