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.).

United StatesIn the room the ceiling lights are a bit too bright, personally would like softer bulbs. We mostly used the little side lamps and desk light.
Location was great for being central of Rabat. The family that runs the hotel and restaurant really great people.

United KingdomThe hotel is a little gem. I can't fault it. Super location within Rabat, near restaurants & bars, walking distance to Mdina. The room was spacious & spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, and cooked fresh to order. Nice selection on the buffet. Staff were friendly & professional I'd stay there again, no hesitation

AustraliaIt is a quirky 70’s style hotel, and that’s great but felt that some furnishings were a bit tired. The towels need to be replaced as getting a bit thin.
We loved the location and the big spacious rooms. The staff were very welcoming and helpful ( we ask a lot of questions about the local area!) Kelly was very accommodating and assisted with a late check out request due to our late flight departure. Suggest that there is more info on the history of the building and how it looked and functioned as an old movie theatre. Breakfast team also really good and offered a great variety of items.

The staff were exceptional, we let them know about some mould build up in the bathroom of our room and they apologised profusely and got onto it straight away. They cleaned it all up and also gave us a complimentary dinner at their restaurant. The food was incredible, an amazing breakfast variety and a beautiful dinner menu.

RomaniaThe only think that we dislike is that it's that it's kind of noisy during evening due to the restaurant in the hotel and our room being very close to it.
This is an amazing hotel and i highly recommend. The food is just amazing & such great host & staff. The location also is on a very narrow street, but for us this was perfect.

UkraineI got a double instead of twin room, but it probably was a fault of booking system, not hotel. A little bit noisy in the morning, when cleaning in other rooms starts.
Hotel with nice location if you want to visit both Rabat and Mdina. Lovely big rooms, big balcony, nice clean bathroom. Friendly staff - hotel is a family run business. Good restaurant in the hotel - food is very tasty! Good breakfast with variety of hot egg dishes, ham, cereals, fruits, juices etc. I appreciated bottle of water and cofee maker in the room

United KingdomLoved this hotel. Breakfast was amazing. My sister is lactose intolerant and we eat halal only but there was plenty vegan and veggie options for breakfast which they cooked fresh for you there and then. Including vegan sausages btw 🙈 would definitely recommend, location was great with bus stop round the corner. Cute little cafes and shops. Had a room with a balcony which was great because rabat is so scenic. Staff are so kind and friendly. Highly recommended

United KingdomOnly downside was that we had a hire car and parking is street only so in busy periods it was hard to find a space. Obviously not a problem if you’re on foot!
Staff were very efficient and friendly. Breakfast was excellent with a choice of continental and cooked options. Location was great, down a lovely side street in the centre of Rabat. Mdina is very close by and a joy to wander around. Lots of cute cafés and restaurants nearby.
