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 KingdomSome deep cleaning was in order as there was a lot of dust in many of the nooks and crannies. Also, it would have been good if the solar lights had been fully charged.
I loved the location and being on a boat was very relaxing. Beautiful to wake up to the views of the harbour and to be gently rocked to sleep by the motion of the waves.

Ireland- it is cold (Especially in winter) - it is quite small, we stayed as 2 and it was crammed. - no glasses/cups (at least we could not find them) Whilst it is a bit cold/poorly lit, it is undoubtedly worth the experience
- good experience to stay on a boat - plenty of bedding and heaters - great location - check-in was easy - communal bathrooms and showers were clean

ItalyIt was very cold in the boat. There are two heaters to warm you up, I recommend not arriving late in the evening so that you have a chance to warm up before going to sleep. Unfortunately, the accommodation was very dirty, there were glasses with drinks in them, dirty blankets scattered around, the coffee table was sticky and you couldn't tell which blankets were clean and which were dirty because they were all scattered around.... I don't think anyone cleaned the room from the guests who were there before me. If it wasn't for the cleaning I would have given a higher rating because the experience (for one night) is worth it.
Very convenient location, the view in the morning as soon as you wake up is beautiful. It's a nice experience to have!

United KingdomIt was much smaller than the pictures appeared. It was very cold, thin blankets and not many available. The electricity went and didn't come back on, so we had no heater and it was very cold. Wouldn't recommend staying here in autumn or winter.
The area is nice and quiet with no loud noises at night. Great location, short walk to the centre. The bathroom and shower in the building nearby were clean.

United Kingdom- Wi-Fi on the boat was a little hit and miss - Although it can sleep 5, if you have a big bag that takes up a lot of your space. Our second visit we worked out how to spread things out (first time we arrived after midnight so it was hard to get our bearings)
- If you like camping, you will enjoy the stay. If not, this may not be for you (making your beds etc) - Staying on a boat, in the heart of Gothenburg is pretty querky - The captain was always available 24/7 - The shower facilities are good

DenmarkWe were very dissatisfied with the standard. It was dirty upon arrival, smelling of mold, alcohol and toilet. There was dirt on the floors and surfaces. The door was broken and the boat was clearly not cleaned. We complained to the owner and booking.com. The owner did not reply and we only received a voucher on booking.com with a third of the original price payed for the stay. We left the boat immediately and had to pay for another hotel.

IndiaWe had booked this boat for 5 of us. The boat cannot accommodate more than 2 people. All the information and photos given are not true although the picture of the boat Vega 2 is the right one. The boat had no electricity and the Captain was not willing to help other than pointing me to the info map. Very poorly maintained, the boat was dirty and not suitable for stay. Definitely not for 5 people. They have cheated us of the money and I would not recommend anyone to stay on this boat. After 1 hour when there was no help forthcoming, we had to book a new hotel and move out of the boat. We lost all our money.
Nothing. The boat was located in the pier away from all the facilities. It is a very small boat

NetherlandsWhen I asked if it was possible to store my luggage a few hours before check-in, the host said I could do so for free if I gave them a 10-star review (or pay €30 extra). It's unprincipled to ask the guest for a review before the stay takes place.
Exciting and unusual. You really sleep inside a small floating boat. It's not comfortable, but it's not meant to be. A good choice if you're looking for a camping-like adventure rather than a luxurious stay. For €17 I thought it was a great experience.

United KingdomThe boat was filthy. What I mean by filthy is just that - filthy! "Captain" Christian does not clean this boat - ever! You have to make your own bed upon arrival and strip it upon departure - this is not really an issue as the price point is so low - but you realise that this is ALL Christian does. He quite simply picks up the dirty washing and dumps the clean washing on the beds. It is disgustingly filthy - no cleaning takes place. I double checked that the boat would be warm, which given the month of travel is understandable, and Christian quite clearly states that you can have the boat like a "sauna". What he actually meant was that he would provide you with a tiny blow heater which gave off about the same heat as a dog breathing on your face. Condensation on all the walls due to how cold it was, and it was freezing. It was akin to sleeping outdoors without a tent. Run down, lack of care and cleanliness. Such a shame as this could be a little gem. To top it all off, Christian is "available" 24 hours a day for all your needs - unless of course you leave your key in the boathouse (albeit stupidly on our behalf), which locks behind you - and you call him at 22:00 (I am slightly ashamed of this late night intrusion). I asked if I could perhaps have the code to regain entry to the boathouse and Christian explained that he was sleeping and there was nothing he could do. Not quite 24 hours availability is it? Luckily a lovely young man was popping his bike in for storage and he very graciously 'buzzed' us back in. My only advice to anyone choosing to stay, is please don't. I know it is cheap, but goodness, a bit of elbow grease is always free, there is no need to let something get this filthy.
Location was excellent, felt very safe and was central to many points of interest. Also, the Boat House had excellent facilities. They were extremely clean and warm and there was the added benefit of free access to a washing machine and drier. If you can find another boat to stay on at this location, you will not be disappointed with these facilities.

Czech RepublicGreat experience – sure, there was beer spilled everywhere, it smelled like urine from previous guests, and it seemed like no one had cleaned up after them. But if you’re not a princess, you’ll manage. We actually enjoy rough conditions – we’ve stayed in worse places before. For that price, it’s doable. Life on a boat isn’t for everyone.
