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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe showers had mildew stains. Probably time to caulk again.
The property has an excellent location right across from the pier. There is a grocery store right down the street as well as a couple of restaurants practically right out the front door. This is a wonderful little town and works well for a stopover on the Ring of Kerry or to visit Skellig Michael Island. It had everything we needed for our short stay.

United KingdomNothing it was perfect
Friendly welcome. The location was perfect with gorgeous views of the harbour and close to everything in this pretty village. The hosts had left us pastries and scones, bread and milk and other basics which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable a very cute house. I was travelling with a friend and our children who loved it. We only stayed one night to break up our Ring of Kerry trip but we all wished we could have stayed longer.

Hong KongDoesn’t really have its own parking like it wasstated in the description, it was street parking or free town carpark instead
Feels like a home away from home, my father particularly likes the fireplace that was already burning welcoming us. The location is very close to the pier for the Skellig Michael boat. No noise from the nearby restaurant at night at all. Very well equipped kitchen. Will choose this place again if I re-visit Portmagee

IrelandWhen I first booked I thought it was a little dear but the house is in a perfect location right on the pier and was so clean so now I think the price was worth it
Perfect place for visiting Skellig michael House was so clean we met the owner briefly she was so nice. There's lots of cooking staples in the cupboards amd milk in the fridge my daughter was delighted with the chocolate bars. There was even a lovely loaf of brown bread left for us. The photos are the view from upstairs bedroom.

United StatesWe loved everything.
The owner was exceptional. He was quick to respond and very accommodating. We stayed here with a family of five including college aged children and an 80+ grandparent with mobility issues. Everyone in our group raved about the townhouse. It is very quiet, well equipped, and directly across from the pier. We could not have been more pleased.

IrelandVery damp, very dusty. The furniture has seen better days. Most uncomfortable. I checked into Pierview in Portmagee, Co Kerry on July 19th but was unable to stay in the property as I have a dust mite allergy and the damp and dust in the property caused me to have an asthma attack. Once I messaged the owner to explain the situation, it took several days for a response. Once the complaints procedure began, after a week of messaging, the only refund offered was a free night’s stay in low season in the property, which obviously is unacceptable because I cannot tolerate the environment which triggers my asthma. I often rate properties and customers will notice I am very fair and usually rate properties 9, or 10 in other reviews but Pier View is a health hazard. I am a very loyal and active customer on this website but am shocked at how little was done to understand the severe nature of my concern.
