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 KingdomThe apartment needs renovating, painting at least to cover the ingrained dirt. The price is VERY high for the standard of accommodation.
The location is great. A short walk to the old town. There are some sea views.

United KingdomWe didn’t have any outdoor furniture which was a shame when the weather was perfect to sit outside to eat and drink. The kitchen lacked a chopping board and decent glasses. I couldn’t get the microwave to work. The location is up a very steep hill and has lots of steps.
The apartment had been refurbished to a modern clean look.

United KingdomThe property is literally at the top of a massive hill. It is a canter down to the old town however it is a shift to get back up to the property. Best to avoid here if you have any mobility issues. My wife and I are both fit and found it challenging particularly late at night after a few drinks. Taxis/ubers can take you right to the top but the old town is difficult to source a taxi. My wife and I arrived at 11am however were told our room would not be ready till 4:30pm. A but frustrating as I enquired about early check in and never heard back. Room was ready for 3:30pm and we were able to use the pool in the meantime so not really a big deal. The property appears to have longer term tenants as it is a huge site. My wife and I were on a landing with a family who seemed to let their kids run amok, screaming in the landing very late at night, banging doors, getting food all over the banisters in the stair well and chapping residents doors. Our neighbours also found it a good time in the early hours to hoover and mop the floor landing. A bit frustrating but really did enjoy my stay.
The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed are comfy and the air con was good. The pool area with the bar and restaurant right next to it was fantastic. It is only a ten minute walk down to the heart of the old town with lots of bars and restaurants along the way. Its about an hour on foot from the strip however an uber takes about 7 minutes and was only about €5. Very good value for money.

United KingdomOur room had a terrace with a big tree in front of it so we never got any sunlight on it. Terrace looked a bit run down with old chairs and tables.
Great pool with cafe / bar serving drinks and cocktails. Pools were a great size with lots of sun loungers and parasols. Room was good size, it was clean and modern. Can't expect 5* for the price, for what we paid it was great.

United KingdomVery dated interior, no sponge/brush to wash up, no toaster, no aircon, no fan, no colander to rinse salad etc for food, no dish drainer so not that well equipped for sale catering but we ate out pretty much every meal anyway. No room service during the 7 night stay. Pillows were just stuffed full of loose foam. Bath was stained.
Nice big room with a very big balcony, decent sized bathroom n shower, was clean, decent shower. kitchen has just enough to get by. Staff were friendly, great views and a clean area to look around. Late checkout at 11am , pool area was fantastic, big, plenty of space, good selection of bar drinks but didn't actually eat there.

IrelandAll the steps to the appartment blocks in the c 10 plus d 10 _d12 area And of course the fact I'd No wifi available in my appartment lucky I had some at the pool area tho
The location was great , not far from the beach, and old town .I discovered we were just a short walking distance to the marina also ,, it was the 2nd time we stayed here , the 1st time we had a lovely appartment in block A, the only thing I didnt like this time round was how far away my appartment was situated away from the pool. All the steps once u leave your appartment you would want to be quiet fit not suffering with a bad leg or ankle for those steps ahead of u ,, we made sure once we left the apartment there was no turning back with the 100s of steps involved . THE POOL AREA WAS SUPERB WITH A LOVELY VIEW OF THE SEA . Looking forward to seen what improvements they make b4 our stay next year .
