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 bars directly below the room were really noisy till late at night, the road outside was like a motorway, really noisy and lots of traffic for 24 hours and every bedroom door slammed, nobody shut them quietly, just let them go, all through the night. The door closers need adjusting. We kept pointing out an open door which was constantly left open with a sheer drop down to the ground floor, just pipes, it was never locked and very dangerous for a child. Nobody locked it or put a lock on it. We were promised a taxi from the airport but no one came, the hotel staff just shrugged their shoulders, we had to book a taxi ourselves.
We had a sea view room and it was lovely to sit on the verandah watching the boats. There was a good breakfast.

RussiaThe breakfast was not very diverse. But the main problem was with the electronic keys. I had to go and change them almost every time, I wanted to come in:-)
The size of the room was quite good, a bed was comfortable, the view was attractive enough, though it could be little bit calmer

United KingdomThe swimming pools were FREEZING so only the heated indoor small pool was useable. The sauna benches were broken so only open for half the stay. It seemed a bit run down inside the room, doorknobs came off bathroom door, ceiling very low, balcony door didn’t lock etc… nothing that affected our stay majorly but just something to note.
The location was great, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice but quite busy. The balcony was lovely and the shower worked great. Reception looked lovely and generally had a nice feel about the place.

BelgiumWe were unlucky to have some young people that smashed the doors at night. The picture of the nice pool are not from the hotel but a ‘sharing pool/restaurant’ cross the street.
For a 3 star hotel we had a very nice room, it was always clean and breakfast was very acceptable. The location is great and the perfect start for trips around the island!

United KingdomWe reached around 1130am but were not allowed to check in before 2pm which is ok as it’s mentioned already but I think the hotel staff could have tried to check us in. Anyways they let us use the luggage room which was good as we only had 2 days in Malta and couldn’t waste any time.. all in all very good and staff also did the best what they could do. Thanks
Breakfast was great. Room, location and staff also great. Thanks a lot to everyone at the hotel, we enjoyed our stay!!

United KingdomATM does charge on cash withdrawals but it does not indicate while making withdrawals that you would be charged a fee.
great location, friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast ! Our room was at the back of the property so didn't get much noise during the nights as mentioned in other reviews by the people who would have stayed in the rooms situated at the front of this property. This hotel is very close to the promenade with lots of pubs and restaurants around so it does get noisy in evenings till late night.

We had a spacious and big room with a side seat view. No noise (which is exceptional for Sliema). Friendly staff, breakfast options, late check out options.
