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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

IrelandAbsolutely nothing, everything was to PERFECTION! We loved the apartment, its decor, comfort, provisions, cleanliness and the "on hands owner ( always there for us)!. Top class!
Location was perfect for us, lovely in the countryside, quiet and close to amenities. The owner was very helpful and generous with breakfast and everything else. He gave us all the information we needed regarding restaurants and other amenities.

IrelandThe only thing that was missing was Wi-Fi in the lodge. Otherwise fantastic overall!
We had a very pleasant stay. Bryan was a great host and the lodge was perfect. It had everything you need, was very comfortable and the addition of the breakfasts was a very nice touch. The gardens made for a nice walk and overall the grounds were gorgeous. Highly recommend for a short break and the area is handy for a short drive into Kilkenny city. 5 Stars!

GermanyWhy the gardens and the orchards are not mentioned when you book the place is something we can´t understand, they are even listed by the Irish tourist entities.
Breakfast was very good with home made bread, home made jam, etc. provided, in fact we didn´t expect breakfast (seems the notice was added after our booking), so it was a very nice surprise. The gardens and orchards are beautiful as well and definitely worth seeing.

Rose cottage was beautifully refinished, with postcard views out of every window. The continental breakfast was plentiful, and included homemade marmalade and bread. The grounds were amazing, with herb gardens and a variety of plantings. Our hosts Bryan and Michael were delightful, outgoing and readily available.

United StatesBryan and Martin have created a tiny village surrounded by lush, green, fragrant gardens. The grounds are stunning—filled with flowers, herbs, trees, and songbirds. The apartment had everything one needs for a short stay. Breakfast which is stocked in the refrigerator is fresh and delicious. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, including picking us up at the train station. I highly recommend a stay at Kilgraney house.

United StatesEverything was great!
We stayed at Kilgraney House for just 1 night but wish it could have been longer. We arrived near dusk and were immediately captivated by the majestic drive to the property and well-kept grounds. Brian was a terrific host and extremely knowledgeable of the area. He was so inviting and friendly, it immediately felt like we had known him for some time. He went above and beyond to make our stay more than we could have imagined, helping us refine our itinerary, providing numerous insights, and simply engaging in delightful conversation. We enjoyed feeling his passion for the property and all it has to offer. Inside, the guesthouse was very spacious, clean, with fully up-to-date kitchen and bathroom. It also had a breakfast and sitting area with TV, and an ample supply of breakfast food to use at our convenience - everything we needed to feel at home. The guesthouse is located on a large, quiet property with themed herb gardens, orchards, beehives, woodlands which we were welcome to explore. It is also adjacent to rolling horse pastures which contributed to the serene setting. We highly recommend the Kilgraney House as your base of operations for experiencing the Kilkenny and Waterford areas of Ireland.
