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 KingdomNothing! Our stay was perfect.
We recently stayed at Valletta Lucente Guest House for our 5th wedding anniversary and had the most beautiful stay. The guest house is charming upon arrival with an abundance of historical features, gorgeous high ceilings in the breakfast room and various murals on the staircase walls of the hallway. All of the staff were so welcoming when we checked in and kindly spent time showing us places of interest on the map, many of which we wouldn’t have known to have visited. We can’t express how stunning our room was! We stayed in the suite which was honestly the most beautiful hotel room we have ever stayed in. Our room was also decorated for our anniversary with swans and rose petals which was a lovely touch. The location is excellent, you step straight out of the guest house into the heart of Valletta and within minutes you can walk to all of the main attractions and enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants on the stairs which had a lovely atmosphere. We also loved the ceramic shop within reception, all of which are handmade, and purchased a beautiful ceramic tile which is so unique and reminds us of our holiday. We highly recommend this guest house and will be booking to stay again next year as we plan more trips to Valletta.

Lovely interior with a lot of space to feel at home. Little messages and flours to welcome us. Although it is located in one of the busiest and most photographed streets in Valletta, sound proofing does the job and you can still sleep. The breakfast is an exceptional with loads of selfbaked goods. Alex who served us on our first morning was great and very knowledgeable!

RomaniaAll was fantastic
First of all MALTA it's more beautiful than we can imagine. A perfect combination between the old style with many Romans, African and personal influences. In five days I didn't have time to be bored. Mdina Rabat, Comino Island with Blue Lagoon were my favorites. They know how to make the tourist relax by providing many facilities at low prices. The food is delicious starting with the many kinds of rabbit dishes which is traditional and cheap. The inhabitants give you a sense of peace through their authentic way of behaving. Malta is also accessible to tourists with a limited budget VALLETTA LUCENTE GUEST HOUSE combines the new with the old but also with the traditional in a unique and personal way. The accommodation conditions were beyond expectations. The hosts are very welcoming, assisting with discretion so that we have everything we need. This Guest House it has one of the best positions in Valletta, being located in the most beautiful area with the most popular restaurants and shops, close to the famous St. John's Cathedral. The breakfast is really fabulous and for all tastes. Every day someone discreetly cleans the room. Moreover, discretion is one of the qualities of this place On the ground floor there is also a small traditional art shop that belongs to the owners. From here you can buy a lot of things made by the hosts themselves. The hosts manage to make you feel indeed truly at home. I am overwhelmed by everything that Valletta Lucente Guest House and Malta have meant to me. Although the vacation is over, I can say that my heart is still there and I will definitely come back

The location was fabulous! Really central to everything! Easy to find from the main Valletta bus station. And the staff were so unbelievably kind and thoughtful, even remembered it was our anniversary and made us little swan towels upon arrival. Would absolutely stay here again next time we come to Malta. The homemade breakfast was incredible, really authentic and delicious. The chef himself even remembered us each morning and what coffee we would order, little things like that made us feel really special and welcome.

United KingdomThe room was quirky and different to many rooms we have been in however, it was not very practical due to steps in the room and down to the toilet, it was easy to trip! The health and safety people in the UK would be shocked. The cupboard for clothes was inadequate as there was a lack of shelves so we ended living out of the suitcases. The bed was excellent as was the two terraces.
Location was great. Staff very good and helpful.
