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...).

United KingdomGood location for exploring the city in all directions. Some great places to eat and supermarkets within walking distance, safe neighbourhood. Great for those looking for somewhere quiet (which suited us) - noise rules (which apply in the evening and early morning) should be noted - they may not suit everyone.

CanadaWe love to walk, and while the beach is 15 min. away, going to the Pier and central Santa Monica took 30 min making it bit too far if you needed to return during the day.
Our family of six stayed for 5 wonderful nights. KK, the host, is very attentive and friendly. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are big, the location quite central and close to amenities. The highway is easily accessible and the free parking a must. I strongly recommend this suite as your « home base » for your stay in LA.

United States of AmericaNot being able to walk to the Santa Monica Beach a bit too far. Had to take auto and self park which was expensive what a rip as we wanted to Beach hangout for 1 full day.
Our hosts were very nice and helped us alot as we were very tired when we checked in and they handed us the keys so we could go in immediately and rest after traveling 400miles.

United States of AmericaSuper quiet neighborhood which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not allowed to access patio area after 10pm or before 9 am (we like our evening drinks and morning coffee outside, so that was a bit disappointing, given it's a nice space). Downstairs "beds" (futons not pullouts) weren't the most comfortable.
Perfect location with easy access to all attractions! Clean and looked just like pictures. Walkable to local restaurants and grocery stores! Plenty of space to spread out with a family.

United States of AmericaHonestly, everything was fine! I think a bigger (and non-glass) dining table would be a better fit for the 6-8 people, or a big family, that this pace can accommodate bed-wise, but it's just a small suggestion.
Super location, quiet and away from downtown Santa Monica, but still just a short bus or taxi ride to the beach. Great communication. No issues whatsoever.
