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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomWhen we got back to the boat at night the heating wasn't working, and as it was the coldest weekend so far this year it was absolutely freezing on board. Tried ringing the owner but got no reply. Rang the boatkeeper who didn't want to come out as he was a thirty minute drive away, but luckily he did in the end. He fixed it, but unfortunately at that point we were that cold we all went to bed and missed out on enjoying the rest of the night.
Quirky property with plenty of space.

United KingdomUnfortunately after getting settled in there were a few smells on the boat. After inspection one of the toilets had not been cleaned and had poo on the seat and down the toilet. We found some meat on a plate in the microwave that had been there a while as was growing spores. Chewing gum stuck to the wall near the sofa /kitchen. The main bin in the kitchen hadn't been emptied from previous guests. So we had to sleep with these mixed smells 😐 we also booked on a very windy night so the boat was moving and was making banging noises. In the morning the water was alot calmer and the boat wasn't moving at all. Would we stay again? Sad to say no. It's dated cobwebs in the bathrooms etc. Cleanliness wasn't to a high standard
Location was great only a 10 min walk to museums and the Liverpool 1 shopping centre. The boat it's self is quirky and a "different stay" my child is loving learning about the titanic and we came to the Maritime museum first and later surprised our family with staying on the titanic boat. The boat was well heated and the view out of the back window were nice seeing the other boats. we kept walking past new information in frames to read about the titanic and photos. My kids liked the menus showing the food that the different classes would of eaten.

United KingdomDoor didn’t open on arriving but maintenance man opened it and was aware. Also lot of the blinds were broken especially in first class. Toilets took a long time to clear but understand its macerated pump. Also time leak in 1st class have texted the owner to make aware just small things we had a fab stay.
That it was spacious, quiet location great for larger families and 3 toilets. Lovely lots of Titanic information on the walls. Clean Comfy beds. Loved the grand staircase behind the bar.

United KingdomThe boat itself is a great venue...but it was totally let down by the cleanliness, tattiness and lack of electricity. The bedding is very creased and the place needs a deep clean. We booked for my sister's hen night. Dropped our bags, had a drink and left for another venue. When we came back the electricity wouldn't work, so our night was cut short. Off site owner tried to blame us for the problem when I asked for a part refund (which we still haven't had). Now I am being ignored. Owner manages at arms length so difficult to contact when there is a problem..🙈
It was a novel location. We are from Liverpool, so we knew what to expect. The boat itself is a great venue...but needs improvement in cleanliness and presentation.

United KingdomWe could not get the boat to lock on the main door before leaving each evening and had to leave open. We had nothing of value to steel so not a big issue. The marina area also fairly secure. Owner was in contact and told us to " be firm " unfortunately no matter how firm we were we still couldn't get it to lock. 2nd Class bedroom toilet did not flush well. 2nd class bedroom had no blinds on the window. Managed to restrict early morning light with a pillow wedged in front of it.
Location was fantastic for the OVO arena. We walked each day and it took circa 15 - 20 mins Lovely marina bar. People very friendly Living area large and we were able to chill each evening comfortably ( 5 of us ) before going out. Very clean accommodation. Hot showers

United KingdomI found the premises dirty. leftover sausage roll, cocktail sausage and other food debris under the sofa bed only found this the morning we where leaving. no toilet roll and I know it was a lot to stay at least one toilet roll in one of the three bathrooms would of be nice. the noise from the toilet in first class 2 kept the majority of the party up all night. We also found on departing some of our once white socks where black. we couldn’t get in the property any earlier as the cleaner has the keys. I’m thinking the cleaner just changed the beds and cleaned the toilets. There was also damage to the property which we took photos of invade we where blamed for it

United KingdomThe boat was in a bad state, it was absolutely filthy, with cobwebs and spiders everywhere. Broken tiles in all bathrooms, toilet had come unstuck from wall and was wobbley, black mould around all showers and the white shower curtain was covered in black mould patches. Wallpaper peeling off walls, it is in desperate need of renovating. Paid 760 pounds for 2 nights and on arrival was told that there would be no power from 10 am until 4pm the following day due to maintainance works. This is completely unacceptable that we were not notified of this before arrival seen as though it had been an ongoing thing was had been known about for weeks. Completely ruined our trip, would have left 10 minutes after arrival if we hadn't just paid almost 800 pounds for this disgrace. Also there is a massive really freaky mirror suspended above the master bed!! Held up with just 4 little hooks in the corners....very strange!
Nothing about the boat what so ever, but the marina bar and restaurant staff were really lovely and hrlpful

This was a great quirky stay in a superb location not far from all things to do & see in Liverpool. The marina gives you a flavour of something a little different instead of staying in a hotel. It was so spacious and light & bright. The marina bar is so handy for a bite to eat which is reasonable.

United KingdomThe boat had not been cleaned properly considering when we dropped the luggage off on the boat as we arrived early before check in & there was a cleaner on board. There was a distinctive smell, which turned out to be a toilet overflowing, as there was a group of us, you couldn’t sleep in the bedroom. None of the electrics in any of bathrooms, tv didn’t work, it wasn’t a pleasant experience & ruined birthday celebrations

United KingdomThe place was absolutely filthy I can’t believe he has the cheek to charge people that kind of money. It genuinely smelt like we were staying in a sewage works class 3 was that bad I was actually retching. There’s no way someone could sleep in there. It was actually burning my nose. Then at 3am all the pumps kicked in and work us up. The floor was actually sticky when we arrived. We had to go straight in to town and buy some slippers there were no way I was walking round in bare feet. Toilet is hanging off the walls showers are black with mold. Threshold to class 2 is pitted in much. Floor has obviously got wet and is all bubbled. Yes it’s a bit quirky staying on a boat. But, believe me you will regret wasting your money. Please see the attached pictures and you will get the general idea of what this lace is like.

United KingdomI've stayed on this boat before years ago and had a fab time, this time it was terrible its run down posters peeling down the walls sink taps nearly falling off and the stench of the sewage was sickening. None of us could sleep due to the banging of the toilet system and the new location is in the middle of nowhere compared to before cost us alot of money jus to get taxis to and from pubs and shops never going back completely spoilt my birthday celebrations. States it has media and music but dosnt no dvd or cd player as states no TV remote so completely quiet nothing to do had to listen to music on our phone until someone told us to take remote from nx doors boat
