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.).

GermanyWe knew going in that it would be a small room, considering it is in a boat. But it was still a bit smaller than expected. Especially the bottom bunks are quite limited in terms of movement. Would not recommend to people who are claustrophobic.
The place was really close to the centre of the city, and on the sea. It was really nice to wake up on water, watching the birds. The lady who made us breakfast was really sweet, breakfast itself was quite good, and we could leave our luggage there for a while after checkout and before checkin.

FranceThe hostel is very expensive for a little cabin. But this is the case for every hostel in Amsterdam: the city increased the hostel prices to decrease the number of tourists.
Tommy was very kind ans helpful, it was a pleasure to discuss with him everyday and he has good advises and addresses to visit. The boat is clean and well placed. You will appreciate your coffee time on the boat's bridge with the sun 🙂.

CanadaMovement of guests boarding the boat late at night was audible, and one guest made a bit of noise by this was quickly cleared up by Tommy. The cabin was small, but I had a full-sized suitcase and two other bags. However I knew this coming in. If I had a large backpack it would have been perfect. I am 5'8" but I would imagine the beds might be a bit short for people 6'2" and up.
The room was a boat cabin, and as expected, it was very small. The captain/host "Tommy" was very friendly, very helpful and was generally available to attend to my needs. He worked with me to make my stay flexible, comfortable and the slightly unusual establishment met my needs of cleanliness, security and extremely good value for money. It's central, within walking distance of many of the major tourist attractions and importantly, near the central station. The central "galley"/dining hall/kitchen was surprisingly homely and there are all kinds of games and books in different languages to spend a rainy day. Showers and Toilets were rudimentary, but spotlessly clean. There was a wonderful, outdoor deck with chairs and a table to share a sunny day - must be wonderful on a cruise.
