Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomThe flat is next to the beach with a nice terrace and sea view. There is a big free parking 5 min walk from flat or sometimes there were available parking spots near the house itself. The flat interior is fairly simple but there is everything what might be needed. The host responds quickly

AustraliaThe premises, on entering from the street, was not kept in a clean or tidy manner. There was what looked like discarded building materials left in the hallway.
The apartment was a central location to transport, restaurants, and leisure activities.

AustraliaUnfortunately there was a day without water but Manuel was excellent in communicating and was helpful throughout despite it being entirely out of his control.
The location is great. right on the beach and a handful of restaurants close by. Also close to Marsaxlokk and east to access airport from. The apartment is traditionally decorated and the locals speak Maltese as well as English so we got a more authentic Maltese experience here.

This apartment was fantastic it had everything we needed, really comfy beds lovely bed covers too, everything was spotless! And it was so handy to have kids beach stuff already there too, the owner was very helpful. I also think this had the nicest terrace and beautiful views! We also drove around to the top 3 beaches in malta and I don't think they were a patch on our little pretty bay beach. If we ever go back to malta again I would definitely book this apartment again!

United KingdomFour weeks without a lift .81step up and then 81 steps down which limited the times I could go out due to my heart condition I spoke to Manuel and he said it would be fixed within the fist week this didn't happen. So this ruined my holiday. This apartment was advertised with a working lift not so. Very disappointed 😔

United KingdomFor the price that I pay it's not admissible to have cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom. There was something in the bed (bugs) because, after the first night, I had my legs all bitten by something! There are 2 or 3 restaurants/takeaway at the entrance of the apartment so there is some noise at night.
Not being in the apartment. The country is very beautiful.

United KingdomBathroom could benefit from fresh sealant around the bath tub
Very pleasantly surprised by apartment 3. Large living area with fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave, TV, wifi, sofa & dining table. Bedroom 1 with double bed & bedroom 2 with two singles. Shower over bath. Great views over the beach from lounge with plenty of restaurants & bars close by. Had one minor issue with hot water (we accidentally switched it off), so messaged owner. He responded almost immediately & advised how to switch it back on. Excellent bus service to Valetta (35 min for Eur2) with bus stop very close by. Would definitely stay here again

PolandThe property Pretty Bay Apartments does not offer catering. There are many bars in the area where you can eat well and cheaply. The flat itself is located very close to the beach. Just cross the street and you are already there. Contact with the owner was very good. He answered any questions quickly. Very good transport links allow you to visit other locations in Malta.

BelgiumThere is very little space.Contrary to the usual response of the owner to criticism "everything is on the photos", one doesn't know how little movement space there is unless one is there.Even less does one know that the children's room smells of damp with door closed, the fridge is way too small, the wifi signal is weak, the sofa very old and stained, the shower head oxidated and the water pressure weak,the hall and stairs a proper mess with stains and garbage.Apparently due to an electricity cut the lift had suffered damage,and our apartment was on the 4th floor, but despite the claim by the owner that it would be repaired the day after our arrival,it wasn't.The owner also often replies along the lines of that's what you get for the price,however we spent the first half of our holidays in a great apartment with 2 bedrooms on the north of Malta at a lower cost.All the more to regret why we didn't spend the whole of our holidays there.
There are beach towels,alongside with other towels provided. The terrace is nice,though we found it too hot to pass much time there at this time of the year,but certainly nice in spring or automn.The kitchen is fully equipped.

United KingdomNot actually 2 bedrooms, double bed in the kitchen. Single beds were tiny bunk beds in a room they could barely fit in. double bed is not large, and is just a fold out bed. very dated. cannot lock any of the balcony doors so not secure. in what felt like a derelict building. Rotten eggs left in the fridge. not as described on here at all, do not book, especially with family.
It was by a beach I guess

Amazing place with the best location! it’s a little bit far from the centre of Malta, but buses and taxi are available (bus stop - 2 min) everything that you would like to find is behind the door ☺️. Apartment is so pretty! if you would like to be in the heart of night life you should not stay in Birzebbuga. But for us it was perfect! Also you should understand it’s not 5* hotel.
