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):
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.
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.).

GermanyThe Stay with Theresa and Eugene was magnificent. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious and they even provided Infomaterial on what you can do in the area. We can greatly recommend that you stay with them. The location is also very nice if you want to visit the Ring of Kerry or Dingle.

IrelandWayside is an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived the hosts were warm and welcoming making me feel right at home after a day exploring and hiking through the wonderful Gap of Dunloe. The property is beautifully maintained with stunning views. Rooms are so clean and comfortable. Beds are top notch and pillows are superb quality. Really lucky to find this spot on my travels! Not to mention the traditional Irish breakfast with brown bread is a winner. Theresa and Eugene couldn’t be more helpful and I would highly recommend wayside. Thanks for an unforgettable stay. Can’t wait to return.

GermanyI had a really wonderful stay at Theresa’s B&B. Every morning started with a warm welcome and a delicious breakfast – the pancakes with fresh fruit were especially good. My room was comfortable and just a short walk from the beautiful Gap of Dunloe, which made it easy to explore the area on foot. The whole place is tastefully decorated and incredibly quiet – perfect for relaxing. As I was traveling alone, I really appreciated that Theresa took the time to sit with me and have a chat. She's a kind and thoughtful host who clearly cares about her guests. I felt very well taken care of and would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a peaceful and friendly place to unwind. Thank you, Theresa!

United KingdomTheresa & Eugene’s fine B&B is the ideal base for the Gap of Dunloe. I stayed with them for three nights. On arrival I was greeted warmly and Theresa made me a cup of tea. Just what I needed after a 6 hour drive! The famous Kate Kearney’s bar restaurant is fifteen minutes’ walk from the Wayside; Theresa very kindly offered me a lift, though I opted to walk for the exercise. Be careful on the road because there’s no footpath. Breakfast comprises a good choice of the full Irish breakfast (sausages, rashers, tomato, fried egg, black pudding, white pudding, toast. Or alternatively scrambled eggs and smoked salmon; or even baked beans on toast. I always had my good pot of Kerry tea. And fruit juice. I breakfasted at 8am. I stayed in Bedroom Four, and found the bed comfortable. My room had a shower and a wash hand basin. Everything was clean, neat and tidy. Killarney really is a wonderful place - so much to see and do.

IndiaI had a wonderful stay at Wayside B&B. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night after a day of exploring. The hosts were warm and welcoming, truly going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh, home-cooked breakfast. The location was excellent, offering easy access to nearby attractions while still being peacefully quiet.

United KingdomHomely b&b right at the foot of the gap on dunloe. Kate kearneys traditional resturant and live music every night is a short way up the road towards the gap of dunloe. Our room was comfortable and Theresa was an amazing host ensuring our stay was perfect. Theresa is filled with local knowledge and advice for your stay wether it is sight seeing or hiking around the local mountains. Theresa makes a wonderful breakfast each morning. We couldn't fault our stay in Theresa and Eugene's home, we felt very welcome and comfortable and would highly recommend.

A wonderful traditional B&B with outstanding hospitality. Theresa was a lovely host, providing tea and biscuits on arrival, giving great suggestions for local activities and serving wonderful breakfasts with her husband. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is great, with the Gap of Dunloe just down the road and the property has easy access to the Ring of Kerry and Dingle peninsula drives.

AustraliaWe stayed in the twin room where the shower was in the bedroom area which was a little strange for us - pillows where very hard and need to be replaced. there was a house rules sign that no washing was to be done in the rooms, where we prefer to be able to wash out our smalls as required.
Host was very hospitable and even had tea with us on our arrival. Close to walking tracks and live Trad music pub which plays each evening. Also a lovely quite area. Car parking on property was available. Crepes for breakfast were delicious.
