Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomCaravan: Some repairs are needed: A few of the window latches are either stiff or broken, or just not there. One of the bathroom ones is missing, and bedroom ones really stiff. The gate needs fixing. We went with a 1 year old and the gate can be blown open, so a repair to the gate to make it more secure. WiFi is advertised but it dropped out a few times and when it was working, it was extremely slow. Was quicker to use 4G mobile data. Provided some useful things apart from toilet paper, so would have been handy to have toilet paper but luckily I came prepared. Park itself: There is no where that advertises what time the restaurant opens. We wanted breakfast so got down there for about 8, to find no one to ask as the shop / reception doesn't open till 8:30. Then found breakfast served at 9. So it was hanging around, so we didn't eat there for breakfast again. Same with the pool, you have to queue up the morning you want to swim to ask if you can book in for swimming. Otherwise the park is in a nice location, great base. Just feel like information was missing. Maybe because we didn't check in there? So either caravan needs that info or the park needs to advertise.
The caravan is lovely! Felt spacious, clean and I love the communication we had from the owners. They got in touch before our stay, and really made us feel like this was going to be a good holiday. They provided some necessities like washing up liquid, towels, hand soap. When we went away last year we had none of that so we were over prepared. A lovely touch. Overall a lovely caravan and the facilities and the park were a good base.

IrelandIt was clean, quiet and peaceful. I was grateful that my booking was accepted so late in the evening. Everyone was friendly. The receptionist at the main facility was lovely and very accommodating. There was a warm swimming pool for the kids to enjoy. It was only a few minutes drive from the seaside, also walkable.

United KingdomWe think the caravan needs a little tlc. The pull out bed smelt mouldy and could not be used and the cushions above were a little grubby. One of the taps was loose on the wash basin in the toilet. Outside the latch on the gate was broken and only kept closed with a stone, not ideal with a near two year old child. The garden chairs were also dated.
Location on site and for the surrounding area. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bed linen and towels provided were nice and clean. Communication was excellent from the owners who gave very clear advice and directions.

United KingdomCaravan a bit tired. Ice trays needed, site shop didnt have any bags of ice so had to go to another caravan park to buy. Need a decent frying pan! Very lightweight bedding on doubles, had to ask for blankets which were then supplied.

United KingdomNo complaints about the caravan the rooms are small but fine for a short break with the kids. Be aware the indoor pool in the entertainment complex is fairly small (the outdoor pool was closed) so we went to the local leisure centre pool instead which is a short drive away. Try and download the Park app before you get to the site as we couldn't get it to work on site (as the internet signal was weak due to the weather). We did find that when walking with kids around the site we had to be quite careful as some people drove too fast.
Clean comfortable caravan, good for an inexpensive short break. We found the part of the site we were in quiet and it was great to be able to leave the car and walk into Dawlish Warren and get to the beach. The park is very well located. We really liked Dawlish Warren itself.
