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 KingdomPerfect location. A 10min walk away from st.julian’s and a 12min walk away from the ferry boat to Valletta. A really safe area, so close to the bay! My room had a sea view from out the window at no extra cost. Fresh towels every day and changed bins - like an actual hotel. For the price, i cannot complain!

United KingdomThe noise throughout the night was very disruptive, with constant banging sounds, similar to a boiler reheating or an AC unit. Earplugs are essential for a good night's sleep. The view from the window was disappointing—just a wall covered in AC units, making the air dusty and the room quite dark. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a kettle and mugs or glasses in the room. Alternatively, you could provide a shared area, such as the common or breakfast area, where guests can access a kettle, toaster, and microwave.
Early check in, very friendly and helpful staff, location is brilliant, simple but good breakfast, cozy rooftop sitting area on the 7th floor! Very good price!

New ZealandWe'd make a few recommendations to improve the hotel. Firstly, the advertisement needs amending to properly reflect the location and views, though the location is a short walk and handy for bus and public transport etc. Our initial room was smelling of damp, so we told reception and they quickly remedied this and we are very thankful to the staff for being so accommodating. However our subsequent rooms' bathroom did also have a slightly strange smell. In addition to this, it appears the room change was not communicated as we were awaken late at night by other guests who had also been allocated our room. Lastly, please put a second lock or chain on the bedroom doors to improve security. Overall we are happy and a good location for visiting all areas of Malta. Thanks again - breakfast and staff serving breakfast were clearly working very hard.
Very friendly and helpful staff, and delicious and varied breakfast. Location was good and price was reasonable, the hotel was clean and the bed was comfortable.

CroatiaAlthough the cleanliness of rooms was great, the air in the rooms was bed. My room didn't have normal window view on street but on the interior of the building with some installations and air conditioners. So to have some fresh air was bad and I don't know how the hotel can change that.
Staff, location, cleanliness of rooms and the breakfast were great. Just around the corner is a church of St Patrick with the masses on English. Bus station to Valleta and to the north are few minutes walk. Lidl and some pharmacies are also very near.

PolandThe water boiler kept us awake first night, but it’s something that you can get used to and stop hearing after a day or two.
I highly recommend staying at the Howard Hotel. It has a great bus connection from where you can travel to different parts of Malta. We enjoyed breakfast, because you have a variety of options of food and beverages. The staff was helpful, communicative and most importantly friendly. The rooms were clean, provided with toiletry products, towels, a kettle and cups.

RomaniaThey close the main area and the reception at 11pm, so if you have a flight very early in the morning (5-6am), there is nowhere you can really leave your stuff.
The hotel was very close to the bus station (3 minute walk) and the Tigné Viewpoint (10 minute walk). The staff was quite friendly and helpful in providing overall recommendations. The room and the bathroom were very clean (they even changed the bathroom towels from one day to the other) and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly fine. A single room is a bit small, but you will do just fine as long as you do not have very high expectations. Overall, this is probably one of the best places I have stayed in as a single traveler.

United KingdomShort on hot water
I stayed in small double room which was comfy and clean and very wuiet on the back of the hotel which I loved. Got maid service daily with plenty of towls. One bit of peve the hot water was very short on supply or rather the individual watertank was very small and if you wanted proper shower had to be done with lukeearm water. Breakfast wasn’t included altho advertised as on offer between 8-10am, were individualy wrapped pasteries, some fruit and tea/coffe. On s whole good experience . I would rebook the property.
