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...).

CanadaHonestly can't say much about what can be improved...staff were friendly, rooms and facilities were clean. Everything was great.
It is an excellent location - walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The heated pool and gym were great. The complementary cruiser bikes and yoga on the beach was such a nice perk!

United KingdomThere was industrial action on one of the nights that we were at the hotel where staff were requesting to be paid for contracts and trumpeting noise with loud speakers. There were also lots of security guards on the property - clearly due to a security concern There were also homeless people and people with psychological issues that were walking the streets around the area and on the walk to the beach.
Room was clean Bathroom was too small for four people.

United KingdomWhen I checked in they tried to downgrade my room - I’d booked a deluxe king and they sent me to a tiny room on a high floor next to the lifts with no bath. I realised it didn’t fit the spec I’d paid for and asked to move. They just said it was a refurbed room and didn’t apologise, I had to make sure I was given the correct room specification. They didn’t argue back though so the move was relatively easy once I spoke up. I’ve uploaded photos of the difference in room type for reference. It’s also not the most soundproof - I could hear the conversation of the guests in the room next to me.
Beds were comfy and staff were mostly super polite and friendly. Room service was very quick, quality of food was ok. Lobby is nice, and they offer champagne (which I didn’t have but is a nice feature).

United States of AmericaThe bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable. Also, very surprised to find no coffee or tea making in the room. No toiletries, no slippers. Very basic for a 4* hotel.

United States of AmericaElevator line was very long. During our entire stay, the elevator lines were long, i.e. 5+ minutes. The lines at the check-in desk we equally long, while the lobby was very noisy and overall did not provide that warm and fuzzy feeling you expect when travelling and wanting to relax at a hotel. Given the price of the rooms, the price/value ration is rather low unfortunately.
Great location.

United States of AmericaIt's an old facility, and that age shows in the hallways and the rooms. I don't think they should charge as much as they do, especially compared to some of the other hotels in the area that have spectacular views of the ocean etc. My family, however thought it was great. I'm pickier about design, and like to have a lot of natural light in my room.
The location is about a 10 minute walk from the Santa Monica beach and pier and Palisades Park. So much to walk to and enjoy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Meals were excellent and fairly priced. The lobby and pool area is pleasant. The room was comfortable and clean with decent bedding.

United States of AmericaOnly ONE elevator the entire week we stayed. This should have been a priority. Costly Valet parking. Is there a discount or rewards for returning guest?
Hotel Staff was Exceptional!!! DARIUS at the Front Desk was UNMATCHED in customer care. His expert advice and details made the stay exceptional alone and builds great credibility in making Le Meridian a "world-class" Marriott facility. Also, HUGO, Concierge is likewise a true professional, excellent customer care. He remembered me from my first stay, 1 year ago. All in person dining Staff were exceptional and beyond compare. As a Retired Sr. Military Officer, 30 years, who has stayed worldwide, the experience was exceptional and heading in the right trajectory. It is on my radar to return.

SingaporeWas charged for 2 nights' parking when I didn't bring a car at all. I brought it to the attention of the staff while checking out and they assured me it'll be refunded. Haven't heard from the hotel yet about it even though it's been 1.5 months! We were also not given a tax exemption for another room I had booked for my extended family even though my cousin is entitled to it and gets it everywhere in the US, including hotels, restaurants, cafes etc. He was promised that'll be done at the time of checking in but we were subsequently denied. That's really disappointing...
Room was nice and spacious, but with no view. And it faced a construction site. Location was so-so. Breakfast (which I paid for) was decent.

United States of AmericaThe plumbing needs work--my toilet was clogged before I got there and I had to call Engineering twice to come and unclog it. The cable channel selection was very limited; worse, the cable wiring certainly needs to be redone because the quality of reception was very poor. Also, the in-hotel restaurant's menu was very limited.
The staff were stellar--everyone was quite accommodating and a pleasure to deal with.
