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...).

The location is superb - right by the beach. The property is very well appointed, and the communication with the host was brilliant. The view of the sea from the upper floor living room is a real pleasure .

United KingdomOn booking.com it said there was allocated parking which there wasn't that's the only complaint. There is a cheap pay and display nearby if you can't find a spot. It's free from 6pm to 8am.
This is a lovely home right on the sea front. It's very clean and comfortable with good facilities. It was good sitting upstairs in the lounge watching the waves crashing. Beds are very comfortable, bathrooms have good showers. Kitchen is very well equipped. Heating worked well, we needed it! It's close to pubs, restaurants, shops.

United StatesSuper cottage located right on the sea front, with lovely views from every room. Everyone had their own bathroom which is a nice luxury. Cozy and comfy with extra thoughtful touches including a welcome hamper and a cupboard stocked with games for all ages. The location in Sheringham, which is a lovely little town with abundant shops and restaurants, can’t be beat!

United KingdomNo allocated parking. At booking, it stated there was parking, but the in house instructions stated there was no allocated parking on the quay outside the property. It recommended after loading/unloading, that the car should be parked in a neighbouring road (none available) or public car park (very close at £8.50/24 hrs). As it was quiet we parked outside the house on the quay without any problem.
Perfect location. Stunning views. Immaculately clean and newly refurbished. Really appreciated 2 x shower rooms plus 3rd WC. Shops and cafes in the immediate vicinity.

United KingdomI can't think of anything.
Lovely cottage and location with views out to sea. Also close to all amenities and with nice walks all around. In very clean condition when we arrived and very comfortable. Lots to do and explore and a very good range of individual shops, nice pubs and activities on the doorstop. If we were to decide to stay in Sheringham again we would certainly try and book The Wave again.

United KingdomIt’s not a dislike, but a note. The staircase to the first floor is very steep and shallow, it may not suit someone with mobility issues. Personally we didn’t find them a problem and our small dog managed them well. Just an observation, not a criticism at all.
The location and views are outstanding. Panoramic sea views from the first floor lounge bay window. Sea views from all rooms. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and warm. Everything you need is on site. Special mention to Marie (the agent), who is so helpful and totally went above and beyond. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and has been restored to a high standard. A real credit to the owners.
