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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

AustraliaThe only toilet was upstairs in the ensuite but not a big issue.
The property was extremely well appointed, clean and comfortable. Nick was extremely helpful and generous including leaving us some good quality, tasty snacks. It was a perfect location to explore the ring of Beara.

United StatesThe property was beautiful and very serene, yet mere minutes to Kenmare. At night you could hear the river flowing behind the property and that was heavenly. It was comfortable and well appointed with everything you need. We were able to easily cook our own meals. Nick also left us a very nice welcome of bread, butter, jam and chocolate! As hosts, Nick and Donal were gracious and helpful in every way. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property to others and hope to return in the future!

Everything plus what one can expect were there plus so much more. It was more than an equipped unit it had everything plus - foodstuffs, coffee/teas/hot chocolate and in the bathroom everything plus more. We were not only welcomed in person by our hosts but there was bread, jam, butter, Guinness x 2!!! awaiting our arrival. We were constantly sent Wapp info on recommendations as to where we should go (drive), what we should go and see, use as stopovers, etc. Best ever stay and I have visited 40 countries to date ..... should know! Highly recommended but do make it multiple nights - you'll never be sorry!

IrelandCan’t think of anything.
Beautiful rural setting by the river, yet just a few minutes from Kenmare town. The accommodation is high class, well furnished, comfortable beds and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with the essentials for a short stay (becoming increasingly rare in self-catering!). Scrupulously clean. Nick was a perfect host - attentive but discreet - and very thoughtful. He even brought treats for our 2 dogs.

GermanyAbsolutely nothing to complain about!
It is a spacious accommodation in a quiet location a short walk from Kenmare town centre. Nick and Dólan keep it spotless clean and care for all needs, they are very helpful and really, really nice guys with a good sense of humour. As we were on the road all day, we had too less time to chat with them unfortunately. Nick provided us with information about what to do on Beara Peninsula etc. The bed is super comfy and there’s a back terrace facing River Sheen. We definitely recommend the Kingfisher Riverside Retreat.

Nick was such a great host, really good communication and the place itself is just a sheer definition of serenity, so relaxing, with lovely wee touches and absolutely spotless. The birds songs in the morning, the river sounds, the sunshine - it just couldn't be more perfect! Oh, and it's dog friendly so ideal if you're bringing your four legged family member with you!
