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.).

Nothing
The room was everything I needed. Good size bedroom and bathroom, amazingly comfortable bed and pillows, tea and coffee facilities and serviced during my 4 nights. Breakfast was included and there was a good variety and delicious. Kathleen (hope name is correct) helped in the dining area and was a real treasure The location was very central to shopping, restaurants and bars. It was only a short walk to bus and train stops and tour pick up points.

Our bedroom was a little smaller than we expected and we thought that there would be a Residents lounge area (from the received information)to use in inclement weather however the staff did leave the restaurant area open during the day should we want to sit in easy chairs to read or relax. The cleaning of our room was a bit erratic but it did not spoil the overall experience.
The staff were all very helpful,friendly and full of Irish charm. The breakfasts were excellent and the location in the middle of Killarney was perfect. The owners were exceedingly helpful in pre-planning our holiday in Ireland and provided us with information about visits in the area. We had a wonderful holiday and would love to come back to Kerry.

It’s a bit noisy being above a bar, but thankfully the bar is not open all night. My room overlooked the alleyway which was a bit noisy at night too.
The room was lovely…very clean, well appointed and such a comfortable bed. The breakfast service was exceptional! Chef Norita is not only a wonderful cook but her daily banter and recommendations were the highlight.

Being in the centre of things and because the rooms were on a pub the noise at times was unbearable
Room was clean and the woman who served us breakfast I think her name was Norita was fantastic. She went out of her way to see we've got everything we need.

The TV was mounted at an oddly high level making watching it near impossible. Having said that, we weren't there for the TV so really not a complaint.
The location of the property is perfect. The staff were very helpful and kind. Breakfast was delicious each day. Overall, a very nice experience. The room was simple but clean and had everything we needed.
