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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomNothing, it was perfect :)
Everything was amazing from start to finish! Mark was so helpful. He met us and showed us around the boat and how to find our way around the docks facilities . The boat was immaculate, and it was such fun to stay on , we said immediately we would return . It was so easy to get around London from Tower Hill tube station just a short walk away. St. katherines dock is full of resturants,the shower block had everything we needed, including hair dryers, and there are two supermarkets within short walking distance, We loved everything so much we booked again for next year before we had even left London ❤️

Our host was extremely communicative & friendly. Met us to show us to the accommodation. The boat was spacious & really clean. Lovely touches included, like milk & water in the fridge. A fantastic base to explore such a beautiful part of London. Our 6 year old loved every minute! We will be booking again.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. My only suggestion would be to stock up on glasses - there was only one champagne flute and as this was a celebration we had brought some bubbles but there was only one glass - but I just had to use a bigger glass ….every cloud …..
Stayed one night for my 50th Birthday celebration - this was a memorable stay - something completely different. Excellent location, comfortable for a family of 4. Weather was beautiful so we were able to enjoy sitting out on the deck. Marina was so peaceful and yet we were moments away from restaurants, and tower bridge etc. Mark was brilliant - helpful and accommodating. Thank you.

United KingdomRooms small as expected. The double is a little cramped for bigger people. The single is accessed via the loo. The main bathroom is a little walk away. All is well worth it for the experience!
Lovely location and experience. Interesting to see the inside of boat and equipment.lovely to have drinks out in sun on deck. Large waitrose round the corner to get drinks and snacks for the boat.

United KingdomAlthough there was a shower and toilet on the boat, the communal showers and toilets were a bit of a walk and are pretty basic.
Oat was lovely. It was clean and had everything you’d need on board. There was milk and water in the fridge, team and coffee and there were even ibuprofen in the cupboard although we didn’t need it. The dock was peaceful and quiet and we had a really smooth check in and check out too!
