Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

LuxembourgIt has a special motor room smell in the cabin, but it is possible to get use to it.
It is a unique place to spend your nights. The cabin is cute - it feels like you sleep in a drawer, but the bed is comfy. The staff is open and friendly. The location is lovely - easy access to the promenade, philharmoni, city.

AustraliaVery small space. Expected the room to be small but this was so small there was really not enough space for 2 people to move around without one having to either sit on a bed or go outside. A bit claustrophobic as you are not able to open the portholes. Great if you like ships in original format. Not everyone's cup of tea.
Location. Friendly staff.

AustraliaYou sacrifice some luxury for nautical charm; the cabin was a little cramped. Climbing in and out of the bunk beds wouldn't be for everybody.
Great location on the harbour between the Elbphilhamonie and the Reeperbahn. Good food. Great breakfast.

United KingdomNot much, but you have to be ready for the fact that it's a converted light ship! I travelled to Hamburg for the Ironman. It was a bit of a squeeze in the cabin with my bike box but we managed fine.
Amazing location, friendly staff and atmosphere, great food and drink, lots of fun staying on the ship.

United KingdomThe room was a little bit noisy including a repetitive high pitched beeping sound (like from a distant smoke alarm that needs a battery replacing or something) but I slightly expected some noises due to the location. I used the earplugs they provided (nice touch) and listened to a podcast and then I couldn't hear the noises and I slept very well.
Amazing location for the Elbphilharmonie and for exploring the harbour. Friendly staff. Room was more spacious than I expected. All very clean and charming. Single bed was small but comfortable. Breakfast was nice but nothing super exciting : bread rolls, ham, cheese, boiled egg, orange juice and a little salad. Having read some other reviews I was worried the room might be too warm but it was about right (although it was November!!!). Great shower water pressure. They let me leave my bag after I checked out and come back for it later.

AustraliaSingle room very small which was OK for me, but a tall person would struggle to fit in the built in bed. Shower also very small, but still OK. Biggest issue is the noise when they have live music - it conducts through the steel hull of the ship so there is no way to minimise it. Even with ear plus and a noise cancelling headset you could still feel the beat. But they don't have music every night.
Unique experience staying on a converted ship that is loaded with charm. Staff were super friendly. Location is very good for exploring by foot. Breakfast set in nice. Waking up to see the water through the porthole is very cool.

United StatesThere is limited information about the accommodations in the “hotel” or about getting to the property. Taxis don’t know where the hell it is. This is an anchored small ship and there are stairs to get onto the vessel and stairs to access the hotel area. The ship is not easily accessible and there is no information about that. The room is extremely small. This is a small ship. Guests are staying in sailor bunks. One bed is a bunk that you have to climb into. The shower in the small bathroom has no containment so the entire floor would get wet. The pillows are crap. I asked for an extra pillow and they didn’t have extras. I had booked two nights but only stayed one and forfeited my reservation because they would not credit. We ended up staying one night at Stella Maria which was much more pleasant and still nearby the concert hall. It was also closer to more restaurants.
We visited Hamburg for a performance at the Elbphilharmonie. Das Feuerschiff is close by. The breakfast was nice.

United KingdomWe booked because it was interesting accomodation and it had a bar and restaurant, When we arrived to find they had booked the bars and restaurants out to Xmas functions so we were not allowed in to either, As a hotel resident this is outrageous, it's one of the reason we booked. Not happy at all which will reflect on Trip Advisor
