Botanica London Reviews from The Last Year
Delightful afternoon tea at Botanica
I attended a glorious afternoon tea with a girlfriend . The choices of teas was wonderful . The cakes and sandwiches delightful . The service outstandiing Both Geethika and Sanya were professional friendly and could not do enough to make our experience joyful . I highly recommend afternoon tea at Botanica both for the ambience service and fabulous afternoon tea . Sherry B
Terrible service
It’s a beautiful place but they have terrible service. We weren’t shown to our table instead the waiter pointed to the table that was meant for us. The waiter did not explain the menu but rather dumped it on our table and walked away. He never checked on us nor did he bother to make himself available to refill our teas. I highly recommend going elsewhere as they do not know how to deliver good quality service.
Fantastic drinks
We have fantastic drinks made by Daniel, it is a good place to visit - good waiters - always kindly - Nice service. We comeback again!
Don’t bother, just like their customer service
Disappointed is an understatement. I was looking forward to visiting despite the poor reviews. Beautiful decor and crockery and tasty warm scones but that is about it. The food was mediocre and the egg in the sandwiches was clearly off - smelt rotten and my stomach churned on eating almost immediately. On seating, we were asked if we wanted water (yes). An hour in still hadn’t been served. Had to ask and no apology from the waitress (Geetika). She seemed to be friendly only to certain guests - the table next to us said/felt the same. The desserts were horrible - the chocolate mini was too sharp, the target too tangy and pastry undercooked. The worst part is there’s no refill you have to pay £12 extra if you want more sandwiches or cake. They also add a discretionary service charge which, given there was no attention or service apart from the nice girl who brought the tea out, is a cheek. It’s unlike any afternoon tea ive been to and I know as I have been to many in London as I’m looking to hire an afternoon tea event space for 30+ persons. This isn’t worth the money as the food was substandard so they’ve lost out in a large booking. If you want to really get the full afternoon tea experience I’d recommend Chesterton and One Aldwych.
Wonderful time
We had wonderful time with my partner. Thank you Elena for the wonderful service. We received so much pleasure :) I will come back.
Looks the part but Dissapointing
As a family we do an afternoon tea every year and this has to be the worst one ever. The quality was poor with one pot of tea and no refills. Our cakes had just been placed on to the stand with no explanation, other tables had decorated cakes ours had nothing, considering we were the first people in the room there was no excuse. We ordered cocktails at the beginning and we offered them when our time was up, had a waitress bothered to acknowledge us at the table then maybe we could have chased them up. We took some cakes home and had to scoop them with our hands into a takeaway box ourselves.
Great afternoon tea
Excellent choice of tea, very special to find delicious Sicilian cannoli. Delicious scones, fantastic clotted cream and jam. All very refined and of the highest quality. Absolutely recommended. Special thanks to the very kind Geethika who guided us in this experience.
Great experience
Beautiful venue, and food is delicious too. Was served by Geethika who was kind and attentive to our table and answered to our requests

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Prepaid Reservation Fee |
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!
