How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe view from the window lifted my spirits every morning. The room and bathroom were very clean and large. The windows were located so the heat didn't build up during the day. The building is safe, new, and very comfortable. The bathroom has mini toiletries, coffee, and a coffee machine in the room. There's always separate water and juice in the hallway. The owner is very helpful and available for any need. We highly recommend breakfast at Jacob's. Very well located for public transport. A taxi transfer from the airport took 20 minutes. The bus to the airport took 30 minutes. A sandy beach is within walking distance, and snorkeling spots are 6 minutes from the apartment. Various restaurants and tavernas are nearby. Well-stocked grocery stores are nearby.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect, no riff raff of drunken hooligans-Jacob’s coffee shop which is around the corner, cheap and an awesome flat white! Plenty of on street parking if you’ve hired your own vehicle-1 minute walk. Very clean, secure, safe included. Bathroom was perfect, with plenty of towels provided. The balcony had a great view towards Triq-ix-Xatt and the Cathedral/Church, overlooking the promenade. No issues with WiFi or the Air-Conditioning, checking in, or checking out.
Small fridge, however, I wanted to fit a full size tiramisu cake 😂 Just cut and use the shelves-cutlery is available at the property.

Verified reviewWarning: Dishonest and disrespectful host Construction noise from 7:45 AM every day ruined our stay (April 19–26, 2025). This was never disclosed. The host ignored all messages, showed zero concern, and offered no solution or apology. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful. Future guests, be warned — avoid this place
Dear Luciana, I’m disappointed to read your review, especially as it contains inaccurate and misleading claims. The nearby construction was clearly disclosed in both the listing description and a photo, including the legal operating hours — all visible prior to booking. You completed a 7-night stay without raising any concerns at the time, and only requested compensation after checkout, which makes your complaint difficult to view as genuine. I run this property with transparency and care, and I always aim to resolve any issues quickly if brought to my attention during the stay. Reviews like this, especially when not based on facts, are not only disappointing — they also unfairly impact the overall score on this platform, which is built on trust. I remain committed to honest hosting and encourage future guests to read listing details carefully and communicate openly. — Maria

Verified reviewAmazing location - the water, bus stops and nice restaurants were really close. Big room, comfortable bed, all the needed things are present, including hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner and even body lotion! Very nice host, clear instructions and rules, and lovely sweets for guests. Easy check-in and check-out. 25% discount to a great cafe nearby.
Humidity was very high, probably because windows were facing the wall instead going outside on some street, so opening windows isn’t really helpful. As a result it was not easy to get the towels dry, but they provided 2 big towels per person, which was very thoughtful.

Verified reviewEverything was great. The host was really nice and helpful whenever we needed. The room was clean and new, exactly like in the pictures. Great location, close to the main bus station from Marsaskala, and close to the beach (St. Thomas Bay Sandy beach).
Our room didn't have a balcony so it would have been great if there was something in the bathroom to put the wet clothes on. Apart from that, which is not such a big problem, everything was perfect!

Verified reviewWe were met at the airport by Justin who then delivered us to our hotel. Along the way he shared what Malta was known for, some back ground history and some of the best places to visit while we were there. We were met at the door by Maria who was absolutely lovely as well and very responsive when we had questions.
The only thing I can think of is maybe a little more water pressure in the shower. But there was also a hand wand that was available for use to compensate.

Verified reviewThe host Maria was very nice and welcoming. The room was clean, and the area was very nice. The airco/heater in the room was nice to have.
The way to operate the shower wasn't very useful. Little water pressure, if you only wanted the top shower head the bottom one went too. The toilet kept dripping which was sometimes audible in the room. Very minor inconveniences though!
