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 KingdomMy 6 ft husband found the shower a bit small & restrictive for his size, but not really a problem for a short stay (or a short person!)
Friendly & homely B&B with all you need for a really comfortable stay. Lots of extras have been thought of & the charming hosts will also cook you a delicious vegetarian meal with many local specialities. Nothing was too much trouble & we had a great time! Unfortunately the weather wasn’t as warm as we’d hoped, so no chance to sit outside too much or use the pool…..we’ll just have to return another time!

MaltaThe owners were super friendly and their pets too. Throughout the stay, I had an exceptional breakfast and taking it by the pool made it more memorable. The accommodation is just few minutes away by walk to the square where one can find various restaurants and attractions too. For sure this will not be my last visit at this accommodation and highly recommend it.

Wonderful location on Gozo and easy walk to the sights in Xaghra. The breakfast was magnificent. This is a place that really does a filling home made breakfast. Excellent eggs, fresh made cinnamon rolls, great coffee. The hosts were so very kind and helpful. The pool would have been inviting if the weather were warmer.

This is our second stay in Encanto, as before we really enjoyed the house, the space and quietness of it all. Check in is really easy. One cannot not mention the food experience we had....almost everything is homemade. The hosts are friendly, welcoming and happy to help in any way possible.

IrelandEm, not much… Toffee didn’t wouldn’t pose for a photo.
The character of the property hit me immediately from Toffee greeting me on arrival to the plants throughout the property and down to just the way the windows were dressed. There is a lovely relaxed feeling to Encanto that I just loved. Jessica and Roseanne were both so welcoming and as I was the only guest for my stay I was given them bigger room for no extra cost. I availed of the 4 course dinner and it was beautiful from the nibbles plate on. And a lovely bottle of Maltese white wine to accompany it. Oh and the breakfast? The best breakfast of my weeks holiday on Gozo and Malta. Quite possibly my favourite meal of the trip!

United StatesJust a warning to future visitors that cell service is difficult in an older building, but standing outside by the pool helps, and of course there is wifi.
Breakfast was fabulous, such a wonderful spread of fresh food each morning plus a customized option and fresh coffee. A lovely breakfast by the pool. The pool itself was quiet and private. My room had A/C which was awesome. Very spacious room with beautiful tall ceilings. My host was absolutely lovely and helpful!

AustraliaEverything was fabulous! The place is so tastefully and thoughtfully decked out. The hosts are so lovely, but also generous with their time, local intel and insight for making the most of your trip tailored to the guest. This is true hospitality in a top location - easy to get to, pretty walks to the sandy beach of Ramla as well as historical sites, and an easy location to explore the rest of Gozo from whether by bus or car. Truly beautiful place to stay

New Zealandnothing not to like.
As seasoned travellers, we’ve had our share of the good and bad when it comes to B&B. Encanto, however, is in a league of its own. Roseanne and Jessica went way further than you could expect in order to help with some travel problems and much else. Encanto is the warmest, most welcoming place you could wish to stay. The room was a gem. The house is brilliantly set up and special word has to be made of the creative and generous breakfast. In addition, you shouldn’t miss their dinner by arrangement. They’re wonderfully conceived and entirely home cooked, outclassing any vegetarian restaurant. An outrageously flirtatious dog and a charming cat completed a wonderful stay.

United KingdomRoseanne, Jessica, Toffee, Pepper and Pumpkin were the perfect hosts. The B&B is very homely and relaxing, and the breakfast was exceptional. We loved trying all the home cooked delights, and it was such a treat to try vegan versions of Maltese specialities. Both Roseanne and Jessica were incredibly helpful, sharing local knowledge and history. The B&B is in a great location and we managed to get around Gozo by bus really easily, with bus stops within a few metres of the front door! Highly recommend a stay here :)

GermanyWe stayed there for 6 nights and would have even longer. Here's why: - perfect hosts: Jessica and Roseanne were the best hosts you could imagine. They responded within minutes by WhatsApp. They hat nice knowledge about the area/ things to do and assisted with everything you asked for - perfect room: the room was really well decorated/equipped, included some welcome drinks/snacks and included a balcony. The bed was very comfy even after 5 nights. - perfect house: the house is also nicely decorated and includes a nice place outside with pool and sun loungers - perfect location: Xaghra is really nicely placed within the heart of Gozo. You can visit everything by bus or use a bolt. In addition to that it has a nice central square with bars/restaurants and supermarkets. No other place looked that cozy - perfect food: every day you can decide between different hot dishes for breakfast. Furthermore they serve different treats everyday in addition to the regular selection - perfect service: they even offer you different activities at the B&B. We for example tried the 4 course dinner and it was absolutely magnificent. Would recommend it to everyone - perfect pets: just cute. Just meet them :)
