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 KingdomCheck in was 4pm but caravan was still not ready it was being checked over after cleaners had left. Could smell damp in 1 of the twin bedrooms. Dog smell in living room & double bedroom. Shower cubicle not very clean. Don't know why there was 2 dining room tables 1 in kitchen area & another in seating area? TV was very small. No cupboard space for food.
Park very clean & peaceful. Staff very helpful & friendly. Food in Club house exceptional. Swimming pool area spotless. Would definitely stay again but request different caravan.

United KingdomIt is a pet friendly caravan. However caravan had not been cleaned properly after the last tenant/s vacated. The caravan could have been tidier. There was dog hair on the carpets & also the air on opening the caravans did smell of pets. We do not have an issue with pets but it would have been better if the carpets had been tidied up better.
Location is great, water park is well maintained and the caravan site is also clean & tidy. No internet connectivity or signs of any coverage for any network.

United KingdomOn initial arrival, we were couple hours early and we asked if the caravan was available yet, to which the woman took our number an said she would call when its ready, so we got the Impression she was sorting it, over an hour later we checked again and the same staff member denied all knowledge and said it wouldn't be ready til 4, she even said it wasn't her we spoke to and it 100% was. The swimming pool times were rubbish, we were thinking of going after a day out but it was shut before 6, and in the mornings it didn't open till 9, the shop opening times could be better too as 6pm closing is quite early considering the distance to the next shop. We also asked when we checked in if we could park on the grass and the same lady mentioned above said we could if there was room which there was, so we did. We unpacked the car then got a knock on the door by another member of staff telling us we can't park there and to move to a space but the space infront of our caravan was taken, when I asked whos that was he said There's no allocated parking, just park wherever which personally doesn't make sense, I think the caravans should have designated spaces but that's just personal opinion.
We liked the caravan and the cleanliness of it, we liked the walk to the beach although the footpath could do with some form of lighting even if its string lights for night time. The caravan site was peaceful and well kept (plenty of gardening being done to make it pretty) The WiFi was really good We would go back again as it was a lovely week and excellent value for money.

United KingdomNot enough for children, pool looked great but was awfully cold, jacuzzi was not in operation. Club house didn’t open until 4pm. Place was too small in relation to how to number of caravans based on site I believe their was 100 vans but the club house would cater to around 15-20 ppl any more would be overwhelming for the staff to cope with. I also struggled with trying to work out why this holiday park was rated a 5 star ? I would say this is a 3 star considering where we have stayed before. Also no bedding covers provided for the single beds ? Was told the only things we would need to bring would be towels and tea towels , we had to go off to Tesco to buy new bedding covers for the children as it didn’t feel right without covers.
Love the entertainment that Dave provided for the children as with out him the children really didn’t have much on offer other than a small play area and very small arcade area which consisted of 5 games which x3 didn’t work .

United KingdomOne of the spare single beds wasn't made up for our little boy when we arrived. I requested some bedding, as was just a mistake and I offered to do this myself happily. It came up quite quickly from the office, however the bottom flat sheet was covered in mould spores and had stains all over. Luckily I'd brought some sheets from home just in case, so used this instead. Notably, I didn't mention this to the team as it kept slipping my mind, and we had our own to use in place of it so wasn't a big problem and didn't affect our stay in any way. Just not very nice. You have to book slots for swimming on the John Fowler app. This is great in the grand scheme of things, as it guarantees you a swim and ensures it's not too busy. However, you can only book 1 hour at a time and I didn't like my holiday leisure timed off like this. If it wasn't busy, the bar staff said you can just stay in, but it felt cheeky. You can then only book another slot on the app if your session has ended, you cancel it off and then rebook another time. I feel the slots should be extended at least, maybe to 90 mins, or be able to book two in a row perhaps. On the days food is available from the lounge (when we went, this was Thursday to Monday 4-9pm, so no food services on site Tues & Weds), it said you can place an order for takeaway collection on the holiday park app. This didn't work, the link just never loaded. Again, not the biggest inconvenience as we were only halfway up the park so not far to walk. Hopefully was just a glitch, but worthwhile feeding back. The caravans are like paper - we could hear every footstep from the large family next to us. I was woken once or twice in the early hours by them still up running around (by the sound of it). I realise they aren't houses so not exactly sound proof, but it was frustrating at times constantly hearing the banging and noise from across the way.
The caravan we stayed in was I think a mid-range one. It had a lovely kitchen, table and chairs, 2 decent sized sofas and TV with Freeview/smart apps to use. We had a small veranda area opening out of the living room, which was great to use for wet swimming stuff and also to sit out on (of course). The bathroom was decently sized too, shower had good pressure and the en suite in the main bedroom was welcomed. The beds weren't the comfiest, but also were better than most hotels I've stayed in! My little one liked his tiny bed, as he called it, and there was plenty of storage for us all, especially the main bedroom wardrobe and shelves - huge. We had wifi in our van, which I was apprehensive about as other reviews mentioned they didn't have this and a cost of £40 p/w to get some. The site is based in the valley off the main beach, Poppitt Sands. I read some reviews saying the roads were treacherous and difficult, however I don't feel they differ much from the country lanes here in Yorkshire, so was okay navigating these on our journeys in and out. The beach is very close, a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk (at most). The staff were friendly and informative. I feel there was a divide in the hospitality staff to front of house (so to speak), as we found out from some caravan owners that the park was recently taken over by John Fowler and the original owners no longer work there. It seemed as though those on reception had a different understanding or set of information to the staff in the bar and lounge. Overall, this is a beautiful and lovely park to stay at. The grounds are well kept, surroundings are scenic and stunning. The only downside, as many other reviews state, there is just not much to do around and nowhere nearby to get groceries, essentials - you would have to ensure it is brought with you or take a trip out to stock up (like we had to), which can be quite time consuming. Though, this isn't the fault of the park - obviously.
