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.).

No ice machine, No shower outside to rinse off sand before entering the hotel, there was no entry allowed from the beach boardwalk entrance.

Verified reviewLocation on the beach! Room 10 had the wall of windows to see and hear the water and cool breeze! Never needed the AC. Loved the patio and rooftop to have take-out and take in the sunset.
Some people walking and talking noise at night usually stopped by midnight.

Verified reviewBe sure to pre reserve parking. I wished there had been a coffe pot but Starbucks was 500 feet away. The staff was REALLY nice and helpful. Location was so perfect. Big patio with a fire pit and rooftop area. The building is older so when the 2 am bar crowd came home it was very noisy. But it was reasonably priced for the fantastic location.
The bathroom shelf was broken which could have been an easy fix. Hardly worth mentioning really.
We appreciate the feedback. Best regards and safe travels!

Verified reviewThis is the best and perhaps only hotel on the beach at Marina del Rey. The tables up top were fabulous for watching the sunset. The patio was wonderful for enjoying the breeze and people watching. Enjoyed the front desk persons. Very accommodating. The room was clean.
Our room was across from the front desk, so of course, there was some noise. There is no coffee or hot cups for coffee. The outdoor bathroom we used prior to checking in needed cleaning. We did not like our bags in the cleaning closet. They need a room for guest luggage and a clean bathroom for guests awaiting check in and departure. The rooms are very small, but very clean!
We appreciate the feedback. Thanks for staying with us! Safe travels!

Verified reviewLocation right on Venice beach behind the walkway and within walking distance to Santa Monica Pier. Lovely spot to watch the sunset away from the crowds on top of the roof.
Small bedroom and bathroom with a dribble of shower pressure, no amenities given. A/C did not work and it was over 30 degrees so extremely hot! Expensive for what you get but you are paying for the location I guess.

Verified reviewThe view, especially if you have an ocean view room is exceptional, but it can also be enjoyed from the deck found on top of the hotel. The daytime receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The fact that they offer reserved parking right in front of the hotel is also a plus.
The gate to the beach keeps slamming and making a loud metallic sound every time somebody exits, especially annoying early in the morning or late at night.

Verified reviewLocation was good
Toilet looked very dirty, looked ugly. When I complained to the front desk staff, he said it is not dirty, it is stain and it is known. When I asked to provide a new room then he said there is no room available. How can hotel put someone in a room with a toilet which has stain after charging so much for the rooom. It was a terrible experience. They should refund my money.

Verified reviewGood location and staff allowed us to keep our bags at the property after check out which was helpful.
Very small rooms and just felt run down. A double room was not comfortable for 4 people would need something bigger if staying for longer than a night
