Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomExtra towels for our 4 night stay would have been useful. There is a gap in the window blinds in the bathroom which needs fixing for total privacy while taking a shower
Loved our time here! Could hear hosts downstairs at times, whistling and fixing things which could bother some, but we didn't mind as we were aware of this beforehand and we felt there was wnough privacy between us to still feel comfortable. We used the sauna every day, but does require some time to heat up. Nice Sukin shampoo/cobditioner/body wash provided. We would gladly stay here again next time we are in AMS!

Love the unique experience of staying on a boat. The location is beautiful. Also love having the sauna as an added perk at the end of a busy day exploring.

AustraliaThe first floor of the boat is inhabitable which isn’t an issue most of the time, however when it is - you really feel like in a share house, no privacy. It’s not immaculately clean. It’s a bit of a distance to everything. Sadly, we were both really sick and really needed the quiet and private time, wasn’t always the case. Saying that, I’d still recommend it for its unforgettable atmosphere if you can overlook sharing the boat and ignore the cleanliness part. If you are young/easy-going and it’s your first time in Amsterdam, you wouldn’t regret staying there. If you are a bit more mature and demanding, the hotel might be a better option.
Such an atmospheric and unique stay. Big space, tastefully decorated in a nice local district. Very responsive hosts. Sauna is a great bonus particularly in a gloomy weather. Great view!

United KingdomA microwave and hob was something we missed although it did have an oven and tea/coffee facilities. Also my husband missed the TV.
The boat was very well laid out with all the mod cons - central heating, kitchen, bathroom. it was very airy with lots of windows. The outside space was nice with a seating area and a sauna. The host welcomed us with snacks and a bottle of wine. Very good communication from the host.

United StatesEverything was great.
This is a wonderful place to stay in Amsterdam and I would highly recommend it! The communication from Suzan was excellent before we arrived and throughout our stay. The boat is large so there is very minimal movement from the waves (my husband was worried about that prior to our arrival). We really enjoyed the cool chairs on the sun deck and the location was within walking distance of the metro and the city center. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone staying in Amsterdam!

AustriaWe rented the boat partially because there was a sauna included. however after waiting 5+ hours the first day and 4 the second day it did just not work, which was too bad, since we were really looking forward to it.
You could tell the owners put thought into making the houseboat feel cozy, that was lovely

United Arab EmiratesThe shower was not in great working condition, with very low water pressure and the drainage not working properly. The bed was a bit squeaky as well, but other than that very cosy. Also, for this sort of price class, I would expect the kitchen to be more equipped with a proper set cutlery, cutting knifes and some basic condiments.
A lovely host, very clean everything, and a super comfy bed.

United Kingdomthe exterior of the boat is dirty. One of the steps as you come into the boat is missing and could be dangerous. The door to the sauna does not close. The boat feels a bit tiered, the exterior could do with a really good clean - windows haven't been cleaned for a good amount of time and the deck has broken seating and seems just left since last summer, some love required.
The view from the boat and the feel whilst inside the boat is romantic and exactly as we expected.
