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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomNothing to dislike.
Lovely static caravan, very clean, great location, Caroline was really friendly and helpful. Great communication, left us milk, tea bags, coffee and a few other nice extras. Homemade soap was a nice touch too. We arrived in Ilfracombe in the morning and was allowed to check in a bit earlier than planned too which was perfect. We loved our stay and would like to come back if that would be ok.

The property was in a quiet holiday park. It was spotlessly clean, and there was a secure decking area with outside dining table. It was very comfortable, everything you needed was supplied. Nice walk to Hele Bay. A few minutes drive into Ilfracombe.

United KingdomGetting to the site is a little tricky, it can be done but it's not for the faint hearted.
Location. Tucked away, quiet location, we had the pleasure of falling asleep listening to the little ford behind the bedroom. Clean accommodation, best equipped kitchen I've seen in a while. We were lucky to have good weather, I'll keep an eye out for this place to return.

United KingdomNothing- it was all good.
This was our second stay at Peaceful Paradise and we enjoyed it just as much as we did last time, it met all our expectations. A lovely modern mobile home on the peaceful and well kept Hele Valley Holiday Park. Comfortable beds, a good easily adjustable shower, a spacious light modern living room/kitchen and a delightful terrace. Everything was sparkling clean. It was lovely to meet Caroline and to thank her personally for providing us with everything we needed for such a pleasant and enjoyable stay. For food we recommend the Hele Bay pub and the Indian restaurant 'Tandoori Nights' did a free delivery service to Hele Bay. This year we made good use of the open top Exmoor Coaster bus for riding back from Ilfracombe and Combe Martin and doing the longer exciting trip to Lynmouth. We also visited Lundy Island and spent a lovely day at the National Trust property Arlington House. We had a great holiday and hope to stay at Peaceful Paradise again.

United KingdomI didn't stay long enough.
Only thing wring with my time here was that I didn't stay long enough. My stay was out of the holiday season so it was super quiet so I was able to totally relax. Great value for money for a 4 night stay. Accommodation was lovely, clean and the bed was very comfy. Dogs loved it to. Idea spot to explore Ilfracombe and surrounding areas with some great beaches for the dogs to have a good run around out of season. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomLockbox was very low down and awkward to see. Tv only loads BBC stations. Not a problem if the weather is good but if you're stuck inside in bad weather. Not so good.
Caravan was immaculate with everything you would need to keep you going through your holiday. The site is in a beautiful valley, the staff are friendly and helpful, ( thanks to the guy who helped me with the aforementioned lockbox. I arrived after dark and couldn't see it). Five minutes walk away you have the lovely Hele beach and Hillsborough. Hillsborough is worth the climb for the amazing views over the North Devon coastline and across to South Wales. If you want a meal out Farmer Martin and his wife provide excellent fayre at Comyn Farm, situated at the end of the valley. Ilfracombe itself has plenty of eateries from chips to fine dining. 25 minutes walk away you have the High St and the harbour. Have a Hockings ice cream, visit Damien Hursts Verity, ( you either love her or hate her), and wander around the pretty harbour. There's so much to see it's hard to do in one visit. Enjoy your holiday
