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 reviewNice swimmingpool and sauna.
A bit to busy or to much of everything. It feels like the hotel wants to compete in having as much possibilities as possible. Makes it a bit to busy inside Parking is not handy, should be mentioned before reservation.

Verified reviewAbsolutely amazing hotel with staff that made the stay unforgettable. From the warm welcome (though we were later than expected due to weather), to the personal and individual service though there were two large functions at the same time during our stay. The staff made us feel at ease and comfortable, and always made us feel like they had time for us. The rooms were impeccably clean and cozy. The food was delicious with many options to choose from for all meals. The spa and pool were very well maintained and clean, with very professional massage services. The work rooms were great with good sound proofing, multiple plugs for charging and very comfortable chairs. The small details in everything, to ensure comfort for the guest, were very well thought out!
Only a very minor remark that there was no USB charging port in the room
Dear Hanna, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review of your stay with us in Maria Alm. We are truly honored by your kind words and thrilled to hear that your experience was so memorable. It means a great deal to us that you felt welcomed and well cared for, especially during a busy time with multiple functions taking place.

We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the cleanliness and comfort of our rooms, the variety and quality of our cuisine, as well as the relaxing atmosphere in our spa and wellness areas. Your feedback about the work rooms and the attention to detail throughout the hotel is especially appreciated. Regarding your note about the USB charging port — thank you for mentioning this. It's a helpful remark, and we will certainly consider it as we continue to improve and modernize our facilities. It was a true pleasure having you as our guest, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable stay in beautiful Maria Alm. Warm regards, your Eder Collection Team

Verified reviewAmazing design, interior, view, pool, all clean, beautiful mountain city, complimentary bag, beautiful sauna places
The stuff was not really nice ro foreigns. Not speaking best english, mixing with their language, not clear communication but very arogant behavior. For a full dinner dish we were waiting 45 minuts to get a desert menu, because the lady was occupied by preparing for breakfast. Than she came, without a word passed the menu and left for another 30 minuts till she finally came without any aplogize- the restaurant was empty and ignored our demanding :(. Also I feel that for a high fee for a dog I would at least expect dog bowls at the room. Parking is not available at the hotel as mentioned in the description, but close short walking distance from the public parking of the ski central place.
Dear Christina, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are very pleased to hear that you liked the design of our house, the interior, the view, the pool and the sauna areas. We also very much appreciate your positive words about the cleanliness and the beautiful location in our mountain town. At the same time, we very much regret that your stay did not meet your expectations in all respects. In particular, the behavior of our team and the long waiting time in the restaurant do not meet our standards of service quality and hospitality. Please be assured that we are taking this feedback very seriously and are already talking to the team on site to make improvements here - also in terms of language communication. With regard to the dog charge, we thank you for your comment. We will be happy to check whether we can expand our service for guests with dogs in the future, e.g. by providing bowls in the room. We will also review the wording regarding parking in our description to avoid any misunderstandings. We would be delighted if you would give us another chance despite these points - we would like to fully convince you on your next visit. Kind regards, the eder collection team

Verified reviewthe breakfast was incredible having the same table waiting for you every day was also great. The spa was stunning the staff were really helpful and the hotel itself is beautiful.
would have appreciated being shown where all the facilities were when I arrived at the hotel finding the spa was a little tricky and also the ski lock up. Room service would have also been a good added bonus. Also accessing the pool through the restaurant was a little daunting if your in a robe.
Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to rate your stay. We are very sorry that you were not given a tour of our hotel as this is actually mandatory for newly arrived guests. The extravagant style of our pool is indeed not the classic norm, but it is part of our lifestyle charm. We are sorry that you noticed the design of our pool in a negative way. There is also direct access from the wellness area to the pool. We are happy to pass on the suggestion to all teams We hope to see you again soon.

Verified reviewThankfully I was staying in a double room on my own, which I found more than comfortable, but had I had to share it, it would have been a very tight squeeze. The breakfasts were fantastic. There was something for everyone, massive selection, and I loved the fact that they had a super juicer. The Spa facilities were super, and I had a lovely massage.
There was actually nothing I didn't like about the Eder.

Verified reviewDesign, Beautiful Area
The hotel and our room were directly opposite the church. Very loud bells start tolling at 6am each morning and every 1/4 hour through the day till late. Staff not well managed and some male waiting staff were a little belligerent, cocky and unhelpful as clearly they were summer staff only who didnt care. Food uninspiring and prawns in soup served raw and led to sickness
Dear Natacha, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are glad that you enjoyed the hotel and the surroundings so much. Due to the central location in the village center of Maria Alm, it is unfortunately, as in every village in Austria, not to be excluded that you can hear the church bells. We can only apologize for the unprofessional behavior of the waiter and regret that we only found out about it now. We would have liked to have discussed the situation on site and with the relevant people. We are sorry to learn that you did not like our cuisine. Nevertheless, we hope that we will be able to convince you of our team and the entire house during your next stay The Eder Collection Team

Dear Rachel, thank you very much for your excellent review. As a family-run hotel, it is very important to us to combine quality with the feeling of "being at home" and to pamper you in a warm atmosphere. We are delighted that you were able to enjoy a relaxing time with your family. Regarding the vegetarian and gluten-free menu. We take the time to ask each guest if they have any allergens. So the kitchen takes care of this and also conjures up excellent food. Thank you for your excellent review and we hope we see you again. Team Eder Collection
