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...).

IrelandHostess was really fantastic. Even down to the little things like answering the door straight away were fantastic. Offered us tea or coffee when we came in. Handed us a key and let us come and go from the house as we pleased. Breakfast was brilliant. Irish breakfast with tea and coffee provided, with orange juice self served. Location is about 15 minutes from kilkenny city but it is a nice and interesting drive in and out of the city. Perfect for a quick one night stay.

United KingdomThese are some suggestions and should not be in any way misconstrued as criticisms. Although Bridget made us a cup of tea and a choice of cakes on arrival, which was lovely (and I am sure she would make us one anytime we asked), perhaps a ‘help yourself’ tea/coffee counter in the common/living room could be laid out so we did not have to rely on Bridget. We enjoyed the breakfast but maybe a choice of mushrooms/tomatoes/baked beans could be added. Although there are maps of Kilkenny in the hallway table, more leaflets from the Kilkenny tourist centre could be displayed.
We enjoyed our 3 nights stay. This well-presented B&B with traditional décor is in Freshford, a quiet location in the countryside about 17minutes drive to Kilkenny. There are ample parking spaces on the driveway. Bridget, our lovely friendly host suggested a 2 mile walk round the area of the B&B, which was scenic and had some interesting landmarks. Should you wish to visit Kilkenny, Bridget can recommend some free parking streets there. The room was clean and comfortable. A nice touch was a bottle of water and glasses in the room. There is also an electric blanket on the bed. Good breakfast, the soda bread was delicious, light and fresh.

United KingdomThe room was a little on the colder side when we got there, but eventually central heating caught up & with a use of the electric blanket that was provided, we had a cosy night. The beds were quite soft and one of the mattresses was a little inclined to one side. Once we got used to it, we still got a good night sleep so it definitely wasn't a deal breaker. Would happily stay again if in the area. .
Such a lovely B&B with very warm and welcoming host. Great location, short drive from Kilkenny and easy to find with just google maps too. Place was nicely decorated and had very welcoming living room space for guests. The host kindly made us warm cuppa since it was quite a rainy cold day and there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast was just right, with amazing homemade soda bread.
