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 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):
- 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.).

Really lovely simple property, right in the heart of the Old Town, 1 minute from the sea! You are right by all the restaurants and attractions here, but it is also very quiet and calm. We had such a lovely 4 night stay here! The staff were amazing, especially Ella on the front desk who was very accommodating and just so nice! Ana who helped us arrange our stay was also fab. It has all the simple amenities you’d need for an easy stay! The room was lovely and clean. They had options on the TV for Netflix and Disney plus. Comfortable bed, nice spacious and clean shower room. They made up our room every day. Ignore the bad reviews seen before, it’s just a simple quaint place! I think it’s best as just a lovely room for the nights rather than a resort like hotel (with all the extras). We didn’t get breakfast but if you did want breakfast, like a cooked breakfast - I would go out as the old town has a lot to offer! They do only take cash or bank transfer. We were hesitant before our stay, but we paid in cash and everything was completely fine! Once again, lovely staff, fantastic location, clean and pretty!

The only thing that could have improved our stay would be the breakfast. A basic selection on offer but it is probably enough to start your day.

There was confusion over the method of payment for the accommodation. An email from the hotel a few days before arrival told me I would have to pay in cash. This was not the case, but I had brought the amount in cash. I thought the decor too fussy.
The location was excellent and the staff were extremely helpful.

Beautiful hotel in amazing location. 10 minute walk to old town and across the street from marina meeting point for boat tours. Parking is expensive in the private garage but possible to park on street for free - a 5 minute walk up the hill from hotel.

The first 4 star hotel in twenty years of travelling that did not accept card payments. This I believe is one of the requirements for being a 4 star hotel. The lift only went halfway up, and not all the way to the floor our room was located on. We ended up carrying up suitcases two flight of stairs. The room was rather small.
It was clean and close to the historical centre. Nice and polite staff. The lady who did the check-in was particularly nice and answered all our questions.

Breakfast is expensive at E15 per person if you don't prepay. Breakfast is cold meats, eggs, fruit, cereal, and pastries. Limited options if you're vegetarian/vegan. Be careful of asking the hotel to arrange transport to and from the airport - it's very expensive if you do! It also seems that you get different prices depending on which staff member takes the booking. We booked with Ana, the manager, and it was E95 for two people each way to/from the airport. A fellow traveler booked with one of the ladies at the front desk and only paid E50 for two people. She failed to respond when we asked the manager about the price differential. The car that picked us up told us they were an Uber, and they would have charged us E40 rather than E95. So be aware that you can get transport much cheaper by organizing it yourself. The bus, incidentally, is E7 each way to/from the airport!
The two young ladies working at the reception desk were incredibly pleasant. The hotel has a small but nice roof-top terrace - ideal for catching sunset and sunrise. Wifi was good, rooms were very clean. Eclectic decor.
