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 chalets are quite tired - taps leak and no glass plate in the microwave making it unusable. It was also a bit smelly due to having a carpet and a leaking tap. It did air and improve easily. The bed was quite uncomfortable.
We use this venue as a good location to visit family, go walking and cycling from. The beach is lovely- sandy and quiet. It's a bit like camping in a solid hut.

United KingdomNo wifi in the chalets is really not reasonable in this day and age, not when the local mobile reception is barely passable.
Bed was acceptably comfortable. Food was decent and plentiful. Good transport links to nearby towns and the beach (or what I saw of it) was lovely.

United KingdomMy booking has not gone through on their system, so I had to pay £50 deposit in cash. I had to use there cash machine and was charged £1.80 to get the cash. Then had to change my plans for the Monday, so that I could go to reception and reclaim my money. Not a staff problem, a system one that needs sorting. No bedding in room on arrival, and guests in next door room were using my power sockets.
Choice of food reduced if you did not get to the dining hall at the start of each session.

United KingdomThis was our second time at Pakefield. After finding the reception staff abrupt the last time, we were hoping for an improvement. After travelling 3 hours, on arrival, we were told that we had only booked one chalet and not two. I frantically found my booking information to confirm that two were booked and paid for so after a wait, they gave us two chalets. For the first time, we went to the entertainments bar at lunchtime. First day was a quiz, which was good. 2nd day was a game show called Blankety Blue. This turned out to be an excuse for 4 Blue Coats to repeatedly shout out t*ts and b*ll*cks in answer to the questions. We left. The food is ok and what you would expect for a canteen style service (think 1980's holiday camp). The bacon at breakfast is either undercooked or like shoe leather depending on how long it has been on the hot plate. Day 3 breakfast was much better and we asked if there was a different chef on duty. They said, 'Yes, can you tell?'. One evening, there was maple honey salmon on the evening menu which we were looking forward to. The fish was so overcooked it was white! Good job that jacket potatoes are always on the menu with a salad bar. We will go again as the location suits our needs and the chalets are ok. It is a budget break and I suppose you get what you pay for.
The chalets are warm and clean and ideal for a budget stay.
