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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

NetherlandsThe overall experience is the best we have ever had. No the rooms aren't very fancy, but the staff goes above and beyond to give you the best time. Their friendliness together with all the extras, like the heated pool, the free snacks, the popsicle line, movie nights etc makes it the best experience ever! The kids didn't want to leave. Thank you SO much for everything!! We loved staying with you!

We’ve stayed at Magic Castle Inn a few times and always have a great experience! The staff is amazing — Darren and the front desk team were so kind, and the Kevin was fantastic. The rooms feel like one-bedroom apartments with full kitchens and comfy beds. They offer free snacks, drinks, and a complimentary breakfast, which is a big plus — especially for families. There are lots of perks for kids, too. And the location is perfect — close to all the top tourist attractions. Great service, great people, great place. We’ll definitely be back!

AustraliaThe staff were amazing and friendly. The perks of laundry, ice-cream, drinks, breakfast and ice blocks made the kids and parents very happy. The pool was fun and open 24/7 so the kids could enjoy it after a long day out sight seeing.

CanadaThe sketchy neighborhood is totally out of their control. The outside of the building is run down, which freaked me out when we pulled up. (Once you are inside the "hotel compound," it feels very safe and clean) They do charge for parking. The breakfast has no hot food, just toast and cereal. Also, carrying heavy bags up and down stairs sucks as there are no elevators. (The absolutely amazing man at the desk when we got there carried some of them for us, which was so kind) The pros FAR outweighed the cons, and the service and fun freebies made the stay so memorable. We are excited to come back to this hotel in the future.
Pros - the staff were all incredible! Seriously, I could not have asked for better customer service! My grown kids said that it was the best hotel ever because of the ice cream machine, pop machine, fancy coffee machine, and complementary snacks. My daughter was so impressed she had to buy a popcycle hotline t-shirt (which they sell at the front desk). The walk to hollywood Boulevard is about 5 minutes. There is a subway station about 8 minutes away on Hollywood Boulevard that you can take to Universal Studios (it is one stop away) We 100% will be back !

The customer service is amazing. From the second you arrive the staff are so friendly, attentive and committed to ensuring you are extremely well looked after. Early check in, complementary bfast and snacks, love the popsicle hotline, and they even did all our laundry and allowed us an 8pm late checkout. AMAZING!

Everything! Our family had a 5 night stay at the Magic Castle Hotel and felt like it was a home away from home! The staff are so down to pool is heated to a beautiful temp, complementary snacks, breakfast and laundry facilities. We had the most time and I’m so glad that we chose the Magic Castle Hotel to spend our last few nights of our trip.

AustraliaOur only concern was that we had limited information after we were evacuated due to the Runyon Canyon fire. We were able to get out of the hotel well, but in the confusion, we did not have to have any direction on where to evacuate. A tough situation for the hotel, but it was very stressful for visitors to LA who had nowhere to go. Management was exceptional in discussing our concerns and feedback when we were allowed to come back and could not have been more welcoming or helpful.
The staff were amazing! We loved the location and the facilities available to us. Our kids loved the snacks and ice cream machine. The parents loved the free laundry room! So very welcome after a long trip to be able to wash clothes when needed. The Magic Castle is the perfect spot to stay in LA.
