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...).

ItalyUnfortunately this could be a really cute hotel. The outside area is cute but is in desperate need of cleaning. Deck chairs were too dirty that one was put off sitting on them( all that was needed was a good cleaning product and brush to clean them, they are plastic. . The same for the pool. This would be my advice to the owners , pay more attention to these details and the hotel would be splendid. It would benefit from a bit of paint here and there. railing outside the room etc. Even though the room was acceptably clean, again more attention here and it would look much better. Curtains cleaned and fixed, a bit falling of the rail. Furniture needed fixed. Light switch , one switch missing ,so the finger went right in the hole. Didn't try the breakfast so can't comment.
The staff were very kind and helpful. I was upgraded to a penthouse on arrival as they had no appartments available and was allowed to stay there. Very Kind. The room also had a washing machine ,a bit old but working. Ask for hairdryer at reception. A short walk up to the main bust station in Bugibba . Also a bus stop right across the road more or less with bus directly to the airport. A few decent restaurants and cafes nearby. A supermarket near the hotel. Download BOLT app for taxi service in Malta , cheaper abd super quick. We used it from the airport 11 euro cheaper than the airport taxi.

United KingdomOn our first morning the toilet was leaking, the whole bathroom was completely soaked so I managed to slip, I tried to phone reception nobody answered, I’ve gone down to ask them to fix it which they did later on the day but it started to leak again. The oven didn’t work. £10 deposit for everything: aircon, hairdryer, tv remote etc. Swimming pool water didn’t look too clean and the sun beds were really dirty. No proper bedsheets and towels looked very old and used.
The location, some of the staff was friendly. Because we didn’t spend so much time inside anyway it was an acceptable place to sleep.

HungaryThere was no bedlinen on the blankets, which was a bit strange. The pool cannot be used after 8.00 pm. Disgusting, dirty sunbeds. The receptionist guy couldn’t book transfer/taxi to the airport, so we had to bother with it ourselves. The furniture is dusty, the cleaning stuff should pay more attention to details and not just the surfaces one can immediately see. A bit run-down place but no so bad.
We didn’t ask for breakfast, so can’t tell about it. The complex as a whole was quite okay for the price, though a bit old-fashioned. Fantastic location, wonderful view to the sea and the pool. The surroundigs are peaceful, no clubs or discos in the neighbourhood. Bus stops are a few steps away.

HungaryThe access to the internet from the room was not avaible. Our room had a mobile air conditioner, which operated in the first few days after that it did not work properly, and the nights were really hot. The room was clean, but the accessories was very minimal. And we really did sorry how the fridge was. It only had one shelf and was in a not so good condition.
The location was perfect, our priority was to have easy access to the beaches. The stuff was friendly and helpfull.

Czech Republic- the thing on top of the stove was very dirty, the AC was also dirty but at least it worked - possibly bed bug bites, I got some on the 4th night after getting "clean sheets" but it was only few so I didn't think much of it and did not connect it to sheets, but last day when I was leaving I was bitten all over my legs, stomach, arms and back. I have not find the bug itself in the bed though. - FREE PARKING here does not mean private parking, but parking on the street, which can be a challenge since it is a tourist spot. We had to park further away few times.
the price realy good compared to others and place of the accomodation was close to some touristic beaches if someone wants that :) also it is close to the Aquarium, a like the beautiful pool, looked clean but I did not have a chance to swim in it I was out all day, also liked the big room it was really spacious and there was a hallway to the bathroom which gave a lot of privacy. + close to bus station that I needed - direction north and back was fine

SerbiaWe booked this hotel mainly because of the location, towels and hairdryer. Hairdryer you get with 10€ deposit, but the worst thing is about towels. They didn’t change our towels for 7 days, so neither once. We asked them twice to do that, but second time they told us that “we have rejected clean towels and sheets”. If they change this, it would be better

United KingdomThe property is quite run down, the description on booking.com is not accurate. The pool only saw sunlight till 10am (October). No need to set an alarm as constant construction works going on in the hotel and the buildings next door will get you up by 7am. The shower was a hand held one which had no holder... it was a lather and rinse job. The beds were weirdly uncomfortable all 6 of them, the "pull out" sofa bed was a daybed with a camp bed to put next to it which has a different style of mattress and lower then the other half making it near impossible to sleep as a couple cuddling. There was one clean of the apartment to remove some rubbish and sort of sweep. The balcony was ok very early but there was no sun from 10am, however if you lean over (just enough to crack your back) you can see the sea but I wouldn't call it a sea view.
The location was good, close to bars, restaurants and a nice bay. The continental breakfast was good value but limited selection and if they ran out by 9am that was it. The road parking outside was a bonus (this is not reserved by the hostel...sorry hotel)

United KingdomThe whole apartment block was run down, dirty and most of the equipment and facilities didn't work including the cooker, washing machine, AC and some lights in the rooms. Also the bathroom was flooded when it rained because of the gap around the window and the balcony doors did not shut let alone lock. The outside drainage system from the 6th floor down to the first leaked down the building and even splashing myself while seated on the balcony. We had to keep the toilet brush over the drainage hole in the bathroom to stop the smell. The itinerary list on the back of the door did not correspond with the items in the apartment i.e not even a tin opener etc There were cockroaches in our room and ants in all the food cupboards. The lift didn't work and there were 6 floors each with 18 steps to the next and we were at the top. They told us they were waiting for a part but we found out it had been broken for a long time. Some staff were not helpful when we had to bring all our luggage down 6 flights of stairs on checkout day. The pool did not look clean and was not cleaned for the duration of our 14 day holiday. Sunbeds were dirty and outside chairs were cracked on the seats.
The cleaning maids were lovely and friendly. It was situated in a good place opposite the sea front and plenty of little shops around. 15/20 minutes walk into budgibba.

Location is good with nice sea view, several groceries stores are within 2 minutes walk from property, i recommend "Iceland" store (fair prices and wide choice of food and drinks). Apartments are equpied with everything needed for cooking and dining. Two bus stations near property with several bus routes. Altogether, property is not luxury but offers everything needed for pleasant stay for more than fair price.
