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.).

A standard hostel room but with a nice balcony and great value for money! Pretty clean and comfort, and staff are nice. A few minutes walk to bus station with great connection. Breakfast is alright and I am happy with it considering the money that I pay. Not much noise during my stay.

RomaniaIt was ok for this cheap price.
They offered me a single room insted of a bed in a dormitory because the hostel was pretty crowded when I arrived. The staff very friendly, the breakfast better than in other hostels, not extraordinary, but good enough. They had a delicious tart every morning. The location was nice, close to a lot of bus stops that took you to Valletta and within walking distance from Sliema. They cleaned the room every 2 days.

RomaniaThe staff from the front desk is not very organized. In one week stay the door key did not work properly, just because they can not set the right check out date. Always asking if I have to check out today, looking like they are rushing you on not staying in the hostel. As well, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the room.
The location is very good and not far from the bus station. The staff from the breakfast is very friendly and good workers. As well, the cleaning staff did a good job with cleaning in the room.

HungaryI was informed that breakfast was available until 10am, but I came down one day at 9am and they had concluded the service. The bed was rather hard and the pillow was too thin to be comfortable. There's a locker in the room however the lock function didn't work. The hinge on the door of my locker was also broken and therefore it's probably wise not to leave valuable items in the room if you're out of the hostel. As a student hostel, sometimes the students can get rather noisy at night. Bring earplugs especially if you're an early and light sleeper. Being a little far away from downtown, travelling to the hostel by public buses can be quite problematic at night.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were cleaned regularly. The room has air conditioning that we can adjust according to our liking. The breakfast option was simply bread and cereals with tea or coffee - better than nothing and gave extra value to the already affordable room rate. The location is pretty nice, near University of Malta and just a few minutes walk to/from Qroqq bus stop to go to the airport or anywhere else on the island. Also being in a student area, the area surrounding the hostel is more peaceful and quiet than in Sliema or St Julian. Overall it did meet my expectations. It's a solid option for those travelling on a budget and want to stay away from the city's busy nightlife.

GreeceOnly important inconvinience, which I knew in advance, was that private toilet is a seperate room. It is private only for you, it is just across the corridor 1 m away from your door, but you need to dress up, close your door , open the other door , and then the other way around etc. Also the single bed was really too narrow for a big guy, maybe for an average person too. It's about almost an hour of walking away from Valleta old city
Good value overall, spoteless clean everywhere, ok breakfast, has a small pool which is great for relaxing after a walking day.

United KingdomThe location was not in the best area; not many people were around at night. When booking, I was told I would be sharing a room with 3 other people. However, I was alone in my dorm the entire time.
I appreciated how there were staff at the reception 24/7; it made the hostel feel safer.
