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 reviewI got a lovely welcome from Tina the first day and she made breakfast. Pat the owner was there the last day and he was lovely. It was less than 10 minutes walk to the INEC where I was attending concerts. It's in a nice quiet area just off the main road. Two service station shops near by and a short walk to the town also. Pat even gave me a lift to the train station when I was leaving which was very kind.

Verified reviewReally nice B&B and the hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was really comfortable and it is only a short walk into the city center. They were also really kind and accommodating for the breakfast.
Just felt a little overpriced for a room for one night.

Verified reviewIt was a terrific location, everything white and appeared to be new, beds comfortable, room temperature just right. Host friendly and welcoming. Was looking for a pizza place but host noted that there was a sports event in town and restaurants would be full. We went into town and had a hamburger at Rocket Freddies which wasn't overly busy. Parking in a town is always a challenge. Nice towel rack in bathroom. Thankful for a shower mat - floors can be slippery without one. We had a flat tire when we woke up the next day. Host was patient while we figured out what to do. Had to take a taxi to our next B&B outside Macroom to wait for a replacement car. Taxi cab cost us 150 Euros rather than the 50 Euros the host thought.
I kept hitting my head on the ceiling - had to remember to stay close to ends of beds. comforters are heavy - but that seems to be the norm for comforters in all places. Breakfast service was slow. People at another table were there before us - left before we were served - scrambled egg portion small.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good. Off street parking. Location to the national park.
Was hoping for a common area to spend time outside bedroom. Was expecting a bigger space for 4 adults to stay. There was no room with the roof pitch. One bathroom for 4 adults is challenging.

Verified reviewWonderful welcome by the host, directly putting us at ease and encouraging us to visit Killarney. The city is just 15min walk away, very lively. The location was very quiet and easy to find. Breakfast was also very nice

Verified reviewThe staff was very nice, good location for what we needed. Shower had nice pressure and hot water. The irish breakfast was made fresh. Very acomodating owners, late checkin was appreciated.
The room was very small and the bed very soft and squeaky. Bathroom seemed installed in the wardrobe. Very loud and bright, with the people in and out. There were very few vegetarian options for breakfast.

Verified reviewI asked a number of times, twice before we arrived and then on arrival, if there was anyway we could have breakfast at 7AM. I was assured everytime that we would be able to get breakfast at 7AM, we were even asked what we wanted for our breakfast, and then on the morning itself, we sat in a cold dark breakfast room, without even a cup of coffee! No breakfast. Not sure why. There was no one there to check us out so we simply left, baffled.
the breakfast!
