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 reviewThe room was very well appointed and practical — the host had thought of all of our travel needs! The host provided coffee, tea, cream, etc and some toast for breakfast. It was easy to find and parking was a breeze. We also loved the free pass to the Kerry Cliffs!

Verified reviewThe place is at a dream location- just a 5 minute walk from the Kerry Cliffs. And 5 min drive to Portmagee- not too much for a walk even. The owner is kind and met us as we arrived. The room is cozy, if somewhat low (under the roof)- so if you are very tall, watch your head. (or take another room at the same location!)
This is really a minimal comment: I know many guests probably prefer the skim milk nowadays.. But we missed the taste, Ireland has super milk and butter..

Verified reviewI loved the location and the access to the Kerry Cliffs, where there is a great view of Skellig Michael. Marie was a great host. The balcony view room is cozy, clean and feels like home away from home. It's close to Portmagee, Valentia Island and Cahersiveen.

Balcony isn't for sitting on and looking out but you are situated short waking distance from the wonderful views of the skelligs from the cliffs.

Verified reviewGreat location. Just a short walk to the Kerry Cliffs and a short drive to Portmagee. Marie's hospitality was exceptional. She went above and beyond what we expected. Knowledgeable, kind, and always up for a chat. Would definitely stay again.
The room can be warm to sleep in during the hot weather, but providing a flat sheet and/or pedestal fan in the room would easily overcome this issue.

Verified reviewPerfect location. The room was very clean with thoughtful additions such as some bread/butter/jam/fruit for breakfast. The pass to the Kerry cliffs was a lovely touch that we really enjoyed - and within walking distance of the property. The host was great to communicate with and everything ran very smoothly.

Verified reviewLocation was good, there were free tickets to the nearby cliffs.
the ceiling was very low for most of the room - could not stand upright in many places and I am five foot six! Room as facilities fine - but described as a balcony view but no balcony! perfectly fine for one night but if you are over five two might be hard for longer.
There is a balcony platform outside the door where a guest can sit or stand and take in the full view of the magnificent Kerry Cliffs so why do write on a review that it's not there, after all it's pictured in the description and the camera never lies. Also the description of the rooms says it has a curved ceiling and also the room is very reasonably priced with breakfast items provided.

Door lock didn't work. Attic room had limited height limiting usable space
The door is new so the lock definitely works, did you lift up the handle to engage the 3 locks , why didn't you ask at reception. Marie
