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.).

United StatesThe steps to the upstairs were very thin. If the back was removed and steps were wider it would be safer, especially for older people.
It was clean and centrally located

United KingdomI bumped my head on the hatch leading to the upstairs bedroom more than once, my own fault I suppose. Some padding on the edge would have helped.
A 12minute walk from the train station, staying on a boat with a fairly secluded outside space, what's not to like! There is a well stocked Jumbo supermarket, 15 mins walk. Space outside to park hired bikes. All water, heating and air con worked flawlessly. This is not a luxury destination, but it is a clean, well appointed, good value option for folk that fend for themselves. All communication with Jeffrey was prompt and polite.

United KingdomRockwool insulation behind the curtain as you walked in to the space. Only as it can cause some skin itching problems for people with sensitive skin. I know there’s a need for soundproofing and insulation but maybe there could be a better solution. And maybe the memory foam mattresses and pillows. If there was a way to rectify this I can’t see anything else wrong with this lovely houseboat. I would stay again even if this wasn’t changed thinking about it.
Absolutely spotless and quite close to the centre. It would have been absolutely amazing if there was a little outside space to look over the river. But the street outlook at the outdoor space was fine.

United KingdomThe houseboat matched the listing and was a cool, fun way to spend a few days away with my youngest child. Everything was clean and well maintained and there was everything there that we needed. The location was good as well because it was just far enough out of the noisy centre, but the centre of town was an easy, quick walk away. Also well located for the zoo.

United StatesThe stairs going into the house were very slim, not wide. The stairs to the loft were also very steep, but we managed. The 2 white stands by the main door should be bolted down, as I reached for one for stability and fell by the door onto the cement, very dangerous with nothing to hold onto.
This houseboat was very nice and clean. The location was very close to the train station which was a plus. Beds and furniture were very comfy.
