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 KingdomThe location is very remote within a boat yard and down a country lane. There are no amenities around without driving to pubs, restaurants or shops. Did feel the addition of a hot tub on the decking would enhance the whole experience
Loved the property. It’s ideal for a short two night stay as we did for work. A lovely welcome gift on arrival and breakfast was a great addition. Bedding was so comfortable and luxurious.

The accommodation is small but beautiful and cleverly designed. An extremely comfortable bed. The Ark is spotlessly clean and in a safe location with views of the river. Lovely welcome gifts and a good breakfast. Minor issue with the heating but very quickly resolved by our host. Warm and plenty of hot water for the shower. The Ark is close to Emsworth town centre so near pubs, restaurants and shops. We chose to walk to town so a little dark on the return journey so take a torch with you.

United KingdomThe only thing that we feel could have been improved on was the lack of space for the bedding when set in day time seats and table position. If the under mattress was in two halves so that each half could be placed either side, it would have helped.
The view and the peace and quiet. We also liked the well thought out layout of the Ark. The lady in reception whom we saw on arrival was helpful and friendly.

United KingdomAbsolutely delightful place to stay for a few nights. Perfect to unwind in a quiet marina with a lot of walk/hiking options. The Ark itself is a sweet little pod with everything you need already there: it’s new, clean, has a small shower - toiletries, towels even soft cosy robes included; there’s a small fridge, kettle, coffee machine, toaster etc / well equipped kitchenette. Add to this , all the modern touches: wifi, bt speakers, tv etc. Steph, the host was the most helpful and lovely pre&during the stay! Enjoy the welcome drink on a lovely patio deck watching the boats and the tides go in&out! Thank you! We loved it & will definitely come back!

United KingdomThe only thing I can think of is the fridge. It is very small and could do with a freezer compartment. This is being very picky though
What a gem. This was a surprise weekend away for my partner, and neither of us were disappointed. He couldn't believe Sea Breeze Ark and how unique it is. The facilities and extras are superb. From beautifully soft smelling robes and towels, prosecco on arrival, colour changing lights, the wet room and the outdoor furniture and blankets. It was spotlessly clean and so welcoming. As expected it is compact, so you do need to be tidy! I would not hesitate to recommend Sea Breeze for a relaxed get away

United KingdomOur experience as property designers and maintenance company - The wet room could have had a corner basin as the rectangular one was difficult to use, I mean to get your head over, brushing teeth etc! It could also have a wider blind that is mounted lower on the wall to accommodate covering the whole of the side are of the beautiful window.
We were given a breakfast which was lovely and fresh, two little bottles of prosecco which was a great treat, we loved the location and felt really safe. We had a fantastic time and loved being back on water.

United KingdomEverything was excellent.
Wonderful location to explore Thorney Island. It was amazing to be able to see the tide come in and out and all the birds on the creek from our accommodation. The breakfast food provided exceeded our expectations and the bottle of sparkling wine was a lovely addition. We liked the mood lighting. The accommodation was very cosy and easy to adjust the temperature. It was well laid out and we were pleased to have a slot by the door where we could put muddy boots and hang wet coats.
