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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The barge was a great place to stay. Short walk from the railway station and easy access to the old town. The room wasn’t the biggest but ok for us. It was also very clean and in a quiet location.

United KingdomQuirky hotel with lovely view of canal, barges and countryside. Great location as near to station and town centre. The room was full of original fun features - the bath mat folded to look like a boat made us smile! Breakfast was good with fresh bread and range of meats, cheese and smoked salmon. We were able to leave our cases before checking in which was very convenient. The bar was open in the evening so nice to have a nightcap before retiring to our cabin. Highly recommended

United KingdomCar parking space seems ok but as I travelled to Brugge by train; I cannot confirm this. Until end of 2024; There is no restaurant on Board and Breakfast is an extra 20 Euros.
My room was very comfortable and warm. Hotel location is quiet as expected and less than 20mins walk to the center of Brugge. I recommend the nearby (3mins walk) yacht club Cafe (Bistro Flandria) for a relaxing drink and/or meal

CanadaCouldn't find anything to complain about.
The unique experience of staying on a barge was so welcome after the chaos of the prior few days in Paris. The cabin was very clean and cosy, we both slept like the proverbial log !. The staff were friendly and the breakfast buffet was just what was needed to start off a day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomRoom not made up on second day. Restaurant not open one evening although we had been told it would be and so had to make alternative plans at the last minute. I gather a member of staff had not turned up for work. Limited parking, with a high charge in the hotel's small car park and nearest alternative 10 minutes walk away
Very quiet and comfortable and we enjoyed the quirky atmosphere of a floating hotel. Excellent breakfast

United KingdomCould be awkward if you forget to book your breakfast. Double bed was two singles put together, did feel a bit lumpy.
The room (cabin) was as adevertised and as I work on ships I liked it. The location was great for city centre, 15 min walk, and this was close to station, if needed, parking, if needed, and close to restaurants. You have to make sure you talk to staff about food if you want it as it is a small hotel and doesn't have a large restaurant so food is not readily available. Shower was ok the presure was a little low but it was manageable. Over all we loved the place.

United KingdomThe only issue is that the decor is dated. And the beds are very narrow (we were in single beds) and there was a classic "boat smell'. But you get over that pretty swiftly
The place was close to town and the breakfast was very good.

United KingdomThe layout of the bathroom could have been better. Admittedly there isn’t much space on a barge, but the toilet was too close to the door.
Quirky and comfortable place to stay. Close to station. Very quiet. Room was cosy and we had a great view of the canal. Lovely staff. Great buffet breakfast with lots of hot and cold choices. We had an excellent evening meal on the first night too. Would be nice to go back in warmer weather and take advantage of the outdoor terrace.
