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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomThe caravan was absolutely lovely and had all of the equipment we needed. The beds were also really comfortable and was in a perfect location, it was quite far away from the amenities but I preferred this as we were away from the noise. Our host was also great as she sent all of the information to us really quickly and was very quick with responses.

The caravan is in a quiet cul-de-sac of the main park, it is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self-catering stay. It was just the right size for a family of four. We managed to pick an extra cold weekend but the heating kept us all warm and toasty. The beds were super comfy and we all enjoyed a good night's sleep. The park location is ideally situated for everything we wanted to do. The host was informative and gave detailed instructions on how to access the park/caravan. Well worth the price for our budget.

United KingdomModern tv, probably too modern for us, not able to get any terrestrial channels,and only bbc 1 on internet. Kept asking for passwords etc,and always reverted to “Together tv”! We didn’t bother the owner about it,I’m sure she would have soon sorted it, we were out and about most of the time anyway,so not a big issue.
Nice setting ,not overlooked at all, and parking right in front ,which was perfect for us. Good Wi-Fi, Well situated for visits to Swanage,Poole,Bournemouth,Christchurch,Lymington ,New Forested etc. Plenty of restaurants etc ,would recommend The Sandpiper,Christchurch,The Red Lion,Poole. for best value. Would stay here again.

United KingdomThis is nothing against Katherine at all or the standard of the caravan. This big moan is about booking.com and oakdene. I have put a large review on trip advisor and Google about oakdene. In a nutshell if you book on booking.com or any other site except oakdene you do not receive any park passes. I'm not sure if other websites mention about it but booking.com didn't. So whilst the park has a bar, restaurant, pool, sauna, gym, arcade machines etc, none of these are available to use unless you have a park pass. You can use the shop and that is it. You have to pay to get a pass so in effect if you are an adult you are paying £11 per day to just go to the bar or restaurant and pool. If you just want a drink one night it's £11 for the pass then the expensive drinks on top. I can understand having to pay to use the pool, or gym or activities. However to pay that to pay more money to complex to have a drink or meal is ridiculous. They try to fob it off on the caravan owners. So beware. If you are not bothered about using the pool or having a meal on site or a drink then great. As above, the caravan has no faults.
The caravan was superb. I cannot fault the caravan whatsoever or Katherine as she text me whilst she was on holiday in Italy about the curtain rail. The caravan was beautiful inside, clean, great en suite in bedroom and good location

United KingdomThis is not the owner’s fault, but dogs were barking loudly at night and disturbed our sleep. This is probably to be expected in caravans because the walls are thin. We also had difficulty finding the park at first because the address took us to the wrong place. After our stay, we tried to tidy up as best as we could, although we didn’t vacuum, but the owner said we left it in a messy state. Of course, we will pay the additional charges because we are not confrontational. However, the owner should consider charging more for cleaning in the rental price to avoid having to write messages about cleanliness issues afterward, as this might discourage guests from visiting again.
Caravan have 2 toilets, it was great. Nice outside sofa with coffee table. I liked that it was close to the sea and near Peppa Pig World. We also enjoyed the pools and sauna, and we had a great time there
