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.).

United KingdomNothing at all to dislike - if I was to offer any advice it would be to consider adding a little extra to the options to the mini bar in the room (some lovely Maltese biscuits to go with the tea and coffee options would go down very well!).
I have visited Malta a number of times over the years but now I've discovered the Cumberland it will definitely be my 'go-to' property for future visits. Conveniently located in Central Valletta this boutique hotel is within a few minutes walk of all the city's attractions and of the main bus station (where you get anywhere on the island). The rooms are nicely designed and comfortable (with the option of a terrace in some of the suites). What makes the property though is the friendliness of the staff who are on hand whatever the hour to offer advice, help and assistance. The property also offers a lovely breakfast menu catering for all tastes!

SingaporeNothing we didn't like about the hotel. Just that the street outside, it's on a slope and can be a struggle for someone with a big heavy luggage.
The location was great! Surrounded by cafes and shops. Staff on duty was really pleasant. There was a building with eateries and a supermarket nearby. Loved the added bonus of a beautiful attached outdoor terrace.

United KingdomThe double bed was actually two single mattresses pushed together, and there was no mattress gap filler so it was a bit uncomfortable.
The staff was very nice and helpful, the location was perfect. There was complementary access to the aqualuna which made a great pool day for us.

GermanyThe two-story larger rooms are not really worth the added cost as there is only a second bed and not a seating area. Upstairs is also quite dark. Would stay again but in a standard room. Roof terrace is underwhelming and no good view of harbour.
Great location, very nice rooms. Especially the quick service at breakfast is commendable.

United KingdomThe staff and Manager were all exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location was perfect, everywhere in Valletta was a short walk. It was very clean. We had some initial issues with the first room we were given and the Manager didn’t hesitate to move us, we were actually upgraded to a lovely duplex. Good coffee at breakfast. Overall my partner and I had a great short stay at this friendly hotel and would return on future visits.
