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 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.

United States of AmericaOur room was very clean and simple, with a side view that included the ocean, even though it was not advertised as a waterview room which was a nice surprise. 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 States of Americayour 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 States of America1. 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.

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 States of AmericaThe 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.

SwitzerlandThe location of the hotel was great but if you are a light-sleeper maybe not the best choice because it can get a little bit loud early in the morning or at night. Also if you want a luxurious bathroom the hotel might not fit for you. But for us it was great and we would come again!
The room was really beautiful and the view directly at the ocean was stunning! The personal was kind and lovely throughout the whole stay. For a couple, the hotel had the perfect ambiente.
