What guests say
9.5 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 183 guest reviews
The Riding Academy Hotel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its stunning equestrian-themed grounds, immaculate rooms, and excellent on-site café, with many guests expressing a desire to return. However, recurring frustrations around a slow check-in process, lack of room service, and a surprise pet fee that wasn't communicated upfront are genuine pain points worth noting. Minor facility issues — including an AC outage and inaccessible pool before check-in — suggest that operational consistency could still be improved.
