Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe chalet smelt unpleasant when we first arrived. After a few days, the smell disappeared after we wiped over the sofa, sprayed the room and opened the windows.
The areas around the chalet were kept clean and tidy. Easy access to a beautiful beach. We all enjoyed the arcades 😀 There is lots to do in the surrounding areas. We enjoyed our stay, my son made lots of friends. The chalet was equipped with everything we needed for our stay.

United KingdomOnly down fall was a bad odour lingering from previous guests but was gone by the next day once we used air fresheners and ventilated with all windows and doors open. My partner also thought the shower head would of been better if flexible rather than being a fixed head.
We liked the Chalet it's self, as it was clean and tidy with all things we needed to settle in for the week. Had a garden gate at the front for us to be able to sit outside as a family, while our dog could join us but on the other side of the fence. Great location to the club house, shop, swimming pool, bar, arcades and a 15 minute walk to the local beach. Would definitely stay here again, if we are holidaying in Great Yarmouth.

United KingdomWafer thin internal walls . Coin operated electric meter. ( possibly a very old system in place and probably the same throughout the park and not the owners fault?) . The doors leading into the bedroom / bathroom are configured badly so kept colliding with each other on opening / closing. Bedrooms were very small...just enough space for the beds. In the twin room it was impossible to open the bottom drawers of the unit as the bed was in the way.
the property was in a good spot for visiting Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Hemsby. it was very quiet and good value for money. it was clean upon arrival .

United KingdomLocation was good, close to all amenities on site. Chalet was very clean and had everything you need. My son and daughter were very happy with the chalet Internet, if you have kids or young adults that can’t live without it Lol. The owner of the chalet was very friendly and easy to talk to making sure we knew everything before our stay.

The central location is great with the beach within walking distance, swimming, shops, food & arcade on site. Shower & bath with a fully equipped kitchen & all home extras. Double bed is extremely comfortable. Very clean.

United KingdomThe floor was not very well cleaned and the air inside seemed a bit closed.
Very well equipped chalet. It has almost all that you might need in a kitchen, DVDs, toys, storage space, etc. It was also easy to find in the California sands park.

United KingdomBed Uncomfortable like a police cell mattress, Bedroom was very small, the sofa I think came from Temu, every time that you sat on it the arms fell off !!!! The neighbours seemed very nosey lots of curtain twitching going on. I think I would off felt safer in Jaywick in Essex. I was surprised to find that my car was not sitting on breeze blocks the next morning.
I liked leaving early and going home. Great for kids and a beach holiday otherwise avoid like the plague.

United KingdomDidn't realise the season ended so early being first week of September, so no entertainment Mon to Thurs except bingo. Things don't stay open late, chip shop shut at 8 as did the on site shop, and the eaterie inside shut at 7pm. Guess this is due to being out of season .
Lovely clean chalet, everything you need is there, very handy for club house and not to far to drive anywhere and explore other places, would recommend to anyone and definitely would love to stay again. Also the owner will answer any questions you may have.
