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...).

UkraineVery good place for traveling with friends. Rooms have many beds, but they all have curtains, so you will have your own privacy. Everything is very clean and you can rent a towel for 1€. Super nice from staff to allow to leave the bags after the checkout, so you can spend a nice day and then pick them up before going to the airport. We also had balcony in the room, which was great, you can dry your clothes there. Party on the terrace is also nice, music is great and you can buy alcohol there if you want. I recommend this place!

United KingdomThe cleanliness - zero! Sticky floors, no toilet seats, kitchen - I'd never ever cook anything in there! The staff was rude, not only with me, but I've witnessed a couple situations with other people too! The room had no window whatsoever, AC only works during night - and even that barely works tbh! No nets on the windows, so the rooms and common areas are full of mosquitos. Would never go back.
Bed was comfy

SloveniaThe room in which we were staying was being painted for two days after we arrived. As the windows could not open to the fullest it was really hard to let the fresh air into the room, so we were basically exposed to the fumes. We were not informed about this at check-in and paid the full price. When I approached them about this matter I was really dissapointed by their response and the lack of understanding and kindness of the staff. The level of cleanliness was really low.

AustraliaThe noise coming through into the private rooms where AWFUL! So loud from the guests coming in and out of the hostel. Could not sleep. Also really confusing where the toilets are. There should be better signs especially for private rooms who only see Cabin numbers on the doors

PortugalValue for money on private room is not worth it. Just get someplace in Sliema and go to the Marco polo for party. Private room had a lot of bugs on the walls and the walls were super dirty with dead bugs from previous guests. Super uncomfortable, specially when you pay for a private room. Also, walls super thin you hear everything from the floor you stay in as if people are in your room
The location is close to parties and it's easy to meet people on the hostel rooftop

AustraliaMy friend and I booked a private room for six nights. Upon arrival we were made to wait an extra hour and forty five minutes because there was a late check out. Our private room was surrounded by dorms with thin walls so getting a good nights sleep was very difficult. The room was very small with only the door to the balcony (which you are not allowed to go outside on) being able to bring in any natural light. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was super thin and I could feel the wires poking me all the time. The showers and automatic lights and they would turn off even if you were still showering. The hostel seemed to pride itself on being a communal and 'party' hostel, and therefore if you made any meals you had to eat them on the rooftop. But the atmosphere was not great and not many people seemed to attend the parties the hostel hosted. I would not recommend staying here
The location was good and situated near numerous bus stops which was very helpful because buses are the main mode of transport in Malta.
