How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The bed had some metal border which you hit everytime you approach the bed and it makes some loud sounds. Also, we received a complaint from our neighbours from the first floor (we were on the 2nd) about being loud walking. Despite we were not loud at all I can assume that sound isolation is not that good. Also, usuals LA problem, people smoking cannabis everywhere so the whole hotel smelled .
Comfy bed, free parking, coffee machine in the room and unexpected free breakfast, which was not mentioned during booking. In general, we enjoyed our stay, location seemed safe, no homeless or weird people spotted.

Room had a broken lock. Coffee kept running out at breakfast and took too long to replenish. Breakfast room was small and sadly bins were overflowing and needed emptying more frequently. Bed was on a strange metal frame that was noisy.
The hotel gives good quick car access to Santa Monica, Venice Beach and the local beach at Manhatton. Parking was easy in the underground car park. Both breakfast and room fridge were provided although not advised so that was an unexpected bonus although coffee was scarce at breakfast. Staff at reception were helpful but not present all the time. Some restaurants very close by.

The base of the bed is metal and makes a really loud bang every time you approach the bed.
We've stayed here 3 times, the location is excellent! 10 mins from LAX, 5 mins to Manhattan Beach pier via car. The rooms are big and clean, newly renovated. Loads of free parking. Plenty of food options nearby. Light breakfast provided in the morning.

The beds
The location was great! Thy l it looks like they are in the process of renovating the hotel. Or room looked fairly new with new furniture. The bed though for comfort was not good. The mattresses were very springy and the bed frame was metal panels that were very loud when bumped into. The family room was very nice!

Renovation is happening, so there is some stuff on the parking. Beds are comfortable, but if you hit a metal bed foundation is makes noise for the whole floor. Crazy colored lights behind bed :)
A great option for one night (or even more) after a long flight. Grocery store and different restaurants are just steps from the hotel. Covered parking

The wifi was very slow and unreliable. In general, the hotel is a bit run-down, but all in all good for the price. The breakfast is very basic and does not look great.
The room was very large. The arrangement of the rooms around the pool was very nice as well. A complementary breakfast was included. Parking was free and easy.
