Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaBeds were a little hard for me and we had to pay for parking
Location was outstanding - across street to Santa Monica Beach and short distance to pier. Good jumping off point for going north along highway 1. Dogtown Coffee two blocks away for great coffee, and many good restaurants within walking distance. Room and bathroom were in great condition. Place was quiet. Courtyard was very pleasant.

United KingdomNeeded more coffee pods for waking up - really not a grumble but I do like 2 coffees before I leave for the day. That's really all I could think of for the "What didn't you like" section
Not much to not like - fabulous view from our room to the front. With a little table and chairs to enjoy the afternoon sun with a wine and cheese. Room good sized for 2 of us in very comfortable queen sized beds.. My friend and I slept so well. Reception staff were both very helpful, and friendly

United KingdomI was woken on the first night at 2.00am by staff moving large bins of laundry across the yard right outside our room. This was very noisy. Although the room and bathroom had been renovated, the furniture was hadn't and was very tired/ dated.
Very clean, bright room, which had recently been decorated and had a newly renovated bathroom and a very good shower. Although on the small side the bed was very comfortable. Location was excellent and the staff were very good.

CanadaI really can’t think of anything bad about the place. It’s not a 5 star palace, it was a very nice hotel.
Amazing location, steps from the beach, and a great view of the ocean from the hotel. Santa Monica peer was just a short walk. Lots of restaurants in the area. It’s a short bike ride or a cheap Uber to the busier Venice beach. Our room was nice and modern. Very nice bathroom and shower. Everything was spotlessly clean. Keurig and pods in the room. Cable tv. Extra pillows on the bed. Beach towels included. Ample closet space to unpack our things. Bike rentals available. Front desk man was very friendly and helpful. Gave us an early check-in, as we arrived on an early flight. Held our luggage for us when we were leaving on a late flight. The area around the hotel was nice. We felt safe there. And access to the rooms and parking was gated with a swipe of the hotel room key. We felt like it was very good value compared to other nice hotels in the area. And it was in the best part of LA, the west side near the beaches.

United States of AmericaI wouldn’t stay for like a week, it’s a little too small for that but that’s a personal opinion!
Perfect location, only a 10 minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier and 20 minutes to the promenade with all the shops!

LithuaniaI would say it is more like a motel than a hotel, it is very small, a few floors only, with the reception on the entrance and then the rooms which you can enter from outside.
We loved the location and the possibility to rent the bikes, size of the room was also good, with a bath in the bathroom

United KingdomSome outside stairs and no service for help to room. But I think they would help if you asked them. Santa Monica have a lot of homeless they need to get that sorted, you don’t fell as safe as you used too. We have been twice before.
Very close to beach and pier. The room was clean and had a good view of the sunset. Staff were very helpful. Also very quiet to say you are so in the busy area. Would recommend the Hotel it was excellent value.
