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.).

Hard beds and thin curtains which let street lights in
Hello Mark, Thank you for your feedback via your review and it is nice to know that you enjoyed your stay. Your observations on the bed/mattress are a first as all our guest comment on the comfort and firmness of them . As regards the curtains you should note that all our rooms are fitted with blackout blinds in addition to the curtains so light penetration from outside can be a personal choice if the blackout blinds are not used.

Might have liked to be closer to the town but most who stay travel by car. Major attractions are a short drive away.

Verified reviewThe B&B is on the outskirts of town, but an easy drive in to the centre & free parking available in the evening. The B&B offered off-road parking. The owner kindly moved his car in the morning to make our exit a bit easier as we were in a tightish space. We were welcomed by a friendly, accommodating host who showed us to our room & recommended places to eat in Killarney town. The double room was adequate for our 1 night stay. The continental breakfast choice was good, with a couple of cooked options too. Killarney has an abundance of great places to visit.
A compact room at the front of the house with a busy road outside. Quite warm at night, but keeping the window open meant that it was noisy.
Hello Jan, Thank you so much for your great review and it is nice to get your feedback . All maps of our location on all websites outline our distance from the centre of town and therefore all guest are aware of our location at the time of booking In fact many of our guests seek an out of town option for the peace and quiet . We did have a heatwave during your stay which necessitated open windows however the road is generally quiet from 10 pm to 6.30am /7am . Kind regards John & Kathy

Verified reviewKathy and John were pleasant and welcoming hosts. It was so lovely to be greeted at the door by real people, and not a key box. Our room was warm, bright and spacious with an oversized on-suite bathroom. I had a 6.30am start and without hesitation, Kathy told me she would be in the kitchen to ensure I had a proper breakfast before leaving.
