Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

ColombiaWe had a misunderstood at the check in process but finally, it was positively resolved by the hotel manager.
It was my first time as a guest at this place and I really enjoyed it! The beach was really nice and convenient, there are too many restaurants in a walking distance.

NetherlandsIf you spend the day in the hotel, I missed more snack options in the bar like a simple toasted ham and cheese sandwich.
The hotel is very nice with beach, swimming pool, gym, restaurant and everything else to spend the whole day. The room was pretty new and the location is also good to go to the city center or to the other restaurants nearby in the evening.

United StatesI would have liked to have better gluten free options, as well as a more lively scene at night.
I loved how it did not ever feel crowded on the beach at any time; there was ample space for everyone. I loved how there were 2 beaches to choose from, both private. For example, if you stay in the Mambo beach area, it is very crowded. If you go to Aruba and stay in the Palm Beach area, you will have people who are not paying to stay at your hotel walking through your facilities, beach, and pool area, even using your bar and restaurants you are paying for. Avila is nice because it felt like it was truly our home away from home. The bar tenders, specifically Jose, were very kind. Sheldon was also attentive. Jesus was not the friendliest though.

NetherlandsThe only thing is that the staff put the Airco at 19 degrees when they cleaned room, but that is way too cold. You will never get used to the local weather like that

BelgiumAs of November 2024, they were remodeling the breakfast area. Personally, we were not inconvenienced by noise or by lack of facilities.
Beautiful hotel in a historic setting. Breakfast was delicious and really good value for money compared to breakfast out in town. The Avila beach itself is gorgeous, they have their own coral nursery. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

United StatesCould have used more ice machines and places to get ice, especially when the one broke. We were put off by smokers, especially on the beach and just throwing their used cigarettes on the sand. So bad for the ocean!
Extremely helpful, friendly and professional staff - everywhere: front desk, cleaning and maintenance staff, food service, and waitress/waiters. Wonderful! Great people! The closeness to two lovely beaches. The availability to sunscreen and bug spray. Appreciate the shuttle downtown. Appreciate the recycling bins and hotel's work for the environment.

CanadaThe only thing that could have made it more convenient would have been if the room had a microwave but we knew there wasn't one when we booked.
We had booked a Preferred Room in the Octagon wing. Prior to arrival I had asked for a room on a higher floor with a nice view. Upon check-in we were upgraded to a Deluxe Room in the Octagon wing. Room 316 was a corner room with a nice sea/pool and courtyard view. The room was spotless and very large. Room had a decent size fridge, a nice coffee machine and a kettle. Coffee was replenished daily. Dishes were also provided. Nice ice machine in the building to refill our water bottles. We ate at the Blues Restaurant on our first night- excellent burger! We had the buffet breakfast on one occasion (25 USD pp) and everything we had was very fresh and good. Good coffee/juices/mimosas included. We enjoyed the beach further away from the pool since it was quieter and less crammed. We never had an issue getting a hut for shade. Beach and grounds of the hotel are all very well kept and clean. All our interactions with staff were positive and many would say to us : welcome home! A short walking distance from the hotel (probably less than 200m) there are many nice restaurant options. Walking to Punda is also only about 15mins and safe. We rented a car for 3 days and parking at the hotel was free and never an issue. Check out is noon but they do keep your luggage and allow you to reserve a time in a shower room to freshen up before heading to the airport.
