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 KingdomThe property is in a great location, 5 minutes from the beach and restaurants. The whole property is extremely clean and tidy, well looked after and the pool area is relaxing and comfortable. Josef was an extremely kind and accommodating host. We didn’t want to leave!

The best place in he area. No lie. Secluded, quiet, accessible. A short stroll to all the restaurant and the bay and perfectly located for all the walks and the bus. The pool is super and the grounds luxurious. The host works hard at this and it shows. The room is in an amazing traditional villa and has everything you need to cater for yourself. So much space. The host is always available if needed.

NetherlandsThe one minor point that didn't live up to our expectation was that the stove is not really set up to cook major meals, it works but is not the best thing. It didn't bother us given that there are great food options in Xlendi so we only used it the first night to heat up a chicken pot pie after arriving late.
The apartment is split into two floors, with two bedrooms at the entrance level, with a bathroom as well. The living space is all up one staircase, with the kitchen and living room and the magnificent rooftop terrace which not only offers a great outdoor living area but also a sunning terrace, bbq and gorgeous view out the bay.

United KingdomThere is no much in the way of views, but that is not the property's fault, just a consequence of over building in Gozo.
Cleanliness. Helpful owner. It was easy to walk to the nearby restaurants.

PolandThis has been one of the greatest places we've been so far and we've travelled a lot. Great location, very spacious, charming and clean apartment with everything one might need, lovely pool... But first and foremost - the best host we could ever wish for! Really warm, engaged and lovely person, he gave us plenty of recommendations and helped with everything we had needed. Thank you Josef!

United KingdomBathroom was functional but a little small, as was the lounge. But we managed fine as 2 couples and spent most of our time on the terrace or down at the beach.
Joseph (host) was really friendly and helpful. Often around but responded quickly to messages. Location was great, uphill (short) walk from town/beach, but not unsurprising for Gozo/Xlendi. Great to have access to the pool, rarely saw guests in the other apartments. The terrace in our penthouse as perfect and was so large it meant we didn't really mind the smaller lounge/dining area as we lived out there!

Our host Josef was amazing, so friendly and helpful. We were able to check into our apartment 2 hours early and he did everything to make our stay as comfortable and good as possible. Our apartment was a great size and we had a fabulous view of the sunset from our large terrace. Josef was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and places to visit on Gozo that we wouldn’t otherwise have found. Overall, a fantastic location, very clean and comfortable apartment, lovely pool and extremely clean. Would highly recommend.

AustriaWe loved our stay at Villa Xemxija! The apartment is located just a short walk to the centre and the beach front. The apartment has everything for a perfect stay, the kitchen is fully equipped and very clean. The owner gives you a very heartful welcome and great advices where to go. He was one of the best hosts we ever had! We loved the pool and the flair of the villa. It is almost downtown but very calm. Xemxija itself is a lovely spot with different beaches, flat ones and riffs. There are lots of amenities like canoeing, renting a boat, diving and a big variety of restaurants in all price-classes. A great place to stay!

United StatesGreat place - wish we’d stayed longer!
This place is awesome! The location is perfect - a small village and the villa is just a short walk to great restaurants and swimming. The villa has a really nice pool that my kids loved. The property is really well maintained and the kitchen included everything you could need. There is a mini market a short walk away or just take a taxi (Bolt) to Lidl to get whatever you need. Jozef was super helpful and provided great tips and recommendations. Take the reviews about air conditioning with a grain of salt - the set up is a smart, ecological move on the villa’s part to conserve energy. It’s more of a timer. We ended up needing less than five euros during a week in August heat. This place is a gem! We plan to return!
