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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

EstoniaNothing to complain about.
A small and homely boutique hotel is a dream home for those who cherish silence, private service, friendly attitude and a feeling of being welcome. Cannot add enough appreciating words. This was a top experience!

United KingdomThe staff were all very helpful and friendly. Our room was spot on - clean, spacious and perfect for what we needed. We loved the location - close to the lake, the centre, the tramline, and with a couple of supermarkets close by. The roof terrace was a great bonus. Breakfasts were delicious and, particulary for the 2 of us who are vegan, offered plenty of choice. We also made use of the self catering facilities, which were great. We loved the extra touches too - free water and apples, welcome icecreams, and free coffee throughout the day. If we do come back to Zurich, without a doubt we will stay at Alma.

United KingdomOnly nitpicking... But the price although competitive was expensive but hey... That's Zurich and Switzerland!
Everything was really good. The staff were lovely and the rooms were excellent. Breakfast was fantastic and the garden offered a space to chill in the shade and the rooftop to relax in the sun. Not much more you could ask for.

BulgariaThe location is amazing, a minute away from the lake and in the quiet part of the city center. The lady on the front desk was super friendly. We were there in the middle of the summer heatwave and we were offered refreshments, ice cream, she was even ready to try to find us some swimsuits so we can go swiming in the lake!

GermanyAlma Hotel was a fabulous hotel with lovely old rooms with ,modern twist only 15 mins walk from old town. A perfect hotel near the lake with a ladies only wellness and yoga area. They even had a guest kitchen where you could store food in the fridge and prepare meals or snacks. Quite eco friendly with an honesty bar for drinks in reception and 24hr coffee machine in the restaurant. The only downside is that after my massage there isn’t a changing room or shower to use so when on the day of check out to get a massage it’s awkward. Apart from that tiny issue I would highly recommend this hotel in Zurich. Also a roof top terrace that would be fabulous in good weather!

AustraliaThere was no conditioner in the room, and our room stank of paint, so much so it gave me a headache.
Beautiful location, loved the terrace, perfect place to have a coffee or a drink. The room was spacious and had a little balcony that looked down the road towards the lake. Close to the tram stops and a 30 minute walk into down along the lake. Very convenient.

ItalyThe hotel needs to improve from different angles: - reception 24h for the guest needs after 22pm - breakfast selection - only vegan/vegetarian option, it’s better to have also just for request the meat or others selection. If necessary have only vegan/vegetarian selection to give the guest more option like fruit salad, cakes, savory cakes, pancakes & muffin. - the floor makes creak noises on the 4th floor. - we can’t manage the temperature in our room.
The location of the hotel is central and is right in the heart of the city, you can find shops, supermarkets and pharmacies, and the attractions are within walking distance both on foot and by public transport. the rooms are equipped with everything you need, you also have access to a kitchen without a stove which is not essential for your stay as you have a fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor where you can cook. You also have a bar with which you can prepare coffee, cappuccino and hot tea during your stay. There is no minibar but it is not that important as the hotel has a bar area where you have everything you need from snacks to drinks. clean and welcoming hotel, modern and comfortable details. excellent staff ready to help you with a smile, especially the girl who welcomed us in the afternoon during our arrival, who provided us with all the information we needed. Excellent breakfast with quality products, perhaps little choice. maybe I would give the opportunity to eat meat too. Or I would increase the products with other vegan or vegetarian choices. We loved the green, ecological choice and above all the innovation of the hotel, modern, comfortable and functional. during your stay you can ask for a massage, although it seems to me that it was only for women. There is also a terrace on the top floor

United StatesWe could not stay to enjoy breakfast.
Location: only a block from the lake, and a short walk to the historic district on the river. Less 15-min walk to the Metro. Uber finds it easily. Appearance: beautiful building. Tastefull interior decor. Breakfast: we had to leave before breakfast started, but boy did it smell delicious. Room: It has been our experience whenever we book a room for four, there are only two sets of towels. Here there were accommodations for four; towels, drinking cups, and the beds were prepped. The room was larger than expected. There did not appear to be any temperature controlls in the room, but we were able to open what appeared to be newer windows to cool the room down for the evening. The roof top garden was very nice to relax. Probably, one of the best stays we have had, too bad it was only short lived because we were only there because of a missed connecting flight.
