Perfect in every way
Was everything we could have dreamed for. Quiet, clean, aesthetic, amazing views, and incredible staff.
Gillian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel and location
Fantastic couple of nights stay. The hotel has been skillfully designed and has that home away from home feel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. Be prepared to pay top dollar for cocktails, when combined with the views from the rooftop terrace (for hotel guests only), worth it. Only downside was the noise from the PCH (right in front of the property) but there isn't much the hotel can do about that!

What a surprise this hotel was. Such a gem in Maibu .they give you a super cool car/ surf boards / wet suits . Staff were amazing - so friendly but not over the top so you feel like you’re staying in your own little place. Amazing attention to detail. Coifee brought to your room in the morning. Beautiful roof terrace with an amazing vibe and view. Would love to come back amd surf for a week!

Clean, modern well appointed rooms and very friendly staff with a fun rooftop restaurant. However the room is far too small for the price.

Such a cute hotel that really paid attention to the little details! We really enjoyed our short time there. The rooftop area is awesome and a great place to get a drink, good food and great view of the ocean and pier. The location is walkable to about everything core to Malibu (Nobu, the pier).

10/10 Exceptional

Surfrider is a quaint, boutique hotel in beautiful Malibu. We stayed here while visiting Pepperdine University nearby and had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the beach house vibe was exactly as advertised. My only feedback to keep in mind for future guests is that it is not quiet (PCH is very noisy) and it is VERY difficult to get a ride-share (Uber or Lyft). If you have to get somewhere on time, just take into account that an Uber may take a long time and there's no guarantee that there will be one at all. Will definitely be back!!
