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.).

SpainThe wifi does not really work, but honestly you can use this time to disconnect. Food: the first day was really good, the breakfast and dinner were correct, good. But the food in the daily boat on the second day was not quite impressive. About the bay’s water: a few areas were quite dirty with waste, which didn’t convince me to swim there (this was a pity since I was looking forward to do so). I would love for all the cruises in the bay to start an initiative to clean the waters from all the waste, not only to make it more appealing but to keep its beauty and take care of the environment.
We loved the cruise, breathtaking spectacular views. Thank you so much to the staff who were very friendly, welcoming and very supportive. I wish we stayed longer, would definitely come back! The activities were so nice, our favourite being the Viet Hai biking. I 100% recommend to do the 3D2N (so much to do with enough time to relax and enjoy the jacuzzi, balcony views or the sundeck) instead of 2D1N (maybe a little rushed).

What we loved the most about our stay was the amazing staff – especially Katie Butler. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and welcome. Katie was incredibly kind, approachable, and always ready to help. Talking to her was a real pleasure, and thanks to her we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. She is such a genuine and pure soul, and we truly recommend everyone to get to know her!

NetherlandsUnfortunately, there were also several downsides. The biggest disappointment was the food. It was bland and lacked flavor, which was surprising considering the high price we paid for the short stay. I can understand that some dishes are tailored to Western tastes, but even then, it should be possible to create meals with more taste and quality. For the amount we spent, I really expected this to be much better. The setting itself was also less idyllic than I had hoped. Instead of the peaceful atmosphere I remembered from nearly 20 years ago, the bay was now crowded with dozens of other boats. In the evening, when we wanted to sit outside, the constant noise from the engines both from our own boat and from the others made it hard to relax. That magical feeling of being surrounded by nature was unfortunately missing. All in all, it was still a memorable experience, and I can appreciate the effort that went into making the trip enjoyable. But if you ask me whether I would do it again, the answer would probably be no. The charm and tranquility that once made this tour so special have faded, and I think I would have preferred to keep the beautiful memory I had from 19 years ago.
We recently spent 21 hours on board and, while there were some highlights, the overall experience left us somewhat disappointed. To start with the positives: the bed was wonderfully comfortable, and the cabin itself felt quite luxurious. A little extra maintenance here and there would have made it perfect, but in general it was pleasant. The activities were also enjoyable kayaking was a lot of fun, and the cooking demonstration was engaging and well presented. These elements added something special to the trip and gave us some nice moments to remember.

Great service! The whole team was really nice—especially Jessica. She was amazing: always smiling, warm, and provided quick, friendly service. The program was perfect. There was a great mix of fun activities around the bay—like kayaking, swimming, and exploring the bright and dark caves—while still leaving time to relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.

I would recommend the 2 nights/ 3 days version because the trip to the island on day 2 should not be missed as you get to see more of the sea- and landscape.
