Top Malibu Hotel Reviews

The Surfrider Malibu

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Rooms were excellent, staff super kind and helpful. The rooftop bar/restaurant was amazing, we had dinner there every night. Very impressed"

Malibu Waterfront Gallery + Private Beach Access

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Malibu beach house over Labor Day weekend. The location truly couldn’t be better - right on the beach, with gorgeous ocean views and incredible sunsets. The home itself was lovely, comfortable and very well appointed. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves. The host was very responsive and check-in and check-out were very smooth."

Oceanfront Retreat on Sandy Carbon Beach - Dolphin

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right on the beach and midway between short walk to the pier and Nobu. If you want quiet, be prepared for loud surf, but this is exactly what we were looking for! Beautiful panoramic view, and cute ducks on the beach in the morning. We would definitely come back!"

Oceanfront Retreat with Multiple Balconies, Direct Beach Access & Sweeping Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful oceanfront home! The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and very quick to respond whenever we had a question, which made our stay that much more enjoyable.The oceanfront setting was absolutely amazing, and one of the unexpected highlights was getting to see dolphins and even sea otters right from the property! We definitely weren’t expecting that, and it made the experience even more memorable.We truly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the hospitality. We would happily stay here again and definitely recommend this home to others. Five stars!"

Newly renovated, December 2025! Ocean front, Amazing Ocean Views, with Spa

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 experience at this beautiful home. I can’t even express how wonderful this home is in words. There were 6 of us staying here and we fit very comfortably and Jeff was SO fast and responsive and was there to help us with everything. He is a rockstar!! I love that the home has everything you need. And if for any reason something isn’t there, Jeff can make it happen. He also graciously let us stay an additional night as there wasn’t someone booking after us and we were celebrating my bachelorette. We loved him. The water was warm and swimmable and we found so much beautiful seaglass :) …you basically have your own private beach. There’s no one else around (which I loved and wanted). My friends and I laid out on the deck(s) and spent some time in the jacuzzi too. It’s sooo relaxing!! I was also able to get a yoga session in because he had yoga mats!! That was SO nice :) Already planning my return. Thanks Jeff!!"
