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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaOur room was above the neighbouring restaurant and at the end of the day the noise from staff was dreadful. 11.30pm and they are talking at the top of their voices, throwing bottles into bags. Much worse than the noise from the restaurant when it was open.
The location was excellent. Close to train and both old and new parts of the town in Monterosso. Reception staff was lively and very helpful.

DenmarkI thought would be lots of noise from bar/restaurant downstairs but it was okay when closing the windows.
The location was amazing, right in front of the beach. Room was clean and bathroom (shower) was OK size for 3-day stay. Staff was helpful - great restaurant recommendations and also we forgot a charger in the room and she quickly whatsapp me after check out to come back and pick up.

United StatesIf I were to return there are only two things I would do differently: 1) try and get a room with a view of the water, and 2) take the train to Monterosso al Mare instead of drive. The train station is only a few feet from the hotel. Plus, there is no need for a car in the Cinque Terre and parking in the public parking lot is $25 per day.
The location was excellent. The check-in staff was friendly, efficient and offered good information. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I loved being able to borrow a Rick Steves travel book on the Cinque Terre from the bookshelf outside our room! Getting morning coffee next door and sitting by the water outside the hotel was especially memorable.

AustraliaThe wifi kept going in and out . Worked on one side of room and not the other .
The Lady in reception was outstanding. She explained everything about the room , gave us a map with suggestions of things to do and restaurant reception Also our ceiling fan was not working and it was hot . While we were out she sent me a message and put a fan in our room. We were so grateful. The location is beachfront and close to every thing.

United KingdomThe soundproofing isn’t great and I could hear someone’s alarm going off in the morning, also the shower was very powerful but the hot water ran out quite quickly and I had to wash my conditioner out with cold water - a little sign letting guests know to turn shower off whilst shampooing or to use water sparingly to ensure it didn’t run out would be helpful
The location is great - very close to the train station and on the path for walking along the coast, as well as being close by to restaurants. I had a single occupancy room but it had a double bed and a fantastic sea view. The staff were all really nice and helpful which is very reassuring for a solo female traveller. There were some extras in the room such as a bottle of water, a fridge, and a charging dock with USB ports, which were all really appreciated. The shower room was compact but the shower was powerful. All in all a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

Central location near the train station and with great restaurants located right out the front door. Great location for traveler's looking to be in town and get out and about!

United Statesyour manager, Hillary, was very stern at the start regarding the check in regulations, and very understandably so, but once we got there, she was terrific..... so helpful, so nice, so friendly, and we appreciated her greatly..... she MADE our stay at the Agavi. another great point was our view to the water..... very nice, and leaving the window open for the sounds of the waves lapping on the beach was wonderful. the pricing was decent... providing a good value for what seemed like a hostel more than a hotel.... good pricing is critical to make up for the room size and the extremely small bathroom. also, the little coffee shop/convenience store right in the building was great for early morning coffee and cake. the outside seating overlooking the beach was also very nice!

United States1. Lady receiving us kept saying if we wanted to know about restaurants or tours to contact Booking.com, not her. She was not very friendly upon our reception. 2. Our room had a view of the sea if you put your head out the window and turned to the right. 3. Very noisy with bar below throwing glass bottles in trash can.
Nice location

AustraliaLack or air conditioning means the room does get warm. However, there is a ceiling fan and windows open to sea breezes so was manageable.
Spotless, sun drenched room overlooking the sea with stunning views. Superb location steps from the train station, beaches, restaurants, shops and Old Town. Friendly and welcoming staff with helpful tips for a wonderful stay.

United StatesThe Meublè Agavi is not a luxury 5-star hotel. Instead, it is a small, neat, clean facility with a great location directly across the street from the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It is also very near the Monterosso train station. The hotel is operated by Hillary, a most warm and welcoming person. Agavi is in an older building that houses some other businesses in addition to the hotel (not unusual for Europe). Reception for Agavi is on the "Floor 1" which is one floor above the "Ground Floor". Be aware: The front desk closes at 4PM. Guests are given 3 keys to access the (1) street entrance to the building, (2) the door to the Floor 1 area where the rooms are and (3) to your specific room. The rooms are small and Spartan, but very clean and neat. Our bed was comfortable. The bath was clean and functional. Our stay was during September and the weather was warm. However, I did not see a radiator in the room, so if you plan to stay during cold weather, you should ask about how the rooms are heated. I highly recommend the Agavi for those traveling on a tight budget.

CanadaThe hotel and staff were great. No issue with the hotel. Just a comment that much of the beach is private and we were told by beach staff to move to a very crowded public section.
The location is excellent, near the old town, beach access, train station, gelato and restaurants. Hilary is super, helpful and organized, giving great tips on how things work in Cinque Terre.
