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 StatesBathroom shower and toilet necessarily basic, as it is a boat and shower block while good is kind of far away.
Privacy, 2 bedrooms. Area was great. Kitchen, fridge convenient for breakfast, deck for afternoon wine and cheese. Have stayed in various areas of London, but this felt very different. Very scenic with views of the Tower Bridge, Tower of London, and skyline, especially at night. Easy access to Tube and many restaurants.

United KingdomFabulous! We had a lovely time on this, yacht in the marina, Mark met us at the gate and showed us around the boat. He's very friendly and helpful and the boat was very well kept. It's in a great location, lots of bars and restaurants very close by and Tower Bridge is just a few minutes walk away. Highly recommended!

BelgiumThe kitchen has very basic facilities. Fine for making tea or a basic breakfast. We stayed in lovely weather and it was amazing. I think it might have been a bit cramped with 4 in poor weather and we’d have to have been inside the whole time.
The welcome, the location, a unique way to experience London. Beautiful boat. Comfortable bedding etc. The marina is well maintained and secure.

NetherlandsIf you are not used to staying on a boat/ in a caravan, you might not be used to having to air everything out. It can smell a little bit musty, but that has all to do with moisture-management and nothing to do with it not being clean.
The location is marvellous. Quiet, peaceful, but right in the middle of London. Perfect for us with 2 young kids!

United KingdomMark made it very easy for us and was an excellent host. The accommodation and location was amazing. It was lovely and clean and the beds were so comfy. Whilst we didn't cook on the boat the kitchen was well equipped. Located only a few minutes walk to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Ideal for river boat trips and the Clipper to the 02 Arena. Lots of places to eat and drink in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomWe absolutely love everything, from the host to the location. Even though we spent only one night, the experience itself was brilliant. The location is amazing, the facilities are brilliant and the sleep was a lot better than we had in the past in a lot more expensive hotels. Mark is a great host and kept us updated from start to the end, including a video of how to get there, parking in the area to suit our needs with very young children etc. We will definitely recommend him and surely, we'll be back!
