Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe owners are so friendly! They gave us a run down of the area and where to eat dinner. The apartment itself is cozy with everything you need. It worked great for three adults with room to lounge, eat breakfast, and still have our own space. It's in a quiet location about five minutes drive from the town.

United KingdomIt is located 2KM out of Portmagee. If you haven't a car it could be an issue. However I managed to get to town very easily by hitchiking.
Absolutely everything! The flat was very comfortable. The owner was so helpful! She was extremely reactive to any request I had and was very good in communicating with me. I would highly recommend this place!

Ideal location for exploring, with the apartment just a five-minute drive from Portmagee and Valentia Island. The apartment was spacious, cozy, and fully equipped with all the essentials. Check-in with Paula was effortless, and Nathalie gave us a warm welcome, showing us around. The jacuzzi was the perfect finishing touch to an already amazing stay. We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Paula!

United StatesThe description of the property and facilities was a little misleading. The 2 bedroom amenities include a hot tub and also a washer. We'd planned to use the washing machine as this was several days into our trip, but were told on arrival that the unit does not have a washing machine. The cost to do our laundry was 15 euros. That was fine, but not what we expected or planned on. We did opt to pay for a load of laundry to be done and were told it would be brought back to us "later". By 11pm we'd still not received our laundry and when I texted to see when we could expect it, I was told that it had been dropped off at our door. No knock or notice to us. We had not gone to eat as we were waiting for our laundry. So no dinner that night. We'd also been looking forward to a soak in the hot tub, but nothing was said to us on arrival. We found out later that we needed to reserve the hot tub and there was also a charge for this. The assistant that met us with the key and took our laundry didn't speak very good English, so I think this was all just a matter of lack of communication. Otherwise, the place was nice. I suggested to Paula that to update her booking information on the site would be very helpful.
The location was nice, and the apartment was large, comfortable and clean. We didn't get to meet Paula, but she had someone meet us as we arrived and she took good care of us.
