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...).

United States of AmericaOnly 2 complaints - the king size bed was extremely hard in our apt. Was not comfortable. The water in the shower did not get very warm. Took colder showers than we were wanting too. That’s it. Loved the Avila Beach Hotel!!!
Very friendly staff, great social areas. Amazing beach! Good and drinks were delicious.

United States of AmericaThe food at the resort is not very good especially the dinners. I have stayed here before in 2020 and the food was better but not great. You have to go off premises to eat.

NetherlandsThe only thing that could be better is the free WiFi. We lost contact a number of times, but it always came back on.
Avila Beach has it all beautiful location, not far from the city excellent facilities and very friendly staff. The nice thing is that despite that it's big complex it doesn't feel like you're there with a lot of people. You still have a lot of room for yourself. The two private beaches are the best example of that, there is more than enough space. The room was big and clean with excellent beds and we had a lovely ocean view.

United KingdomOnly a couple of negatives. There's currently some building work and a temporary reception but it doesn't affect your stay. One night, the rain was so bad that it came through the ceiling in to our room however when we informed reception, they fixed the problem quickly and all the clothes that were wet were cleaned free of charge.
Excellent location, surrounded by a huge choice of restaurants and only a 10/15 minute flat walk in to town. Very friendly staff. Gorgeous beaches. Great facilities. I would definitely recommend and hope to return in the near future.

BrazilPeter and Anneke take care of the minimum details, the hotel has beach towels, a termical box, coffe, seasonings, etc, they prepared a fantastic breakfast for a reasonable price if compared to the island prices, the hotel is 10 minutes away from many beautiful beaches such as Porto Marie, Cas Abao and Daai Booi.

NetherlandsThe restaurants cater mostly heavy food (fried).
The rooms are so clean and the ocean view is amazing. I usually dislike beaches, but these two beaches are very quiet, clean and the water is nice. I love the walking distance to more-than-excellent restaurants near the resort. The car rental had the friendliest staff (which usual isn’t the case)
