Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomNothing was really a problem & we loved the boat. Areas for consideration: •We couldn’t get the gas ring on the cooker to come on full, the kettle took ages to boil- the gas switch on the wall was on. It could have been something we didn’t do, but there were no instructions if that was the case. •A small microwave would have been more useful than a cooker for reheating food. • The fridge had perishables in it; butter, milk, sauces etc. We weren’t sure how long they had been opened or who had left them, so didn’t use.
•It was somewhere a little bit different and memorable for a family stay. We have been visiting universities around the country and many of the hotel rooms have all blended into one memory. We’ll remember the boat fondly. •Having 2 bedrooms meant that my teenage daughter could have her own room, but we would still be close by if needed. She loved her warm and comfy bed. •Boat had lots of really homely touches; great lighting, fur rugs on the floor and heated blankets. Books and games were a lovely addition. Nice smelling soap and shampoo. •There were plenty of heaters and blankets, meant we could sit outside on the back, even in April. •Plenty of gadgets (head torch in the drawer), sockets and chargers. Clean, well stocked kitchen; wipes, towels, washing up liquid, tea, coffee and spices etc. •toilet instructions were appreciated- worked well for a boat toilet. •Simon was really friendly and answered all our questions promptly. We knew he would be there to help if we had any issues.

United KingdomNothing it was perfect
The boat was in a lovely safe location, very easy walk to town centre. And it was so quiet and peaceful. The boat was well equipped , it even had electric blankets for extra warmth if you had needed it. Wish we could have stayed longer.

United KingdomNothing - it was great!
Incredible location - right in the centre of town, but very peaceful. It was sch a quirky & cosy place to stay. Every little detail has been thought of and we loved our stay on this beautiful boat. My sister & I are looking forward to our next visit - our only regret was not having booked to stay for longer! :)
