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.).

United StatesEverything was great. I found a spider. I don’t think it was the boat crews fault. It was very well hidden. I captured it and removed it from the boat. Didn’t see a single spider for the rest of the 4 days.
I was nervous at first as I had never stayed on a boat and am used to nice hotels… I am so glad I did once I was there. The boat is situated in front of the city center and some really nice restaurants in back. It’s extremely clean (also rooms cleaned daily). The people running the boat are extremely friendly and aren’t all over you which I appreciated. Breakfast in the morning is catered.. really good food no continental crap. And it’s free buffet style. If I go back to Amsterdam which I plan to in the winter time.. I will definitely do this boat again. They also have a 24/7 bar with alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks at very reasonable/cheap prices. Water bottles included

United StatesBreakfast could begin a touch earlier in the mornings. I had booked some early ticket times at museums across the city and had to rush to arrive on time.
Clean, neat, comfortable, well-located boat hotel ten minutes from Amsterdam Central Station. A unique experience supported by a friendly staff and offering lovely views over the harbor. Very good breakfast every morning. Cozy rooms and nice lounge areas.

The Boat was great, the staff ace, and the location spot on. Being so centrally located and under a 10min walk from Central station meant it was easy to get from the airport and to visit the city attractions on foot. The boat itself and the staff was really good. We'll come back to Amsterdam, and will stay on Hotelboat Iris again if possible.

CanadaThe location, while lovely on the water and with its own special benefits, was a bit out of the way if you're used to (or want to stay in) central locations. I didn't love our window onto the dock. It felt claustrophobic to have to keep the curtains pulled all the time for privacy reasons. However, I could see out the windows in the rooms on the other side of the hallways, rooms with windows onto the water way, and I know I would book this accommodation again in a heartbeat if I could be assured a window that looks out onto the open water.
Staff was lovely, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was a nice inclusion. Complementary hot drinks (including hot chocolate for children, and adults who don't enjoy coffee), cookies, and a variety of fruit were appreciated. And, it's a hotelboat -- how great is that?! The common area was really nice and welcoming. This is one of the few occasions where I spent time in the common area of a hotel. It was relaxing and had lovely views.
