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.).

United KingdomThe staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, offering a great breakfast, and providing a lift to the local restaurant or to the next nearby village for dinner. The house had a very homely feel overall, and everyone went out of their way to make you feel welcomed from the start.

AustraliaNothing. Everything was first-rate.
A lovely, well-appointed house, and a spotlessly clean large bedroom with a great sea view. A terrific bathroom and shower, and a very comfortable bed. Marion and Mourty are exceptional and very friendly hosts who couldn't do enough for their guests. They booked us into a fabulous local restaurant for dinner and insisted on making us tea with delicious home-made cake when we arrived. They also served an amazing breakfast with many choices to suit every taste. Definitely one of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed in. And very good value too. Highly recommended - 10 out of ten.

Lovely place to stay, Morty & Marian really treat you like family with incredible hospitality. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious! Had a great cycling trip, their location is very convenient to many amazing rides on and off of the Ring of Kerry & Ring of Beara. Easy access to Kenmare, and walking distance to a great local pub.

NetherlandsCan't think of anything except the slightly creaking bathroom floor that could wake up my wife during the night (but didn't).
Cosy, clean, comfortable. But above all Morty and Marian are so friendly, helpfull and warm that you start to doubt about your own rushy life, impatience and attitude towards others... wish we could put both of them with us in a suitcase and take them back home (as our new neighbours). Location is top notch for exploring areas like Kerry and beyond. Breakfast is restaurant-worthy and no request is too much. The B&B is run very professional, without losing the personal touch.

CanadaThat we only had one night to share together!
Morthy & Marian are first class people! An authentic Irish experience can be had here, from haute cuisine (Marion) and her delectable home made Jam et al, and the fresh Salmon she prepares for guests, to Morthy’s gracious and charming nature and character and gentlemanly ways! We sat by the fire (peat burning) and while away the evening with people who are as warm as the Irish summer day is long! Murthy and his avuncular ways harken back to a kinder, gentler time when Craig was good and the home was a man’s haven! Together Morthy and Mariann make a formidable team (Sarah added to the evening’s character) and all in all a. Better time could. It be had bar none! Breakfast was delectable and nobody recites short shrift at Marian’s table! The trad Irish breakfast will carry you throug the Ring of Kerry: Beara Peninsula, Moll’s Gap ir wherever your fancy takes! One of the best parts of our trip was the time shared with this family in abode laughing and learning about each other and speaking of Ireland! There are other B&B’s to be sure but they don’t have Morthy and Marian and if for that reason alone, and yet there are many others including the wild setting minutes from Kenmare with horses enjoying the surrounds beside their home! Come for the beauty of Ireland at its most sublime and then stay and make merry with a lovely couple - find your own pot of gold at this happy home! The food will tickle your tastebuds and the family will touch your heart! The water was hotter than other homes we stayed at - the breakfast tastier / the company more grand and the night sky sparkled! Even in the absence of sunshine or rain on this cloudy day, a double rainbow of happiness encompasses this warm, happy and loving abode! If you don’t enjoy yourself here you probably shouldn’t have come to Ireland!

IrelandNeither of us have any complaints, we really enjoyed everything about our stay at Oakfield. We would highly recommend anyone visiting the Kenmare area to stay here if they get a chance!
My aunt and I were on a 3 night, 4 day trip to the west coast and had our accommodations booked for all nights except for the last one. We were very fortunate to come across Oakfield! Mariane, one of our hosts, recommended a wonderful place for dinner before we arrived at the B&B: Sailor's Bar & Restaurant, a locally-owned place just a minute away from Oakfield. It was the best meal we had the whole trip! From the moment we walked through the door at Oakfield, we felt at home. We were greeted by both Mariane and Morty, as well as their daughter, Anne Marie, and offered a tea or coffee as we came in. Our room was clean and cozy, the sheets and the towels were so soft and clean - everything was just spotless. We both slept very comfortably, as if we were at home. The breakfast the next morning was so delicious!! There was an assortment of cereals, yogurts, and fruit juices to start with, then they had a menu of hot breakfasts available to order, including a full, traditional Irish breakfast. The hot meals came with toast and fresh, homemade brown bread. Mariane, one of our hosts, also had delicious, homemade marmalade. I ordered the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and my aunt and I both enjoyed the salmon so much, we inquired where it came from. Morty let us know that it was from a local fisherman down the road and when we expressed interest in buying some, he placed an order for us and gave us directions on where to pick it up. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!
