How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOur host Greta was a wonderfully cheerful woman with a deep love of hospitality. Waking up to a lovely breakfast and cheerful tips on things to do around Killarney was a fantastic start to our adventure in Ireland. If we end up back in Killarney we would gladly stay with Greta again!

Verified reviewPerfectly located. So close to the centre but down a quiet peaceful street. Everything was immaculately clean. True Irish hospitality. Greta is an absolutely incredible host. Attentive, accommodating, kind and funny. She goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. The breakfast was delicious and she made sure to cater to any requests with pleasure. The entire breakfast experience was efficient and speedy so that you have ample time to set off for your day. Greta is the kind of human being you are sad to leave behind. A heart of gold who deserves the very best in life. So glad we chose to stay here. She even gifted me my favourite chocolates because it was my 40th birthday. And as I’m sure you’ve read from all of the other reviews, the sweet gesture of her homemade scones everyday with butter and jam was gratefully received. We don’t have a bad word to say about our stay here and highly recommend it to everyone. You will be made to feel at home. And Greta will make sure you are well fed each morning, ready for your adventures. Thank you so much to all the staff.

Verified reviewThe accommodations were just as described, Greta was a wonderful host - and her homemade cherry scones a daily highlight! I loved the location - far enough outside town to be quiet, but a very easy walk into the town center.

Verified reviewGreta made us feel welcome from the start. Our room was spotless, as was our bathroom and the rest of the accommodation. Our room had all we needed including tea and coffee. We could park on the premises and it was only a short walk to shops and restaurants. Greta recommended Hannigans pub/restaurant and this was our best meal of our trip. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. This is one of those stays that you remember for all the right reasons and Greta was responsible for that.
Nothing not to like.

Verified reviewGreta was an absolute angel of a woman. So welcoming and kind and the entire house was so clean. Breakfast service was exceptional and Greta was very attentive to all the guests there. It's true what they say, her cherry scones are amazing but the rest of breakfast was delicious as well. Overall an amazing experience and I will stay here again if I ever find myself back in Killareny.
Nothing.

Verified reviewBreakfast was excellent and freshly made, the owners were very welcoming and friendly. The room was cozy and comfortable, especially the small additional sofa. Outlets conveniently located near the bed. The shared guest fridge downstairs was very convenient. Also excellent location, 5 min walk into town and less then 10 min to the train station, yet still on a very quite residential street with no traffic except for the occasional driving school car using the steeper part of the street for their training.
The shower head was of the fixed wall-mounted kind only, which we found to be a major inconvenience. I realise this might be a personal preference and others might be totally fine with it, but for us it was a bit of a deal breaker, especially had we stayed longer than the two nights. Also the drains of sink and toilet appeared to be slightly clogged somewhere, so in general the plumbing seems in need of renovation... Breakfast was from 8 to 9:30, we would have preferred a slightly later time, but again that's more of a personal thing.

Verified reviewGreta made us so welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. Our room was comfortable and clean for the 3 nights we stayed. A short walk takes you to the centre of town. Greta kept us fed for the days’ activities in Killarney with excellent breakfasts. And I can confirm the scones are outstanding! Thanks for your and your teams’ hospitality Greta. Next time we are in Killarney you’ll be our first check for availability! Thanks again. Paul & Davie!
