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 downsides were the net curtains as this didn't give any privacy at all and you had to make sure the blinds were closed on the veranda side. The light in the bathroom didn't work and it took us a while to get the shower to work as we didn't realise the switch for both the shower and the jets was in the cupboard in the kitchen area. It looks like a new shower has been fitted and I personally didn't find any issues with it. The sofa bed could of done with a fitted sheet over the mattress but other than that was comfortable enough.
The chalet was perfectly located on the sea front within easy walking distance of the harbour and the coastal path. On reading previous reviews I was quite worried about the cleanliness of the property but upon entering the chalet it was clean and tidy , yes a bit outdated and could do with updating but overall it was fine. The bed was comfortable and the set of bedding for the sofa bed was clean. I would stay here again.

United KingdomThe property is very basic; very dated and is in much need of some TLC. The shower is dangerous as it ran from scolding hot to freezing cold and we couldn’t regulate the temperature. Looking at the visitor book, this had been reported but not repaired. Apart from the sofabed, the rest of the furniture is very tired and worn. There are no curtains, apart from nets in the bedroom. The vent windows wouldn’t open in the lounge so had to leave the door open to allow air to circulate during the night as the weather was hot.
The position of the property was fantastic; right on the sea front. Having the covered veranda was also great as we could sit there in the evenings. It’s got a quirky layout.

United KingdomReally needs curtains. Would make such a difference at night. And to the look of place and the coziness. The thermostat in shower is dodgy, as is the lock on the sliding door to main room. Could do with a deep clean eg behind furniture, touch points etc
Loved the chalet being on the sea front, and the 2 verandas. Lots of wardrobe and drawer space. Loved the jet bath with its L.E.D lights. Lots of kitchen stuff ( though no one ever thinks of egg cups, and no exception here!)my daughter said the sofa bed was comfy. I liked all the bits of furniture and the piano ( needs tuning 😂) as it felt homely.

United KingdomThere’s nothing to dislike about this property—it was wonderful! I just wish toiletries had been provided, or at least that we had been informed in advance that they wouldn’t be.
I booked this for my 35th birthday, and we absolutely loved the spacious property and stunning view. The best part was the convenient parking and the relaxing sauna bathtub. I especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch, listening to the soothing sound of the waves. Geoffrey, the host, was incredibly helpful and always responded promptly to our questions

United KingdomThe bed took a night or two to get used too. The TV signal was lost at times, and the screen image pixelated quite a bit. Decor could do with an uplift.
The chalet was quirky in it's layout. Large bedroom and lounge. Studio kitchen. The glass-fronted veranda was a pleasure to use, especially when the wind and showers came along. The sea view was exceptional.
