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 reviewThey were very friendly. Gave us some very good information about local attractions and car drives like the Ring of Kerry. Room was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Would recommend the Horse and Carriage ride that was great!
The cooked breakfast was less than we expected. Tea and coffee was not in the room but it was available in the sitting room downstairs.

Verified reviewGreat and quite location in the outskirts of the town with easy access to the main road. The room was large with a nice view of the fields. The bathroom was also large. A decent breakfast was served at an extra cost. The owner was very nice and friendly and gave us a lot of information about the places we should visit.
The bed and pillows were not comfortable. There was no coffee/tea available in the room.

Verified reviewThe room we were given did not match the rooms we saw on the website. The decor was dated and not at all to our liking whereas in the rooms we saw on the website were much more neutral and appealing.

Thank you for your feedback Beth. I’m sorry the room did not meet your expectations. The room you stayed in was the room you booked and is accurately shown on Booking.com. It is a spacious room with a large bathroom, lovely mountain views, and a balcony adjacent to the room. While the décor may not have been to your taste, we always strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming stay for all our guests

Verified reviewThe location of Martin and Sheila’s B & B, Shepherds Lodge was the perfect location for us. The views from our bedroom window were majestic. We traveled the Ring of Kerry, touring the sights, eating at local pubs and enjoying the absolutely most breathtaking scenery. Hosts are and were very accommodating. This is a family run business where you can also include a carriage ride and tour the local sites. The breakfast was delicious !
Every thing was perfect and we would definitely recommend Shepherds Lodge B & B to all. We would absolutely be back !

Verified reviewGreat location for car travelers, with a petrol station and supermarket nearby. It’s a 20-30 minute walk to town. The host was lovely, offering helpful tips on local attractions and restaurants. The neighborhood is cozy and peaceful.
Breakfast options were somewhat limited, and the serving time was a bit restrictive.
