Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The hotel is centrally located in Mellieha, just a 2-minute walk from public transportation, making it easy to reach all the major attractions in Malta. We were upgraded to a room with a breathtaking view, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive—when my son fell ill during our stay, they checked in several times to see how he was doing. We’ll definitely return to Solana Hotel if we come back to Malta.

Smell in the room - firstly we came - air refreshener was smelling (not the best), later some other smell - maybe somebody smoked some time ago inside, or it was from walls - I was not able to identify. Whole 3 days entering the room from from other places - them smell was inside. Breakfast room - no space to sit, because a lot of non taken tables from before eaten or some big tables with Reserved cards. Personnel should work better and faster to clean tables.
Clean spacious room and bathroom. View from the roof pools, indoor po, sauna - great to use if weather not the best. Rich breakfast buffet. Good location, few steps from bus stop and restaurants

We had the superior room which was spasious but situated in the basement so the view from the window was poor. According the Booking-reservation we were promised a balcony with city view.
The view from the top floor was excellent. The situation was good: restaurants nearby, bus stop close. The treatments were excellent and easy to book. The breakfast was rich.

Wi-Fi wasn’t great in the hotel and the rooftop pool was cold (as to be expected in October) just a pity it wasn’t heated for the cooler months
Perfect location, lovely lobby bar and live music some nights. The indoor pool and sauna were lovely and the rooftop bar. Room was spacious for 4 of us and very comfortable.
