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 KingdomCharge for the room safe @ €2.50 per night. Usually complimentary at 4* hotels. Beers a little pricey compared to the bars outside.
Good facilities. Friendly staff. Plenty of choices for breakfast. Decent sized pool. Not a bad location, 10 mins walk from the main Old Town area.

The Vila Gale was in a very good location with easy access to the Old Town and the Strip. The reception was very helpful and did see to all our needs. The waiters and restaurant stall were impeccable and the breakfasts had everything you neededvto set you up for the day. The rooms were firstclass and the cleaners changed the towels daily, kept the rooms clean. All in all I would definitely recommend a visit to this hotel. Rita Davies Susan Davies Room 144

United KingdomPool was great loads of sunbeds .
Rooms good and good views. Staff at poolside bar for food need to learn how to take order's for food, they haven't got table numbers so just come out shouting what chef has given them . Your order could be given to other people who have ordered similar food absolute chaos . It happened to everyone. Otherwise a really decent stay great location .

United KingdomThe only thing I would improve is the comfort of the bed. The pillows were nice and plumped but the bed was a little was tough.
The property was very well kept, cleaned every morning and the facilities were great. The breakfast each morning was good with a wide selection and the pool bar was equally well stocked. it had a great, large pool and the location between the new and old town was perfect.

United KingdomYou used to supply complementary crisps and nuts in the dog and duck bar which was a nice touch, unfortunately this is not the case now. I also noted that there was quite a lot of staff in Dog and Duck bar but frustratingly didn't engage to serve. This maybe because they were new and being trained. Also the service at snack bar around the pool is very slow and could do with some table service. With regards to the room, it was good but there was a smell of drains in the bathroom.
