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.).

GermanyNothing really. It's not very central, but the is no way you can find a boat hotel in the central harbour for a money like that. The bus can pick you up not far from the boat. If you can walk 15min, there is a direct train to the city center. In the worst case scenario a taxi from central harbour is 45 euros, not the end of the world.
Very cool and authentic place. Great room, with very clean shower. Round ship window with water view of the ships across the channel. Lots of light and space. The living room is comfortable, drinks are provided for donations (!). Breakfast is made fresh for the time you choose. The owner can tell a story of the reconstruction of this 122 year old boat. I traveled with my 6yo daughter and she was absolutely happy about the place too.

AustraliaAll good
The chance to spend time on an iconic river boat was the attraction that fulfilled our curiosity. It was amazing on how the boat was fitted out to take on the function of a hotel or BnB. The hosts Marcel and Heike were very helpful and friendly to make our stay all the more enjoyable. Great place to stay while in Hamburg.

United KingdomLocation was slightly out of the city but absolutely fine if you’re happy to use the great public transport systems. Short walk to the nearest train station, or you can catch a bus if needed.
Amazing, different property which was well equipped. Comfy large rooms and brilliant host. Marcel made us feel very welcome and provided a lovely breakfast, felt very homely.

BelarusA couple of spiders were living in the room :) Not a big deal for us, but could be a concern for some. Some facilities shown in the pictures were missing (no hammock and we had only basic kitchen chairs).
We liked the host, the boat, the river view, the bed. It was a very pleasant stay. The boat stood still, it didn't rock at all, so possibly even people with seasickness could consider this hotel.

United KingdomNot a *brilliant* location for seeing Hamburg itself, neither is it really in the centre of anywhere. Car parking seemed perhaps a little “dodgy” but our car was OK overnight, and perhaps it’s fine.
Marcel was everything the other reviews have said. Gracious, friendly, patient, helpful, but never “in your face”. You couldn’t ask for more. Breakfast was very nice and generously prepared.

GermanyThe hotel is renovated from a ship with owners’ vision and patient. The room is spacey and has distinctive ship features. And thanks to Marcel’s recommendation, we had enjoyed staying in Harburg and get to know a bit more about this harbor. This is a place we would like to visit next time in town.
