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 KingdomDidn't like the meter.that you had to keep, topping up.with pound coins and 2 pound coins.we put roughly £15-£20 in for 2 nights and 2 days.the electric fire and the electric cooker.made the electric go quick.the shower water was hit and miss between warm and cold water,no heating in the bathroom. Plus.the window didn't shut properly. So having a shower was uncomfortable. Cause it was cold.no bath mare in the shower.so the floor was very slippy.when you got out of shower.plus there was a step up to the shower.so not good for disabled people.
The chalet was in a good location. Few feet away from the beach.really modern inside accommodation. Beds comfortable. Nice patio area to sit out on.good size fridge/freezer. Plenty of space for my grandsons to run about.loved the bench wat was on the coastal path.could sit and listen to the waves.

United KingdomThere were no towels No bread knife so I bought one to use I bought a cafetiere as there wasn't one The sea view was aquired through a couple of chalets in front of this one. It wasn't in the advert that we had to pay for electric when it ran out. The fireplace is a feature but the fires ate the electric money so not a place to go when it is a bit cooler.
It was in a good location. It was bright. Pots and pans were provided as well as plates cups and glasses.

United KingdomWe liked everything about the property, however we were disappointed that our 3 year old grandson couldn’t have the swim he was looking forward to as the holiday park did not do day passes! We were only there 2 nights and if he’d wanted to swim with Mum and Dad it would cost £18 each! I think the fact that you can’t just have a one off swim (without paying a fortune) would be a good addition to the advertising for the chalet.
Cockleshell chalet has been furnished beautifully. We had everything we needed there for a very comfortable stay. It was spotlessly clean.

United KingdomI had hoped for a better sea view from inside the chalet, but it's a small issue. The chalet is close enough to the waterfront. Not even 2 minutes walk, and you're there 😊 One of the double beds has a huge dip in the mattress. It becomes uncomfortable after a while.
Chalet was well presented, very clean with your essential items needed for a self-catering stay. The location is very peaceful and beautiful scenery.

United KingdomI didn’t realise that’s the entertainment passes were not part of the booking and with a family of four at £18 a pass was an expensive I wasn’t expecting or had budgeted for. Without the passes you can’t access any entertainment or activities like swimming, evening entertainment or bingo. Now I know that I have to budget for passes I would go again but be more prepared. Definitely go to Tesco first as the prices in Park dean are a complete rip off. I paid £7.50 per person for 6 people to go to the “amazing pool party” and we were the only people in the pool and it was just floats and rubbish music 🤦🏻♀️ Also pretty much EVERYTHING in park dean is chargeable
The property was lovely. Beds were comfortable, everything worked well and very clean and tidy and the host replied to my messages very quickly. The beach is stunning and only a 60sec walk from the apartment and sandy :-)

United KingdomNo Wifi even though it was advertised as having Wifi. Owner did not do anything to address this when I raised it. No seaview, even though it's advertised as having this. It's 4 rows of holiday cabins back from the beach, you can see cabins, dustbins and maybe a slither of sea. Mainly clean but a very dusty wardrobe (inside) and a couple of forgotten breadcrumbs in the drawers. Shower is modern but the sealant is blackened from mould, soap tray broken, no hand brush, no toilet brush, a broken broom handle and corroded bathroom window handle making it difficult to close. Paint blistering in a couple of places. The double bedrooms have small double beds that you have to climb over each other to get in or out. They were comfy though. The outside areas of the park as a whole were not very clean. Not huge amounts but notable rubbish, dog poo and even an abandoned car.
Close to the seafront, although this is a tidal estuary, not really the sea. Tastefully decorated. Outdoor space with seating. Amenities of the holiday park on site. Direct parking. Quiet but we went just before the end of schools. Nice beach in good weather. Typical holiday park atmosphere. Acceptable restaurant on site. Good for drinks.

United KingdomThe first night arriving I did the washing up only to find water pouring out across the kitchen floor. My husband removed the washing machine and dishwater to find all the pipe work disconnected. The issue had obviously been on going for sometime as both the floors in the two double bedrooms were soaking wet. The laminate had blown and was like walking on a wet sponge. Additionally there was no hot water in the sink. Despite being advised by owner to run the tap slowly the water never heated up. As a result every I wanted to do the washing up I had to boil the kettle. Finally the wet floors meant we had to keep all bags off the floor.
