Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Germany- mattress is a little bit too soft, but still ok for me - bathtub has been clogged before we checked in, which is really annoying and inconvenient.
-Perfect location, 5 minutes drive to Japan Town, 8 minutes drive to the Getty museum,less than 15 minutes drive to Santa Monica and about 10 minutes to Beverly Hills. You can get all what you need nearby, especially fresh Asian foods from the Japanese grocery. -Free parking directly outside the apartment, safe and easy for those who have a car -Laundry available in the property (with fee) -Large and fully equipped kitchen, ideal for cooking meals -nice and helpful staff as host

AustraliaThere was a really strong smell of Marijuana every day in the room, that didn't leave even when airing the property. What I didn't realise when booking was that they didn't own the actual complex but just rent out a single room in the building. Therefore, when I arrived I had to wait in the rain for someone to come and let me in, and they didn't have anywhere to store baggage after check out, etc.
Staff were friendly, great location in LA with lots of restaurants nearby. The pool looked nice (although it was too cold for me to use in Winter) and there was a small but usable gym.

United States of AmericaIt could have used a handicap-equipped bathroom. The addition of some grab bars in the shower, and a raised toilet, would not cost much money, and would make the place even more inviting to potential guests, and open up the range of potential customers.
The rooms were neat and clean. Although it was not "home" it felt like home.

United States of AmericaThere was a funky smell, almost mildew like during our stay. Although we tried to air it out, it was a smell that lingered for days. I would say in one of the bathrooms there was a moisture smell. Great value for the four nights but we didn’t have extra toilet paper and there weren’t enough towels for our family of 5. One thing I didn’t appreciate about the property, although patrolled by security in the evenings, I didn’t like how security shined their light through the living room area as we were watching tv in the late evening as a family and my husband went to see why he was doing it and he said, “could we turn down the tv?” Very peculiar and unsettling. We just closed the sliding door and blinds.
Great central location in Santa Monica, close to the beach! Close to all shopping areas and grocery stores. We loved that the apartment was right in front of the pool, the patio gate opens to the pool, kids loved it.

The apartment was big and clean will a very nice pool view. The bed was very comfortable and huge, there was everything we needed even the access to the laundry that we only paid something like two dollars.

United States of AmericaBeds were uncomfortable- hard mattresses, flat pillows, sheets appeared to be polyester microfiber. No a/c or fan in one bedroom and no way to secure the window in a partially open position.
Quiet (unless someone was walking upstairs), clean, secure apartment in a convenient location. I appreciated parking in a gated lot.

IndonesiaThe unit wasn’t quite ready when we got there at almost 5PM. Pillows are so horribly soft and flat but the biggest bummer was due to some gas connection issue the stove wasn’t working during the whole 3 nights we were staying there.
Great location, the unit is clean. nice responsive owner and staff.

United States of AmericaThere were just a few things, such as loose door knob, and paint peeling, that brought the "executive" experience down a notch. I contacted the renters and let them know, and they responded quickly about fixing the four small issues.
The apartment is really big, and very well equipped. Two big bedrooms, both with ensuite toilet, sink and bath/shower. There is a patio off the main room, and that leads directly to the pool which is steps away. If you're doing anything in West LA this is a really good location. The apartment came with a parking place, which was very nice to have.

United States of AmericaSo much could have gone better with this rental, and there's not enough room in this form to offer all the details. In summary: - Check-in process was sketchy and extremely uncoordinated; the host uses a 3rd party that didnt seem to know what direction was up most of the time. We ended up waiting in the street for 30min before we could enter the property. Had to watch a video in order to get gate code. - The place was somewhat dirty/heavily dusty, smelly (ammonia at first from cleaning, subsequently replaced by constant lingering marijuana odor), and dated. - Mechanical issues galore - bathtub was severely clogged on arrival, door handles falling off (bedroom & bathroom), carpet so flat/worn your feet get poked by the spikes in the transition strip to the hallway - Heavily overworn pillows, bed, linens, towels, pullout couch, etc. - No luggage stands - paranoid about bedbugs entire stay (none found, thankfully) Owners noted that the suite is primary used by corporate long-term renters (E.g. relocations, etc), and they fill in the gaps with short term rentals. Perhaps fine if you're a solo traveler, but not ideal for a family of 4.
Location was great! The place was situated on a quiet side street away from main road traffic. Relatively easy to get car service. The owners stopped by to address an issue with the plumbing and they were very pleasant to talk to and offered some great options for restaurants to try.
