How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

During my stay we had some specific situation which hotel solved fast without some bad moments. But receptionist should in future control better who is entering in the hotel,especially when somebody has not room in it because that can ruin safety from other guests. I payed room in hotel where I expect safety first,that i can sleep calm, without people on my floor which make noise and are agressive to another people without purpose. Hotel manager is very good because she solved problem very fast and she was calm and gave to us great solution. But receptionist should take care better in future about strangers in the hotel in which they dont stay.
Friendly staff,nice location,close to the center

The position of the AC opposite the bed as it blows directly to your head and it's not comfortable to sleep that way without getting a cold, but on the other hand it is impossible to sleep with no AC. As we were here end of May we could open the balcony door and you could feel some breeze, but for light sleepers like myself the noise from outside might be a problem.
Spaceous room and bathroom Clean facilities, the staff were cleaning the room and changing towels everyday Decent breakfast Nice location

We didn't like Breakfast as not many options.
Hotel's location is good and near by to many restaurants, public transport and beaches. The room provided to me have too small bath area. When requested to change room, they changed room on very next day.

Being so close to the club area, sometimes the surrounding area got loud; this was audible inside the room as well. However, I found things mostly quieted down by midnight, so I never had trouble sleeping.
The location—right in the heart of Paceville / St. Julian's—was ideal. You're right next to all the bars / clubs, as well as many restaurants. The room was clean and modern, and the price (in March) was great!

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Ivy. Everything was just as depicted in the photos, the location was convenient, and the atmosphere was peaceful. The hotel is ideally situated, with restaurants, 24h store and public transport within walking distance. The room was spotless, and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job maintaining the cleanliness throughout our stay. The reception staff were friendly and polite, and they kindly held our suitcases on the last day after check-out, which was very convenient. However, they didn't engage too much. Wi-fi was great. A particularly lovely touch was the provision of coffee and milk in the room, making it easy to enjoy a hot beverage without having to leave the comfort of our room. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Hotel Ivy and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting St Julians.

You could ask the guests to keep it quiet since our neighbors were literally partying in their rooms and the hallway, laughs and screams until 2 in the morning. An additional drawback (which cannot be controlled by the hotel) are the constructions in the area which cause a lot of noise.
Clean, great central location, friendly staff, modern design

Our shower door were a little bit broke, so we couldn't close them properly, also there was noise, since the hotel's location is near clubs and bars.
I liked that hotel was in the heart of St. Julians, there was a bus stop 2min. away, comfy bed, a lot of space in the room.

I find the walls thin. I am a light sleeper and my room was close to the lift. In the morning, I get waken up by people chatting, am assuming staff in the breakfast area. I was in room 101. It was as if conversations were taking place in my room.
I love the size of the room, the design and the bathroom was beautiful. I really like the modern and glamourous design of the room and bathroom. And there was a small fridge.
