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.).

ColombiaEverything was great! We stayed two nights and we couldn't have felt better. It was the perfect accommodation. It is a 10-minute walk from the central station, a super quiet place, without noise and on the water, an adventure . The room was clean, organized and quite comfortable. The hotel service was the best part… Inma is a great person, a very kind woman, she was always attentive to all the guests, very friendly and helpful. She spoiled me and my mother with pleasant conversations and delicious breakfasts. Without a doubt I would stay here again. Thanks Inma, we had a great time ❤️

GermanyThe parking fee. But that's a known problem in Amsterdam
The cook/captain was very nice, funny and supportive. She new her way around Amsterdam and gave good suggestions. The breakfast was OK and the coffee machine was up and running 24/7. Also free water and a fridge to store your drinks and cheese. The boat was very comfy. A lot of Sofas and places to relax and talk. I really liked it.

South AfricaThis is a great venue and better option to the normal hotel. It felt like home from home. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The coffee and juice available on arrival and during our stay was great. Rooms are comfortable and the opportunity to relax on deck and watch the surrounding sightings of Amsterdam is a big plus. We will return as this was a great city break.

CanadaYes, the room was very small, but that was part of its charm. Frankly, the shower was ample and larger than in many traditional hotel rooms we had had on the journey. We were completely satisfied with our stay. I worried a little in advance that the area could be secluded at night, but once there we never felt that. There were people walking to the many hotel boats and other locations, and we never felt anxious.
My 13-year-old son and I chose to stay here for our two nights in Amsterdam, and it was a fabulous decision! It was such a unique experience compared to a stodgy old hotel, and incredibly easy to access from the Central Station (about a 15 minute walk, but easy navigating!) The duvets were so light and fluffy, they felt quite luxurious. We had heard there could be noise of people walking in the hall to their room, so we turned on the fan for white noise and weren't disturbed one bit. Guillermo was the host, and was lovely - he made the most varied and delicious breakfast every morning and we were completely satisfied.

United StatesThe boat is easy walking distance to Centraal Station, thus all of Amsterdam and beyond is easily accessed. I can’t say enough positive about Jennipher and Inma, the concierges/hostesses, who were very friendly and welcoming. I was fortunate to stay in four different Booking.com properties in three countries during this vacation, and they were easily the most hospitable.

Staff is very helpful and kind to us. Breakfast is also very good. You can 7/24 take complimentary coffee and water with snacks at the lobby area. We liked the room and private bathroom. It was such an experience for us to sleep on a canal. Car parking available next to the dock area.

SloveniaBe aware of icy pier just at the entrance to the hotel - it was frosty at night and in the morning going out was a bit tricky
Very interesting format - never stayed on a boat before! The hostess is very helpful and friendly, the common hall on upper deck is comfy with hot tea and coffee available at all times. Room was small but smartly made to fit bag and coat, etc. Decent breakfast. And best location: a very cosy spot near NEMO museum, just 10 mins walk from the very city center, which means that you don't have to worry about night parties to disturb your sleep.

United KingdomNothing! Everything was excellent
Excellent “hotel”. From the check-in/reception we received to the rooms, breakfast and free helpings to tea/coffee 24/7. The location is great, 15 mins walk from central train station, 10 mins walk to shops and restaurants. The host/owners were very welcoming and helpful. There’s a cosy seating area for the evening to relax and chat with a cuppa. Free fruits you help yourself to. The whole boat was very clean and modern. Bed were very comfortable. Shower was brilliant. Exceeded my families expectations. So glad we found this boat. We’ve been to loads of different holidays (cruise, glamping, camping, caravans, hotels) and I can say this hotel/boat is really worth the experience. I have already shared this stay with my friends and colleagues.
