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.).

The location of this property is brilliant, Lucy greeted us on arrival. She is friendly and helpful and a lovely person. Our breakfast was first class. A menu with a plenty options. Also the best breakfast buffet I’ve seen. The twin room we had was one of the best we have ever stayed in. Large with plenty of windows. I absolutely loved this guest house.

We loved everything about our stay here. Lucy and the staff were so accommodating, they even washed and dried some suit trousers in an emergency situation. She also went above and beyond to help us with taxis and local info. Incredible breakfast, lovely beds, super clean and the most welcoming stay you could have asked for. If we ever travel to that part of the world again, there's only one place we'd stay and it's here. Thank you, Lucy!

Exceeded all expectations! The place is well-maintained, we had a beautiful vintage-style room with a king-size bed. All the furniture looked so solid and like new. The bathroom was spotless! And next morning you wake up to an amazing breakfast - you get a menu with roughly great 7 meals to choose from + a selection of freshly baked pastries AND cakes AND fruit. It felt like the owner went an extra mile with everything and put so much love into this place - starting from lovely dish sets, ending with overall great level or service and cleanness. Typically we like to explore different places to stay when traveling around Ireland, but I would definitely book this place when we come back to Kenmare.

United StatesI liked every thing!!
Upon entering the front door, everything about this property said “welcome”!!! It is beautifully decorated, rich rugs and wooden floors, large rooms with comfortable beds, tea, coffee and fruit available all day. Breakfast is the best we’ve had in Ireland; choice of scones, whipped cream and jam, eggs and smoked salmon, pancakes and French toast, avocado toast all prepared by Lucy and her assistant. Lucy and her mother are delightful, and expressed interest in the guests travel- made helpful suggestions about where to visit. I’d give this place 10 +++++++ if that were available!

IrelandSome rooms could use a pedestal fan for warmer nights. We had a fan in one room but not the other two.
Excellent downtown location in Kenmare, in the heart of the the quaint little town. Plenty of free parking close by. The hostess was very charming and a wonderful cook, who did breakfast made to order with an excellent array of breakfast options. The hostess was happy to share information about day tours and locations to visit, and we definitely enjoyed our stay at the very nicely decorated B&B with comfortable rooms and bathrooms. We would definitely stay at Bridgestreet Townhouse if we visit Kenmare again. Keep in mind the location is very central so you are bound to hear some street noise early in the evening, but that did not keep us from enjoying a good night's sleep for our three nights there.
