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.).

MaltaThe bathroom shower drain overflowed outside in the bathroom leaving a mess, we also had a buzzing sound in the room it's probably coming from the ventilator. During the night I could barely sleep because of the noise. The indoor pool was jam packed and not supervised. Impossible to use because of the children jumping and simply to many people. The parking barrier was open, therefore anyone could park general public included. I had two children of which one has a disability so parking close by is very important. Unfortunately there was nowhere to park so again this was another challenge. Overall it was ok but can't tell it was ideal or worth the money I paid for this time. I will simply rate so and so rather than 1 star for the simple fact that iv been there so many times and this was the first time that I'm disappointed
It's a great hotel we are regulars. The location is very nice.

MaltaThe spa was super crowded with kids and noisy, we had to leave after 15mins. Super clean room! But the fact that you have to wet your hair when you take shower because the shower head is fixed it’s uncomfortable especially for a woman. Last and not least!! The mattress was over used ! Since the mattress was super saggy!

Maltathe rooms are a bit outdated. our fridge was switched off, heating system made a lot of noise, the bathroom is old and we did not have both shower and a bath as indicated in the description of a superior room. Moreover, facilities were constantly occupied especially the sauna, steam room, and indoor pool - we tried going 3 times and it was always filled with a lot of children diving, screaming and splashing. Perhaps the indoor facilities are a bit small/limited considering the size of the hotel.
breakfast was very good, all fresh and several choices. the room sea view was amazing. essence of india was great for dinner.

UkraineThe hotel is quite old and many things need to be redesigned/remodelled/renovated. The shower in the room is horribly uncomfortable and inconvenient. It kept switching off and you also can’t hold it in your hand. You have to wet your hair or wear that horrible plastic hat all the time:( The staff aren’t always smiley and friendly. Some people are, but some restaurant workers are tired of working there, it seems. We had a problem with the lock in our room and couldn’t get inside for an hour and half, we had to wait in the corridor, wasting our time. My boyfriend was late for something important because of this. However the staff didn’t offer or do anything to apologise. Just said “sorry”
Perfect location, wonderful view, nice territory, spa and pools. The service is good overall, drinks at the reception 👍

MaltaFurniture is quite old and the room is not 5-star hotel material. Very outdated. Fitness centre is not well-equipped. It said that there would be a microwave in the room but there wasn’t. AC wasn’t working and during the night it was quite warm because of the very thick blanket. The first sleep was a mess because of the super uncomfortable mattress (which was then dealt with as soon as we complained about it). However, I expected much more from this hotel, not worth the money.
Staff were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was really good with a variety of choices.

SloveniaThe hotel has pure 4 stars, but not 5. The staff was not always helpful, e.g. when we arrived in the midnight there was noone to help us with the luggage, we did not get any details on the hotel premises, etc. Therefore, we were not aware of the spa and other hotel services, and noticed about all those options quite late, before our departure. There is a lot of space in the hotel, like lobbies, corridors, etc. but it looks half closed and empty. There is a lot of staff in the hotel which is not effective as could be.
Location is great! One of the best beaches in Malta is just in front of the hotel. We booked the hotel especially due to this beach and did not regret on our choice. One minus of the location is a camping close to the hotel, and, if your room does not have a seaview, then you will have quite noisy neighbours from the camp. The breakfasts were good with a vast variety of food.

United KingdomThey gave the room I had booked to someone more important as it was a holiday weekend. I had booked the room almost 12 months in advance. They offered an alternative lower grade room initially & free dinner. It's not how I expected to be treated in a 5* Radisson Blu and a regular customer. It certainly doesn't make you feel like a valued customer. I had no choice but to put up with it and make the best of a bad situation as they didn't tell me until I checked in and had already flown to Malta.

LithuaniaFor the breakfast you need to wait in the line until staff lead to the table, annoying. You need to wait until they found you in the pages of room numbers, some stuff was to old and slow, for that kind of work. Rooms and hotel need to be renovate ASAP. Everything are so old, mattress so soft, my back was always in pain the morning. Pillows also to soft. All appliances old. Bathrooms also so old, white silicone already covered in black spots. Our toilet do not work properly, I asked to fixed but not helped. Towers for the beach old and smelling. Lookers inside for swimming pool, old, some not working. Sunbeds old, dirty. Do not have changing room in the beach.
Breakfast was good, big choices off different food. Food was good quality. Food quality was very good in the restaurants, portions a big. Rooms are spacious, nice view from balcony. Stuff friendly. Very good beach. Very good swimming's pools outside, a lot of space, always can find empty sun bed. They have only adults swimming pool. Sauna nice and inside heated swimming pool. A lot of place outside, so you do not feel to much crowded.

MaltaThe quality of the food at the ‘flavours’ buffet could have been much better (during lunches and especially dinners) Nothing out of the ordinary. The food is very mediocre. Certainly not up to 5 star expectations. Especially as my main experience was a sunday dinner. And I was absolutely astonished at the lack of quality of the food. There was so much potential, but it was dry, bland, overcooked, chewy and flavourless. Definitely not a 5 star experience. Never went there for dinners again during my stay.
The breakfast was decently good with good quality of food and a satisfying variety of items of choice from the buffet. The pools are large and clean and facilities were great as well.
