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...).

GreeceFollow the Sun Hostel clearly excels in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment, evidenced by its friendly staff, clean facilities, and reliable amenities like warm water and comfortable beds. The stunning terrace view and varied breakfast options are significant pluses, contributing to a pleasant and memorable stay. The hostel's quiet atmosphere, while generally positive, also suggests a focus on relaxation. Strengths: * Exceptional Staff: The welcoming nature of the staff is a cornerstone of a positive hostel experience, and Follow the Sun Hostel appears to deliver on this front. * Comfort and Cleanliness: Cleanliness and comfortable beds are essential for any accommodation, and the hostel's provision of these, along with reliable warm water, is commendable. * Terrace Views and Breakfast: The combination of a scenic terrace and a varied breakfast enhances the overall guest experience, providing opportunities for relaxation and social interaction. * Quiet Atmosphere: The quiet ambiance is ideal for travelers seeking rest and relaxation, setting it apart from potentially noisier hostels. * Bed Privacy: The fact that the beds offer sufficient privacy is a large plus for many hostel goers. * Social Atmosphere: Easygoing and friendly and a large Plus is the pool in the backyard Overall: Follow the Sun Hostel appears to be an excellent choice for travelers seeking a clean, comfortable, and relaxing stay in Sliema. Its strengths lie in its attentive staff, well-maintained facilities, and pleasant atmosphere. However, travelers seeking a highly social or party-oriented experience might want to consider alternative options. The hostel's focus on tranquility and comfort makes it a valuable addition to Sliema's accommodation offerings.

FranceThe shower head in my room was slightly broken: you had to use it as a hand held because it wouldn't stay on the hook. Not a big deal, and the water pressure was excellent.
Exceptional value for money - the hostel really exceeded my expectations. I paid around 60 euro total for a 4 night stay, so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but the hostel was really nice and breakfast and towels were even included. I didn't use the pool, but there is one available. They have a very comfortable lounge area and big kitchen for all guests. The room was very clean and quiet (except for the noise of the local roosters in the morning, but that's not the hostel's fault!). The bunk beds have privacy curtains which is a nice touch. Very good location: right next to the bay, and multiple bus stops nearby which can get you to anywhere on the island.

SlovakiaBeautiful historical building near the beach and restaurants. In the wintertime it is a bit cold inside. Heating in the room is upon request. There are 2 shower units, but only 1 toilet in the room for 12, which is not enough, as it is together with a shower. In peak hours it is almost impossible to use a toilet. A fan blowing a cold air just above the shower unit is not a good idea at all! Breakfast was good, coffee just bareable. Staff was very nice and helpful, available nonstop. I would come back :).

IrelandI would suggest something for the room, for example having an extra toilet and having a little box or chaur in the shower where we can leave our stuff while we take shower and be more comfortable. And I will advise a bigger shelf for the bed. That one is very small, you can just place water and phone.
I liked the pool areA, the cleanings, the kitchen area and the people here.

MoroccoHere's a sample review: The staff were super friendly and welcoming, always happy to help with any questions or recommendations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax.One of the highlights of my stay was the social atmosphere - the hostel has a great communal area where you can meet other travelers and make new friends. Overall, I would highly recommend Inhawi Hostel to anyone traveling to Malta. It's a fantastic place to stay, with a great location, friendly staff, and a wonderful atmosphere.

SloveniaWe visited Malta in February so it was sometimes cold. The rooms do not have an AC remote in the rooms so you have to go to the receptionist every time you feel a little bit cold. The rooms got very humid so our towels, pyjamas and bed got wet. We would recommend a dehumidifier.
It was the first time me and my friend stayed in a hostel in general. I was very skeptic but was pleasantly surprised. The staff is friendly and useful, the facilities are clean, the pool area is fun (you are going to meet a lot of cool people), the kitchen is useful and they also have a couch and a room with bean bags to chill. The breakfast is good and they have a lovely terrace where you can eat, drink coffee or just chill and soak in the sun:)

Leaking pipe in the bathroom was fixed within a few hours. Any dirty areas from other hostlers were cleared up quickly.
