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...).

Marie greeted us on arrival and went above and beyond. Provided eggs and bread for us to cook for our breakfasts. Short walk to spectacular Cliffs of Kerry and free passes for us. Not only friendly cat and dogs but got to pat and hold baby lamb. We had a great time here

GermanyThe apartment is very well located at the Cliffs of Kerry and only a 5 min drive away from Portmagee and Valentia Island. The tickets for the Cliffs were included in the booking. The host is super friendly and provided us with a breakfast of bread, eggs, milk, coffee, tea and everything else we needed. We had a very pleasant stay in the apartment and enjoyed our trip through Kerry.

United StatesThe bluebell rose was super cute and very cozy. You can enjoy a coffee and watch the sunset over the beautiful landscapes. It's a 5-minute walk to the cliff, so if you get up early, you will have the cliff for yourself and take good pictures. The host was kind, helpful, and nice.

United StatesProperty is best visited if you have a car due to the distance into town (Not within walking distance of food/shopping). Not much storage space inside if you bring large luggage, but is easily workable.
Got to pet all the animals! Beautiful little space with an amazing view. Very short walk to the Kerry Cliffs and we were given free passes to go. Reserved parking spot ensured we always had an easy place to park. The set up is very similar to a mother-in-law suite. Would stay here again.

We liked everything about the property—location, facilities, parking, comfort, etc. But the best part of our stay was meeting Marie! She is very kind, friendly and warm. She even made sure we had snacks and breakfast items available in the room. We highly recommend staying at Skellig View Bluebell Rose & Kerry Cliffs and hope to return again ourselves. Delightful stay!

NetherlandsIt's a very small bedroom and a very small kitchen. There are a double and a single bed, but it really wouldn't fit 3 people comfortably, in my opinion. You'd be tripping over each other and have nowhere to put your bags. The kitchen has 2 burners, a small oven, a small fridge, a microwave and a toaster, but very little actual space. The bathroom is also tiny. It was fine for two of us for one night, but I wouldn't want to use such a small place for any length of time.
We chose the location rather randomly but it turned out to be very convenient to the things we wanted to see and do. It's about 2 km from Portmagee, and the Cliffs of Kerry attraction is walking distance. It was very quiet. It was nice that a bit of breakfast is provided: we got - for 2 of us - 4 pieces of bread, 2 eggs, some butter and jam, as well as tea and biscuits.
