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 KingdomThere was a musty smell in the bathroom. We reported it twice and the staff were responsive but whatever was done didn’t alleviate the smell. The toilet was too low - like being at primary school. Lack of hooks to hang bath towels etc.
Fabulous location. We booked a seaview room and the view was breathtaking.

United KingdomFoyer was too hot we needed to wait for a while for taxi home. Pillows are uncomfortable. Balcony isn’t really worth it as it’s in the middle of the building and no real sun can reach it. It all was clean but could have been cleaner. The shower needs more pressure. And the bathroom is huge but no surfaces to put anything. Towels in bathroom are tiny but you do get a standard size robe. The pool area could do with a few chairs as well as the loungers. Breakfast was amazing if you have no problems but we asked at reception about gluten free and were told yes we have it; I asked the chef for gluten free he did bring out toast but didn’t explain what else I could eat and everything was a contamination risk.
Location is perfect, Room is really big, bed is a good size, shower is huge, staff were amazing. Pool is a great feature. Good breakfast. Good aircon.

Polandduring morning peak hours is hard to enter the breakfast zone - you have to wait in a queue and be called by the staff (in our case it was ca. 30 min); not diversified breakfast options what can be some problem in case of longer stay; the room isn't soundproof
Great location and very friendly staff; nice room design and equipment; stunning view on Valetta; good connection by bus or taxi to all attractions

SerbiaThe pool area was somewhat of a disappointment, but we weren't there for the pool, so it didn't bother us much. The view from up there is spectacular though.
The location is perfect, as is the view from the room, spanning across the bay. We really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable bed, tasty breakfast and friendly staff.

SwitzerlandWe did not like the indoor little pool. It was smelly and the water didn’t look clean.
The hotel is well located. The staff is very friendly and will offer you an excellent customer service. The suite was clean, spacious and had a nice view from the balcony. Toilet has everything you need. We came to Malta for my birthday and the hotel has a little surprise for us when we arrived. It was a very nice gesture.

United KingdomThe only slight downside is the road outside the front of the property is quite busy, so it was a tad noisy when sitting on our balcony (we booked a sea view room).
The hotel was lovely and clean. The staff were friendly and attentive and really helpful when asked questions about getting around the island. The rooms were spacious and the bed was comfy. The breakfast was really good with so much variety there is something for everyone. The hotel is in walking distance of so many great bars and restaurants and only a 2 minute walk from the ferry port to get to Valetta.

NetherlandsIt was a bit busy at breakfast and it was stressful to wait for seating when you booked a trip or something and had to keep time. Ask guest for preferred seating and avoid everybody coming at the same time

United KingdomOn our last night we decided to have a meal in the Hotel Restaurant, we being the only 2 at the time, we decided to do this having tried some amazing restaurants each night of our stay. Wish we hadn't, the food was very bland and poor quality and as stated we were the only 2. I had salmon with roast potatoes, which were not roasted with veg, about a tablespoon of and the salmon was the smallest piece you could wish for, no dressing etc. In all it was very bland. My wife had a vegetable curry which was a bowl full of rice with a rare sighting of a vegetable. Not worth the 50 Euros or more.
Hotel staff were very helpful, friendly and polite. The room was excellent with great views of the harbour and it was comfortable.

LithuaniaThe only thing I thought is that on the breakfast there is not a lot of vegetables to choose. But everything else is great.
The staff is great! The hotel is very nice and the location is amazing. We arrived in the morning because of our early flight and I contacted the hotel asking if they could let us check in early and as we arrived at 10AM the room was already prepared and staff welcomes us so nicely! ❤️ The view from our room was perfect!!! Everything is clean, breakfast are super nice and fresh. And although the hotel is near cafes, bars and restaurants it’s really quiet and peacefull. Loved it!

BelgiumI would have expected a little more from a new 4 star hotel. If you don't pay for a room with a view than be prepared to see no day light at all. Our window faced some indoor court that was more like a shaft. The bathroom seemed already worn down. The pool is a joke. Freezing cold and very small.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great. Breakfast, although the same every day was ok. Room was spacious Bed comfortable. Sauna and fitness were nice.
