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.).

Everything was great * Location in Gzira, very near to Sliema, can easily get public bus or ferry to cross to Valeta * Rooms very comfortable and spacious - we had a family room for 3 * Staff always smiley and helpful * Great views from the terrace where the breakfast restaurant was * Definitely value for money * Nice pool opposite the hotel although it can get crowded as it is not actually part of the hotel, but more of an independent property and also the pool for other hotel next door

United KingdomThe standard room looked out at brick walls which was disappointing . Pay extra for better room. The saving grace was that the room had a single room attached which we used for storage .
Staff were very good especially Sandra and Sonja at breakfast. Cleanliness of reception area and common areas. Floor 9 with area for sitting out and overlooking the harbour and Valetta. Aqua Luna was a great facility

AustraliaIn hindsight I think I would pay extra for a better room. Ours had little natural light and the window overlooked another building. The room was very noisy. I could hear every footstep and conversation outside in the hallway. One night of our stay, I could hear loud talking, laughter and I think it was the television until 2am in the morning. There was a good variety for breakfast, however the hot food was only lukewarm. I think the location would suit younger people looking for the night life. We witnessed a few hen's and stag nights. You have use of the Aqualuna swimming pool and bar across the road, but it was always very crowded.
Malta is a lovely place to visit. Our room had all we needed and the bed was comfortable. Good shower. Spacious room. Nice rooftop area for relaxing with great views over the harbour and towards Valletta.

GreeceWe didn't like small details like the drain being clogged and missing lamps. The superior room seemed nothing more than a normal room. The balcony was less than mediocre with no great view. The building opposite to ours was close enough we had to have our curtains closed anytime we were undressed.
The room was nice, the cleaning ladies were nice. People talked in english and there was an information service within the hotel for car rent etc. The breakfast was pretty good and should suffice for most people.

United KingdomUnfortunately the room was not in the same building as the rest of the facility, like indoor pool and sauna and sometimes it can be uncomfortable going out of the building to another one .. I wish the room was in the same building It was kind of expensive..

United KingdomStaff are unfriendly and unprofessional, which is even more shocking considering that some are Italians and French, so should have good hospitality background. No Good morning, no Welcome, no hello, how can I help... Just staying behind the reception desk, not saying anything and waiting for the guests to start the conversation. At breakfast I've seen one waiter blowing her nose, then playing with her hair followed by laying the table (cutlery including), all these without washing her hands.
Location was very good, close to shops, restaurants, ferry and bus station. Hotel is pretty modern, clean and has good amenities, all included in the price: jacuzzi on top floor, spa, and the most important, the Aqualuna pool.

SerbiaThe breakfast seemed to lack variety from day to day. Additionally, certain rooms lacked natural light and fresh air, with windows facing the space between the hotel walls outside. However, after raising our concerns, we were promptly moved to a much better room. Despite these issues, we still want to express our gratitude for the hospitality extended to us during our stay.
We were extremely pleased with the hotel staff; they were exceptionally helpful and kind throughout our stay. The location is perfect.
