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.).

United KingdomThe bed did feel a little like we were rolling together but it was comfy enough and long enough. It would benefit from a bit of a refresh/deep clean but it was lovely and certainly not unclean!
The check in was really simple, Mark sent great directions and instructions on arrival. The boat is lovely, we felt instantly relaxed. We stayed on the Millie Grace and it was great being able to park the car right next to the boat. We walked into the city centre within 10 minutes and went to the theatre, had lovely meals at Ego and Browns and drinks along Division street. We also visited Dorothy Pax and True Loves right next to the boat. Unfortunately Victoria Junction was closed as it was the bank holiday weekend. We got an Uber back from town one day as we were feeling lazy but it’s an easy stroll. I’m 6ft and felt the boat was spacious, I liked that it felt higher at the ceiling than we expected and it was so well equipped too. We would definitely return!

We loved our houseboat. It is spacious, clean and well laid out. Lovely small touches and details. I thoroughly enjoyed a sunrise coffee watching the ducks and water. Peaceful, tucked away location. Mark was friendly and helpful with our booking. We danced to the fab sound system ;)

United KingdomIt was very cold overnight because of the freezing cold Sheffield weather. But heaters were provided and that is the risk you take if you book a boat!
Really fun alternative to a regular hotel. Excellent location with bar and cafe basically next door and short walking distance to city. Boat was really cute with thoughtful details. Would definitely stay again but hope for warmer weather!

United KingdomNothing, exceeded expectations
Really loved staying here, something neither of us have done before. It was clean, tidy and well equipped. On our day of departure we met the owner on the off chance, Mark was very polite, and we had a little chat. Recommend staying here, even just for the experience! It would have cost us the same to stay in a chain hotel, but decided we would like to try something different and also independent. We are so glad we did. We will be planning another stay at some point!

United KingdomWas a little cold on arrival - but that’s because you’re on the water on the 1st Dec! soon warmed up when we turned the heating on. shower was a bit slow, as it’s a boat pump system and hot water tank. however, it’s no problem if you’ve stayed in a caravan / Motorhome and you just factor in the time.
The boat has been kitted as a high quality ‘hotel apartment’ for the price of a standard city centre room. it’s self catering but everything is there for that - and you can eat in the bars and cafes minutes away on the quayside; some even deliver!

United KingdomEven with the heater on the lowest setting it was still really hot on the legs when sat on the settee. Could have done with a little mesh rack screwed to the wall next to the bedroom window to store my phone and bottle of water for the night as i was up the inner side of the bed.only a minor thing. I would have liked our fairy lights to come on but they never did 😳..
It was a lovely night the bed was cosy and it was lovely to have the tele in bed. We was able to hook up a dvd player to watch a film.although a double adapter would have been easier as there was only one socket. loved being on the boat though. It was an exsperiance im glad i had so thankyou😊.. I shower was really decent for a boat i wasnt exspecting tht..
