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 KingdomWe didn’t have enough kitchen equipment for all of us which made it difficult at meal times but the staff provided us with extra so was fine by day 2.
The hotel is in a fantastic location near a stunning beach. We had use of beach equipment and bikes which was fantastic, we rode to Venice beach all along the coast it was wonderful. Plenty of shops/bars and restaurants in walking distance and a bus stop outside which can take you further if needed for just $2 each.

United Arab EmiratesApartment was not very clean, dust on shelves and within the first few hours the toilet needed to be fixed. The kitchen appliances were old, we could not use pots or pans and there is no electric kettle.
Location was perfect, access to shops and restaurants plus beach area was great

United StatesParking pass was a bit expensive.
The location was excellent. Right across the street from a small market and a short walk to the beach. You can see the water from just outside. Parking was sufficient.

United StatesRooms are very modest -- hard to wrap your brain around the price of a basic beach hotel these days -- stained carpeting, just OK bathroom. Obviously you're paying for location, not facilities. Balcony over busy street.
Ocean view! Exceptional staff and loans of beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, bikes, even toys & basketballs. Staff said pool is heated year-round, definitely a nice feature.

United StatesOld, creeky, you can hear all the people on top floor, the cleaning staff were so loud in the morning and you can hear everything so I’m guessing very thin doors. Building is in need of a slight remodel it was on the older side when you look at the details but overall a decent place right by the beach.
I loved the location , the beach my decor, the bed was very comfy, nice shower, friendly staff.

United StatesThe room door didn’t lock really great from outside the room. It would have been nice to lock the deadbolt from outside. It was hard to get hot water from the sink.
The location was good, close to Roscans, and about a mile to Manhattan Beach pier area. Views from room to the beach were good and liked the small balcony. The shower and good hot water.

United StatesThe extremely low water pressure in the shower was the only thing that was bad about this place, and that you had to pay $25 a night to park your vehicle in their parking spots.
The location and proximity to the beach was amazing, the neighborhood felt safe and had little restaurants and a small market across the street. The voew was amazing!!!!

United StatesI think they should get the blinds of the plantation blinds fixed. There was only three and there should've been four to completely make it private so you can run around and not feel like somebody's watching you for that kind of money you wouldn't expect to see that.
I like that it was close to ponchos and dining facilities. I'm not happy that the blinds didn't all cover a private space and when you pay so much per night.

New ZealandMy room was quiet but a little too dark for me, the windows were not clean and not really enough natural light. I stayed 4 nights but felt a bit low with the room lacking enough natural light in that particular room.
All the staff including the cleaning staff were AMAZING. They all go out of their way to accommodate each and every guest with their needs. I read the reviews but until you experience how wonderful they are, it was so lovely to experience this myself. The pool was so clean and always access to clean pool towels and equipment. I asked so many questions and they were so helpful about the area.

In walking distance from the beach and 20 mins by taxi from the airport - we used it both after and before the transatlantic flights from LAX to have a good sleep and some rest.
