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 StatesSince it was right in the fish docks, the smell of caught fish and chum was pretty strong on boat 7 where we stayed.
Being right on the water was the best part. The houseboat was clean and simply decorated having the basic needs for a few night’s stay.

United StatesThe bedrooms were very small, and you could smell the fish cleaning station.
It was fun to be in a houseboat. We rented a power boat from them at a discount, and had an unforgettable day on the water !

United StatesI wish there was a hairdryer. Also the shower at times would only come out as a trickle. One day I couldnt wash my shoulder length hair because the entire time it was a trickle (no one else was using water in our place either). Also wish they had a towel bar, hook, or anywhere to hang your bath towels, as well as anywhere (other than the flimsy wire shelving) in the bathroom to put our toiletries, etc. For the price we paid, you would expect a good shower, hairdryer and places to put bathroom stuff (easy and mostly cheap fixes for management). The middle room with the bed does not get any AC if you have the both door closed.
Place was clean, updated. It was fun to stay on a houseboat and check out the fish that floated around us. We even saw a manatee once! Good air conditioning, fridge and microwave. Plenty of towels. Kitchen stocked with plates, utensils, etc. Location is actually just before Key West, about 15min from the old town section, which was not a problem for us since we had a car. An uber however would have cost us $30-$35 into the old town each way.

United KingdomIt needs a few more basic utensils- such as scissors
It was very different and added a sense of adventure. The houseboat felt bigger than the pictures. It was clean, provided the bedding and towels provided. I would definitely recommend to others. The restaurant/ bar opposite was great and an added bonus.

Good location. Having a restaurant there was nice. They close at 10 so any noise late was just street traffic and it was not heard inside. We saw manatees and jellyfish and lots of Tarpon off our boat.

United StatesThe view we had was of the restaurant and boats coming and going. When we left or came back we had to walk along a wooden path next to the water. Fish were being processed, their heads floating in the water, there were hoses on the wooden path that were very easy to trip over. The smell of rotting fish was very strong and unpleasant. Not what I expected at all
Breakfast was not included in our stay. The room we had was very clean, Air conditioner was great. The food and drinks from the restaurant were very good.

United StatesWater pressure was weak at times, hardly any stream coming out of the shower, occasionally you could smell the dirty water tanks on the boat and you would get a brief smell of sewage. Parking at the marina was also a problem at busy time, I would recommend maybe parking for people that have aqua lodges rented.
Overall the lodge was nice and updated, good beds, restaurant food was good and staff was nice. Good location. They cooked fish that we caught and it was delicious.
