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...).

BrazilThe walls are thin as paper, you can listen to everything from the rooms around yours. If you stay on the 4th floor, you have the chance to not listen to people walking above you.
I loved the rooftop and the view to the beach. The room was big and very comfortable. It was also very clean.

United StatesThe parking accessibility. They told us there would be plenty of parking along the main Ave. but that wasn't the case. We found paid underground parking close by for $30/night (note that you can not do overnight parking at the Public Beach parking lots that are close by). Their $20/night off-site parking seems to be quite a walk, and we also felt during check-in that they were encouraging us to find another option. Another minor detail if you are a sensitive sleeper, is that the pillows could use upgrading (they were very lumpy and high).
We enjoyed our stay at Venice Suites. Great location next to the boardwalk. Within walking distance of nice restaurants and shops

TurkeyThe sound insulation is very poor. We could hear all the noises from the people on the lower and upper floors. The sounds of people passing by outside could be heard throughout the night. Homeless individuals and musicians create noise outside until the morning. If you are traveling with children or infants, or if you are sensitive to noise, this may not be the right place for you.
The location is very beautiful. The view and the terrace are wonderful. The staff is polite and helpful.

United StatesThe location is, of course, perfect. Mr. Paul at the reception was incredibly kind and helpful, greeting us warmly and patiently answering all our questions. All the hotel staff we interacted with were super nice and accommodating. The hotel provides beach towels and even some beach toys for the kids, which we borrowed and found very convenient. The rooftop is amazing, having a BBQ there for 8 people was one of the highlights of our trip, offering stunning views. The laundry facilities (a washing machine and dryer) are very useful, but be sure to bring plenty of quarters and your own detergent. Parking next to the hotel is very convenient, and the attendants are extra nice, they even offer a discount for multiple-night stays. However, you might find cheaper parking nearby. We visited in December, and while the hotel has no air conditioning, we can't comment on how comfortable it might be during the summer months. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend the hotel for its fantastic staff, location, and amenities.

CanadaNot much really. For a stay right on the beach in LA, it felt worth the price.
Amazing location and rooftop terrasse! Simple, clean, helpful staff, super comfy bed, kitchenette was sufficient for us (we mainly used for breakfast and coffee). There is no AC, so kept at least one window open…. A bit of street noise, but nothing that disturbed us nor kept us up at night.
