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...).

IrelandThe room was tiny. We were told that it was normally only given to guests who book through Booking.com and who stay for one night. There was not enough room to open our bags on the floor beside the bed. There are stairs in the room too. In the morning we had no hot water in the shower - not the temperature, literally nothing came out of the hot tap. The manageress told us that was 'unfortunate'.
The staff in the bar were friendly. The location is great - just opposite the gates to Mdina. There is parking nearby but it can be hard to find a spot!

PolandI really regret that I couldn't stay there longer. Marisa and the whole staff made this place really special. Everything: the service, beautiful room, food, localisation in the neighbourhood of Mdina - is on the highest possible level. I fully recommend this place and will definitely come back! Thank you Marisa.

the location is great, but I If I were to plan my trip again I would book a nicer hotel for this money elsewhere on Malta as it’s easy to commute to Mdina and there is not much to see for an overnight stay. the hotel room I was in was small, basic and old. the breakfast was nice in the morning.

United KingdomIt's not easy to find a place to stay in Malta without compromising a little. But this hotel has an atmospheric location at the gate of old Mdina, with wonderful views over the island. Green spaces are nearby. Mdina itself is centrally located and perfect for exploring the rugged and less-crowded south coast by car. And the hotel has an (admittedly less atmospheric) large public car park right outside (but this is important in Malta given the challenges in finding a car park - even here its challenging to find a park during working hours.) The hotel itself is a charming old building (loved the Maltese balconies), comfortable, good bathrooms etc. Staff went to a lot of trouble to ensure comfort. Thank you. A place to come back to. The single room was large, very good value and very comfortable, but it does look out into a light well, so I upgraded to a room with a view for the second night. Well worth it. Lots of cable channels as well, if that's your thing. Nice terrace (looking out on to the main square, the Mdina gate and of course the car park- not half as bad as it sounds - really!

Very nice housing, amazing location, 2 minutes away from the Mdina Gate. 1 minute away from bus stop. Nice view. The rooms were very clean, comfortable beds. Every day we found a bottle of water for every person in the room, which was very nice, especially in those evenings when we forgot to buy ourselves water. The breakfast was very good, and it offered a good variety. Good coffee, and the staff was very kind.

BelgiumThe booking page specifically mentions that there is a parking, however when we arrived and called the hotel they told us that it was full due to a local holiday. After a good hour looking for a parking spot in the city we gave up and booked a different hotel in a different city. The guest house could have either reserved parking spots for all their guests or at least informed us in advance that there was going to be a local holiday and that the hotel would not be reachable by car.
Nothing, we never made it.

location and views. interesting room with fabulous view across Malta. great view of fireworks on New Year’s Eve. somehow the room naturally maintained a perfect temperature without having to use air con. choice of places to eat within the property. staff exceptionally helpful. at first this place doesn’t look so appealing from the front but I stayed 9 days over Christmas and new year and was sad to leave. inside it has lovely floors and comfortable furniture. bus services plentiful with 2 buses to airport. great central spot to be based in away from the throng of tourists in Valletta. Most of the tourists coming coming for the day and leaving at dusk.
