Loveholidays Reveals Irish Holidaymakers' Most Loved Hotels of 2026

Loveholidays has released its 2026 list of Most Loved hotels, based on more than 280,000 verified customer reviews from around the world, including 43,000 from Irish holidaymakers who travelled over the past 12 months.

The online travel agent asked customers to rate hotels out of five for their overall experience, considering elements such as food and drink, facilities, cleanliness, staff, location and value for money.

Those that scored an average rating of 4.3 or above made the list, which is now in its second year, giving holidaymakers an additional layer of confidence when booking their trips.

Over 1,400 hotels from 45 destinations have been recognised, a 35% increase since last year, and more than half (55%) have retained their Most Loved status for the second year.

Leading the top 10 for Irish holidaymakers is Aquashow Park Hotel, Portugal with an almost perfect rating of 4.96 out of 5, followed closely by the Sahara Sunset Hotel in Spain and the Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Cracow in Poland.

While plenty of five-star luxury hotels achieved Most Loved status, more than a quarter (25%) of hotels are rated three stars or below. Among Irish holidaymakers, the top 10 includes a selection of hotels rated two or three stars.

Clem Walshe

Clem Walshe, Commercial Director for Ireland at loveholidays, said: "This list belongs to our customers. Every hotel on it has been chosen by Irish holidaymakers who stayed there, had a brilliant time and wanted others to know about it.

“It’s great to see so many familiar names back on the list this year, with more than half earning their spot for a second year running. That tells you these hotels aren’t just good once; they’re getting it right for guests time and time again.

"The list also proves that you don't need to splash out on five-star luxury to have a fantastic holiday, with a quarter of this year's winners rated three stars or below.”
