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...).

Friendly welcome from hosts Martin and Leonie. Quiet and off the main road. There are no very local facilities, which didn't bother me but might be a problem for others. You need to travel to Portmagee or Cahirsiveen for shopping, restaurants etc. There is a fridge in the room.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night stay. It was a very peaceful and quiet place, with a beautiful view of Valentia Island. The house is very impressive and sits in a stunning location. The hosts (Martin and Leonie) were exceptionally friendly and thoughtful. I was a solo traveller and they made me feel very welcome. They were very interesting to talk to and were very helpful in recommending nearby places of interest. My room was very big with useful amenities (television, fridge, excellent internet). I highly recommend Valentia View and look forward to returning.

AustraliaThe only thing I didn't like..... leaving:(
Loved the peaceful location and the beautiful view. Loved the pigs, goats, choosing and birds! Leonie and Martin are wonderful hosts and very warm and welcoming. My room (1) was massive and so was the bathroom. I loved having a bath at the end of a long day seeing the sights. There was even bubble bath! It was handy to also have a fridge. I could have stayed a week as there's a lot to see in the area and some fantastic country drives.

ArmeniaLocated just in a very picturesque place just near the forest with sea view. My room was big with fridge, kettle, tea, coffee, milk and sugar provided. The bathroom was very big again (in Ireland I had small room and bathroom before arriving to Valentia View). The hosts - Martin and Leonie - were extremely helpful and very nice people. Upon my arrival Leonie helped with taxi arrangements to take me to Portmagee. Side note - The drivers are very honest and never cheat the tourists. We did have a very great conversation during my last day before the departure. Definitely will stay there again.

IrelandThe hosts, Martin and Leonie, were very hospitable and made us feel very warm and welcome. The location was perfect as it was very close to the boat trip from Portmagee. Though there was no breakfast (which was made very clear at the time of booking) they provided tea and coffee as well as milk in the fridge. They also directed us to where we can get breakfast. The room and bathroom was extremely clean and the surroundings were well maintained. We had a great time and will go back there on our next trip to Kerry.

United StatesWhile I was looking forward to seeing the animals on the property, I wish I could have spoke to the owners more as some of their birds looked a bit ill unfortunately, and would have loved to know what might have been causing it.
I loved the accommodating nature of the hosts, the cleanliness and facilities of my room, and the views out across the water!
