“BEST STAY EVER!!!”
What can we say about our stay at The Alma, except that is was exceptional! Upon arriving, we were met with a lovely charcuterie plate and treats in our room set up by Ana & Lena, who had also upgraded us to a suite (with a Nespresso machine??? Yesss!). The front desk staff were always friendly, in… more

“Comfortable room, Grace was fantastic”
The staff here were nothing short of superb. Grace welcomed me, remembered it was my birthday and sent me to my room with a snack bag and some wine! I was blown away at the level of friendliness and service at the Alma.

“Absolutely Fantastic”
Our group travels on a baseball trip every year. This hotel experience has been the best. The room and views were extraordinary. The room (and hotel) were extremely cleanly and the hospitality of all employees were second to none, friendly and accommodating. As an example, we asked the front de… more

“Conflicted”
Lovely, clean and welcoming hotel with excellent staff. The hotel itself was great. The only issue for us was the immediate surrounding area. We encountered strong smells of urine, visible drug use, anti-social behaviour and a general feeling of being unsafe, which affected our stay. Interestingly… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
