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...).

IrelandDefinitely not enough space for four adults.Tiny bedrooms, no chairs apart from 2 person sofa to sit down and 2 bar stools. The apartment was clean, however there was a strange, unpleasant smell in the apartment.
Location was great ,2 minute drive to Kerry Cliffs . Check in process easy to follow.

SpainCould provide some basics like salt & pepper, oil, coffee, tea, washing tablets, more toilet paper (2 for 4 wasn't enough), napkins, bed sheets were very old. For what we paid we felt it wasn't worth it. Other places even gave us muffins, biscuits, milk and fruits... There's no supermarkets around, so you rely on these I comment before. The sofa was very uncomfortable, not family friendly.. Not enough hangers for wet towels also.

United StatesOne of the beds smelled of urine and was damp. The showers are poorly designed such that water floods the entire bathroom. A longer shower curtain could fix that, or raised tiles along the shower entrance. More hooks would be useful in the bathroom and bedrooms.
Host was responsive to a late night message and accommodated our concerns with the property quickly.

United KingdomWe had trouble finding the apt as it wasn't clear where the used car place was. We did eventually spot the Portmagee Village Apartments sign and investigated that property but could not see any number on the door and didn't spot the lockbox. Eventually we pulled up at the house next to the used cars and the owners son confirmed that we had been at the right place. We had seen a sign for a Car Sales place which we mistook for the used car place mentioned in the directions. Making the distinction clear would have helped and placing Apt Numbers on the front door and the lock boxes would have helped. We still hadn't received the code by 4 and I had to remind the owner.
Breakfast not included. Good location for restaurants and ferry to Skelligs Compact but well thought out and finding tea and coffee supplied was a plus.

NetherlandsThe apartment was very small. There was no living room, only a kitchen and two small bedrooms. There was no chair to put your clothes on, only the floor. There was no place to put your toileteries, only the floor, which was easily flooded because of the shower curtain being too short. There was no floor wiper nor a bath mat to dry the wet floor. There was no coffee maker.
Everything was brand new and clean. The owner was friendly and flexible to allow an early check in. Plenty parking space. Perfect location. Wifi worked well.

United KingdomNo downsides we can think of. Only maybe the seating area. It was a bit small for four people to relax. The sofa was big enough for three at a squeeze, and there were two stools.
Not much to say, really. It was exactly as expected. Two good-sized rooms with double beds, a kitchen area, and a seating area. You share the building with another apartment and use the same front door, but we didn't meet them at all. We went on a Skellig Michael landing tour, and they graciously allowed us to leave our car there. It was a five-minute walk to where you meet the skippers. There's also amazing food a four- to five-minute walk away.

FinlandWe were two couples, and the apartment is (too) small for four adults, especially as the weather was quite rainy while we stayed (our trip to Skellig Michael was cancelled due to rough weather). There is only a sofa and a high table with two stools, so no actual dining nor relaxing opportunity for four. Also cooking utensils are very basic, e.g. no scissors available
Great location in the Portmagee village, within short walking distance to the harbor and restaurants. Very bright and clean apartment.

United KingdomWe had a great time in Portmagee and the surrounding area. The apartment is in the perfect location to be walking distance (2 minutes) to the pub/restaurants in town while also being close to all of the sights and walks around. We also travelled to nearby towns over on Valentia Island and also over the other side of the Kerry Cliffs. There is a nice view from the kitchen window down onto the bay. And you’re very near the Skelligs!

United KingdomThe only problem was the weather was very bad and the wind was quite scary during the evening and the night. Something was banging quite a lot outside which scared the family. We had a breakage doing our stay and it was very hard to get hold of the Host as he was very busy,
Everything was brand new, which I did not expect at all and felt very spoilt. After a previous booking fell through three days before we were due to stay there, I felt very blessed found this property in time. It was fairly expensive in terms of what I'd planned to spend, but facilities were great and it was in a good location. Regarding the breakage, at check out i spoke to him in person and we quickly worked out me paying for a replacement.
