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.).

HungaryThe apartment is absolutely HUGE and was clean! The location is perfect, 3 min away from the bay by on feet. We loved to be here. But the best ‘part’ was Joseph the owner who’s hospitality was unmatched. He gave us advices which restaurant should we try , which bay is the best around there , and answered our every question asap. Highly recommended, and for this price almost sure this is one of the best opportunity to stay at Marsalforn. Thank to Joseph !

United KingdomThere was some building works going on in front of the apartment, so there wasn't a great view, but we knew that and we were happy to make the short walk down to the seafront and enjoy the view from there
The apartment was lovely, very clean and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves, if we wanted to. Having en-suite bathrooms for the bedrooms was great The location was central with restaurants, bars and shops a short walk away

United KingdomParties of 5 or more might find the seating area slightly small. We’d possibly suggest adding a second sofa to the apartment, but we’re being picky!
Island Break is perfectly located to fully enjoy Marsalforn and the surrounding area. Joseph provided an amazing welcome food basket to get us started in Gozo and took time to recommend restaurants and places of interest. The apartment was really well furnished, and having a washing machine was incredibly helpful for our 9-day stay. It was also great to have balconies at both sides of the apartment.

We arrived before our checking in time but we were able to leave our luggage downstairs with the owners Mother who gave us a very nice welcome and offered drinks. We were really pleasantly surprised when we checked in that there was not only tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk but also bread, cheese, eggs, ham, snacks and biscuits, the apartment was spacious and pleasant and only a 4 minute walk from the bay, we would definitely stay again

SerbiaThe only thing we didn't like were the construction works everywhere in Marsalforn, which were very noisy and which will probably change this lovely town.
Breakfast wasn't included, but the owner welcomed us with complimentary snacks, water, toast, milk, ham, wine... He was there for all our questions, with great advice.

Maltathe flat was a bit outdated, and mixed with modern and old decor. not the one in the pictures. it was windy, and the front and back balcony doors weren't sealed properly, the noise from the wind trough the doors was annoying.. also there is a huge quarry in front of the building.. you can see and hear construction .. but we weren't in the flat for most of our time so it was not that much of an issue for us..
The owner was very nice and welcoming and he lived in the same block so it was very easy to check in and out.. also we didn't have gas in the stove and he came immediately to change it even though it was super late at night! 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. No problem for parking as the street is a dead end.. the location is perfect for walks and easy access to local restaurants and groceries. Great view of the salvatur hill..
