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.).

ItalyThis historical ship is unique and the host goes out of his way to help for any need you may have. Cabins are not huge but they are modern, comfortable, and well equipped. We appreciated the furniture, the view, the breakfast, the hospitality, and the background music, which adds to the the lovely atmosphere. Thank you, Richard!

United StatesNo real complaints!
This is a great choice for short stays in A'dam. The cabins are cozy and comfortable. It's nice to be on the water and away from A'dam's busy center, yet close by..The breakfast spread is decent, the views are great, and the area around the hotel has lots of great dining and shopping options.

United StatesWe rented two rooms and one was fine but the other did not have the a/c working the first night [to my knowledge the staff were not aware and nobody was there by this time]. The room was very hot and stuffy and no windows can be open [the downside to a boat]. So that first night was bad for that room [fine for the other]. But when we came back from the museum the next day, the a/c was working! What a difference! The ferry runs 4x per hour but only during typical busy times. When needing to leave in the morning we had to leave very early because there were no boats at 7:30am So it is good to know the ferry schedule during those non-commuting hours before you make plans. The response on the Bookings site is somewhat slow [usually not the same day]. It is because there are very few people working and their main job is as a restaurant that is open for dinner. There is not someone "on-duty" all the time and through the night. It is fine, but just important to be aware of this.
It was a very unique place full of charm. The people on staff were all very friendly. Free coffee and tea were available at any time. The location is one pier over from where the free ferry arrives. It was far less expensive to stay over here and we got to stay on a boat.

RomaniaStatyed just 1 night. :/ Could nitpick how there was a bit dusty on the trim above the bed and 1 towel I belive was stained, not dirty. But pretty minute stuff which you should not value, just enjoy being in a historic timecapsule.
1. A SHIP 2. Staff 10/10 3.Location: good excuse to use the ferry, leaves you right next to the doc 4.A old SHIP 5.A old paddle boat steamer!! Breakfast was good, but the restaurant makes it excellent, felt like I was in 1970, really nice experience, and the selling point of this ship out of them all. Will for sure come here if I visit again, any minor drawbacks are overwhelmed by the whole vibe of the place.

IrelandSome guests might not like that the WIFI doesn’t work down below where the cabins are but on the plus side it works on the main floor and the views are beautiful.
My daughter and I loved our stay. It was a quick ferry from Centraal Station (platform four). The room while small was very comfortable and our suitcases fit neatly under the bed. The bathroom had a nice shower with great water pressure. I enjoyed going up to the main deck in the evening to have a cup of tea and use the WiFi while enjoying the view of the water. We really loved staying on the boat and we’d highly recommend this property.

United KingdomThe wooden stairs are inevitably creaky and other guests moving around the corridor woke me up.
The room is basic, which I was fully expecting. I was more comfortable and slept better in the single bed than I expected. The shower was good, TV, everything in the room was fine. It was fun to be on a boat at the water line. With the reliable and free ferry to Centruum, this was a great option for me as a solo and I would recommend trying it.
