Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

ItalyIt was fascinating sleeping in a real boat on the channel! The host was very kind and the possibility of free parking was really useful. The position is perfect for visiting the city. Just consider that, since it is a boat, there are a few short but steep stairs, so it is not easy to get to your room with a big luggage.

United KingdomNot something I didn’t like but needed to be aware of. The lighting in the kitchen area was not there so we used the lamp from the bedroom. The steps up and down from the wheelhouse to our cabin were steeper than expected.
The boat was spacious, comfortable and provided a good base for exploring Ghent. The breakfast was left outside our door in a wicker hamper. The food was fresh and the coffee station was well stocked with capsules for the coffee maker.

United KingdomIt was a 20 minute walk from the town. but this wasn’t a problem.
We stayed in the captains room with a toddler. The boat was a unique property. It was clean, and the room was spacious, with a separate area for the sofa and tv. We had asked to use the travel cot, but unfortunately when we arrived it was broken. So the staff went out to buy a brand new one. Breakfast arrived in a cute basket and had bread, cheese, meat, fruit and spreads.

NetherlandsThe wi-fi signal is not very stable. It’s fine for surfing but not for work. The shower and the toilet are in a one small room, though it’s very reasonable on the boat
Good location - you can go to the center of the city by foot. Everything is clean and convenient. You can rent kayaks at sail along the channels straight from the Boat

BelgiumWhat we didn't like: it was really too bad we could only stay for one night.
A unique B&B on a river near the inner city of Gent. Despite arriving ridiculously late, the owner was super friendly and we had a nice rest, not to mention a good breakfast the morning after. Very recommended.

RussiaThe shower is awful. It is very near the toilet without any curtain. Moreover, there is no door from the sleeping room to the bathroom. Moreover, the water temperature was very unstable, it was really hard to get hot water. I didn't have much expectations from a boat, but this property was still beyond my expectations. Also the stairs are rather hard and dangerous. I didn't feel any benefits from being on a boat, but there are a lot of uncomfortable things there.
Breakfast was quite delicious. The room is equipped with a fridge, kettle and coffeemachine.

United KingdomSaid 10 mins to the centre walking, we are all fit and it took 22 mins walking through some not so nice streets to get to the centre. The shower and toilet are 1 room which was rusty and when you have a shower the toilet gets wet and so does the floor. Access to the room is through the old bridge room and is steep with your luggage my friend slipped and hurt his knee.
Breakfast was nice, a basket of bread fruit meat and cheese with some juices.
