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.

We have stayed at this guest house many times and have always been very happy. Unfortunately on this occasion things were very different. They no longer provide a cooked breakfast which is fine. Other than that this has not been well communicated when booking and reference to their good breakfast is still made on their Website by way of visitor review The more disappointing thing was the very rude and non-helpful attitude of both the owner and his son and our comments were pretty much dismissed However, what really bothered us was the owners comment whereby he said if ‘I were a greedy man I would just fill this place with Ukrainians, and be lying on the beach in Portugal we found this very distasteful given the very bad situation in the Ukraine. These comments in our view are racist. We are not in the habit of ever leaving negative comments and places we stay however, we felt this needed to be called out.

Response from John Burke, Owner at Kinvara Guesthouse
Responded 22 Aug 2023
To reply to Ollie M's review the breakfast we provide is clearly stated on our website and all 3rd party booking websites. All hospitality businesses change what they offer from time to time and our change from a cooked breakfast to a continental-style breakfast is no different. What is unacceptable in Ollie M's review is his reference to being rude and non-helpful and in particular his reference to being racist. Our Business employs people from the Philippines, Brazil, and Ireland, and more importantly for Ollie M to note we have welcomed employees from Ukraine to work in our business. In light of this, we are not prepared to accept an outrageous comment about being racist toward Ukrainians. When a guest leaves a negative comment in a review they need to be fully informed of the facts or otherwise a comment can be very misleading and disrespectful to other viewers and indeed to the service provided. We have a policy in our business to reply always to comments in reviews that are not based on facts. The Management Kinvara Guesthouse

Property's Favourite Review
It looks small on the outside, but actually large with many rooms on the inside. We saw that they had a 9.2 rating on booking and we quickly saw why it was so good. The first thing that surprised me was the clean smell in the halls, Not a clean chemical smell, just a nice clean smell and an absence of any bad smells. That really impressed me. Each one of us when we walked in the room said wow. It was a big room with three beds, very nicely decorated, immaculate, super comfortable beds, super nice everything. It has a restaurant right across the street, parking right in front and a wonderful dining room. An outstanding place

We booked a last minute family room in the guesthouse to visit Elf Town and visit the Christmas market in Eyre Square, and could not have been happier with our experience. The staff were amazing, room was clean and toasty warm, beds were super comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic (and made available 15 minutes earlier than normal due to our early start at our request. Would absolutely recommend and will be staying again.

When we arrived, the hotel looked rather small and old, but that was a wrong impression. A lot of rooms and ours was perfect! Clean, all comfort, nice bathroom, … for a very very good price. Certainly compared to the hotel we went afterwards for 2 days in Dublin.

Kinvara Guesthouse is right in the center of Kinvara and within walking distance to everything. The beds are wonderfully comfortable. The breakfast they put on each morning is fantastic. There are many options for every dietary need. The staff is professional and kind. I like that they are very cognizant of environmental practices and reducing energy use. I would stay here again for sure.

This place was specious, clean and breakfast was great. The service for breakfast and the gentleman at checkin was great. This would have been a 5 star rating but the gentleman who checked us out was extremely rude and condescending. Morning started off great until I encountered him.

We were visiting Ireland with our two small children and we were able to to utilize the family room at Kinvara Guesthouse. It was perfect for our family. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was lovely. The best part was the customer service though. My daughter left her favorite lovies (two small blankets and three small stuffed animals) under the pillow by accident. We reached out to the owners and they shipped them to our home! My daughter was beyond happy to receive her animals (that went on their own adventure) when were back home. Thank you for saving the day!
