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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

LuxembourgThis has nothing to do with the property itself, but Amsterdam really has a littering problem. It may have been worse because the "Sail 2025" was on, but the city authorities truly need to take this more seriously and sort it out. It's such a beautiful city, and it deserves better!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house boat was absolutely spotless, with everything fresh, tidy and well-maintained. It really felt like home from the moment we walked in. The location could not have been better: Just a short walk to the supermarket for daily needs, plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of food, and several charming cafés to relax in. If you want to visit the Anne Frank Museum (just opposite the boat) make sure to book tickets well in advance - we didn't, and unfortunately couldn't get in.

United StatesThis did not bother us but might be a problem for others - the entrance to the house boat requires you to enter down a steep, narrow ladder of about 7-8 steps. It took two of us to get the luggage down, One of us up above handing it down to the person inside the boat. We were on a 5 week trip with our adult daughter so we had 10 pieces of luggage. It was easier to get it down than to get it back up at the end of our stay. Also, the second bedroom is at the stern which you have to crouch down to enter. I hit my head several times going in and out so be careful.
My husband and I travel quite a bit, and this was our favorite experience. From the updated interior of the house boat to the outside terrace to the view from the inside, it was incredible. The owners added many essential items, including salt, pepper, olive oil, coffee, spices, foil, paper towels & tissue (which we find lacking in most rentals). The location is excellent, we were able to walk everywhere, including grocery, central station, Dam Square, Flower market, numberous museums and most tourist areas. There is shopping and many restaurants (including (restaurant Street) nearby. It is on the boat tour loop so if you would like to take a ride around the ring, they pick you up across the canal in front of Anne Frank House. We loved watching the view of all of the activity from the outside terrace or from the pilot house if it was raining. There are two bedroom and two bathrooms which was nice to have. The beds were very comfortable as was the sectional couch for lounging after a big day of touring. They also have a smart TV so we could watch Netflix in English. We would (and will) rent this house boat again.

United StatesWould add some more hooks for hanging clothing, and some alert tape to low hanging ceilings and changes in floor hight (we all hit our head numerous times). These are minor concerns, we loved the place.
Amazing location, and so much more space than a hotel room. Very tidy and thoughtfully appointed property. You need to be spatially aware and have some fitness to navigate the stairs to the boat and the low ceilings in the bedrooms. Would stay again!

United StatesWe are all tall, but were able to move around well throughout the space except for the bedrooms, which had lower ceilings. The second bedroom requires you to almost crawl in to the bed, but we expected small inconveniences like that in a houseboat.
The houseboat was beautiful and spacious and in a great location. Everything felt new and clean. The host was very responsive and punctual and made sure we had what we needed. The weather was a little chilly, but the houseboat had central heating, and even heated floors in the second bathroom. Two full bathrooms were so nice to have. There was also plenty of hot water for showers. It was nice to have a terrace space and the “loft” area above the bedroom. The host left coffee and hot chocolate and a bottle of wine as well.

United StatesThe only comment (not a complaint) is that floorboards are quite squeaky, which isn't a big deal unless you're trying to sleep in the main lounge or kitchen area. Be aware that the bedroom ceilings are very low, but again, that is to be expected in a houseboat.
This houseboat may have the best location in Amsterdam for travelers, being across the canal from the Ann Frank House and many other cental areas of interest, including the Jordaan. It's very well appointed, the hosts were very communicative and attentive, and we loved our stay (only wish it was longer!). It was quite chilly weather while we were there, and the heat system was amazing at keeping us warm and comfortable. It's a good size for up to four people. Highly recommend!

United KingdomGreat location, right in the heart of Amsterdam and just opposite the Anne Frank House. The boat was well-equipped, the living area was very spacious, the beds were really comfortable. The owner gave clear instructions and great advice on local places to eat. We loved sitting on the terrace area of the boat, people watching. The little 'nook' at the top of the boat (Captains Quarter) was a great place to relax, read and fall asleep!
