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 room was cramped and hard to maneuver with luggage so if we had planned to spend alot of time in our room it would have been more of a negative. The bathroom only works for a smaller size person so agin we did ok but I felt like I barely had room.
The location was excellent…close to everything yet quiet. The breakfast was delicious, the staff outstanding and the atmosphere relaxing…a great way to start the day.

The man in the hotel for check-in was extremely rude. He was sharp, blunt, unfriendly and unpleasant. I also observed him interact with other guests to whom he was horrible. 4pm check in is also very late.
Location is great. It was exactly what we needed for a one night stay.

The apartment was very big. I was very pleasantly suprised that it was so big and nice. Who would have thought that you would get a whole ground floor in a B+B. Big kitchen/dining room, seperate lounge and bedroom, also laundry outside. I booked at the last minute because of being cancelled from another accomadation. It was school holidays and a bank holiday weekend, so l took whatever l could get at last minute. It came with breakfast at the hotel 100m from accomadation. Breakfast was excellent and people very nice. Very close to town centre.

No obvious temperature regulator (thermostat) nor AC. Bed linens too warm for summer. Woke often thru the night sweating! Open windows helped along with sleeping only under the light quilt draped over the end of the bed. Also, inadequate noise insulation. Could hear neighbor coughing & using the toilet including at night to awaken us!
Convenient location . Comfy beds. Nice bathroom & decorating. Excellent breakfast.

Parking and breakfast were each a short distance away from our accommodation, however this did not pose such a problem as first thought it might… breakfast was excellent at the Fairview Hotel, and the only real inconvenience with parking was having to walk down after 6:30 pm (or before 8:30 am) to purchase the €3 all-day parking pass.
Very spacious and comfortable, apartment is on ground floor, decorated in a way that ‘feels like home’, location was perfect for walking in a wonderful part of town, and close for easy driving to other nearby attractions. The late night receptionist at Fairview Hotel was especially friendly and very helpful at checking us in nicely!

It’s a B&B but our rate didn’t include the breakfast. It was quite noisy, you could hear the other guests in their rooms, and each morning around 7.30am we were woken by other guests due to this with them being up and out early.
Great location in Killarney. Was walking distance to the main town. Room was a good size and comfortable.
