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.).

United StatesWould have preferred a TV in room. A minor thing…I don’t quite enjoy taking shoes off at entrance and wearing borrowed slippers. I do respect the preference as we have friends who do it but it’s the first time I see it at a BnB. Not a dealbreaker by any means but as an FYI.
Amazing view and wonderful recommendations by the hosts. Barry and Jens are friendly and knowledgeable and the place is stylish and sophisticated without being precious. Delicious breakfast as well, in either of their 2 nice spaces. But the sunroom is perfection! They adapted to my allergen needs very well. Do love it is a retreat for adults only. Would stay again!

GermanyWe were returning to Valhalla BnB after our 2022's stay. Again for 3 nights. An awesome stay again. Such a beautiful place. It felt like coming home. Barry and Jens are courteous hosts. The room was in a superb condition as well as the whole BnB. We liked the chats at breakfast even though they were busy to make it an experience for us. Again "The cake of the day" was outstanding. Talk to them to get advise for your trips at the Ring of Kerry it is worth it. We'll definitely come back ! Hugs and love from Hamburg ;-)

Valhalla BnB is located about 10 away from then center of downtown Kenmare which is prefect for a quiet day, evening and night, yet close enough to enjoy the pub scene. The grounds are very well manicured and we’ll taken care of. Room had everything we needed for a pleasant and relaxing stay. The views of the bay from the property are stunning! The best part of the property was our hosts. Welcoming, kind, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive… I can go on. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You will not regret it.

United StatesThat we had not booked a week.
Our hosts provided a superior ambience in terms of furnishings, colors, textures, and views. They were warm and inviting, knowledgeable about local attractions, restaurants, and roads. The hosts engaged in sophisticated conversation and shared in easy bantering. Our breakfasts were based on our selecting from menus items that were fresh, homemade, and presented with aplomb. Our stay was so compelling that we could have stayed a month longer.

GermanyHosts Barry & Jens are very welcoming and made us feel home. The are very attentive and take their time for a nice chat. We never feeled in a hurry. The B&B is very comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed the available options for a continental style breakfast as we prefer it over a cooked breakfast. We can highly recommend that B&B.
