description The present research focuses on service quality in tourism accommodation, measured using a combination of the Servqual model, which measures quality from the user's/turist¿s perspective, and the 5-gaps model, in an attempt to account for the discrepancy between client expectations and perceptions. The measurement allows us to infer a service quality shortfall given that expectations exceed perceptions. A quality shortfall was noted in both seasons. Moreover, differences in average Servqual scores were found to exist only among the user groups defined by their level of education and earnings.
