How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It would be nice if breakfast was included in the room price. Nothing else really.
Fantastic staff, restaurant, check in and bar. Very friendly and professional. The bar manager kindly phoned a taxi for us and then saw we were still waiting outside. He again phoned the taxi for an update and walked out to update us on its arrival time. Location is just off the bypass road with lots of secure parking Lovely home-made food.

It's under renovation so the hallways are a little messy, but it wasn't a bother.
A "classic" inn next to the main road. Close to city center. A bigger bar and restaurant than we thought. The staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were adequate. We only spent one night there. Everything was fine.

What we werent aware of when booking was that the place was undergoing renovations and construction which meant carpets in hallways were missing and some lights only had wires instead of fittings; again nothing dangerous but a little unsightly. Our room itself was clearly not 100% finished, we noted that the bathroom door was sticking but when we came back later that afternoon someone had sanded the edge of the door and left the sawdust and waste on the floor. The shower seemed to leak on the door/screen and then it didnt so not sure if that was looked at as well. Finally the extractor seemed to bring in a smell of cigarette smoke; not sure if the outlet was above a common smoking place outside but it was something that we never go to the bottom of! Otherwise the bed was really comfortable, the room was warm and clean. The housekeeping visited daily to spruce the room and tidy. One other thing was the TV; although we didnt use it much at all, we couldnt seem to get a reliable channel or at least one that was watchable. Am sure this is on their list to complete as part of the refurb
The Glendine has all the feeling of a traditional pub but very much on a larger scale. There are dining rooms here, there and pretty much everywhere which is not a ciriticism but finding a quiet place to sit can prove a little challenging. The food and drink were of a really good standard and we had breakfast on one morning and an afternoon meal on another. Good selection and hearty food.

The room was a little dated. You could hear absolutely everything in the room next to us. But, we weren't too bothered by it. They are currently doing some renovations.
Great value for money, food was really nice, great selection of drinks at the bar. Will definitely be back.

Small bit far out from Centre so would need a car taxi or bus. We were only staying one night so did not affect us. They were doing construction work when we were there so was a bit rough lookin on way to bedrooms but this looked like it would be sorted soon.
Room seemed to have been done up recently. very clean and bed was very confrontable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very tasty and lots of it. We had a meal the evening on arrival and was very good and plenty of food.

The hotel is old style and feels old.
I booked a family room. The room had one twin bed and 2 single beds and was big enough to accommodate family of 4. The breakfast is good with full Irish breakfast having a lot of items on the spread. Overall the stay was good. There are not many other choices for lunch and dinner near by. either its a 10 mins drive or 3 km walk to the heart of Kilkenny where you will have variety of options.
