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.).

The water pressure was low for a shower.
The host was friendly, welcoming, and informative. He was prepared with restaurant recommendations. He ensured we were comfortable. It was a very convenient walk from town and restaurants and pubs.

Nothing - it was great! :)
Everything! Frank is a lovely host and massively helped with restaurant recommendations in Killarney and even telling me the trick of sitting behind the driver on my bus tour of the Ring of Kerry. He was also very accommodating, with a space for guests to bring food in if they so wish. The rooms are spacious with tea and coffee facilities and a standard en-suite bathroom. I would highly recommend Windway House for a comfy nights sleep with good value for money for Killarney and a lovely host too!

We stayed at this lovely guest house over the weekend and had a fantastic experience! The location is ideal — just a few minutes walk from the city centre, yet in a quiet and peaceful area. There’s a private parking area, but it's also possible to park for free right outside, which was very convenient. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. The rooms are a good size and, most importantly, very clean and well-maintained. There’s also a shared lounge and a dining area where you can enjoy breakfast with your own food. We really appreciated the glass bottles of water that were always available! Overall, I highly recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Kilkenny. It’s comfortable, clean, and offers great hospitality.

Frank went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable and we were invited to use a sitting room and a breakfast room if we so wished. There was also a fridge and a microwave, which made life much easier than most other places. I would recommend this place to others.

Thank you very much to the owner Frank. Our stay was short, but we managed to enjoy the nice accommodation. The room is very clean and equipped with all the necessary things. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, and in the morning it was quiet, so we always got a good night's sleep. The owner Frank is an incredibly nice and friendly person who will always help with any issue. Thank you very much.
