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 KingdomWe loved everything!!
Words cannot really do justice to the calibre of the stay we experienced at Loch Lein Country House. Everything was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for Annette and Paul. Annette was available throughout our stay and provided a pot of tea in our room on 2 occasions (note the room does not have tea/coffee making facilities). The location of the property is breath taking with gardens overlooking the Loch. The room was very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The lounge area provided a lovely area to enjoy a post dinner night cap. Before we left Paul was able to give us some excellent advice regarding our onward journey. We are planning to return for a longer stay. Our stay here was the highlight of our tour around Ireland.

United StatesWe loved everything!
An outstanding B & B! We loved Loch Lein Country Home! The room was large, very clean and well appointed. The house was beautifully decorated and we had use of the living room, bar and library. The location was great as it sits on the end of Loch Lein and you are only 10 minutes from Killarney. Their biggest asset, however, are the owners, Annette and Paul, as well as their friendly and very accommodating staff! Annette and Paul go out of their way to make sure you are happy and will do anything to be helpful. The breakfast they provided was also outstanding. They have several continental food items, but also a good selection of hot items that can be ordered from the kitchen. We would also recommend the Killarney Brewery & Distillery down the street for excellent beer/spirits, food and service. We ate there 2 out of 3 nights. The B & B is also open for dinner (6:00-8:00 pm), but we did not try it. We are sure it is excellent too since their breakfast is so good. We highly recommend the Lock Lein Country Home!!!

United Kingdom. The hotel is misleading in that it claims to be "lake side" but you can't walk to or get to the lake from the hotel. We wanted to walk to the lake but were told that there is currently a dispute with the local farmer about access. It is therefore a lakeview only. The restaurant was a little pricey but everything is made in house. (Because we didn't have wine with our meals if felt like this was a problem)
The Country House is in a quiet location. It is run by the two owners with help from their son and daughter. It is very clean if slightly old fashioned but our friends thought it was really nice. The breakfast was fine.

IrelandA fantastic warm welcome in Loch Lein country house. I arrived early and was facilitated with an early check-in and delicious coffee and pastries. The breakfast was excellent on both mornings. Would highly recommend staying there for the stunning lake views, but primarily for the care they take of all their guests.
