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 KingdomCould do with a better clean and update the fridge and cooker as was rusty and didn’t smell the nicest. Also the back bedroom gets wet by the window which made the bedding very damp. Also didn’t like the fact you couldn’t use the on-site facilities unless you brought a week pass for everyone not great if your just staying for the weekend.
On the whole was an ok stay had everything we needed.

United KingdomThe chalet smelt strongly of bleach and the floor was slippery from the amount of bleach used to clean it. We didn't realise until my husband walked on the floor in black socks and the amount of bleach residue still on the floor stained his socks. The double bed was very noisy and led to a poor night's sleep as it woke us every time one of us moved in the bed. We also thought the living room furniture wasn't very comfortable.
This was a close walk to the beach and amenities.

United KingdomChalet was dirty and not looked after. We had to clean all the door handles and light switches when we got there. Big cobwebs in the corners of the room, the storage cupboard door is filthy and the hoover doesn't suck anything up! H+S in the bathroom is needed, needs a bathmat and anti slip in the shower to prevent falls. No hooks on the door for towels. Needs a new double bed! Needs mould cleaning around all the windows. I wish owners would stay there themselves before renting them out.
It was ok to rest your head after being out all day but not a place we would stay normally. It wasn't advertised as being in a park Dean resort so we were shocked when we got there. It was a run down part of the park

United Kingdomwe had a very good stay. The chalet was very clean and in good condition and the bedding was of very good quality. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. a plus the green space behind the chalet where the children were able to play ball. We were able to access the swimming pool of the resort with a pass. The resort playground is also new and close to the chalet. And there is a mini indoor play area in the restaurant with a terrace with a magnificent view of the estuary.

United KingdomBathroom floor & front door area damp, and with the rainy weather and beach this was a constant wet mucky floor (especially with mucky paws too) also the bedroom doors don’t close very well and being that it is asked dogs are not on the beds this was a bit tricky when they don’t shut properly. However wonderful stay and would return in a heartbeat!
Went away for Christmas for the first time ever and it couldn’t have gone better. The location was perfect, the view from the patio doors I will actually miss. Clean, cozy, & comfortable and the heaters were on ready for our arrival. The chalet is literally a stones throw from the steps down to the beach, we had some beautiful walks 😊

United KingdomAccess to site was difficult because of extremely bad weather with some flooding, and site was evacuated for safety reasons on the Tuesday afternoon, sadly after we had only been able to stay there for the first night of three.
Accommodation extremely nice and comfortable and site was clean and tidy. Park Dean staff were all very helpful.

United KingdomThe chalet was very dirty in all rooms, kitchen, toilet. There was spiders and cob webs in every room. Under beds in all room was VERY dirty, there was rubbish under beds. Bathroom was very dirty and we had to unblock shower drain. The washing machine we had to clean inside for our use. The fridge was rusty and dirty inside. The whole chalet stayed damp in all rooms. All the beds were very uncomfortable and need to be replaced. I have a very sore back from this and had 3 sleepless nights. Unfortunately this is the second time coming to Carmarthen bay and won't be coming back.
