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 are 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 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.).

GermanyThe boat could do with some attention here and there. The sofa is a bit worn out.
We felt very comfortable on the boat. When the city became too crowded and hectic, this was the perfect place to retreat. Every day we had a visit from a family of coots with babies. The stocked fridge on our arrival was very nice as we arrived unexpectedly later than planned. The host deserves a special mention. Fake was kind enough to send us a stuffed bear that our son had forgotten on the boat. But not only that. He also documented the bear's adventures, which it had experienced without us in Amsterdam. Very kind.

United StatesThe sleeper couch really could use an upgrade, the rails could easily be felt thru the mattress making it uncomfortable.
Delightful houseboat, shared space with 2 young adults. Bathroom is very roomy for the space, having a kitchen well stocked with lots of snacks, fruit, milk, juice and coffee was much appreciated! The bedroom mattress (a double size) was very comfortable and a peaceful little space. The outdoor deck with seating facing the canal could not be beat, we spent a lot of quiet time out there- what a beautiful location. Enjoyed a splendid sunset, visits from water fowl and watching city life all around.

We loved staying on the boat, it was such a unique experience! Fake was an excellent host and went above and beyond to insure we were comfortable providing snacks, fruit and fresh flowers. We loved feeding the ducks and swans grapes off the back of the boat! The location was excellent, only about a block from the Anne Frank house and in a beautiful neighborhood.

United States-Asked the owner if an early check in was possible, about 9:30/ 10:00 o'clock. Was informed that it was and asked to give a "nice" tip to his sister who would meet us, nothing mentioned about an additional fee. A tip was given,(20 Euro) and was subsequently informed that it was inadequate and told an additional 105 Euros was owed. If a fee was required for an early check in it should have been conveyed when I asked for the early check in. -The gangway into the boat is sloped downhill and canted to the left. You have to step over a rail at tripping height. NO Handrail. If you have any mobility issues or are older, this place should be avoided - very loud bar across the canal that goes until 3 o'clock in the morning
Great location, close to anything that you may want to visit. Unique lodging as a houseboat on a major canal. Fun to watch other tourists go by on a canal cruise and think you are a local! All the amenities you could ask for. Bed super comfortable. Overall the houseboat was well equipped and our stay was very enjoyable.

United StatesIt could use a little upgrading.
We loved sitting on the porch watching the boats go by. We also had several ducks with their two babies came by to visit looking for food. The host recommended feeding them grapes. We love staying in unusual places so we really enjoyed it. The host provided fresh fruit and refreshments in the refrigerator. Nice tough. If you like posh hotels you might not enjoy this experience.

United StatesIt is a bit small, but this was expected. We had two adults and two kids and it felt tight. I wouldn’t recommend this for 4 adults. Perfect for a couple.
The houseboat is so great! The location is perfect! we absolutely loved staying here. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is so much to do nearby, so you can walk everywhere. Sitting on the porch and watching the boats and bikes go by is so nice. The beds were comfortable. Fake is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Overall we loved this place and would definitely stay here again!
