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 KingdomThe room is extremely tiny and no place to open your bag. The boat seems very run down and even though everything was in working condition it didn't seem it was maintained well. I would say there are a lot of better options for the same amount of money.
The location is very good and about 20min from the center of Amsterdam.

BelarusSmall cabins, small wc (but I think it’s normal for boats) no places to charge batteries in a cabins, only in dining room. It would be great to have opportunity to get a coffee or tea in the evening
It was interesting experience to live on the boat. Very nice host, he played a guitar on the breakfast. The breakfast was good with fruits, vegetables, ham, cheese, eggs, croissants and etc. All spaces were clean. We drink coffee on the deck in the morning and could see nice view from the boat

SpainThe rooms are TINY.... so if you have big luggage then you won't fit them in! but again, the hosts are so helpful that you can leave them in the dinning area.
The breakfast was INCREDIBLE! The hosts are such a lovely couple and we even got serenaded by the guitar. They were very friendly and kind and even left the key out for me because we arrived very late! Sucha relaxed and family vibe on board!

CanadaVery prime downtown location. Walk distance to tourist spots. The room/environment/facilities matches the expectation for a ship, and the price is very reasonable given all the factors. The breakfast buffet is casual but good. However, note that there is no luggage deposit service. The best alternative is the locker at the central station

PolandIt is a stay on a boat, so do not expect high comfort. The location is beautiful, in the bay, close to the center and to the tram or bus and metro. Nearby shops and restaurants. Nice staff. Breakfast so-so. In the bow cabin it is quiet, but you have to go outside to reach the toilet. Definitely an attractive overnight stay for children.

The cabins are small but there were shelves, hooks for clothing and a little sink so all basics covered. The shower and toilets are small but for a no frills stay it's great.

United KingdomPower in the cabin would have been helpful. I had to stay in the dining room to do any work on my laptop or charge my phone. However, it IS a barge/boat so it is not reasonable to expect the same as a land-based hotel room. For what we were getting for our price/location, I thought it was OK.
Host went out of their way to give me a packed breakfast which he did not need to do. He was very kind and very professional. They provided clean towels, access to bathrooms and shower rooms which were maintained to a high standard.
