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 KingdomNothing really. There are a few things to consider though. Although there is a private toilet it is liquid only and doesn't have a shower but the facilities are not far away at all so it's fine but just an FYI. Also, it's European plugs so bring an adaptor :)
We loved the boat we stayed on it was actually the yacht next door to the main boat which was a wonderful surprise! Facilities were great. The kitchenette was well stocked with everything we needed and the bed was super comfy. The deck was spacious and seats/tables etc made for a lovely view.

United KingdomNothing major at all - only 2 tiny things which I mentioned to Johnny was that the hatch at the top of the stairs was a little tricky to shut from the inside which he said he'd fix with some candle wax to make it slide smoothly, and the main bedroom doesn't have a mirror in it (the bathroom does) but you'd need a long chord to use your own hair dryer or straighteners.
The Jasmine Coral Jay was easy to find from the instructions I was given, and I was met with a very warm welcome from Johnny and Tracey. I booked the deluxe-double room which is actually a separate yacht moored next to the Jasmine Coral Jay! I couldn't believe that I had a 50ft 6 berth yacht all to myself, but I did! Tracey helped me on-board and gave me a guided tour, showing me how the en-suite toilet pump worked after a number 1... ..the number 2 rule still applies (I have never stayed on a yacht before so wasn't aware of the rule until Johnny politely explained it). There is a shower too but I chose to use the Marina facilities which were excellent. The yacht I stayed on is fully equipped with a lovely seating and dining area in white leather and beautiful polished wood everywhere. The main bedroom has a huge oval shaped bed which is really comfortable, and the boat has a very well equipped kitchen with a fridge, kettle, toaster, mugs, glassess, plates etc so you're able dine it or out. There is a 2nd toilet, next to another double room, and a 3rd bedroom which is used for storing the outside seating cushions. This was my first trip to Gibraltar and Johnny and Tracey gave lots of good recommendations on where to eat, places to visit etc which was really helpful being a solo traveler. I have read some negative reports about the communal toilet on the main boat, I only used it once when I was having a drink one evening and it was fine, so I'd recommend that if you want private bathroom facilities then book the double-deluxe room. The marina really is the place to be, it's so quiet, peaceful, and a 5 minute walk to bars and restaurants and 5 mins from there you are in Main Street.

United KingdomTravelling as a family from Fuengirola for the night with a disabled child I booked this as we would have access to a toilet during the night, my son goes no2 a few times during this period but we were told that in this case he would have to walk over to a bathroom 70 odd metres away to use that facility which is not ideal for a child with special needs. This needs to be stated in the advertisement as this was the only reason we booked here. It is VERY MISLEADING as they say they have 2 toilets on board, not that you can only pee. No one around at bag drop off, two hours after check in our room wasn't ready, was told I had to pay my taxes again even though I had paid them already through booking.com and no one about 10 mins later after check in when we had to leave. Then when this was disputed with booking.com they had the cheek to say we didn't turn up which was proved to be untrue through booking.com as I sent receipts and screenshot to them. Give this place a wide berth and stay elsewhere!
Location was good,

United KingdomThere nothing we didn’t like about the property.
The Jasmin Coral is absolutely stunning and has a gorgeous view of the rock from the top deck. It’s spotless inside and out and very spacious. The hosts Tracey & Johnny are incredible people and they literally made our holiday what it was. For my first time staying on a boatel it exceeded any expectations I had and I would highly recommend the Jasmin Coral to anyone. You will not be disappointed. The boat is literally within a 5 minute walk from the local shops, restaurants and night life and 10 mins from local town centre. Beautiful place with beautiful people.

United KingdomIt was a fun novelty to stay on a boat. The room was really comfortable and clean. We had a nice area to lie out in the sun, and a kitchen to make tea, coffee, etc. The location was by the airport but there was no noise or commotion (it isn't exactly a major busy airport!). Previous reviews mention how it was hard to find but they have constructed a new boardwalk and entry that brings you directly to the boat. The showers and other toilets are located a couple of minutes away but they are amazing - huge private showers with some amenities like hairdryers, and also security guarded.

United KingdomThe yacht is currently surrounded by building work as they’re extending the marina, so it was noisy from 8am and throughout the day. We had the wheel room with private balcony but there wasn’t any privacy as the balcony was facing the building work with all the workers right in front of us. There was no Marina view with this room. This was only at the back of the yacht where the owners were sat for most of the day, and we didn’t feel comfortable sitting out there with them. The bed in the wheel room was very small so our feet overhung the bed and was also very high. There is little respite from the heat as the room only had a small rotating tower fan which wasn’t adequate enough. Because of this we had very little sleep during our stay. The worst thing for us was that there were no external locks on any of the rooms, so we were unable to secure our belongings when we left the room. There is a safe onboard in the owners berth which we were told we could use, but we felt we had to keep our passports with us as we’d have to keep asking the owners to access them. The doors to the rooms can be locked from the inside though. There are no curtains in the wheel room so during our stay it was very light until late, which also made sleep difficult if going to bed before 10pm. Overall we felt this accommodation was overpriced.
The yacht is quirky which we love and is in a great location, being in the Ocean Village Marina. very close to shops, restaurants, bars and Casemate Square. it’s also an easy 20 minute walk from the airport (over the airport runway) There is a Tesco supermarket a few minutes walk away. Tea, coffee, milk and water are provided for free. You have access to utensils and a shared fridge to store food. The shower facilities in the shower block were very good and spacious.
