Top Malibu Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"Beach"

Villa Graziadio Executive Center at Pepperdine University

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view on a renowned campus. Directions can be a little confusing once you get to the campus, but buried somewhere in various notes was the correct location to enter into Google maps. They do have links to the campus map on the actual website and hotels.com should link to those and the better directions."

Malibu Beach Paradise Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Right on the Malibu beach! Easy check-in process."

SA Beach by Stay Awhile Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at SA Beach #8. The location on Carbon Beach is hard to beat—the ocean views from the suite and private balcony are incredible, and having direct beach access made the entire stay feel special. We stayed for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was the perfect setting. Waking up to the Pacific, having breakfast overlooking the water, and being able to walk straight down to the beach made for a memorable morning. The suite was clean, comfortable, beautifully designed, and exactly as represented. The Stay Awhile team was also extremely responsive and accommodating, including helping us with early access, a late checkout, and other requests throughout the stay. Great property, great location, and excellent service. We would absolutely stay here again. 5/5."
