Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A beautiful escape from the world around you. Beautiful architecture and design and setting. Pool and spa amenities are the nicest I have seen. Visually stunning space in black - who knew! Landscaping and view amazing and the. building blends into the hillside as it descends to the lake front. Only important note is the horse back riding is for children being walked around on a lead - not for adults.

We've been to The Europe Hotel and Resort before but this time we brought along some of our friends. All of our rooms had balconies that offered amazing views of the water and mountains. The breakfast was incredible! I would suggest bringing a bathing suit and enjoy the break taking views from the outdoor spa/thermal pool!

Stayes here in Aigust and Septmenr 2023 having not been for a while. Lovely hotel, great food, relaxing areas, nice staff but from previous experience of staying there, the 5 star small detail treatment isnt what is used to be which is what set it aside from others.

A nice hotel overall but some pros/cons. Pros: Really comfy bed and pillows Worth booking the room on the side with the views as it makes the experience Fabulous views from restaurants etc Nice selection of restaurants/bars and nooks and crannies to relax in Very good service overall (with exception of issue in next section!) Killarney Park very close with loads of things to see and enjoy depending on the weather Cons: Things go missing... Left my jacket on a chair in our room on checking out. Contacted the hotel as knew I had left as soon as I got home but it 'wasnt found'. I know for a fact where I left it so very disappointing and surprising to experience theft in a hotel that is meant to have great resident experience. Food not great - we had an awful meal in the restaurant when the dinner was beef wellington (which we love!). Totally inedible as salty and neither of us could eat it. Food for lunch and other dinners was ok but not very tasty. One starter was literally 3 different types of tomato cut into pieces with the water from the tomatoes poured over it. They weren't even very tasty tomatoes... Go for the fish and chips as safer... No real walk around the grounds - feels larger than the site actually is though there is a lovely walk along the road into the adjacent park Overall it was nice but we had a disappointing experience overall and not what I expected given the reputation.

Great mediterrenean experience at the Riva restaurant. Since I was traveling around Killarney, last week I had the chance to have delicious dinner with a magnificent view on the lake. The responsible Carlo was extremely polite and attentive, and he gave me excellent reccomandations regarding the dishes and the wine pairing. The tagliataelle were just delicious! I will be back for sure!

Pure luxury. Infinity pool with views of the Lakes and mountains is a little bit of heaven. Rooms are very clean with very comfortable beds. A very relaxing escape location. My second visit and can't wait to return.

Ate at Hotel Riva. We live 20 mins away so decided to try this. Decor and ambience beautiful. Well appointed table. Offered water. A few mins later someone came to take our food order. I suggested we may like a drink. Ordered garlic bread 2 pizza and fries two desserts one pint of beer. The food was mediocre . The service was quite good. But had to remind I was waiting on fries but that’s ok. Dessert was big disappointment. My hubby ordered like a crème brûlée it was poor. I ordered a pistachio mousse. It was like whipped cream with crumbed Oreo biscuits and tin pears. Very very poor indeed. We are local to the area. I would not return given the price point . There is a lot better tasting food in the locality.

Wonderful experience!! We stayed at the resort for 2 nights and had connecting Lakeview Rooms. The views were beyond spectacular!!! My sister uses a wheelchair and the accessibility of the hotel was impressive. Just one of the perks…The accessible room was at the end of the hallway and immediately outside of the door was an elevator that took you to just outside the fine dining restaurant which is also where breakfast is served. So convenient!! The views of the lake during breakfast were just so incredible. We loved it!!! Restaurants were also quite good. Went to Riva and enjoyed their delicious pizza! Dessert was also good.

We went to Riva this weekend, to celebrate our upcoming wedding. From start to finish we had the most incredible experience. Our waiter was Sergio (from Alicante 😊)! He was phenomenal!! He made sure we knew about the gluten free options, and that we had a fabulous glass of Prosecco to celebrate our evening!! He was so chatty and kind! The food was out of this world! We honestly had the best night and can't wait to come back again!! All of the waiters are wonderful here, but we really wanted to highlight how fantastic Sergio was!! 😌

Went to brassarie for family dinner, food and staff were nice enough except a lady who wasnt our server francesca i believe, was not helpful at all and was very rude and cold. Seemed quite stand offish and almost made us feel bad when we asked for simple things, made our experience feel not really like a 5 star service.
