How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA good location for our needs. Next door to an excellent restaurant. The apartment was clean.
The room was smaller than expected and, for us, the bed was too short to lie flat. The room was ok for 4 nights but not for a long stay. The hotel next door was specifically for children and it was quite noisy into the evening. There is no lift and we were on the top floor.

Verified reviewAlmkonig is in a great location less than 10.mins from the village centre. The apartment was clean and comfortable and had enough kitchen equipment to be able to self cater although there is an excellent Italian restaurant next door. Marianne who manages the apartments is super friendly and helpful and took time to explain some nice places to go to.
Unless you like the noise of excited children playing ask for a room at the front of the building.

Verified reviewOur stay at Almkönig was really exceptional. The apartment that we had was on the 2nd floor and it was ideal for the stay that we had booked. It was very clean, spacious and very tidy. The apartment had all the little utilities that we needed and it is very much perfectly located within walking distance from everything we had planned. Marion, our host.............was also simply amazing. She was friendly and so very helpful all the time. She went way above and beyond to help us book Tennis Courts, which she did without any discussion whatsoever. She truly contributed enormously to our entire 4 days stay being so very pleasant. I would definitely stay there again and recommend this hotel to everyone.
If I were to complain about anything, it is that there is a Children's hotel next to Almkönig, and if you are a long sleeper, then be aware that in the holidays, there are a few children running around next door.

Verified reviewThe property is right in town , short walking distance to the ski lifts and shops in this beautiful village.It has lots of great hiking opportunities. Also the host was very friendly and helpful 😃
The wifi didn’t always work well but I wouldn’t put the apartment down for that it just takes a little longer at times.

Verified reviewVery clean apartment in a good location. Host was very helpful and was around every day if we needed to ask anything. The tourist card (hochkonig) was great, gave us free entry to the outdoor pool every day as well as free cable cars and even the summer toboggan run.
Shower cubicle was small and after the first shower the bathroom floor was flooded as the shower doors didn't seal properly at the bottom. Restaurant next door was noisy in the evenings but we were early sleepers so wont bother everyone. Lots of wasps around the windows int he living area as this is near the bin store so every day we had to chase wasps out or keep the windows shut (it was 32 degrees!)

Verified reviewThe location was superb, Maria Alm is a good base for your hiking holiday. It was possible to use a sauna. The staff was very helpfull.
The room was quite small and I would not fit in the bed being more than 190cm long. Tv was small, like a computer monitor.

Verified reviewJust an amazing apartment, at a perfect location. Super clean, very well equipped. All machines working properly, all tools provided - you just have the comfort not to run immediately to the shop to buy coffee capsules, trash bags or dishwasher tablets. Marion is a very helpful and nice host, thank you very much again for your flexibility! We booked an apartment where dogs were not allowed (my mistake), and our booking was just changed to an even better apartment, with dogs allowed.

Verified reviewExcellent location in little Maria Alm. The restaurant next door was very good, we ate there several times. Short walk to the center of the village. We used our Hochkönig Card for free cable car and ski lift rides. The staff (Maria) was very helpful and friendly.
An elevator would be nice, but Maria helped us with our bags!

Verified reviewLocation, layout inside and also next to the ski cave and provision of a sauna for stiff muscles after skiing. Nice decor and felt clean and homely. Worked well for our extended family to come and dine with us in the spacious kitchen with ample seating for all 7 of us. Would recommend it
Generally it was great and would come again but if could make an improvement it would be that we did run out of hot water in the evening when I wished to shower/ bath before bed. The people above us wore hard shoes on the hard floor in very early morning which was noisy. Advice to walk in soft shoes to people not used to apartment living
