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 KingdomVery narrow spiral staircase from 1st to 2nd floor, which would have been very noisy had anyone else been staying in the building at the same time.
Friendly and helpful manager and staff who were able to find us an alternative, newly refurbished room, when emergency rewiring had to take place just before our arrival and recompensed us in cash for the inconvenience. The location is near restaurants, but quiet at night and it felt very safe walking about.

United KingdomI had no complaints but hubby did find the bed uncomfortable so I guess it is a personal taste/preference.
Communication with Renalt was second to none. Really a top host. The apartment was clean, cosy and so close to the ferry, the square and lots of museums. As it was off-season, we met many locals, in various places and we were made feel so welcome. Will be back for sure. Easy access to public transport.

Plenty of free parking spaces on the nearby waterfront. The roof with a beautiful view across across the harbour to Valletta and Senglea.

The location is quite convenient and calm. The apartment had a well-equipped kitchen and a barbecue zone that we did not use. If you want to go to the city center, you can take a taxi boat to Valleta. There are nice restaurants close by that serve amazing local food.

Location was superb - all three cities within walking distance and just a short ride to Valletta (10 minutes) and Gozo (45 minutes) on ferry / catamaran. Owner spent a good 10–15 minutes in his busy restaurant showing me bus routes, ferry routes, places to see etc. on city map which made the trip much easier to plan.

Really nice location, nice views, easy check in.

United KingdomA joy from start to finish. Renalt ( the host ) provided a transfer to arrive at his cafe/bar and upon arrival we were sat down and given a free drink. Then after a small relax, he kindly showed us to our apartment ( 5 Minutes away ). Provided us with all information and his number if we have any problems ( not needed ). He kindly let us have the top floor and we were just a few steps away from the roof terrace, which breakfast was a joy to behold in the morning. The location is superb for all needs and a small walk to the fast ferry was always something of a pleasure. By far this exceeded my expectations and so much value for money. If I could praise more, I would. We will come to Malta again and we will be using this little gem...Thank you Renalt for a warm welcome and beautiful stay.

Number 20 is a charming old 3 storey building with an apartment on each floor. It's in a great location in beautiful Birgu (Vittoriosa). Walk to restaurants, grocery shop, bus stop, and water taxi in 2 minutes. Walk to Valletta ferry in 15 mins. Apartments are larger and much nicer than appear in photos. Apartment no. 3 on top floor has a small open balcony. The others have enclosed Maltese-style balconies. Kitchen is equipped for cooking simple meals. Multiple TV channels available in several languages. Roof terrace has furniture to relax while enjoying the amazing view, especially at sunset. Great value for money.

The apartment is better than in pictures. It quite wide and big, plenty of space to put things (cabinet, two tables). The kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom was nice, the shower cabin big enough. Confortable bed. There is a terrace with a fantastic sunset view over L'Isla and La Valeta.
