Guest Reviews
- Tanya (8/5): -
- Tardiveau (8/5): - La literie était confortable et l’emplacement à proximité du centre du village est parfait. Le canapé et les tabourets dans la cuisine étaient un peu inconfortables.
- Fitzgerald (5/5): Meh - It was clean. Bit of mold in the bathrooms, very damn smell in apartment , heaters at rooms have not been working. It have been stormy night and not possible to dry our coats.
Not even tea back and shop have been closed at village.
Property have been double booked and 1 hour after we arrive, another family try to gain accesses into this apartment . Host phone on Booking has not been correct and when we finally track him down, he said its not possible??! However, it happened.
Rules for apartments are written by Nazzi.
Sheets need a upgrade and maybe don’t by them at Penny’s .
- Linda (5/5): Inexpensive, clean apartment - Location was very good. Apartment was.clean While they were not in the list of included items, something to make coffee with, salt and pepper, and paper towels would have been nice additions.
- Francesco (7/5): -
- Mary-Ann (5/5): - Staff responded to questions right away
Heat in every room
Water pressure of shower was good
Quiet area
- Gabriela (1/5): Disaster - Nothing that could I like it, because we didn't even get inside the house.
The owner of the house rented the same apartment to differnet group of tourists.
And relocated us to different house which didn't match our renting conditions as access to the kitchen.
So. I highly not recommending this house because you could finish your lovely trip as homeless Everything I didn't like, because we didn't even get inside the house.

- Guillaume (8/5): Emplacement idéal - Proximité commerces restauration pub
Machine à laver Absence d’espace pour manger. Remplacer le canapé par une table !
- Harris Byrne (4/5): - Location
Kitchen No lounge/living area
‘Couch’ not suitable
Not comfortable to chill out
Mattress and pillows not comfortable; Old sheets
Shower curtain unsuitable
Rules on door does not make anyone feel welcome

- Javier (7/5): Opcion para dormir antes de ir a Skelling Michael - La ubicación para ir a Skelling Michael y que estaba muy limpio. La casa estaba correctamente equipada y el aparcamiento delante de la casa. Los armarios son extremadamente pequeños. En nuestro caso que fue para una sola noche no es un problema pero si que los es para una larga estancia. El baño era muy reducido.
- Agata (7/5): Short stay - Location was great ,2 minute drive to Kerry Cliffs .
Check in process easy to follow. Definitely not enough space for four adults.Tiny bedrooms, no chairs apart from 2 person sofa to sit down and 2 bar stools.
The apartment was clean, however there was a strange, unpleasant smell in the apartment.
- Scott (10/5): - Location is perfect with literally a 3 - 5 minute walk to the town & pubs.
We were super happy & would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Thanks Nothing.
- HELEN (6/5): -
- LAETITIA (8/5): - La maison est très propre et fonctionnelle, bien située, à 2 minutes à pied du port et des pubs.
Le parking devant la maison.
L'occasion de découvrir Portmagee, une belle surprise
- Massimiliano (7/5): -
- GEORGIA (7/5): Μέτρια διαμονη. - Το χωριό στο οποίο βρίσκεται το κατάλυμα είναι πολύ γραφικό. Χώρος στάθμευσης μπροστά στο κατάλυμα. Ευκολία στο check in. Οι χώροι του καταλύματος ήταν πολύ μικροί για οικογένεια. Τα στρώματα δεν ήταν άνετα. Στην κουζίνα δεν υπήρχαν τα στοιχειώδη (καφές ζάχαρη νερό εμφιαλωμενο) εστω για εναν πρωινο καφε. Οι παροχές δεν ανταποκρίνονται στην υψηλή τιμή του καταλύματος.
- Jacqui (7/5): Perfect for what we wanted at the time - Location was exactly what we wanted, close to the port and pubs, scenery was very good. the accommodation was not particularly sound proof as we could hear what the neighbours were saying.
- Victoria (7/5): -
- Diego (9/5): - Vicinanza al porto e parcheggio. Un po’ freddo, aggiungerei una macchina del caffè e farebbe piacere un cestino con cialde, bustine di tè’ e zucchero e marmellate per il mattino.
Consiglio di mettere due bottiglie di acqua da mezzo litro in frigo per gli ospiti.
- Laura (4/5): À éviter ! - L’emplacement près du joli port de Portmagee. Après l’avoir demandé, une personne est venue nous changer un drap sale et nous apporter deux serviettes manquantes. La liste est longue. Cet appartement est petit et sale. La salle d’eau sentait mauvais, la douche tend à se boucher, des draps ne semblaient pas lavés. Il y avait des araignées un peu partout. Je n’ai pas l’habitude de mal noter les réservations mais au prix invraisemblable où l’on a payé cette location, les prestations étaient franchement minables. C’est notre pire expérience en Irlande.
- Elodie (5/5): Bon emplacement mais manque de confort, d'équipement et de propreté - Bon emplacement près du joli port de portmagee et des cliffs.
Parking pour la voiture devant le logement.
Petite maison rénovée en logement neuf avec deux appartements.
Facile à trouver. Le manque de confort et d equipement au regard du prix....deux chambres et une cuisine mais pas de salon, impossible de s'asseoir car une banquette dure en guise de canapé dans la cuisine et des tabourets hauts autour d' une toute petite table. Une table à l extérieur serait nécessaire car il est très difficile de manger à 4 dedans.
Le plus gros souci est la propreté..... miettes sur la table et les tabourets, vaisselle et tiroirs dégoûtants ( miettes et mouches mortes). On s'est demandé si le ménage était fait entre deux clients... Les draps de tous les lits étaient mis à l' envers....ont ils été changés ou juste retournés entre deux locataires... Quand on lit les injonctions laissées sur la porte,on comprend que le locataire précédent est responsable du ménage du prochain locataire.....on aurait peut-être dû se laver nos draps aussi....
Bref location la plus chère de notre road trip et malheureusement la moins bien...donc la seule pour laquelle je laisse un avis négatif. Et
pensez à faire les courses avant car rien autour et même pas un peu de café ni un sachet de thé ... pour ce prix là... vraiment grosse déception.....
- Oisin (6/5): At least think about it - Location and parking Could provide some basics like salt & pepper, oil, coffee, tea, washing tablets, more toilet paper (2 for 4 wasn't enough), napkins, bed sheets were very old. For what we paid we felt it wasn't worth it. Other places even gave us muffins, biscuits, milk and fruits...
There's no supermarkets around, so you rely on these I comment before.
The sofa was very uncomfortable, not family friendly..
Not enough hangers for wet towels also.
- Sandrine (6/5): Fonctionnel, mais peu de place pour 4 personnes - Accès grâce à une boîte à clé. Place de parking devant l’appartement. Appartement sans charme mais fonctionnel (machine à laver le linge) Appartement prévu pour 4 personnes mais uniquement 2 places à un « bar » pour manger. Ils auraient dû mettre une grande table à la place du canapé. Humidité, vaisselle pas propre.
- Roberta (5/5): - Pulizia scadente e spazi molto piccoli
- Valerie Fitzgibbon2 (6/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): - Nice little apartment.
- Jesus (6/5): Una base para visitar las islas Skellig - Dispone de aparcamiento y está muy cerca del puerto de Pormagee. Cocina completa. Calefacción. No tiene alma. Es una casa funcional y todo se gestiona sin contacto humano. Un poco caro.
- Francesca (4/5): Non ci tornerei. - La posizione adeguata alle mete da visitare La struttura era pulita male e nell’aria si sentiva un cattivo odore soprattutto in camera da letto, gli asciugamani non erano sufficienti per quattro persone, le lenzuola non erano lavate bene, in cucina sarebbe servito almeno un altro canovaccio oppure almeno il rotolo carta cucina e soprattutto manca il tavolo perché la mensola presente è del tutto inadeguata
- CW (7/5): - We didn't meet any staff. Directions for entry were easy and clear. It was very satisfactory for a short stay. It the facilities for self-catering but in v small ,kitchen and sitting area. The centre of the village was v close by, easy stroll. Lots of parking immediately at the little building and off the road. The weather.
- Julia (8/5): - Location Nothing
- Michael (7/5): The location was perfect, a short walk to the pier - Location was great. The apartment was clean. The shower had enough hot water for 4 showers in the morning. Only thing we were not happy with and that was the mattresses.
- Graham (7/5): -
- Adloori (8/5): - It was clean and the views from the property were good Wish the windows had mesh coverings. The bugs and flies kept coming into the property.
Also, wish there were basic amenities like paper towels, coffee supplies!
- Barbara (10/5): Practical and pleasant - It was practical and clean no tea /coffee available
- Julia (8/5): -
- Michail Chrysalidis (9/5): - Το σπίτι ήταν άνετο για 4 άτομα!
- Philippe (8/5): -
- Bailie (6/5): Not much comfort here - The location was excellent. The kitchen was tiny but well equipped. The beds were very uncomfortable. The walls are thin and you can hear everything from the second unit. The couch was really uncomfortable.
- D (4/5): - Le logement était moderne La douche était bouchée donc nous n’avons pas pu prendre de douche autrement la salle de bain était inondée. La literie était de mauvaise qualité. Et l’appartement très peu insonorisé.
- Dierk (10/5): - Google Maps did not take us to the correct location. Thankfully, the host provided excellent directions!
- Lukáš (7/5): - Perfektní lokalita
- Catherine (2/5): - !!Be aware Skellig Michael Landing Tours are not operating and cancel within cancellation period!!
The accommodation itself is as described, but unfortunately the experience was soured by a lack of flexibility and support when we faced a last-minute issue outside our control.
Our reason for traveling to Portmagee was to take the Skellig Michael landing tour, which was cancelled due to the operator not receiving permits. This was only communicated to us one day after the free cancellation period ended. We contacted the host immediately, hoping for some flexibility, even a partial concession, given the circumstances.
Unfortunately, the host declined and was quite blunt in suggesting we check TripAdvisor ourselves for other attractions, despite previously advising there were many options. When we pushed for more details, there was no further reply.
We understand this situation wasn’t the host’s fault—but a bit of empathy or support would have gone a long way. If you're booking this property solely to visit Skellig Michael, be aware that 2025 permit to land has not been granted, landing trips are not running, and there may be limited support or options offered from the property.

- JEAN-MARC (10/5): Très bel appartement pour 4 personnes - L'appartement est situé à 200m du port. Il s'agit d'une maison comprenant 2 appartements, et vous ne pourrez pas le manquer grâce à un immense panneau sur le devant de la maison.
Vous y accédez par la seule porte principale à l'avant de la maison, les clés sont disponibles dans une boite à clés, dont le code vous sera communiqué par l'hôte.
Nous avons reçu l'appartement no. 2. Il est neuf, les équipements de la cuisine sont neufs, la cuisine de manque de rien. Les literies sont très bonnes. Il y a même les pastilles pour le lave-linge, ainsi qu'un très grand étendoir à linge.
Emplacement très calme.
Vous pouvez vous rendre aux Kerry Cliffs à pieds.
Alex, notre hôte est aux petits soins.
Nous avons pu garer notre véhicule devant la maison.
Nous sommes très contents d'avoir séjourné 2 belles journées dans ce magnifique village de Portmagee. Rien
- Elizabeth (4/5): Great location but I was disappointed in the size of the living space in the apartment - It was very convenient, a great location.
Very clean. The property didn’t accommodate 4 people comfortably, the bench settee was small and very uncomfortable seating only 2 people. The 4 stools around a very small table was barely big enough to use for meals.
The wet room, shower room flooded when the shower was used and there were no mats to mop up the water.
- M. (8/5): Portmagee - De locatie is op 1 minuut lopen van het dorp
- Apartment in Graz (6/5): -
- Sarah (6/5): OK to stay for one night. Moorings Restaurant excellent - Shower curtain way too short and bathroom flooded
No storage space to speak of in bedrooms
- Kevin (10/5): Brilliant experience - recommend if going to see skellig Michael - Very handy location. Comfortable and very clean. Had all we needed. Nothing
- Fuentes Corradi (10/5): -
- Suehiro (10/5): Pretty much appreciate the convenience location at the Portmagee. It is quite supportive facility fo - Good location to visit the pier of Portmagee. Within 5 minutes walk to the downtown beside the beautiful port. The kitchen facilities are excellent. But the floor of the shower room is need to improve the effluent efficiency.
- Patrick (6/5): The property was good for a one night stay. Great location, but cleanliness was an issue. - Host was responsive to a late night message and accommodated our concerns with the property quickly. One of the beds smelled of urine and was damp. The showers are poorly designed such that water floods the entire bathroom. A longer shower curtain could fix that, or raised tiles along the shower entrance. More hooks would be useful in the bathroom and bedrooms.
- Helen (7/5): - Great location, super shower generally v comfortable and good facilities - v good facilities overall A few sharp knives, more kitchen utensils and big pots would be a bonus to help when cooking
- Kathryn (9/5): Portmagee.
Honest opinion - Great location, place was spotlessly clean and very comfortable beds. Within walking distance of the village and parking right outside the door.
We visited the beautiful Valentia island and it didn't disappoint. Great local pubs for food and entertainment. A little noisy as very close to the adjoining apartment but in fairness it didn't last too late into the night. It was more loud chatting and conversations rather than actual noise.
- Vinicius Parzanini (10/5): -
- Luca Agron (6/5): - Facilità parcheggio proprio davanti all'ingresso. Vicinanza al porto per passeggiata serale. Stanze piccole. La descrizione dell'appartamento, affittato per 4 persone, comprendeva un tavolo da pranzo che, in realtà, era una mensola con due sgabelli. Impossibile fare la doccia senza bagnare tutto il pavimento.
- Valentina (8/5): -
- Valentina (8/5): Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti dei due appartamenti comunicanti. Peccato non ci sia un tavolo grande per avere un convi - Facilità di check in e check out, posizione rispetto ai servizi La cucina per noi italiani è poco attrezzata. Una pentola grande, una padella grande, sarebbero stati molto utili.
- Rebecca (10/5): Cute, clean apartment in a great location for tours to Skellig Michael. - Location was perfect for us - we were taking a boat trip to Skellig Michael and were mins from dock. Apartment was clean and cute. Perfect for a family of four. Appreciated being able to leave car for the day. Could have used a fan and an ironing board. Also missing a foot towel for shower.
- Silvia (7/5): - La llegada facil con buzon y codigo para recoger las llaves. Solo nos quedábamos una noche por lo que cubrió nuestras necesidades. Es pequeño pero tiene de todo y muy limpio y muy nuevo todo. El baño es demasiado pequeño para cuatro personas si hubieran sido más días hubiera sido complicado. Hace mucho frío en la zona y tiene radiadores eléctricos pero por la noche teníamos calor. Nuestros cargadores universales para el extranjero no funcionaban porque los enchufes tienen un embellecedor que los hacía saltar, algo complicado. Menos mal que por un día nos apañamos.
- Donna (9/5): Nice place if you want self catering (has at place menus of all places in town if want to eat ot) - All what you need. Sleeps 4 has a small kitchen. No room for 4 to eat at table
- Petra (5/5): -
- Mihai Dan (9/5): -
- Cassandra (7/5): Fine for 1 night - Location Very small seating area and really only suitable for ,2 people

- John (8/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): We liked the apartment very much but would like to have found it more easily. - Breakfast not included. Good location for restaurants and ferry to Skelligs
Compact but well thought out and finding tea and coffee supplied was a plus. We had trouble finding the apt as it wasn't clear where the used car place was. We did eventually spot the Portmagee Village Apartments sign and investigated that property but could not see any number on the door and didn't spot the lockbox. Eventually we pulled up at the house next to the used cars and the owners son confirmed that we had been at the right place. We had seen a sign for a Car Sales place which we mistook for the used car place mentioned in the directions. Making the distinction clear would have helped and placing Apt Numbers on the front door and the lock boxes would have helped. We still hadn't received the code by 4 and I had to remind the owner.

- Alex (10/5): Just note to owner. Replace batteries in TV remote. Was working only from very short distance. - Great location
- Jen (9/5): - Excellent location for a trip to Skelligs. Very clean and comfortable.
- Menzo de MK (6/5): Brand new clean apartement, freindly owner, but very small and little facilities - Everything was brand new and clean.
The owner was friendly and flexible to allow an early check in.
Plenty parking space. Perfect location. Wifi worked well. The apartment was very small. There was no living room, only a kitchen and two small bedrooms. There was no chair to put your clothes on, only the floor. There was no place to put your toileteries, only the floor, which was easily flooded because of the shower curtain being too short. There was no floor wiper nor a bath mat to dry the wet floor. There was no coffee maker.
- Rory (5/5): Okay apartment with no hot water so showering was a disappointment. - Location was an easy walk to the center of town. Apartment was clean. Plenty of space to park your cars. No hot water so showering was slightly cool at best. Bedrooms were small so difficult to navigate with suitcases.
- James (8/5): Great apartment with great location. - Not much to say, really. It was exactly as expected. Two good-sized rooms with double beds, a kitchen area, and a seating area. You share the building with another apartment and use the same front door, but we didn't meet them at all. We went on a Skellig Michael landing tour, and they graciously allowed us to leave our car there. It was a five-minute walk to where you meet the skippers. There's also amazing food a four- to five-minute walk away. No downsides we can think of. Only maybe the seating area. It was a bit small for four people to relax. The sofa was big enough for three at a squeeze, and there were two stools.
- Alfred (7/5): Es gibt bessere Unterkünfte. - Die Nähe zur Ortsmitte und den entsprechenden Restaurants. Absolut unterirdisches Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Niveau einer Jugendherberge!
- Catharina (10/5): Clean apartment - Small apartment but works well for a family or two couples. Nice shower and very good location. Limited seating for four people.
- Ping (7/5): - Location, walking distance to restaurant and boat docks. Bedrooms are very small. Kerry Cliff is nearby that worth visiting.
- Tom (10/5): -
- Uwe (5/5): -
- Breda (8/5): Great location - Location Small living room
More hooks in bedroom & bathroom are required
- Regina (10/5): Loved this little apartment! - The location was perfect for us. The rooms/beds were comfortable. There was plenty of hot water. There was a kitchen so we could prepare our own meals. And there was a washing machine! Nothing
- Russell (9/5): -
- Teresa (10/5): The property was very clean, small and quaint, close to everything. - The property was very close to the village It was cold upon arrival, once we figured the heating all was good
- thomas (10/5): It’s really nice home like my home - Excellent Water coming to corridor from the wash room… there must be a stopper between wash room and corridor. And no hangers in the washroom.
- Jacek (9/5): One night stay. - Clean apartment. Has everything you need. I can agree with "departure duties" but "House Rules" on the door? Take that down please 😂🙏
