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 KingdomThe AC didn’t work during our stay. The room did get warm despite it being winter. We lucked out on really good weather. The hotel gave us a fan and that was good enough. Unfortunately if you opened the window, the outside noise can be heard. The noise outside made it really difficult to sleep! It’s so loud after 6am and I couldn’t understand why. There’s music playing even though we’re not near bars etc. It sounded like the bins were being taken for hours because all you could hear was crashing of glass sound and the bin trucks. The windows are single pane and the sound penetrates. Please look into soundproofing. I unfortunately did not sleep well throughout my stay despite the bed being really comfortable. I think if you’re able to sleep through noise, you’ll be absolutely fine. The good outweighed the bad and I’d still highly recommend this place.
The location is great! You’re within walking distance to lots of historical spots and places to see. The upper and lower barrakka gardens are beautiful and the waterfront at sunset was amazing. There are nice restaurants like the Michelin star, Aki, Japanese restaurant. I’d highly recommend. Really really lovely coffee shops nearby too. The interior hallway is stunning! So much character and the breakfast areas too. The hotel staff were super nice. The AC in the room wasn’t working so we were given a fan when requested. The hotel breakfast was very nice! Super generous with their salmon and cheese. The bread was nice and so were the cakes and pastries. Limited but great.

United KingdomWe were in the room without a window that opened, and it just looked out over some inner enclosure with piping. It didn’t particularly matter as we were out and about all of the time. There are some rooms that look out onto the main street which have wonderful balconies. The advantage of ours though of course was that there was no street noise.
This was a lovely hotel, very centrally located, and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout. Breakfast was reasonable and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff helped with taxis, restaurants and planning trips and they even let us leave our bags there when we returned for an afternoon to the city a few days after we had checked out.
