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...).

United KingdomThe area for breakfast was a little small and struggled to serve everyone when busy. I was there at 7:30a, most mornings and it was fine, but the one day I was late it was horrendous - especially with only one coffee machine.
I was glad of the 24/7 reception, as my flight was delayed by 90 mins and I arrived at the hotel around 2:00am. The receptionist (Amine) was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was run by Mariana, who is so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is a standard offering and good enough for what I wanted. The location was perfect as well, close to where I needed to be, close to restaurants, shops and the buses. My recommendation is not to go to the A&Z Mini Market down from the hotel - the people there are ignorant, not friendly and not sure about the age of some of the products. I ended up going to the oz Sofra Balkan & Turkish Foodstore - it was bigger, cleaner and staff friendlier. I will not recommend restaurants, as I am sure a Google search will show you what you would like to eat. I would suggest trying some of the traditional Maltese food - rabbit, pork cheeks and beef.

PolandMy room was on the 2 floor with a city view, it was not very comfortable for me, so the curtain was always closed during my stay. The pool working hours are 10-20, so you can start and finish your day with a lovely swim, but it's ok.
The staff is exceptional, very friendly and ready to help in any situation. The location is also wonderful. I liked the swimming pool on the roof, it's a very nice and quiet place to relax. The breakfast was also great. There are lots of places to eat and a mini market near the hotel. Bus stop is very close which allows to travel around the island easily.

LithuaniaWe were here 7 days. And we booked it with breakfast. Good is good, perfect. But here was all the time the same food. No porridge, no pancakes. I think it can be better if here will be more choice. And of cause parking. But it is problem not because of hotel. Small narrow streets, so few parking places.
Perfect hotel. Very helpful persons. Nice modern rooms. We really liked it.

Canadathis is not applicable - we liked everything. although we would have liked to extend our stay.
Breakfast choices/selection and coffee, juices etc were great, a perfect way to start our day. I liked the staff, who were very personable. I left my purse in a taxi & the staff attempted to help me find it. I didn't realize I had left it in the taxi until we had checked in & gone to our room. Mezhi (sorry if I've misspelt his name) & Alice were calm & methodical in reviewing what could have happened to my purse. I did get my purse back because the taxi driver, along with his next fare came back to the Ibiz with my purse (all in tact).....that spoke volumes to the integrity of the Maltese people. Our stay was great. Not far from the public transportation (we pretty much took buses & ferries everywhere) and a fabulous choice of restaurants and shops. Easy to get our bearings. The centre had some unexpected activities that were fun to watch. Thank you.

AustraliaMy room on the 9th floor had constant sounds of running water through the walls, probably because it was directly below the pool. When I asked, the person at front desk said they couldn't move me because they were full. Can't say the room was cleaned well, I stepped on a peanut when I first went into the room, there were fingerprint marks on the tv, rainfall showerhead looked like it hadn't been cleaned and had calcium build up. Rooftop bar closed early.
Easy walking distance to bus stops and shops/restaurants. Good breakfast options.

MaltaAlthough the breakfast was good and different food to choose from, two things that did bother us were hot food was uncovered so eggs, sausages, baked beans and scrambled eggs were cold. The other side were there are cheese and cakes there were many tiny flies. I had on a small piece of cake so I had to throw it away, maybe an insect catcher thing is needed.
The room was clean and comfortable. Although it would have been better with a mini fridge in this hot weather. Friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay

United KingdomThat we didn't book a longer trip
Firstly, we chose ibis because it was a brand that we knew. However, the stay at ibis Styles St Paul's Bay blew our expectations away. We were greeted by Amin, who helped us get our Keys and let us know about the Hotels Facilities and made it known he would be on hand if we needed him. Mehdi took over from Amin and continued that excellent service for the rest of our trip. The food at breakfast was great, and the staff were attentive to our needs. My wife is pregnant, she doesn't like to fuss but the kitchen staff made sure her every demand was met. Sometimes they would bring freshly made food to the table, always making sure she was attended to. Our room was clean and spacious, we had fresh towels, and the bathroom was restocked daily. We needed extra pillows which were brought to our room quickly. These guys were so attentive. The Pool was clean, and there was enough space to unwind and relax. Honestly I could go on and on and on and on. Our stay was perfect.

United KingdomTo me a small fridge in room would make this hotel a 4 star.
The check in was friendly and welcoming thanks to the receptionist Julieta and Alice. We had 3 rooms for 7 nights and I’ve requested to be next to each other. They are Very spacious and cleaned everyday.the A/C is a bonus for a 34’C Malta.the breakfast so much to option from hot bfast,cereals,cheese,expresso coffee machine as well as the fresh orange juice machine.variety’s of fresh fruits too.special thanks to Carla who look after us as big family every morning.the location is within short walking distance to everything you need. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby as well as tour operators for a day tours. we rented a car throughout our holiday and the parking can be a problem if you arrive late at night but otherwise mostly free parking within the white lines/box space.Overall would recommend Ibis styles hotel anytime of stay around Buggiba.

Czech RepublicWhat I consider as a small disadvantage, is the lack of some beach in walking distance from the hotel. The two beaches in town are not very nice and very tiny. Acces to the sea is overall rocky. You need to drive at least 20 mins to spend a day on a beach.
The hotel was great for our 5-nights stay wih friends. Clean, spacious room with balcony and budget friendly price. Breakfast was very good for 3-star hotel. I would highlight the orange fresh juice, at least 3 choice of fruit, local malteese cheese and pastry. Rooftop pool was small but amazing, we loved hanging out there.
