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.).

United StatesNo complaints; it was amazing and I loved it.
I had made a special request months earlier that was accommodated upon arrival without even having to ask about it. Breakfast was home cooked and delicious every day. There was a fridge in the house that guests could use which was very valuable to us. (Also it had ice trays with ice in them!!!) Free water bottles each day. These sound like little things, but they were very much appreciated. Greta and her husband were just as wonderful as all the other reviews mentioned. Genuine and lovely. I was very surprised and honored to get to meet Billy during my stay. IYKYK. This was one of the best places I have EVER stayed based on extreme cleanliness and the welcoming atmosphere. It's located in a very quiet neighborhood only a few minutes walk to the busy town where every restaurant is excellent. The ring of Kerry is minutes away by car with stunning views you'll never forget. I could go on and on. If I return to Ireland, I'll definitely spend more time in the Killarney area, and Algret House will be my #1 pick. (Greta, if you read this, please tell Billy I said hi!)

HungaryThere was nothing like that.
Greta was a very lovely and kind host. We really liked her. Nice cosy little room, we had everything what we need :) highly recommended :) Location is good, as city center with couple of pubs is only 10 minutes walk :) Good place to stay if you want to visit Kerry/Dingle peninsula and Killarney National Park.

United StatesRoom itself was a bit cramped, especially the bathroom but it was clean and well taken care of. I'd hardly call it a con, just a consideration. Additionally there was no window in the bathroom and the bedroom one only opened a wee bit so in the summer it's a bit warmer but the town itself cools down at night.
Greta is the star of this property. Welcome home from Grandma is how we were greeted. She clearly takes great pride in seeing to every detail. It's clean and well taken care of. Breakfast was well done and yes the cherry scones she makes are worthy of the reviews. It is on a quiet street and a 10 minute walk to downtown. She was very communicative via this app and incredibly friendly. Our room also had a kettle, tea and coffee, a small desk, two nightstands, a vanity desk and built in wardrobe. We didn't use the tv but there was a small one. There was also a common lounge that doubled as the breakfast dining area. She also provided a small fridge for guests to use which we appreciated.

United StatesIt took some time to get the TV to work, but that’s not what makes a BnB, right?
Greta was so incredibly warm and welcoming! The shared spaces and the room were spotless and clean. The room was spacious, with a decent sized bathroom. The inclusion of a fan for our use was very much appreciated, and the coffee/tea facilities in the room were a nice touch. Walkable to town and VERY quiet neighborhood. Breakfast was outstanding!

Just a few blocks from the city center, which was ideal to avoid the traffic and crowds but easy quick walk into town. Breakfast was great and available hours were very accommodating.

The location, 5 min walk from the National Park and 8 to the high street and all the action but quiet for sleeping. Can't recommend mote highly.

United KingdomGreta, the host, is one of the loveliest, kindest people you'll ever have the pleasure to meet! I felt like she was my "Irish nan" for three days. The cooked-to-order breakfast was delicious, and the cherry scones were out of this world! The room was very clean and bright, with a kettle and tea and coffee. The wifi worked well. The location is very quiet, yet only a quick seven-minute walk away from the town center and the bus / train. The town of Killarney is an excellent gateway to southwest Ireland. Three days were not enough, and I'd love to come back for a longer stay.
