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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

This place absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had never stayed in shared accommodation before and loved the concept of semi private facilities and shared space; a great chance to connect with and meet others whilst maintaining your own privacy when needed. The vibe seems to attract cool, respectful people, and this was the ideal space for me to ‘live away from home’ whilst working, whilst also meeting new people. Location is ideal, right on the beach, and the William and David were so welcoming, always helpful and great chat! I’ve already recommended this space to friends and will be back soon when I am next visiting LA :) Charly x

CanadaStaff was soo Nice & wonderful. I love how the place is positioned in away where the living room is facing the back so you can watch the sunset & sunrise without leavin the Hostel. The place is at Vience Beach itself so it's was easy to go wonder around the beach and go back to, it's a 30min walk to Santa Monica is a plus. Lots of cafes, restaurants and gift shop around the area that are all walkin distance. One of the Best Hostels I've stayed in. Would come back & recommend

United StatesDear Stay Open, I am writing to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience I had at your establishment in Venice, California. The service provided by your staff was exceptional, and I would like to extend a special thanks to Camilla and David for their great service and positive energy. Your establishment is truly unique and offers a one-of-a-kind experience. The location is perfect, and the amenities provided are top-notch. I especially enjoyed the private, ventilated pods, secure lockers and drawers, shared bathrooms, kitchen access, co-working stations, and rooftop patio. The beach cruisers, beach towels, and chairs were also a nice touch. Thank you again for the wonderful experience. I look forward to visiting again soon. Sincerely, J. Harris

United KingdomI liked everything
I loved this place, really felt like home. You’re basically on the beach, with the best view of sunset/sunrise from Stay Open terrace. Clean, quiet, really chill vibe and spacious. Extremely equipped kitchen with everything you need. The pods are very private, I couldn’t hear any noise while sleeping (the broadwalk is very quiet at night) The team was amazing, Camilla, Alina and Dave were fantastic hosts, and all the other guests were super nice and friendly. I honestly can’t find anything negative about my stay. I can’t wait to go back!
