How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I can’t say there was anything I disliked, it was truly a lovely experience.
The staff, the atmosphere, the facilities were all excellent. I didn’t expect there to be daily classes for yoga, Pilates, stretching as well as aerial yoga to choose from! It felt like a retreat in the nicest most relaxing way.

I’m pretty certain our first stay the hotel was adult only. This visit there were quite a number of families with children. This wasn’t an inconvenience and hasn’t changed our opinion of the hotel. We upgraded to a premium plus room and was a little disappointed to find out there was some quite noisy maintenance work being undertaken in the adjoining room. This was only for approximately 2hours on our third day
This was our third stay at Lava Beach, so we knew what to expect. The hotel is meticulously clean and maintained, the staff are very polite and friendly. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable.

A watch out for elderly, it is a bath/shower, must get out at the end of the bath, there is a handrail behind on the wall but could be challenging where mobility is reduced. One of the days ordered spaghetti and prawns with garlic for lunch, they forgot about our order which was very delayed, the spaghetti was noodles. That was just a small incident. Otherwise everything was great and will hopefully return again!
The staff are fabulous, a special shout out to the staff on desk who always had a friendly smile. Location to beach (across the road) and airport (8mins) is perfect. Great for a girls get away. Great breakfast selection. Plenty of taxi availability to go into the main area (5 euro in taxi). Loved the hotel!

Lighting at evening buffet a bit bright and toiletries/shower caps not always replenished. Beds a little hard perhaps
Location and design of hotel fabulous. Junior suite was perfect as wanted separate sleeping areas and balcony area was private and large with great view over pools. Meal times were not too short - breakfast choice outstanding.

The only think we don’t like is having to queue up for fresh eggs or omelettes for breakfast, also the same in the evening for fresh meat or fish, for a five star hotel I think you should be able to order the fresh food at your table and it be brought to you, that is our only niggle
We have been many times to this hotel so that speaks volumes of what we think of it, great location on traffic free promenade, lovely hotel with well keep gardens and outside areas, the staff are absolutely lovely, the sun beds are plentiful and well spaced out, dining room is comfortable and tables well spaced also, would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Evening Buffet was good but I think the BBQ needs larger pieces of meat. I would like to see a large paella one of the nights. The entertainment was good but could go on until 11pm it stops at 10pm. I would like to see more of the double loungers as they are so comfortable but not enough of them.
We loved this hotel. The staff are so friendly and professional and very helpful. The Breakfast Buffet was excellent. The hotel has so many extra free classes such as pilates, yoga, water aerobics and much more. The spa was also gorgeous. The Interior design is very modern and immaculate. Everything is always perfectly clean. The pool is large, and the gardens absolutely manicured to perfection.
