Reviews of Cinqueterre Holidays

Amazing location, beautiful views, very romantic (especially the lit up terrace with the archways)

the location has a superb view, very welcoming, with many places where you can relax

it was not very clean

The location was excellent in that sence that it was near the railwaystation. Othetwise absolutely bad: nois Late in the evening and early in the morning, a bus stop right in front of the room. Hardly possible to sleep well. The floor of the room and the kitchen utilities were dirty.

Should be much cleaner. Should be mentioned about the noise.

View was nice, but I wouldn't call it worth it.

Bathroom door would not close. Check in was quite difficult and was much more complicated than the booking would have you believe. Be prepared to pay cash.

From the shared patio, which is not off a private patio, the view is great. Out of the windows of the unit, you look into trees and other building because the one bedroom unit seemed like an afterthought.

I get this town is built up, but you have to take the town elevator up to the second level of the town, so it’s very high into the village, this gives a great view, but a steep walk from town and would be difficult to lug your bags around and up to your space. I felt like the map misplaced the unit and misrepresented how far away it was from town. The advertisement on Booking.com shows many different rooms, not the room you are booking so it felt like false advertising. When they walked me to my room at checkin, I felt like I was staying in an old, dilapidated shed. It’s larger than a shed, as it was two rooms with three beds, but I am only 5’4” and you couldn’t be much taller than this to stay here, there was a room with a kitchen, but none of the electricity worked in that room and I had to crawl under an over grown tree to get to my door. The bathroom is also old and barely drains water in the shower: if two people were to shower it would flood the bedroom because the shower isn’t in a tub, it’s just a shower faucet that sprayed direct onto the bathroom floor. Additionally, I woke up all night to rodents running throughout the walls of the unit. There were holes in the walls as well, so I was scared their germs could come through or the rodents themselves could get in. Lastly, I thought the other review’s exaggerated the check in window, but they are very strict on this. I showed up at 8pm, 20:00, because that is when my train arrived without anyone to check me in. This feels very unreasonable and I would find a different company who is willing to accommodate you. The other two bedroom units looked a bit more updated from first glance as I walked by them, so perhaps the one bedroom units are just kept as back up.

Great view

Value not there.. very low ceilings and you’re in a box of a room.

Great location

Stayed in the private room. The room was very old, dirty, no AC , there were spiders, cobwebs and all sorts of other bugs in the room. The only decent thing was that the room had a fridge and a shower, and the view from the room was incredible.

Spacious and great view

A bit of a walk from the station

The view from the upper balcony was good as well as the connecting to the train station.

The staff, except the guy doing his summer job there, was not polite starting with the first message. Then the property is like a jungle and it was always a struggle to get to the garden hut, which we got as a room. The hut was not really clean, only half of the electricity in it worked and the ceiling was partially coming off. One reason for that are probably the rodents running in the ceiling right over our heads. As visible, they have also partially made there way through this ceiling.

The location of the house is very good. It is completely in nature. The hiking route to visit Manarola or to the top of the hill is just next to it. City centre of Riomaggiore is 10 mins by walk.

The room is not at all maintained atleast in which we stayed. We paid 250 euros for 2 nights but in room except a bed and fridge nothing else is useful. The room was kept unclean, the toilet was common and ok. The fan was there but no air in 30 degree temperature. I would recommend to stay in la spezia 5 mins from rio.

Location was excellent. Getting to and from is easy as well once you use the lift!

Shower was a bit old and broken, and lots of cobwebs all Over the place. There is no aircon also but a fan is provided.

Great place very beautiful area and view.

A bit small

The view

Owner was late. Then had to wait for the baggage man to show us where it was. Owner was very grumpy. Bathroom was not clean at all and the shower is barely usable.

the view of the ocean (train station side) and terrace garden was lovely.

The room was not where it was pinned on the map on booking.com and the check in was difficult as the property didn’t respond and was not in the office for office hours. They are cash only and will not hold your bags. The room was okay, no air conditioning and no mosquito net or screens so the room was pretty hot, but they did provide a little fan.

Staff were nice & helpful, bathroom was cleaned regularly. My room had an incredible view and terrace all to myself.

There were no kitchen facilities- only a tiny kettle an a mini fridge, but no cups or utensils supplied. Bathroom was separated from the room, not an issue but share with other guests. Definitely a great budget option if you want to stay in Cinque Terre.

Lovely garden courtyard (shared). Simple room. Helpful check in procedure (collect keys at easy location, guided to accommodation from there).
