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.).

AustraliaThat we had to leave
The 16th Century house was a fabulous setting with high ceilings and a very spacious room. The four poster bed was very comfortable. It was located very close to restaurants, convenience stores and the bus terminal. Tourist attractions:- the Mdina, StPauls Catecombs and the Roman Domus were within walking distance. Buses 51, 52 ran to Valletta. Bus 201 ran hourly to and from the airport.. Breakfast was varied and included freshly sqeezed orange 🍊 juice. The host, Bernadette was very helpful.

BelgiumThe joint kitchen facilities are quite restrictive -- although the apartment has its own kitchen. The quality of food could be better. (dairy products, fresh veggies etc) .
The host was very welcoming, The place -- a really old city building -- has a flair of a home, with a lot of personal items and non standard arrangements. Guides and books about Malta are available. The location is great -- 10 minutes walk to Mdina, centre of Rabat at a walking distance as well.

Our stay at Hotel Vittoria was amazing and exceeded all our expectations! We were welcomed with open armes, an always friendly smile and unlimited kindness! We felt more like at a homestay than at a hotel. Breakfast is selfservice with very good choices and everyday new homemade treats and surprises! The house is an old Maltese house with lots of carefully picked decorations and a very homely feel. Thank you very much for everything!

It was absolutely amazing! Great people, great location. Breakfast was very nice, we sometimes even got homemade cakes. Bernadette contacted us before arrival, making sure we would find our way to her house. She was very friendly and helpful, made suggestions on what we can do or see during our stay. She even gave us a bigger room than booked, very generous of her! Simply amazing in total!

CroatiaWe would suggest having extra bins in the kitchen, not only outside on the terrace as it is easier to clean everything while you are preparing your food and you don't have to go in and out twice. Also, it would be easier if the blankets are already in the closet so the guests don't have to ask for them. Thanks for all
We liked everything, it's a castle-like accommodation, very authentic with a nice rooftop and delicious cakes for breakfast (olive homemade cake was fantastic). You get beer,chips, water, coffee and tea in your room. There is also Netflix. The location is perfect - we were trying to stay away from loud places and this place was very calm, beautiful and close to Mdina. We would repeat anytime. The Host is responsive and gave us an extra blanket, and let us leave our bags after check out.

The bed was super comfy. The Aircon was very much appreciated as was the fridge in the room. Things had really been thought about for your comfort, even the sweets in the foyer 😊

United KingdomThe lighting in our room was very dim making it hard to do things like my makeup.
Our studio was exceptionally clean and very comfortable and little touches like the beers and crisps in the kitchen area were thoughtful extras. The breakfast included was varied and tasty. We liked how the owner was always reachable via WhatsApp but otherwise left us to our own devices. The location was excellent for seeing Mdina and there were good bus services very close by, also some excellent restaurants. I would definitely stay at Villa Vittoria again!

We liked everything! Such an amazing property and wonderful host. Bernadette is an angel - she bakes yummy cakes (even sugar free), she is very helpful and knowledgeable. Location of the guest house couldn't be better - right in the centre of Rabat, few steps away from Mdina. Bus stops, taxis, local shops, pubs, restaurants - literally everything is steps away. We were very happy there at Villa Vittoria. Highly recommended. Thank you Bernadette for everything you did for us !

United KingdomNothing! We loved it all.
Such a great location, right in the heart of Rabat. Down a small alley, filled with flowers. A true traditional house, kept with style. We live in Gozo and came here for a weekend break, and do not like staying in large hotels so this was the perfect option. The place is quiet, has everything you need and the owners are delightful. They were so helpful and kind with everything we needed. Coffee shops and restaurants round the corner. The breakfast was perfect, a huge selection prepared every morning. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace and enjoying. There is also a real coffee machine :)
