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):
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.).

SwitzerlandWe had such a lovely experience at this B&B in Tralee. The host went above and beyond, even collecting my daughter and her boyfriend from the train station and later dropping them off at a wedding in Ballyseede Castle. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so chatty – it felt like staying with family. A truly personal touch that made out stay extra special.

Everything. We just liked everything. The host was really friendly and helpful. She was great to talk to and provided some information that helped us have a better experience on our first time in Ireland. The tip about the Cliffs of Moher for example. She offered to cook some breakfast for a small fee, which we were not too sure about at first, but we decided: why not? That was the right decision. The full Irish breakfast was great. The eggs, the black pudding, bacon, fruits, bread, coffee, yogurt, etc. Money well invested. The room was clean and of great size. We were able to open our luggage without issues and have plenty of room to spare to move about. The bathroom was also of decent size. Big windows to let the air in.

ItalyThe property is located in the residential area of Tralee, a 15-minute walk from the city center. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. However, the real added value of the property is the owner, who makes you feel truly at home. Highly recommended!

United KingdomNothing (well maybe the walk up the hill coming back from Tralee town centre after a great evening meal and a couple of pints of Guinness listening to some Irish songs 😬🤣)
On arrival at the property we knew we were in for a treat as the home was very beautiful. We were welcomed into their home and felt very much at ease immediately... (the staircase alone was gorgeous)... Our room(twin)certainly didn't disappoint with lovely touches such as bottled water and toiletries and was clean and comfortable... This was stopover number 4 on our MP3 tour of the W-A-W and every time our hosts and homes have surpassed the last... We didn't initially book breakfast as we knew we had some long days ahead but were given the opportunity of tea/coffee and toast for no extra charges..or..a full breakfast for a very reasonable 10 euros and boy are we glad we did, fresh fruit and yoghurt, full Irish breakfast, tea, coffee,toast and juice to die for... We didn't get to meet Colm but were told plenty of stories of family times and we felt very much at home... We will most definitely return to stay again but for more than the single night next time... thanks for everything 🤗
