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...).

PolandThere was nothing that the property could've done better, than it was
Breakfast was quite tasty, kept us full till quite late; The location was OK - wasn't too close to the city centre, but it was fine; The room, even though it was 10m2, didn't feel cramped, and was perfect for what we needed

United KingdomHotelboot Zwaan is a great find. It's a 10 minute walk from the center so in a perfect location. Our host Dita was friendly, welcoming & very helpful. The cabins are so comfortable and perfect for a weekend break. Being on the canal I thought it would be cold but it was nice and cosy. The continental breakfast was fresh and plentiful. I would definitely stay here again. We had an issue with one of the rooms on the 2 night but Dita was really helpful and the problem was rectified.

United KingdomNothing in particular - this was what I expected, just one to keep in mind that it's a small space and a little out the way BUT a cute stay and friendly staff nonetheless!
Very cute little stay for the novelty of it - lovely staff, cute room, really enjoyed it. Naturally it's not in the thick of things (except being right next to the Science museum) but the station and town aren't too much of a walk!

IrelandKeep in mind that the boat is some 100 years old, so there are some minor issues here or there (like leaks during heavy rain), not all may be immediately addressed due to the nature of the accommodation.
Cosy, it felt like visiting friends, lovely common room to spend time in (as the cabins are obviously small), tea/coffee, some fruit and snacks available for free 24/7, very reasonably priced additional drinks, lovely host, great breakfast. Great location near the NEMO science museum and the zoo. Heating worked well, enough storage space.

ArmeniaThis is obvious for a boat hotel and can't be controlled, but the humidity in the room was high.
Breakfast was rich and diverse. The room corresponded to the photos and was equipped with everything necessary (there was no hairdryer, but I haven't asked for it, maybe the owner actually had one). The hotel is located within walking distance of the central train station. The owner was friendly and understanding. He expected us after hours, due to the train delay :D
