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 KingdomThere was only one negative and it’s the double bed - unfortunately it wasn’t very big and wasn’t very comfortable. I moved into the main room on sofa bed and my 6ft4 husband needed the whole double bed! Apart from this, everything was lovely!
Great location, clean, easy to find, good price

United KingdomThe mattresses in the second bedroom were quite hard. We are used to a really soft bed so that’s just a personal preference. The meter was slightly annoying but that’s because we weren’t the best at checking it and topping up before it went off.
The property is lovely, sofa bed was very comfortable. The decor is beautiful especially in the bathroom. The film selection was great, really enjoyed watching spy kids! The property was very clean and felt home from home. Highly recommended!

United KingdomAlthough there were 2 electric heaters, it wasn't warm enough for us. Perhaps, in summer this wouldn't be an issue. It just so happens when days are cooler and cloudy at the end of Spring, it got a little cold. But our duvet kept us warm and cosy through the night. Overall it was OK.
Debbie made sure we were comfortable and assisted us when she knew we were arriving late - after 10pm. Her kind gesture of £2 ensure that there was electricity and warm shower for us when we arrive.

United KingdomI had given feedback to Debbie myself on minor issues and she had replied or acted upon them. That is actually the most important to me as I believe issues should be communicated to the hosts first as they might not realise!
Location is fantastic with a short walk to a quiet beach. Nearby Caister has a Lidl and a Tesco too. 10-15mins drive to Great Yarmouth. Bus stop at the front of the holiday chalets. On site fish and chips shop, arcade, pool (extra charges), club and small shop. Easy to get keys from keysafe. Fantastic communication by Debbie. Had initially switched on "Hot Water" thinking that it was for shower and the electricity kept cutting out, prompting me to put in more £1. I asked her about it and she was so so nice to attend the chalet and put in £1 coins for me to compensate those i had put in which she did not need to actually. Very prompt replies and ever so helpful. The chalet itself is cosy and homely. We were out at the beaches, arcade etc the whole day and so not in the chalet most of the time!

United KingdomFirstly I've got to say the communication was fantastic! We had a lovely 3 nights in a clean and well equipped chalet. We are a family of 6 with 4 children and had plenty of space. The owners had even brought down extra blankets incase it got cold at night. There were clear instructions explaining how to operate the water heater and electrics and a very well equipped kitchen for cooking for a family. The site is really nice and has a club house with a bar and restaurant which served up an amazing roast dinner on Sunday (went for the large! And it sure was!) There is a shop for essentials. There is an onsite chip shop which was lovely we got there just as they opened at 4.30pm and the food was cooked quickly and was as good as my favourite local chippy. Even did pizzas which kept my fussy daughter happy. There is an arcade with an ATM which kept us entertained for a couple of hours. There is a bus stop right outside the gate for an easy trip into great yarmouth with open top buses (kids loved it) I would highly recommend Alicia's chalets and will definitely be visiting again in the future. My deposit was refunded straight back into my bank on the day we left. Thanks again. The Howard family.

United KingdomIt was really cold and there were only thin duvets available. perfect for the hight of summer, but not the start of April when outside dropped below 0. Heater was very expensive to run. A few spare blankets would have really improved things.
Spotlessly clean chalet. All the cookware that was needed. comfortable beds and a comfortable pul out sofa bed.
