Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Very cosy, quiet hours are kept to so it is not hard to sleep. Staff and other residents kind, friendly and considerate

AustraliaOne shower and toilet and no door on the pods. Anywhere, I’ve traveled and stayed in pods they had doors for privacy. Also, lady in the office didn’t do what she said she would do on two separate occasions which caused me some stress. I called the office to pass on the message to wash clothes for me. This never happened until I returned to the accommodation and asked myself. Manager at location said he never got the message. The same officer lady said was also meant to bring me a phone charger I left in Hollywood out to Venice Beach. She promised me she would and she forgot. I called her three times and she confirmed every time that she would bring it. I told her it was no hassle for me to get a taxi and collect it. I just don’t want to be late for my flight. She didn’t bring it. I ended up being late for my flight as I got a taxi last minute when I found out she had forgotten. This was poor and untrustworthy.
Good location people at the place were friendly facilities were adequate.

MexicoBeing told that giving my email address is required to stay there. So, I guess people who don't use technology are not welcome here? Some people just do not want marketing emails. Apparently, they are also not welcome here? Seems like a terrible policy for a business to have.
Location. Super central to everything.

United StatesI’m a Senior woman relocating from Hollywood, it was FULL of men. Thought I was in a Frat house. Unless I asked a question, Maddie, the admin, never spoke to me, even when I greeted her. I remember being a young lady and chatting with young men. It was an important “service”. I was definitely a tenant, not a guest.
Breakfast?? The pod was comfy & private. I liked that. Got a lot done with your wifi.

United KingdomLocation is unsafe, only one bathroom for whole hostel (about 9 beds). Two of the beds are more like pods (much smaller in size with only enough room to sleep, but at same cost which seems unfair.
Off the Hollywood Boulevard, but area felt quite unsafe at night as it’s slightly away from the busier bit (Chinese theatre, Dolby theatre)
