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.).

The pedestrian entrance is very impractical, either a huge, grand stairway, or a small, hidden elevator.
The interior design is outstanding. Breakfast is ample and pleasant.

I didn’t like the carpet in the room which on entry looked clean but was actually filthy with stains and not pleasant on the eye, the same with the curtains, BOTH NEED CHANGING At the plaza level there is a mat which is a trip hazard and needs replacing ASAP
The beds and facilities in the room was adequate and usable. Breakfast was nice, with a wide range of eateries to choose from. Overall room and breakfast was good

Pre-stay enquiries were awful and nearly led to me cancelling the trip. Messages were not responded to, and when a response and offer was given, it was never followed up. This needs to be addressed.
Beautifully presented, airy rooms and a fantastic balcony for breakfast. It has the perfect location by the cruise pier (but needs a taxi to get to the cruise terminal). Staff were friendly and helpful, including arranging taxis and storing luggage.

the bar. this was cheating at it’s best. ordered a pinacolada, got a drink that had barley any alcohol. next day I ordered a Manhattan, what I got was a kid’s drink. most probably the bartender is taking the alcohol home. it is a shame for such a hotel. once cheated might be random. twice I see a strategy. would book the same hotel again but never order anything other than a beer. hope that helps some travelers
very clean great location

It was difficult to find how to get into the hotel when we arrived. It was also odd to have to ring a doorbell to get into the hotel every time. No one said anything through the intercom and we were just buzzed in. I am sure it was for safety, but it was strange. There were many stairs to get to one door and the other door was rather hidden and away from the water side where most people come from. It surprised us that there were not many restaurants open past 6:00pm in the area. When the cruise ships would leave everything shut down.
We loved the breakfast every day! Jimmy at the front desk was so nice.! All of the people working there were so friendly.

I just found the bathrooms a bit small, and probably would have asked for a room on the other side of the hotel for a better view but mostly for less noise from the town.
Friendly staff, nice hotel great decor, beautiful lounge area, and bar. Great breakfast. The bedroom is very comfortable. Very clean. The hotel is close to the shopping and restaurants. Short walk to get a ferry to visit other parts of the island.
