Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Gracious, kind, friendly host who made us feel welcome and special. Delicious, different, lovingly prepared breakfast. Very cosy, comfortable bed. Fantastic shower. Easy to visit local attractions from 1Royal Street Guesthouse, on foot and by car. Interesting decor. Beautiful garden. Non-intrusive host, yet very obliging to meet any special requests.

South AfricaWhat a splendid weekend away. 1 Royal Street Guesthouse is an absolute gem so close to Cape Town. Riebeeck Kasteel is a beautiful little town with a big, big heart. The hospitality of our host, Antonio, was exceptional. This beautiful guesthouse will definitely see us again. Thank you Antonio for a super special breakfast, made and served by yourself. We throughly enjoyed every minute of our stay in your beautiful, super neat and special guesthouse.

South AfricaEverything was exceptional.
A truly inspirational one night stay at 1 Royal Street Guesthouse, with unbeatable location right in the heart of town. Every inch of this guesthouse bares testimony to Antonio and Ashley's passion for travel, art, reading, food, gardening and fine countryside living. Each space is filled with unique artwork, collected over many years from all over the world. Each piece with its own story, which Antonio was happy to share. The guesthouse has a carefully curated yet comfortable and relaxing feeling. Our room was extremely well appointed and the beautiful fabrics and bespoke furniture pieces made for a true feast for the eyes. Antonio's beautifully presented three course breakfast was an experience in itself. Croissants freshly baked by Antonio and served with his own homemade preserves was a special treat. Excellent communication from Antonio. A short but memorable stay. Will definitely be back.

South AfricaEverything was perfect
I recently had the pleasure of staying at 1 Royal Street Guest House, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The location is absolutely perfect, allowing easy access to all the local attractions and amenities. Every aspect of the guest house was perfect. The décor was simply wonderful, showcasing a great attention to detail. The place was spotless, which is an important factor for me as a fussy traveller. The breakfast was fabulous, offering thoughtful, homemade, 3 courses, with local delicacies. The host, Antonio, was amazing, always attentive and willing to assist with any needs or questions. Overall, this guest house gets a well-deserved 10 stars from me. It truly went above and beyond in every way.

What a jewelbox of a guesthouse. Absolutely gorgeous place, very comfortable rooms with the best beds and linens we experienced our whole trip. High ceilings, lovely bathroom, and the prettiest pool/garden area. Truly cannot recommend this guesthouse enough. Close to everywhere you'd walk to walk to in Riebeeck Kasteel. Antonio is an excellent host (and baker!). Thank you for a perfect stay. We'll be back.

It couldn't get better. In the centre of Riebeek Kasteel, Ashley and Antonio have curated a creative and culinary experience that reflects this artistic country town. Artwork from painters, photographers and sculptors is carefully arrayed on the walls with the rooms very comfortably arranged, with high ceilings and air conditioning for the odd hot day. The handmade croissants, Brazillan coffee and beautifully presented breakfast made us wish we had, just one more day.
