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 KingdomClean and comfortable. Really liked the location and facilities on site. The chalet was a good size, and located at the top end of the park. There's a steep walk down to the main area restaurant and play park.

United KingdomIt’s not the hosts problem but with the weather being so bad there was no suitable place to put wet shoes without going on the carpet. The grass outside was also extremely boggy. Def would need to bring welly’s as back up
Keys were easy to access but the code was difficult to find in all of the information sent.

United KingdomThere is a convenience store at the holiday park but apart from that, there isn't much in the area in terms of amenities.
Easy to access. Outdoor and indoor pool were great for kids. Good location in North Devon, 20 mins drive to Bideford / Westward Ho. The apartment was nice and comfortable. My daughter loved the reclining sofa!

There was beautiful beaches close by where we could take my dog and friendly, helpful staff at the holiday park. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing break.

United KingdomBed was uncomfortable. Wasnt informed that there was going to be a power cut for 2 days of our stay from 8am to 4pm, so we had to leave the chalet as there was no facilities to use, chalet was cold until the power came back on.
Great location and weather was good. Big shower for easy access to get in and out of. Good facilities

United KingdomA few things which made this property disappointing. 1. The mould this was mentioned in a review in March yet the same black mouldy curtains still hang? Black mould also on walls and around the windows. 2. The bathroom wasn't very clean at all the shampoo conditioner and body wash was very dirty covered in brown stuff not been cleaned in a long time. 3. The lack of kitchen stuff. Only 3 table spoons but the chalet accommodates 5. No trays for the oven which left us in a disaster as we arrived 4pm the earliest check in on Christmas eve and all shops are shut and we got stuff cook a Christmas dinner. Loads of pans but why have an oven with no trays? 4. Mould in cupboards and on chopping board. 5. The master bedroom bed is awfully creaky only have to move a bit and it's creaking the mattress is also awful and sinks in I think its very old and needs replacing. Due to the mould this property is less than ideal but would be a lovely property to stay at if these things are replaced along with a few more bits of cutlery and oven trays.
Lovely and quite. Property is large and was very nice and warm. Bedding and towels were supplied which was ideal.

Location is excellent for Westward Ho! beach and the park has some lovely views across the bay. You can join in with entertainment on the park (passes available from the park reception). Accommodation clean and comfortable. Nice to stay in a chalet with a good range of cooking utensils and nice touches for your comfort. We would love to stay again, thank you!

United KingdomThe cabin is quite run down and in need of a refurb. We were provided with a dehumidifer and warned that the cabin became damp in the winter, as such there was evidence of mould around the windows, on the curtains and even in a kitchen cupboard which was used to store cooking utensils. We were told that linen and towels were provided, however, only hand towels were supplied and the bedding on the main duvet and pillow was a scratchy fleece material. The main bed squeaked at every movement which woke us up throughout the night. The property states that swimming facilties are available but these and all other entertainment is only available at an additional cost when you purchase a pass on arrival. The light in the spare room doesn't work and appears related to a circuit issue as opposed to a blown lightbulb.
Owners made contact to ensure we had all necessary info about check in, facilities etc. Check in was straightforward and contactless with a key safe. Coastal location. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. Free and plentiful parking.
