Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IrelandNothing really - The Garland is a wonderful hotel.
Wonderful hotel - an oasis of beauty & calm ❤️ The Garland is a lovely place to stay in Nth Hollywood, LA. It is so family friendly, clean & comfortable - everything you could need in a hotel. The staff are all so warm, friendly, helpful & kind. Wonderful restaurant & bar servicing great food & drinks - we loved eating by the pool. The pool area was wonderful - we spent 2 full days there - the kids adored it! The nightly family film by the pool is a wonderful idea ✨ Having a laundry room on site with complimentary laundry detergent is fantastic & we used it - $3 per wash & $3 for dry. The small shop on site is also wonderful. The hotel also has a nice shuttle to Universal Studios & City Walk on the hour from 8am to 10pm

The convenience of the trolley. The "vibe" of the hotel. Kids really liked the pool with the movie in the evenings.

United KingdomThe price for parking at the hotel daily is a bit steep for the hotel guests and maybe should be lowered to those staying at the hotel. It gets very busy at the hotel as outsiders come and eat at the restaurant throughout the day.
The location of the property is good for getting around, Universal Studios is literally at the back of the hotel and could walk there. Not far from Mulholland drive and Beverley hills and hollywood area. It is in a great location.

United StatesThe rooms were outdated. It’s definitely not all about looks but the inside of the room and the hallways were actually pretty ugly looking. I also believe my room was haunted but I made it out okay obviously!
The room was clean, the housekeeping was reliable and they made sure you had a bed made and clean towels each time they entered the room. The pool was clean and well kept, they offered food and drinks at the bar right across from the pool. Each lounge chair always had a clean towel on it. The hot tub was a good temperature. I would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomNothing we had such a nice stay!!!
We had the most amazing stay at the Garland! As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a very warm welcome and shown to our room which was really nice, it had plenty of space and had all the things we could need in it. The bathroom was really nice, and little things like having ample space to store luggage and clothes and having a TV in the room with all the things we could want to watch was great. We used the gym most mornings which was very clean and the equipment is great and we had access to sweat towels and earphones which was so nice. The pool area is really nice and the hot tub was nice to relax in. They also have movies playing in the evening. We used the shuttle tram a lot to get to Universal City which was so frequent and easy to use and kept us feeling safe. We also got Ubers which had great space to collect and drop us off. The food that we ordered was really nice and the Front Yard restaurant was really good. Our room was cleaned very efficiently and there was great access to water an ice on each floor. We really had a great and memorable time here.

GermanyRelaxing hotel which makes you feel on holiday. There is a patio where you can grab a bite with live music. I didn't have time to enjoy the pool but it looked very clean. The personnel were extremely nice and they offered me a late check out till 1 pm which was perfect. They have a free shuttle that takes you to Universal and the metro station.
