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.).

A superb property with wonderful owners. We felt really well looked after. Especially as I need a gluten free diet. The owners made sure that I had nice gluten free bread for my breakfast every day. The room was really comfortable and quiet for good nights sleep. Certainly would recommend this property to anyone staying on Gozo.

MaltaI recently had the pleasure of staying at The Carob Tree, and I must say it was an amazing experience! The B&B offers stunning views of Gozo's lush greenery, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The location is wonderfully quiet, yet it's still close to all the amenities you need, making it the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. The breakfast was superb—delicious and freshly prepared, setting a perfect tone for the day ahead. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The property itself was spotless, and the room was equipped with everything one could possibly need for a comfortable stay. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention to detail goes into maintaining this beautiful place. We will definitely be revisiting The Carob Tree in the future. Keep up the great work! Highly recommend!

The carob tree is just the best b&b I have ever been too. It is like home from home, but with sunshine and fabulous surroundings! We love exploring so was perfect for us being able to go out with a car and also on foot. The breakfast was great and being able access to water and tea and coffee all day is fab!

We stayed at The Carob Tree for 5 nights. We really enjoyed our stay there. It was very relaxing. The beautiful design of the house, always very very clean, family atmosphere, the owners are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very varied and delicious. The location is also very good, with Uber or Bolt you can reach everything in less than 10-15 minutes. If we ever go on holiday to Gozo again, we will definitely stay at Carob Tree again.

United KingdomJust perfect. Loved every second. The place is stunning, super clean, and there's such attention to details in all the design and decor. Lovely open view across the fields from the balconies, and even a little sight of the sea near Mgarr. Clementa and Matthew are the perfect hosts, wonderful people. Went the extra mile wherever they could. Ir-rabat (Victoria) is only a short walk, or you can get the bus right on the corner which will get you there in a couple of minutes, or get bus the other direction down to lovely Xlendi for a swim.

SpainThe bathroom was on the small side - nothing bad, but I think they should add some shelves to make it more functional, especially in the shower. The location is close to Victoria, but not much to see walking distance.
Very nice house, with welcoming hosts! It was very clean and the room was comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the pool was amazing. Loved to spend afternoons there. Free coffee, fruits, and filtered water for guests all the time.
