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.).

United KingdomThought the parking and resort fee over the top but that's the way they charge in the US so not surprised. Not sure I would classify the hotel a resort but maybe a pool is all that is needed to meet this classification.
The hotels was everything we expected, location superb, decor great, restaurant and bar buzzy and staff very helpful. A special thumbs up for Neyda. Nice touches too with a welcome drink and a voucher everyday towards bar or food.

AustraliaThe hotel also hosts events so there was a wedding during Sunday afternoon/evening (til 9pm) right outside my door, and a party on Saturday night. It wasn’t terrible but if you want a quiet stay, it might not be for you. Lightning was mostly fluorescent too which killed the ambience. And decor a little dated.
Great location, very friendly staff, good restaurant and food, room was very spacious

ItalyOur room was located on the ground floor right on the street, it was impossible for us to open the window. There was some renovation going on right next to our room. The noises were loud already in the early hours of the morning and the workers were shouting among themselves without any of the staff saying anything.
Position is excellent, right in the centre of Manhattan Beach very close to the strand. Room are renovated. Restaurants e bar just at the basement of the hotel.

ItalyIt is very expensive considering the prices in the area for other hotels. The pool is not really a pool, it is similar to a large hot tub. Some of the areas of the hotel are used for storage and it could be hidden a bit better considering the expenses.
The hotel is in an excellent location in the center of the pedestrian zone of downtown Manhattan Beach. The staff is amazing and they said yes to every request with a smile. I had one of the new remodeled rooms and it has been redone with a ton of style so ask for one of those rooms if possible.
