Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

RomaniaPalazzo Castagna is an ideal resort if you want to spend your honeymoon, if you have business to conduct or just want to simply enjoy Maltese life. I was impressed by their hospitality. I even received a free upgrade to the room. Great mini bar, great room, great area to stay - a classic Maltese one. The hotel is close to Valletta and the airport. You can either take a taxi, drive a car (what an experience to drive on the left), or take a bus. You can finish your night at their rooftop restaurant, near their rooftop pool. Ps: try their pinsa. :)

LuxembourgBreakfast was a huge disappointment. It was a mediocre buffet with not many options if you're not into English breakfast or kelloggs. Honestly this made a dent into the otherwise flawless experience at this hotel. Also, the pool bar has very average cocktails and food...
The room was well designed, comfortable, huge and clean. We enjoyed both pools, the staff was helpful and friendly. We loved the location, the village, the church just outside the hotel. Everything was perfect except the food.

United KingdomWe did not have a balcony, which might be worth checking before booking. Hence no place to dry our beach towels but they offered a laundry service which was a good gesture. It would help to have more hangers on the wall for the bathroom towels; we struggled with the three of us. For such a great hotel, I expected more sophisticated food at the restaurant which was a pub food. You need a car to move around and if you want to have lunch/dinner outside ( 7 min from Marsaxlokk which is perfect)..
Exceptional hotel with very friendly staff. Great breakfast, wish it would be on the roof though, outside. We enjoyed witnessing the religious celebrations which were outside of the hotel. Fotos provided online are a true representation of the hotel.

RomaniaThe breakfast room although nice and beautifully decorated was a little crowded, the tables quite near to one another, you could easily hear everyone else talking but it was not a big deal.
Nice hotel, quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. Clean, we had the windows of our room facing a inner courtyard, at the base floor but it was ok.
