Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaWe loved our stay, although a few things would be convenient additions. In the bathroom, more shelving for toiletries and a flat surface of some kind, as well as additional towel bars or hooks. Better access to plugs in the room for all of the devices we are charging these days would also be helpful.
Location was perfect! Right in the center of downtown Kenmare. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was right above the pub, but we heard no noise at all from below. The bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends

As we were checking in they told us there was no room available and they offered us house a short drive out of town NOT in town as reserved. The house was fine and we’ll appointed but without even a tea bag….

United KingdomUnfortunately there was a real lack of engagement & customer service from the owner & staff. Little or no greeting upon arrival, breakfast was a sullen affair, and seemed to be disorganised with no apology for poor service. no good morning greeting, no cheery hello or goodbye, how is your stay, are you enjoying your holiday etc. The staff appear to have no interest in their guests whatsoever, we are treated as yet another faceless tourist passing through a busy establishment. With a bit more effort and enthusiasm from the staff this could have been a top scoring review as everything else was great. What a shame, but feel it was poor and definitely did not provide the expected Irish welcome experience.
location, accommodation & on site entertainment were excellent. Rooms are well equipped, comfy beds, quality bedding, towels etc, clean, nice decor.

United States of AmericaThere was live music the evening that we stayed. Unfortunately, it was quite loud in the rooms. They should probably turn down the volume since the music lasts long into the evening.
The rooms were a nice size and very clean.

United States of AmericaQuite a few stairs to climb if your room is on the top floor. If you are a light sleeper, the noise from the pub and the street will be a problem.
Spacious accommodations. Perfect location to explore Kenmare. Everything is working walking distance. They have a live band in the evenings. Good food at restaurant. Friendly staff.
