How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI had a wonderful time at The Seashells. The location was perfect — close to everything yet peaceful enough to truly relax. The views were absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. I also really enjoyed the breakfast. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. It was the perfect short break, and I’d definitely return.
There wasn't anything really I disliked

Verified reviewBeach was on the doorstep
Had our car scratched outside the property
Disappointed your stay was so poorly rated due to the misconceived issues mentioned. Your breakfast was requested at 8am and our next guests were not sitting until 9am. A full hour was the time you had to sit and eat your breakfast, which i feel is very reasonable rather than 'rushed'. Other guests, who joined you for breakfast and ourselves were very shocked to hear you detail the scratch damage to your car. We were however, even more shocked and puzzled when checking your car that we were unable to find any visible scratches or damage at all ???

Verified reviewThere is nothing like an Irish B & B welcome, I've stayed in many over the last 45 years and they rarely disappoint. My stay here was so lovely. I didn't realise the room would be so big as it was a very last minute trip, I booked at lunchtime for that evening, just delighted to get a bed, therefore I was thrilled to see that I had an ocean view and a very large room as Eric had given me the family room. Eric and Dympna couldn't do enough. From a very warm welcome to a sparkling clean quiet room. My bed was extremely comfy and breakfast exactly what I needed, a freshly cooked full breakfast is always welcome. It was a delight to sit by the window and look out at the sea watching the beach shenanigans, then a walk along the beach in the morning which is gorgeous was just what I needed. who doesn't like to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the sea! Parking is easy and there are local restaurants. Plenty to do in the area and ease of the drive to places like Wexford, Hook, Johnstown castle and Tintern abbey make it a great base for a few nights. There are many great beaches locally too. Delighted, I'll be back again.
