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 KingdomNothing. It was perfect.
Sophie was very friendly, kind and welcoming. Her house has a relaxing ambience. We really enjoyed her amazing, beautifully presented breakfasts in a very pretty garden. It was lovely to swim and relax by the pool in the afternoons after our trips out. The location was perfect with only a short 10 minute walk to the village square. Sophie and Stephanie are a great team. We would highly recommend this exceptional house and will definitely return.

The breakfast is incredible, with all the items crafted with love and care. Sophie's attention to detail and genuine care for her guests truly make this B&B a standout gem. We cannot recommend Botanica enough.

GermanyWe would like to thank Sophie for the amazing time we had in her B&B! The house is 400 y.o. and provides a nice local atmosphere. The room was pretty big and clean. The house is super beautiful, with nice furniture and decorations. There are some aroma candles in the house, which smell awesome. We had everything we needed, also towels for the swimming pool. The pool was big enough and clean. The most impressive thing was the breakfast! Sophie and her friend prepared everything themselves every morning! We stayed 3 nights there, therefore we had 3 breakfasts. Every time there was something new, they prepared every time another surprise! The food was very fresh and delicious, but the way they served it was amazing too!!! It was served with so much attention to detail and love! Merci Sophie for the amazing B&B experience in Gozo! We already recommend your B&B for all our friends. We would like to come back soon! Greetings and privet from Germany, Michael & Malika

Sophie and Stefanie took care of us so well and made us feel at home immediately. As for the breakfasts, there are no words. Sophie is incredibly passionate about what she does and it shows in absolutely everything. Can’t wait to visit again next time we’re in Gozo.

Our stay with Sophie in her beautiful b&b exceeded our expectations. The building, exterior and interior, was beautiful and the smell was amazing (think entering into a botanical spa with lemon and ginger scents). Everywhere was spotless. We stayed in the room with a Seaview, the photos don't do the terrace justice, it's huge! Beautiful sunsets whilst sipping on some gozian wine. The pool area was beautifully done and pool itself was well kept and big enough to swim laps in. Breakfasts are 10/10 are you will read in many of these reviews. The area is great, 10 min walk into the town square with a selection of bars/restaurants. We used the bolt app to get cabs if we wanted to venture further, this was super easy and cheap, waited no more than 10 mins each time and all parts of the island are quickly accessible.

JapanIf you visit Gozo for a relaxing time, I'd love to recommend to stay here. Easy to access everywhere, also comfortable and quiet place. Breakfast in a beautiful garden is so special! For lunch and dinner, there are restaurants in Xagha within 10 minutes walking, and can be reached to Marsalforn and Victoria in 5-10 minutes by a car. The hospitality of the owners was also appreciated. She always took care of me and made sure I had a comfortable stay. I definitely spend my next stay here in Malta.

Sophie was an excellent generous host. Her breakfasts were the best! Location was excellent 4 mins from church square with a handful of lovely restaurants and a bar. When we weren’t out discovering Gozo’s lovely coastline, we were either swimming or relaxing by pool or eating lovely breakfasts or dining in the square. Heaven! The 6 nights went very quickly but it was all so relaxing and peaceful. Xaghra is a great spot from which to investigate all corners of Gozo.
