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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

A lovely guest house, the rooms are modern, clean and have all the facilities you could need. It is in a superb location on Ocean Road, close to all the amenities, the metro station and seafront. The full english breakfast is excellent and comes with cereals, toast and hot and cold drinks. Absolutely brilliant value for money!

The room we had was a little small. However everything was extremely comfortable. Two big people or people with lots of luggage might find the room we had a little cramped.
Rez is a very attentive host and took the trouble to make sure we were comfortable. The bed and shower were very good and there was a complimentary box of chocolates provided plus tea and coffee etc. It was very helpful having a fridge in the room and Rez provided fresh milk. We didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. There was plenty of storage for clothes for the few nights we were there. The location is great - handy for the beach, shops and interchange. We were in a room at the back so had no problem with noise, apart from the gulls in the morning which can't be helped. We could hear other guests going in and out but it wasn't disturbing at all. Rez helped us with transporting luggage upstairs and was kind enough to let us leave our luggage for a few hours after checkout on our last day. We would definitely stay again.

Availability of parking. However, that is not to the detriment of Beechwood Guest House. It is how it is on Ocean Road with any form of accommodation. Apart from that I can't think of anything. If I was being really unreasonably fussy, maybe: The orientation of the bed to the tv, No heating in the en-suite, so very cold. But I will put the caveat that the guest house on the whole certainly exceeded our expectations.
Size of the room, Facilities in the room, Additional small additions to the room (cotton buds, makeup pads, sponge to wash cups etc), Location - although Ocean Road is a busy road full of restaurants etc. The guest house being where it is means there was very little disturbance from outside, The very helpful gent running the establishment, Helpfulness of those at the Establishment, Choice of tea brands, Fridge in the room,

I liked everything
Ιt was a great pleasure staying at Beechwood guest house. Rez was an amazing host, I had everything I needed in my room, so much coziness and warmth to fight the cold outside. Unfortunately, I was n't able to enjoy the famous breakfast of Rez but...well, next time! The location is also excellent, one breath away from the sea, restaurants, coffee shops and metro station. I was waking up every morning with the sound of the seagulls flying. Highly reccomend it and would definitely like to stay there again. Thank you for having me.
