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.).

United StatesFiltered location with parking available, this stated there was parking. When I arrived they stated all of the parking spaces were “sold out”. Had to park several blocks away in a paid parking garage.
Close to everything, within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and more.

United StatesParking was a bit of a pain but not a deal breaker. If you reserve your parking you can park on the forecourt but I believe the charge is $35? We didn't reserve (wasn't sure we'd have a car) and got sent to the municipal parking lot (very clean and brightly lit) a block away and only had to pay $8.
Perfect location and you cannot beat the price. Nice setting--the grounds of the hotel are very tranquil. Bed was super comfy.

United StatesNot enough parking and even if there was, everything was so tight. We had to find public parking 2 blocks down from the hotel and it was not fun trying to carry our stuff with an infant. Luckily we had our wagon to help load everything. The hallways upstairs toward the room felt super cramped and the room was tiny.
It was convenient since the hotel was down the street from Santa Monica Beach.

United StatesParking was very limited so by the time we checked in (around 5:30) there were no more spots so we had to park a few block away at a parking structure. The room was very hot and humid. There was only a window AC in one of the rooms and it didn’t really keep the suite cool enough.
The staff was very friendly and they provided free coffee and tea. The room was also very beautiful and clean.

CanadaI didnt like that I payed $400 for a room for 1 night and then they have the audacity to charge $25 for early check in. 4pm is the check in time, which is already the latest possible check in time.my room was ready at 11 am when I got there and they couldn’t let me in it unless I paid even more money. Rude. I just checked into a hotel today that didn’t charge for early check in so not everyone does that. It was basic like a motel. Old TVs with just cable so u can’t stream you devices or watch netflix. I’m from Canada so this room cost me over $500 for one night and it was basic!!
The location was awesome! We walked to the Santa Monica boarding in less than 10 minutes and we walked to Venice beach in 40 mins

United StatesI was freezing and wide awake as there weren't enough blankets in the room. Santa Monica is usually warm, but this was a cold snap. There was also a loud helicopter circling both nights I was there. Also there is not much parking so you have to go find parking out and about.
Location is great. It's also quite cute

United KingdomNothing really. The apartment was as described, the TV and Wi-Fi work great and if you take a laptop and HDMI cable with you, you can watch your own streaming channels. One or two items of furniture could do with an update, but nothing that spoils the stay.
The apartment was clean and spacious enough for our requirements, and a good base for the 5 minute walk to the beach, Santa Monica Pier, the ocean facing restaurants, and only a 10 minute further walk to the shopping areas and cheaper eating establishments for less formal dining. There's good Starbuck's 3 minute walk on the corner of Olympic and Main for breakfast bites and coffee. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating.

United StatesThe bathroom was aweful, so small you can't turn around. A/C was hanging from a small window beside the toilet, so you get to smack your head every time the toilet is needed. Shower tiles were original mustard color & busted up. It felt like the bates motel bathroom. Mattresses are lumpy & pillows should all be trashed. If someone invested a lil time and money, this could be a nice place. The location is great...
