Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United StatesNone.
The Carob Tree exceeded my expectation. It was clean and beautiful. The decor and color was detailed to perfection. The breakfast was fresh and had a lot of variety. Matthew’s recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants were very helpful and on point. The outdoor seating and pool area was quaint and relaxing. We hope to return very soon.

Czech RepublicVery convenient location, a 15-minute walk to the center, bus connection to the main tourist attractions. Super clean, well equipped rooms and a shared kitchen, a wonderful pool and terrace with sunbeds and comfortable seats in the shade of a carob tree. Very tasty breakfast, fruit, vegetables. Guests can prepare coffee and tea themselves at any time. Drinking water available in the kitchen!!! And above all, very willing, kind and sympathetic hosts ready to help or advise you.

Everything was perfect. The room and the common areas are lovely. The garden and the pool were perfect. The garden is a lovely place to spend time in the evening after a long day. The breakfast was varied and delicious. The city centre is a pleasant walk, there is a shop and bus stop nearby. Matthew & Clementa were wonderful hosts, working to make guests feel comfortable. We got lots of ideas for exploring Gozo. We would highly recommend the Carob Tree.

EstoniaThere is so much to Love and be grateful for in the Carob Tree🤍🤍 🤍First and foremost, our adorable hosts were so friendly, caring, extremely kind and hospitable! 🤍The house itself is a true work of art, style, cozyness and filled with such pure and loving vibe. 🤍Our 'Suite with Terrace' was so gorgeus, very comfortable and with a spacious terrace with a truly beautiful view! 🤍 Breakfast was superb, every single morning, very well thought through and the selection was excellent! 🤍Last, but not least, the location of the house is excellent, nestled in a very quiet area of Victoria, which center is literally 10min walk away.

United KingdomNothing, it is all exceptional.
The Carob Tree is a beautiful guest house with only 6 rooms. The communal facilities are exceptional, every little detail has been thought of from the provision of towels for the pool, extra towels for your room, hairdryer etc to a fully stocked fridge with items for you to purchase at a very low cost. Matthew is a fabulous host who cannot do enough for you, gave us great restaurant recommendations and was generally friendly and accommodating throughout

United KingdomWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Carob Tree. Only a 15 minute walk out of Victoria itself with a local shop and bus stops close by. The suite was beautiful, a lovely relaxing space with a jacuzzi bath and very peaceful spending time on the balcony. A lovely breakfast area and it was very relaxing to spend time by the pool. The hosts were very welcoming and gave some useful tips on where to go locally.

United KingdomEverything was considered! Bathrooms in the room have a sliding door so are not the most private, but there are also separate bathrooms on each floor if you’re not comfortable being THAT open with your travelling partner
This is such a gem. Just outside of Victoria, the location feels like the quiet countryside but you can easily walk into the town or down to the coast (and there are direct buses both ways). The spaces are clean, spacious, and welcoming and the hosts can’t do enough for guests. Lovely thoughtful touches like a stocked fridge and snack bar, fruit, and coffee through the day make the experience seamless. Only wish we’d stayed longer!

MaltaThe only down side I would say is that it is,a little off the beaten track. I thought it would be a bit closer to the centre of Victoria. Having a car and enjoying walking was fine for us, but if you are less mobile or don't have transport it wouldn't suit everyone.
A lovely very welcoming B&B. Matthew was an excellent host. The guest house is immaculate. The facilities an dadditional touches like tea and coffee and use of kitchen 24/7. Pool towels extra towels readily available. Superb.
