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 reviewKathy was a wonderful host...Friendly, down to earth, and genuinely helpful in a low key way. We admire what she's accomplished in creating and operating Applecroft House. Kathy's guesthouse is quite serene...tucked away +/- 150 feet from the road, so nicely buffered from any traffic noise, yet it's still within a short walk of Killarney's vibrant and delightful downtown. We loved our stay at the Applecroft House!

Verified reviewCaring, friendly hostess. Cathy does everything to make guests stay as comfortable as possible. Attention to details. Very cosy cottage, clean, comfortable, very quiet. The best breakfast in Ireland. Shops and restaurants are 15 min walk away. But the stroll is very agreable. Parking. Wifi. Lots of tips for tourists.
Nothing. 10/10

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay at the Applecroft House! Kathy is such an amazing host. It was our son’s third birthday and she made him a little cake, it was so thoughtful. She also brought him books and some legos. We looked forward to her homemade breakfast every morning, can’t wait to come back!
Everything was perfect

Verified reviewKathy and her Family were extremely friendly with a warm welcome. Knowledgeable with details on where to visit. Even made maps. Location was a comfortable walk into Killarney. The triple room was spacious and ideal for a family sharing. Her much highly reviewed breakfast lived up to its reputation. The soaked oats divine. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you so much.

Verified reviewApplecroft House is in a quiet neighbourhood. It felt very busy in Killarney so we were pleased to have a peaceful garden and room to come home to. It is a 20 minute walk into the centre of town and cost €9.50 for a taxi back to the B&B. Our hosts were fantastic and made us feel very much at home. Kathy gave us lots of tips for local attractions and went the extra mile for our son. It’s the smallest of personal touches that make the difference between a good and exceptional stay. Our room was very spacious, exceptionally clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. We particularly liked the Bircher muesli.
