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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
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.
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.).

GermanyThe only draw back is that even the breakfast has a big variety, we were missing changes made at least every alternate days. Every day was the same stuff. For us, if we would had stay longer then a week, we would have look for an alternate place in between. We had once dinner in the ground floor restaurant. The fish of the day, was not fresh and the chicken burger was tasteless.
We stayed one week in 1926 Le Soleil Hotel & Spa. The location was good. Ferry Terminal to go to Valetta, 3cities and other places are in walking distance. Restaurants as well. The staff, especially in the morning for serving the breakfast buffet, were fabulous. Free Parking around the hotel was much easier then expected to find. The gym was well equipped.

RomaniaThe breakfast was the same every day - it was ok for us for 4 days, but if you plan a longer stay it might get repetitive. However the food was good!
We had a room with a jacuzzi on the balcony - a very nice surprise. The room was clean, bathroom clean, provided bathrobes and slippers. Very nice and clean as a whole, even the elevators were cleaned regularly. Pool on the terrace and pool on the ground floor heated and clean. Spa services very nice with very accomodating personnel.

United KingdomFirst and foremost, the staff was brilliant. Very friendly and polite, attentive to all our needs. The hotel itself was beautifully decorated and immaculate. We were upgraded to a Superior room and found it to be very comfortable and cozy. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The location was also brilliant, within a short distance of shops, bars, restaurants, the sea front, the ferry to Valleta (which only takes 5 minutes!)... All in all, we had a brilliant time and will certainly choose this same hotel if we come back to Malta. Thank you.

CroatiaThe common areas of the hotel look nice and feel luxurious. The room not so much. The room and balcony doors look cheap. There are tiles on the floor instead of carpet or wood. There is not enough shelving and hangers in the bathroom and the shower door leaked water all over bathroom. The blacony is small, barely fitting two chairs, no table.
Great location, only few minutes to bus stations and the ferry ststion. Very good breakfast. The staff was amazing.

SwedenThe breakfast was very tasty and full of choice and the rooms were clean. The hotel is also close to the bus station so it makes it so easy to go to Valletta from there. One extra thing we appreciate is we took their spa service, but their spa was in maintenance so they sent us to different hotel with a free of charge taxi!

LatviaRoom service knocks on the doors quite frequently, also at 9 on Sunday morning (we did not find: do not disturb signs anywhere), a bit too crowded spa (due to cold weather, I assume). No SPA treatments available immediately, however - most likely reason was again the bad weather.
Perfect breakfast for just 15 EUR - buffet style, incl. everything you could want. Very comfortable room, comfortable bed, clean, very good location - supermarket just around the corner, shopping malls in walking distance. Fantastic terrace and pool on the roof, great small spa inside the hotel with sauna, pool.

GermanyWas surprised that the indoor pool that is advertised is actually part of a spa and kids are only allowed 0800-1000. It worked out ok for us (and the facilities are nice!) but it was a surprise that locations in the hotel (restaurant and rooftop pool as well) didn’t allow kids. We travel with and without our kids but had them on this trip and would like to have known the age restrictions in advance. The rooms were a little plain and tired in some places. Housekeeping was great and worked hard but some artwork or mirrors might warm it up a little.
Fantastic staff that spends time getting to know you even on short trips. Everyone smiled and was willing to help or go the extra mile. Breakfast was great. Plenty of options for everyone. The location was good for the ferry ride to Valletta and for walking along the water.

United KingdomDuring our stay the sauna, steam room and pool heating were all not working, however I would also attribute this to the storm as a one-off. It was unfortunate but didn’t affect our stay too much as we wanted to explore the city.
The hotel is gorgeous, with very helpful and friendly staff that upgraded us to a family room upon our arrival. They offered complimentary trips to tourist attractions (Mdina, Marsaxlokk, etc) amongst other things as part of the stay. The gym was also well equipped. We stayed during a very heavy storm in January, which unfortunately caused a leak in our room. However, the staff were very quick to help us and move us to a room of equal size. The hotel app was also useful for finding out events, alongside the staff telling us what we could expect for the week.

United KingdomMy only slight disappointment was the size of the spa ‘swimming pool’. Too small for actually swimming if 1/2 other people in it, but appreciate design space compromised.
The hotels location was great and very close to Sliema’s main sea front, and for catching public transport elsewhere. The hotel also organised a (vintage) bus tour (about half a day) to a neighbouring coastal resort, the impressive Mdina walled city and a walled garden on return.
