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 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):
- 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.).

Hidden fees not mentioned in the app. Parking fee and pet fee. Deposit fee. The swimming pool was closed.
Dear Carlos, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found our location convenient to Universal Studios.

Verified reviewAppeared to be clean, and was in a good location. Asked for a to floor room and they were able to accommodate my request.
The room stunk, there was barely room to open 3 peoplea suitcases, so the double queen rooms are on the small side. The pool was closed due to water issues so couldn't even use it. The price was steep for what you got.
Dear Kristen, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad we could honor your request for a top floor room and that you found the location convenient. However, we’re sorry to hear that other aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Our double queen rooms are standard size for the area, but we understand space can feel limited when accommodating multiple suitcases. We also regret that the pool was temporarily closed due to your visit. We appreciate your comments and will use them to continue improving our guest experience. Sincerely, Hotel Management

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a great location for people going to a Price is Right taping. We had stayed there before on several occasions and it was fine.
The room smelled like someone had been smoking in it for days (this is a non-smoking hotel). It wasn't bad when we went in, but then we turned on the a/c afte we had settled in. It was almost unbearable. Then I made the mistake of putting my head on the pillow. Arrgg All the bedding was permeated with the smell. So we're the towels in the bathroom. Next morning, my clothes and everything in my suitcase smelled just as bad. We were only staying at this place for about 9 hours otherwise I would have packed up and gotten another room. To make matters worse, the bed frame on the bed was broken and made this horrible 'groaning' sound every time someone moved. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep.
Dear Susan, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a returning guest with us. While we’re glad you appreciated our location and overall value, we are very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your most recent stay. We are a 100% non-smoking hotel, and we take reports like this very seriously. Had we been informed during your stay, we would have immediately moved you to another room and addressed the matter on the spot. Please be assured that we have already taken corrective action with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to prevent this from happening again, including inspecting the room thoroughly and repairing the bed frame. We truly value your past stays with us and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the comfortable and clean experience you expect and deserve. Sincerely, Hotel Management

Verified reviewHonestly, the only thing that drew us to this hotel was its location. It was very close to where we needed to be very early in the morning. The Hotel was average, nothing notable except that there were no ice machines to keep drinks and snacks cold for the ride home.
I was unable to locate any ice machines to fill a small cooler for drinks and snacks. Also, there are no coffee shops or quick dinners like Denny's or Chili's close by. If you checked in late and were hungry, you are out of luck.
Dear Stone, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad our location was convenient for your needs, and we’d like to clarify a couple of points for future visits. We do have an ice machine available at the front desk, and our team is available 24/7 to assist with that or anything else you may need. As for dining options, we are located in the heart of Glendale within walking distance you’ll find a variety of restaurants such as Shake Shack, In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A, and a full food court at the Glendale Galleria, just about 5 minutes away. Coffee lovers can also enjoy nearby options like Peet’s Coffee and Starbucks. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to have the chance to welcome you again for a more enjoyable experience.

Verified reviewThere was no breakfast included. The location was ok.
I had to ask for a luggage cart, and ice because they were kept in the back of the office. The ice machine should be available to all of the customers at all times. The room we were given smelled like cigarettes we notified the attendant at the office she came in and sprayed the room with air freshener.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few things. As noted on our listings, we have not offered breakfast service since 2020. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Regarding the luggage cart and ice, they are located at the front desk so our team can ensure availability and assist guests as needed. Our front desk is open 24/7 and always ready to help with anything you may need. We’re also sorry to hear about the smell in your room. While our team responded right away with air freshener, we understand this may not have been a perfect solution. Guest comfort is very important to us, and your feedback will help us continue to improve. Thank you again for staying with us we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

Dear Marilyn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations.

Rooms are tiny and a little loud between walls. Our bed frame was a bit broken, but still comfortable. The pool is in the parking lot.. not much privacy. Smaller than we thought it would be as well.
