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...).

IrelandBunk in the room is too high. It is dangereous who will sleep on top. You cant go down safely and easy. They need to change to the lower one.
The location is perfect. So close everywhere. The room was big and clean. I had no problem about hot water and it was already ready. The building is very good

AustriaI am not quite sure if the tab water in the hostel kitchen tab was drinkable. It would be good to sign out if it was filtered or not for the clarity.
I found the beds extremely comfortable and the staff very friendly. The hostel was clean and the dorm was spacious. The Spa was very enjoyable- it would be great to add to extra 2 extra chairs there to lay down so all four people who can go at the same time can relax equally. I would come back any time and I recommend this hostel.

MexicoI think the bathroom could improve a lot. The hooks were insufficient, so towels were overlapped. There were no available flat surfaces and the sink was too tiny, for a half bathroom it would've been okay, but for other than washing hands it was too small and it splattered; Making the bathroom wet and messy.
The location was amazing, the staff was very welcoming and the room was very clean!

United KingdomNot a dislike as such, but be aware that there is no dedicated parking. We got lucky and found a spot on the same street. There is also a car park for the ferry near by for a small fee by but I imagine that would get very busy in peak periods. Given the location you only really need a car to explore the island further afield.
We stayed in the Vanilla suite and it was lovely, clean, and spacious. We also used the ‘spa’ area (jacuzzi and sauna) which was again clean and spacious. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hostel (really it felt like a hotel with some hostel rooms) is in a great location in Sliema - easy walk to the ferry, buss stops, shops, and great restaurants.

AustriaI stayed in the Green room, so I don't know if the situation was different in other rooms: There should be more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and clothes while showering, changing, etc. (at least two per bed) and a shelf in the shower and near the bathroom sink to set toiletries on while using the space. There is the windowsill where people put (and leave) their stuff, but then it's difficult to open the window after showering to let out the humidity, so people don't, which causes more problems for you (the hostel owner and staff) in the long run (damp, mould, etc.). Additionally, the bedrooms should have hooks near the beds to hang clothes and jackets on, as well as towel bars to hang up wet towels to dry (in the long run this would better for the furniture since having wet stuff hanging on the beds, etc. ruins the wood very quickly). There should be a shelf or hooks under the sink for extra toilet paper, so it doesn't end up on the garbage bin or the (wet/dirty) bathroom floor or the wet edge of the bathroom sink. The waste and recycling bins in the kitchen should be labeled better including what items belong in each bin. Although there were two bins, it seemed to me that both were full of the same things. What about biodegradable waste? I enjoyed using the sauna, but noticed that some of the other guests had apparently never been in a sauna before and did not know the basic use and hygiene rules, so having a sign with the step-by-step would probably be helpful. Nr. 1 rule for a nice hostel: When things get broken or worn out, fix them or replace them right away!
The building has been wonderfully renovated; there are modern amenities (bathrooms, toilets, electrical outlets, sauna, kitchen, etc.), but the beautiful historical features (wooden beams, limestone ceiling and walls, carved wooden and wrought iron staircases, marble floors, etc.) have been retained. The artwork on the walls is (mostly) "real art" -interesting, informational, aesthetic. The common areas were clean and comfortable: the downstairs space was nice for quiet work or reading and the kitchen/patio space was nice when I wanted to socialize with other guests. The electrical outlets near the bed are "universal" so even though I forgot to bring my plug to fit the Maltese outlet, I could still charge my phone with my Austrian plug and there is a lamp and shelf above each bed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was able to borrow a lock for my storage space under the bed, so I didn't need to take all my valuables with me every time I left the hostel. I was able to leave my bags at the hostel for the day before my plane left, as well as use the common areas even after I had checked-out that morning. This was nice as I went to the beach and went swimming on my last day and was able to go back to the hostel, shower and change before I had to leave for the airport.
