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.).

South AfricaThe cold water tap in the shower is very sensitive, 2 mm in either direction is the difference between ice-cold and burning hot. Once you find the sweet spot it is a nice shower.
Great location with friendly helpful staff. The fires that are kept burning in the lounge and restaurant areas are lovely.

Although it is an old hotel, this just adds to the charm that is the Royal. Staff and service were impeccable, you definitely feel like royalty when you visit. We loved sipping port by the crackling fireplace (there are a few), as well as having a two course breakfast on the "stoep". Will definitely return!

South AfricaWas disappointed to find (on a cold night) that the fireplaces are only decorative (I booked the unit because of the fireplace in the photo); but the hotel admitted that the website was misleading and needs to state that and sent me a bottle of MCC which I thought was a nice token. We tried to go to the restaurant at 20h30 and we were told that they would only serve us dessert; I thought that was a little ridiculous. At very least expected the kitchen woudl be open until 21h00. So then had to wonder around town tryin gto find a place to eat. Did have breakfast at the restaurant and we both found the breakfast to be very poor. The oats were not at all good, the omelet was poor (all ingredients inside were raw / cold - i.e. had requested friend banana, was raw, tomato was still cold/fresh and not even the cheese had melted, was still in blocks). My partner had egg on toast and a sausage on the side and it was just so poorly presented; no garnish etc. Expected a lot more .
Well located hotel; very clean; beautiful building, well maintained. Beds were comfortable, units were spacious, nice that there is a bar, restaurants etc on site, all in all a very nice hotel and a very nice suite. Beautiful views, grounds are well maintained.
