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.).

BulgariaThe hotel is amazing. I feel like I paid nothing for the value I received. I got everything I wanted whenever I wanted it. The staff was very kind and friendly. The breakfast the best I have ever experienced. Apart from the normal buffet you could order hot meals and also there were cakes like tiramisu included in the price. Overall, you will not regret staying at this hotel!

Adelphi Boutique Hotel is a well designed and furnished family run quiet accommodation. It is located in the beautiful city of Rabat. Malta's public transport bus stops for airport transfers and as a starting point for tours on the island are nearby, as is the city of Mdina. On the ground floor there ist the associated restaurant that also offers local dishes at fair prices. The staff in the hotel as well as in the restaurant is friendly and service-oriented.

United KingdomThe room was lovely and really enormous, with a large double bed and a big area behind it with a sofa plus a quite substantial balcony. It also had a huge bath with shower. The location is quiet in a pedestrian zone, there is also a restaurant in the same building (altho I didn't use it). Altho it is quite difficult to find as Google maps doesn't take you to the right place (as usual), I phoned the hotel and somebody immediately came out to me where I had parked the car and guided me to the hotel.

United StatesRabat is horrible to come by car as parking is atrociously scarce. We came during festival but still it is a difficult city to find parking regardless. If you drive, be patient as you will recirculate the neighborhood looking for space.
Hotel is a great value to stay in Rabat. Very comfortable room with spacious allocations. Wonderful breakfast at the cafe, the best in Malta so far. Location is perfect to stroll to Mdina and Rabat itself.

GreeceUnfortunately, my boyfriend became very ill after eating a burger from the hotel restaurant. He started feeling unwell just a few hours later, with stomach pain and vomiting throughout the night, and we spent most of our Easter holiday focused on his recovery. While the hotel did compensate the meal, we had already paid a significant amount to spend the holidays there, and the experience ended up being very disappointing. Aside from offering tea and plain rice after I asked, the staff didn’t show much care or initiative. They were very defensive, didn’t accept any responsibility, and made us feel uncomfortable for even raising the issue. We also weren’t granted a late checkout, even though his stomach was still unwell, and had to head to the airport hours early just to have access to a couch and restroom. The room itself faced the church bells, which rang loudly and often, even early in the morning. Combined with noisy neighbours, a mewing cat in the middle of the night, and lack of soundproofing, sleep was difficult. That said, if it hadn’t been for the food poisoning and how poorly it was handled, we could have overlooked the rest thanks to the convenient location and beautiful room. A bit of proactive assistance and empathy could have gone a long way.
The location was very good, very close to main Rabat attractions. Within walking distance from Mdina. The room was spacious and beautifully designed.
