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 KingdomI love every part of the property but there was no cooking pot just pans if we known we would of brought our own. It made cooking a difficult for us as a family of five we prefer too cook more than eat out especially with young children and the cost of living
This is a lovely spacious caravan with two bathrooms perfect for family or group hoilday. Staff are very helpful and supportive. Very lovely location. We wish we stayed longer!! If you are coming with family I would suggest you book in with the site to get passes as we wasn’t told we needed these to use the swimming pool and the facilities and by the time we release some things were booked . But we had such a lovely stay anyway we did other things also.

SwitzerlandVery unclean, smelt of cigarettes on arrival. Broken window next to the front door with bits of glass still there. Mouldy bread in cupboards, every draw and cupboard needed cleaning. Missing sections of the living room blind that prevented privacy. Dog hair on sofa cushions even though it said no pets. No key code given for entry to the park. Rubbish from previous tenants left under chairs and beds. No tv remote. Beds weren't changed from last guest, crumbs and hair present. Drawers had child level had superglue and other items dangerous to children.
Shower was good

United KingdomThe was an electrical fault on a light switch which caused a power trip. We were not warned about it. We did not feel safe. The vendor had placed sellotape over the switch but as it was dark when we arrived we hit the switch tripping out all the power. I was then asked by the vendor to open the main electricity box with a kitchen knife and reset the trip switch. The gas boiler then needed to be topped up with water as it had lost pressure (presumably a leak) the vendor asked me to take off the boiler cover and twist a switch to top-up the boiler with water. I didn't feel comfortable with this. The boiler cover wasn't secure and the switch was broken. Neverless we managed to get heating and hot water but only for one night as the following morning the gas ran out..though the vendor initially claimed they had recently changed the bottle and made us try several attempts to restart the boiler. Despite us also pointing out that the gas hob was also not working. We were left a whole day with no heating, showers or cooking facilities. We found the vendor initially helpful but then dishonest and finally abusive. We later did some checks and found that the vendor was well known as a scam artist and found poor material on the internet. (Google Lady Sharryn, Sharon Brotherton or Sasha Fontaine as aliases) we also found the caravan was for sale which might indicate why the faults were not fixed. We left a day early cold, hungry and unwashed but despite this the vendor was unwilling to offer any refund which we thought was very unreasonable. Be aware booking.com can do nothing to help you as the contract is with the owner. This was very unfortunate and a mistake we will not repeat.
The caravan was close to st osyth beach and it was clean with good facilities
