Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The full size bed is very firm and hard. I would definitely suggest a foam mattress topper or something. I recommend the hosts make a one sheet information guide for the apartment. The wifi code and directions to the water heater would be helpful to all have in one spot.
The location can't be beat. It is less than 10 minute walk into downtown Killarney and only about a 5 minute drive to Ross Castle (a must see). Additionally, Killarney National park, Muckross House, Torc Waterfall, and a variety of other sights are within a 20-30 minute drive. We used Killarney as a home base to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. This apartment was surprisingly spacious. The two bedrooms were a good size and the bathroom was huge! The living, dining, and kitchen space all open to each other which made it easy to watch my 3 year old play. We loved being able to walk to dinner each night. The apartment had enough in the kitchen for me to make simple meals for our family of 3. It was also walking distance to the Killarney Playground, which was fantastic!

We stayed in this property during the winter season with our daughter, who is under 2 years old. The bedroom was cold and we couldn't get the bedroom heating to work. The problem was that the two bedroom heaters were code protected, and both heaters, respectively, have been set to only come only few times during the day. However, the same heating system in the living room/kitchen were not code protected and worked fine. The vendor had left one (1) classic rubber hot water bottle in each bedroom to fill up with hot water in order to keep warm. I had no choice but to browse Amazon in my attempt to try and buy a small portable heater. I reported the issue to Booking.com and Sykes Cottages, and the vendor's son came the following day to reprogram the heating settings without further issues for the remainder of our stay. 2. This is probably a minor issue, and I believe this may have been highlighted already by a previous reviewer. I will reiterate it again. I loved the bathroom. However, the toilet can not be flushed until both the toilet seat and cover have been put down. So you are lifting and closing the toilet seat with the cover just to flush it. Hygiene issues there. I will recommend this property for a short-term stay. But, i strongly recommend that the code is removed from the bedroom heaters or that the code is shared with customers.
The property is a first-floor flat with a balcony. Two good-sized rooms, and a kitchen diner. The property is a short distance away from local shops and amenities, including rail. There were enough toiletries and everything we needed in the kitchen. Overall, we had a good stay.

I didn't understand how to connect to WiFi.
Comfortable accommodation 5 minutes from the city center. Good transport interchange. Each car has its own place. A very beautiful city with wonderful residents! Lake, mountains, waterfall, castles - everything is quite close - 7..10 minutes by car. Well-equipped kitchen. comfortable living room with a fireplace.

Looks like the apartment is being updated over a period. Kitchen was good but heating system & flooring are old & could do with updating. Toaster wasn’t working. Toilet flush also needs attention as handle is not working properly.
Self catering - facilites for doing our own cooking were good with plenty of hot water. Living room & beds were clean & comfortable. Plenty of towels provided which was nice.

Fantastic location as centre of town was minutes away. Apartment very clean and beds very comfy. Also has a balcony which would be great in the warmer months. Basically a home from home.
