Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomWe were there only for one night. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Location was superb, the accommodation was great. We liked the small details/gestures the hosts provide. The whole boat has a nice homely feel and it was truly our home away from home. Can tell the hosts want everyone to feel comfortable during their stay.

NetherlandsOne downside would be the cold bed, it would be good if you request the host to warm up the room; otherwise, I enjoyed the stay.
I definitely enjoyed my stay at B&B Unitas, the place is clean and the host is friendly as well. It was my first boat stay so I am not sure what to expect. I went to Netherlands for a school exchange and is really great that I have such an unforgettable experience.

United KingdomThe facilities are good, the bathroom is a bit pokey as you would expect on a boat but the shower was good and it all worked fine. The folding beds were comfortable and the kitchen area had everything we needed, though we went out to eat anyway. The location in a quiet dock is a couple of miles from the city centre, but there's a tram stop just a 5 minute walk away and metro stop about 10 minutes away.

United KingdomI'm 193cm tall. The shower cubicle is much shorter. It wasn't that I didn't like it. It's certainly something to be aware of. Actually, looking back, there's nothing I didn't like. The gangplank is a metal grill. I didn't like carrying my dog Panda over it.
The boat hotel is quaint, friendly and located close to Rotterdam Zuid train station. My dog and I slept like logs. The breakfast was delicious and hearty. The surrounding area is great for a wander. Plenty of shops are around a corner. It's an idyllic hotel. I wouldn't swap the experience for any other hotel. Thank you kindly. Panda and I stayed at this dog friendly hotel, en route to Rotterdam Europoort, having landed at Amsterdam that morning. The hotel helped arrange a taxi too.

SloveniaThe internet was rather slow, but this was a minor issue in an otherwise wonderful stay.
This is an amazing experience to stay on an historic working boat. We entered our room via the wheelhouse and descended into a pretty, wood-paneled space. Very comfortable. There is a small kitchen (stove, refrigerator), so that one can self-cater, but you can also pay for them to deliver a lovely full basket of breakfast items, including warm bread and boiled eggs. We enjoyed our experience very much.

Almost 600€ for one week without breakfast and you can't even go out when you want. Apartament is also really small and I don't even talk about the bathroom, ceiling in the shower is maybe 170cm high and if you want warm watter you need to wait.It did not meet our expectations at all, sorry.

United KingdomThere are a few things you should know beforehand: 1. B&B but breakfast is extra, it costs €12.5 per adult and half price for a toddler. 2. The owners live on the same ship. They do not come into the guest area, but I could hear everything from conversations to the dog's footsteps. 3. Most importantly, the information on Google Maps is currently correct! The owner told us in advance that the correct description of the location and that the information on Google Maps was incorrect. However, the English in the description was not quite accurate and the street names shown were very confusing as we didn't know they were street names. We lost valuable time trying to find the ship.
lovely breakfast cosy rooms suitable for up to 3 people valuable experience on board

United KingdomWe would have liked a cooler bedroom, either by installing a fan or mini aircon device as it was almost impossible to get to sleep when no air or hardly any air was coming in through the portholes. Apart from that and the lack of a door on the toilet, we there wasn't anything we didn't like about our stay on the Unitas.
The location was perfect, just around the corner from our Aunt we came to visit. The weather was glorious, about 28C and we had some difficulty sleeping as the room was very warm. My daughter was not happy with the lack of a door on the toilet/shower room, I wasn't overly bothered about that. We were only on an overnight stay and being used to camping holidays, staying on a boat with limited space, was not bothering me as much as it was my daughter!
