Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IrelandWe really enjoyed our stay in hotel Gavina, very nice hotel with great facilities. The views from the hotel were fantastic, we had a lovely sea view from our room and the breakfast area in particular had stunning views of the ocean waves. The staff were great, especially one lady whose name I didn't properly catch (Vivianne I believe?) who was lovely and very helpful. The location was also great, close to some very nice beaches and also right beside a street that had several nice pubs and restaurants. Would definitely recommend!

NetherlandsThe airco in the dining room was blowing hard from many spots in the ceiling and freezing cold. You could see that guests did not appreciate it and tried to find a place outside of the flow (there were hardly any). In addition: It would be nice to also have smaller dishes on the menu.
Very comfortable room with large bed and balcony and splendid ocean view. Staff was extremely friendly with great service.

UruguayI wish there would have been a USB port in my room. I had a little issue with the loo, but I have to say I forgot to tell the staff about it, and when I came back the problem was resolved. Hygiene was good except under the bed and the bathroom floor, which was 80% clean. Some scratches on the bathroom counter as well.
This is the best hotel in the city in terms of view. No doubt. To hear the sea at night is very relaxing, and you do hear it in this hotel. The food was good and the staff amiable.

ChileThe room had a problem with the shower and there were some events during the evenings with extremely loud music which was too much for the "sound proof" room to handle.
Amazing view to the Pacific Ocean, excellent and variegated buffet for breakfast, the swimming pool is quite big and also has an amazing view to the ocean.

GermanyCheck-in at the reception not very welcome. Instead of "buen día" - "pasaporte!" You feel more like a supplicant instead of a guest. Employees, particulary at the reception, seem to be bored, like at a authority as we checked out. Breakfast quality is very poor and low for this price. Hotel all over and rooms need some renovation - bathroom, balcony, spa. Pool looks nice but water is dirty. You have to go through the lobby and restaurant to get there and back. Worst thing were announced (information sheet in the room) events in the hotel by the management. During two nights weekdays in a row it started from 10 pm. Until 3 am in the morning with very very loud live music, which was disturbing the peace all over the complete building. We could not sleep at all - even with closed windows.
Very close to the old town and the beach by foot. Room on the seventh floor with nice view to the sea and city. Comfortable beds. Save parking is very good.

PhilippinesUpon finding a hair embedded in our breakfast we had a dining room staff tell my fiance that the breakfast was self served,,,,,,a little etiquette in customer service can go a long, long way. On another occasion we needed to have my Fiance food warmed up (from another restaurant) and she ordered a coke and I ordered tea and dessert, but the coke was served in a plastic glass, people remember little details like that.
Breakfast was well organized, nice variety, staff was courteous and helpful, when I asked for a water heater they had one in the room.

United States of AmericaThe bathrooms need some more care. Grout was not in good shape and a few chips in the paint on the bathroom counter. Need a little more upkeep.
If you want a room with a balcony and ocean view this is the spot! Breakfast was also very good here. Location is right by the pedestrian street so perfect for walking at day or at night. Lovely pool which I did try. You can't get any closer to the ocean, and I went running on the boardwalk every morning. Main room very nicely done.

United KingdomA stack of dirty plates was usually left outside our room. One of these stacks got larger over two days and wasn't cleared until we called someone. Our toilet was blocked most of the time. Our room wasn't cleaned until late one afternoon one day; again, this only happened because we had to ask for it. On our last day our food took an hour and a half to arrive. I had already walked and was ordering our taxi to the airport when the food finally arrived; in fairness, the restaurant agreed to cover the cost of the food, which was delicious. Still, this was pretty stressful, with a child in tow and with a flight to catch.
Our room had a spectacular sea view, as I believe all of the rooms do. The room was spacious. The breakfast buffet was extensive. The hotel's food was excellent. The location was great; just a short walk from Playa Cavancha.
