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.).

The property was incredibly tasteful, had beautiful artworks and felt warm and homely. Loved the tiny Smeg kettle, cute and homemade treats and welcoming sherry. Some lovely thoughtful touches. The three course breakfast in the main house with the fire going with our incredible host, Antonio, was a definite highlight.

The location was excellent and within easy walking distance of the local shops and restaurant. Our room was immaculate and exquisitely decorated. The attention to detail was remarkable and the luxurious linens made for a dreamy night's sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the food. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast. Every dish was prepared with love and care, featuring locally sourced ingredients that tantalized our taste buds. But what truly sets 1 Royal St apart is the warm and genuine hospitality of the hosts. Antonio went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. He offered invaluable local recommendations, helping us explore the hidden treasures of the area. His passion for their guesthouse and the community was palpable, and his dedication to creating a memorable experience for guests was evident in every interaction. If you're searching for a guesthouse that offers not only comfortable accommodations but also a profound sense of warmth and hospitality, look no further than 1 Royal St.

We loved everything about our stay at Royal Street Guesthouse. Antonio's superior service was evident from the minute we stepped over the threshold. My husband who has traveled extensively remarked that his welcome was the best that he has ever had; it was friendly, thorough and informative. He provided suggestions for dinner and made the reservation as per our request. The room is tastefully decorated, comfortable, clean with lovely touches such as homemade rusks, ground coffee, jelly beans and pillow chocolates. Breakfasts are a highlight with homemade croissants, cheeses, meats, homemade jams, crepes ..... not to mention very delicious coffee. We enjoyed looking at the wide range of artworks and beautiful objects on display not to mention paging through a book selected from the library as you enter the guesthouse. The guesthouse is perfectly situated for exploring Riebeek Kasteel, it is situated opposite the Royal Hotel where one can sit and have sundowners after an afternoon of browsing through the shops which are within easy walking distances. We would absolutely select to stay here again if we return to the area.

United KingdomThere was nothing anyone could dislike.
A beautiful period house in the centre of the town near to all amenities. The bedrooms was very tastefully decorated and furnished with great attention to detail. The Garden Room overlooks a green, tranquil garden with just the the birdsong in the morning. The bed was firm and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with the majority of the food sourced locally and with some very tasty treats prepared by Antonio, one of the hosts. The breakfast room was very tastefully furnished and to such an extent that you felt as if you were stepping into the pages of an interiors magazine! There was very useful information provided about restaurants and shops. A fantastic experience all round!
