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...).

GermanyVery noisy - the doors were quite tough to open/close quietly, and there was no soundproofing.
Super location with easy access to the Three Cities and Valletta. Very helpful and responsive host. Easy check-in/check-out.

NetherlandsNothing. Everything was perfect. The only thing is that the closest supermarket is at around 1,5km but Bolt delivery is available.
Great location (just a minute away from the ferry which goes to Valetta and from bus stop). The studio is in a beautiful historical building. I stayed there 5 days and felt very confortable in the studio, it has everything needed (kitchen, iron, confortable bed, etc). Great host who was very available and answered my messages quickly. I will stay again there for my next trip. :)

United KingdomThe only down side to the location was the church bells, which our balcony opened up to. On our first day they went off at 6am, then again at 8am. The rest of the week they started at 8am. It was also unfortunate that during our stay Victory Square was undergoing major road works which also contributed to the morning activity.
Our stay here really exceeded expectations. Howard was a communicative and welcoming host and this property was run very professionally. The room was clean, well supplied and had a comfortable bed. The room we were assigned (Room 4) was much larger than in the photos. It even included a large bathroom with a shower and bath! Birgu as a location is perfect for a couples holiday, it feels very safe and has real character. None of the touristy hustle and bustle you get in areas like St Julians while still being within a good distance to Valetta by bus or ferry. At night it was quiet and peaceful.

A quiet and beautiful area of Malta's old district of Birgu. The location is excellent - you can reach any corner of Malta. Nearby there are local shops where you can buy everything you need, as well as cozy restaurants.

CyprusWe was on the 3rd floor and the stairway to the appartment was a push for our legs. But kept us fit.... Not really a problem whatsoever, but for anyone who couldn't climb them easily it would be worth requesting a studio on a lower level
Studio was equipped with everything we needed. Really comfy bed and lovely shower. The location was excellent and close to the ferry and birgu square.

South Africa.
Our stay at the studio apartment on 15 Main Gate in Birgu, Malta, was truly unforgettable. The apartment's modern amenities, combined with its historic charm and stunning views of the church, made for a perfect retreat. Nestled in the heart of Birgu, we were just steps away from charming cafes, historic sites, and vibrant local culture.
