"The staff was friendly and it easy to move in even for one day. It feels a little cramp for the bathroom and shower space. It feels nice to know that my belongings would be fine and untouched when I leave it at my pod. It might be because of the weather at the time but it felt quite humid and but sure if we can request a fan to cool down but besides all that, it wasn't too bad. The sink does have a lot of dirty dishes. I had a good experience for my first time at a hostel as a solo traveler."

"This place is amazing! All around good vibes, so don't believe any of the bad reviews you see on this place. I was the one who had a little bit too much to drink that night and unfortunately I thought I was already in my long-term Airbnb. I was blocked out drunk and I walked around naked when I wasn't supposed to. I take full responsib."

Top Malibu Hotel Reviews

Villa Graziadio Executive Center at Pepperdine University

Villa Graziadio Executive Center at Pepperdine University

10/10 Excellent
"Finding the property was our biggest challenge. The directions were a bit confusing, and there wasn't a contact number provided, so we had to search online to call for assistance. Once we reached the staff, we learned the property is located at Heroes Garden on top of the hill. We ended up driving around the beautiful campus while looking for it, which turned into a nice sightseeing experience. Parking is free but limited, so I recommend ride-sharing or carpooling, especially for larger groups. The staff truly made our stay memorable. Everyone was warm, friendly, and professional. Special thanks to Sherry at the front desk for her helpful recommendations and local tips. The onsite housekeeper was also kind, patient, and happy to answer all of our questions. Please note that this property is designed for peace and relaxation rather than resort-style amenities. There is no pool, spa, gym, café, or restaurant on site. However, DoorDash is available, making it easy to enjoy meals from excellent local restaurants without reservations or long waits. The room was beautifully maintained, and the views were breathtaking. We loved overlooking the lush green landscape, the Pacific Ocean, and the beautiful blue sky. The peaceful garden and infinity-style water feature overlooking the ocean were especially relaxing at the Heroes Garden. Hearing only birds and crickets made it feel like a true escape. We felt like we had found our second home and will definitely be back!"
