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.).

The only thing about this place is the hill you gotta climb to get up there. But that’s not their fault and very solvable
Everything! The people are lovely. The breakfast was wonderful. The outdoor space is usable and so welcoming.

The whole experience of staying at this fab property was an excellent one. Teresa is incredibly helpful & couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast is amazing & enough choice including homemade soda bread. Our room was immaculate & lovely furnishings. Plenty of parking too. About a 10 - 15 minute walk into Killarney itself. Thank you so much Teresa.

The Guaire House is conveniently located close to the Killarney city centre within a 10 minute walk. The neighborhood is very quiet with a view to the centre. This is an excellent base for exploring Killarney and the Killarney National Park. The hostess Theresa is very friendly and gave us valuable advice for our day trips and where to have dinner.

Beautiful and comfy accommodations close to the action of the city center within easy walking distance but far enough for peace and quiet. Wonderful breakfast, and Teresa took our requests for the perfect start to our days. Good size shower with excellent pressure and first rate bedding. Excellent recommendations for food and nightly activities as well.

Teresa was a phenomenal host - she really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home at Guaire House. She even let my mom borrow her rain jacket to keep her warm and dry on our excursions! The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast each morning was delicious. Teresa provided local recommendations on things to do and places to eat, and checked with us each day on what time and style we wanted our breakfast. Staying with Teresa was one of the biggest highlights of our trip - thank you so much Teresa for everything you did to make our stay extra special!

Teresa was an exceptional host. The house and accommodation was beautiful, clean and extremely comfortable. Teresa allowed us to drop our bags off early which was so accommodating. The house is easy walking distance to the town centre and Teresa provided excellent recommendations for site seeing tours and restaurants. She couldn’t be more helpful!

Wow. This place exceeded our expectations. Teresa was a wonderfully friendly host, dropping everything to help us when we had troubles with our credit card. Her knowledge of the area and suggestions of where to go and where to eat were great. The bed was gloriously comfy and the room was clean and furnished beautifully. Breakfast was delicious (we loved her homemade Irish soda bread!) and tables were laid with white tablecloths for a nice dining experience. Location was an easy walking distance to the main centre of town.

Theresa was a welcoming host and shared local information about things to do including walking trails and hikes. We very much enjoyed our stay; as if we were visiting someone we already knew. The Guaire House is in a quiet neighborhood, but easily walkable to the main Killarney town. Great breakfast and room.
