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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GreeceI read the reviews here before selecting where to stay and all the positive reviews i saw are true and i'm glad i chose this room as Maria is an excellent hostess, willing to assit you for everything you might need (thank you Maria!!!), you will find more equipment than you will need in the room which is very clean, quiet (no road noises) with confort beds and pillows. Located in the in a central place in Madrid (we have visited all sites walking, if you prefer walking) and is very close to metro station and even to train station (we had a day trip to Toledo) and very very close to restaurants, shopping stores etc.

Taiwaninstructions of how to use the safety box is confusing, not sure if the safety box is working (but I did not ask the host about it though).
Maria welcomed us in person and gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants and attractions in Madrid. Not only was this information useful, but it also made us feel very welcomed. We needed to go through three doors (building front door, entry door to the 3 apartments managed by the owner , and the apartment door) to enter the apartment, which made me feel very safe. The apartment was very clean and well-maintained. Although not large, the space was utilized very well, making it very comfortable to stay in. ; and the shower and shower space are great! Everywhere you look, you can see the care and effort the host has put into the place.

United StatesThe apartment is very comfortable and clean with many thoughtful accommodations like detergent for laundry, soap and a rack for dishes, and even after-shower slippers. The location is amazing; it's very quiet but also very close to metro stations, museums, and restaurants. Maria, the host, is better than any concierge we have ever had anywhere. She let us check in early and met us and explained everything about the city to us, including elements of the history and culture that a non-local would not know. She has the best recommendations if you want to try traditional cuisine or go to see the gorgeous sunsets. We'll always stay here when we visit Madrid.

New ZealandNothing, all was as expected and of a good standard.
The location was really good, just off the tourist area. Close to museums. The new lift in the building was very smooth. Nice to have the extra space of an apartment. Location and building quiet. Maria was a fantastic host, gave heaps of info about what to do, and booked the early morning taxi to the airport for us. There are local ethnic shops and restaurants down the hill from Alma suits. We dined there on 2 nights at the Italian restaurant, with bonus live music on Sunday night.

RomaniaOur stay at Alma Suites was very pleasant. Located close to the city center, it has everything that you need for short or even longer stays. However, the star of this experience was Maria, our host. She kindly answered all of our questions and gave us some tips and tricks that we couldn't find anywhere else. We recommend this accomodation wholeheartedly.

GreeceEverything was perfect. Starting with Alessandro and Maria, who run it. They helped us with everything we needed. In a place where very few people speak english, it's very important. They gave us guidance for places of interest and a city plan. We asked for 2 extra pillows, they gave us 4! They even helped us to get tickets to Toledo. The apartment was like new and very spacious, which is very rare in Madrid. Very clean, with a second bath in the bedroom! Fully equipped kitchen, all appliances were like new, modern and not the usual cheap ones. The location is very convenient, on a few minutes wallking distance from Plaza del Sol and Mayor, La Latina area, 3 Metro station, Prado, El Retiro park. My next time in Madrid, I won't have to search where to stay, I'll book directly to Alma.

United Statestiny issues- we could have contacted host but these really didn't deter our stay.... 1/needs some mixing bowls, potholders for cooking and perhaps wrap or storage containers (wish we remembered to pack our own!) 2/only one washing machine soap provided-we are traveling for a month and did a load as soon as we arrived and would have loved to do another before leaving for our next location.. 3/no dishwashing soap- we just hand washed dishes and glasswear.
Fabulous host who took time to go over a map of Madrid for us, Mentioned places to eat and visit and followed up with listing for us. Efficient elevator. Very spacious inside property Well appointed kitchen for cooking. Some items in refrigerator for purchase was appreciated. Clean, safe area. Easy to get to. Fun little "Bar" and Octopus restaurant very near by.

PolandThe only drawback to this otherwise excellent apartment was the noise from neighboring units. Unfortunately, the walls seemed a bit thin, so I could occasionally hear voices and sounds from other apartments. While it wasn't a deal-breaker, it did detract slightly from the overall tranquility of the stay.
The apartment had a lot to offer and provided a comfortable and enjoyable stay. First and foremost, the cleanliness and comfort of the apartment were impressive. It was spotlessly clean when I arrived, and the furnishings were cozy, making it feel like a home away from home. One of the standout features of this apartment was the fully equipped kitchen. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just looking to prepare a quick meal, you'll find everything you need here. It made dining in a breeze and saved me money on eating out every night. The owner of the apartment was a truly welcoming and helpful host. He took the time to provide me with an overview of the city's most interesting places to visit and recommended some of the best restaurants in Madrid. His local insights were invaluable and greatly enhanced my stay. Situated in the heart of Madrid, this apartment offers easy access to all the must-visit places, and you can reach them within a leisurely 30-minute walk or less.
