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.).

MaltaNot staying longer
I loved the Eco Lodge it was beautiful ,clean and welcoming. I wished I could have stayed for longer. It was streets ahead of anywhere in Kenmare and you lived in the countryside at one with nature. It was home from home.

CanadaBiggest issue was change in acceptable payment the day before arrival. Although Visa and cash payment were listed on website, Visa was not accepted for early payment. We had cash payment but it became not acceptable the day of arrival. This made for an anxious couple of hours accessing PayPal at a restaurant. We know the host was injured, but there must have been some way to collect cash. Milk was not provided. No breakfast. Location sign could be more noticeable.
Access to whole house, quiet and comfortable, great kitchen.

ItalyAbsolutely beautiful country house in Kenmare. Hidden away in the true countryside, the house offers the most comfortable stay. Anne, the owner was a wonderful host and super welcoming and made the stay super enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone thinking of doing the Ring of Kerry.

IrelandTaxi’s are non existence in Kenmare !
Stayed here for the Ring of Beara cycle . We were blown away, hidden outside Kenmare on its own little oasis . The house is perfectly designed & decorated, waking up looking out the French doors from the bed at the beautiful Kerry surroundings was incredible . It was an adventure exploring the house and garden .

AustraliaIt was a bit further out of Kenmore than I expected maybe not for a person who is going The ring of Kerry as there is a lot of back tracking if you stay two nights. If you are planning only to do the Barra Peninsula from Anne's this would be okay. No place close to get food.
Everything really lovely home and very comfortable especially the bed. Seeing deer in the front yard early in the morning Anne the host was very accommodating If you just wanted to relax and go walking it would be good.

United KingdomLocated up some fairly narrow roads (?), with grass growing up the middle. Bit of a problem when we met a vehicle traveling the opposite direction. All part of the joy of Rural Ireland I suppose!

South AfricaThe property description should be clearer that this is a room only. No access to the outside courtyard as the door was in need of repair. I would not advertise this accommodation as pet friendly, dogs were confined to the room only.
Her home is beautiful but the photographs are misleading about areas that are accessible to guests and pets.
