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...).

AustraliaNothing.
Felt homely, loved the feeling the moment we walked in. Loved how there was milk, orange juice, butter and home made loaf for us on our arrival. Loved the little fire 🔥 and the wood supplied. The owners have obviously travelled and were thoughtful to a travelers needs, clothes horse, washing powder etc. there is only one thing that I could suggest is a small microwave for when we felt like enjoying a quite night in with a pre made meal and a bottle of wine. Still give it five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 oh love the view from the couch while sipping on my wine.

excellent accommodation just outside Kenmare - perfect location for my partner taking part in the Lost Sheep half Iron Man this weekend. comfortable, clean and cosy ✨️ Fresh scones, milk, butter jam and fresh orange juice was very welcome after 5 hours on the road! Everything was perfect 👌 As a fellow host I was super impressed and even came away with a few ideas for my own properties. Thank you Geraldine 😊 we hope to return and will most definitely recommend your property to others 😊

New ZealandAbsolutely nothing - except we wished we had stayed longer!
This is a superb barn conversion done in 2023. Someone has given a lot of thought not o ly about the layout and finish bilut also the decor. The apartment is just lovely, great kitchen, all the appliances you could ask for (except microwave). The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is quite luxurious. Secure parking provided and the location is ideal for exploring both the Ring of Kerry but also Kenmare. We could find no fault with the apartment, and given how expensive Ireland is, this property is exceptional value for money. We will be back for sure.

United KingdomWiFi was not very good when another couple arrived downstairs. TV picture kept freezing but didn’t affect our stay or stop us returning. Didn’t see the owner at all but communication was great though booking.com.
Great apartment, a little out of kenmare but taxi was reasonable. Beautifully decorated with everything you need for a short stay. Some lovely scones with jam on arrival which were delicious. Amazing view from the lounge to relax in, lovely shower and very spacious bathroom.

SpainOnly additional touch (not a negative) would be to have some champu/gel dispensers available to make the stay even smoother. Instructions to arrive are ok but a small sign at the property entry would help a bit for the initial arrival.
This is a great property,, super clean all around and designed to make you feel cozy and comfortable. Bed very very comfy, all amenities you can need with high attention to detail leaving extra stuff such as milk, coffee or tea( but also not so common ones and super appreciated like salt, oil, napkins and even a welcome cake!!). The views and setting of the apartment is great for chilling and only 4 min drive from Kenmare bars and restaurants. This is an amazing place to stay when visiting the area

United StatesThere was nothing we didn't like. We misunderstood the advert and assumed shower gel and shampoo would be among the complimentary toiletries - the host quickly clarified, in time for us to go to the supermarket and get what we needed.
We were a couple with a rental car. For us the location and apartment was excellent. Short drive to Aldi and Lidl, into town for restaurants, beautiful and quiet location. It was an excellent base for us to do our driving trips to sight see around that region in Ireland - ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher etc. The apartment was exactly as described, and we had quick and easy access to supermarkets to get small items for the stay. We appreciated the beverages and snack left as a welcome.

AustraliaNo toiletries, or tissue box provided. The odd bugs, but it's next to a farm after all.
The decor was light, spacious and contemporary. The brownies left for us were delicious. Loved the added touch of having a potbelly fireplace. The shower was excellent. The bed was firm but comfortable. The view from the apartment was perfect, even with the next door cow mooing while the vet checked her out. Location was 3 km from Kenmare town centre with lots of options for eating out. Dinner at No 35 Kenmare was excellent.

United StatesA couple of things for even better improvement. There wasn't a microwave in the room. We struggled with power outlets as our plug that worked all over the rest of Ireland would not plug into the outlets no matter how hard we tried.
Lovely place to stay in the country but close to Kenmare. Very clean and modern with warm touches. Loved the wood burning stove fireplace with the provided wood and matches. The fruit loaf welcome gift was a nice touch as well. Apartment 2 is upstairs with a wonderful view out of the picture windows.
