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 reviewA really beautiful place to visit. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Loves having the cattle dogs pop past for a pat and the sheep and donkies just over the fence!

Verified reviewMarie was an excellent host as well at her son. The location was incredible, a short walk to the Kerry Cliffs. A 5 minute drive into Portmagee for some of the best seafood we’ve ever had.

Verified reviewFantastic location, right next to the cliff walk, they give you a pass for the cliffs and you can watch the sunset, with almost no one around. We came quite late and found some bread, eggs and milk which the hosts left for us, which was really very nice. The kitchen is spotless and very well equipped.
The only downside is that the shower is very small.

Verified reviewOwner met me and made my earlier than expected arrival easy. Loved the close location to the stunning Kerry Cliffs, her roaming donkeys and the gorgeous view out over Portmagee. Sheets crisply line-dried in the clean Kerry air! And food for me to make a filling breakfast. All the kitchen appliances you could need!
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewMarie was a fantastic host! We knew the apartment was small but we made it work…we did not need the kitchen facilities, but they were terrific for anyone needing to cook. The bathroom was small, but workable, quite an adventure in living overnight in a small space…it was quiet with an occasional sheep baa baa as it is a working farm right next door…we loved the border collies in the morning.
That we didn’t stay longer!

Verified reviewSo nice to have a little kitchen area - and nice stash of breakfast supplies. Comfortable beds and easy parking were great too. Walked over to Kerry Cliffs in the evening and appreciated the free entry. Excellent place to stay especially if you have a boat trip in the morning.
