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.).

Honestly Uisce Beatha House is hands down the most beautiful b&b I’ve ever experienced and I have travelled extensively! From the natural surroundings, location, interior decor, bedding, home made breakfasts / lunches and just how comfortable the hosts Maureen & Pete make you feel. So friendly and kind, with amazing recommendations and hand written maps of the surrounding area! I cannot fault them and cannot wait to visit again! Thank you both so much, you made our last two days on Kerry truly unforgettable x

AustriaIf there is anything to "upgrade" then this is a door to be added between the bath and the room. There is only a curtain which could be potentially disturbing.
An exceptional place, perfect location and a perfect view. The house is nicely renovated with a separate area for the guests. We had the room with sea-view which made the stay even better. Quiet place, close to Portmagee for our trip to Skellig. Clean rooms, hosts which helped with our questions (we even could get a charger for our Canon camera which we forgot at home - a one out of a million luck chance!! :-) ). Nice breakfast options in the dining area of the hosts - with view to the sea. I can only fully recomend.

AustriaExtraordinary, positive experience. Hosts really friendly and helpful (couple of items we forgot in the room after checkout were delivered to our next stay by Piet, thank you!), the most delicious Irish breakfast I ever had (thank you Maureen!). If you are staying around the Ring of Skelligs, please try to stay there, you won't regret it.

What a sweet night spent in this lovely little bedroom (the twin one) which is very comfortable and tastefully decorated! Everything is made to let us cocooning and calmly resting in it. We have found the same atmosphere during the breakfast facing the sea: delicious fresh and organic products, eggs directly from the coop and warm and friendly welcome from Maureen and Pete. We had to leave but it was reluctantly... we'll definitely come back. We really recommend this B&B in Kerry... don't hesitate to stay there! PS: Thanks for the homemade biscuits and all the nice attentions

Pete and Maureen have a wonderful place just outside of Portmagee! It is quiet, clean, and oh what an exceptional setting, right smack on the bay facing Valentia Island. Our twin room, though on the smaller side, was very comfortable.and what a gourmet breakfast they offer complete with otters, hares, and water birds in view. We loved this place and and it’s owners and so will you!

GermanyMaureen & Pete are very welcoming and we enjoyed staying there. Our room was a little small, but that was as expected from the description. It was nicely equipped, very clean and we did not miss anything. For breakfast we had selected a fruit salad and it was the best we had during our trip. The homemade jams were delicious and the view from the breakfast room over the sea to Valentia Island was wonderful. Maureen & Pete really take care of their visitors. Thank you.
