Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The property is literally on the beach - couldn’t get any closer. Beautiful views every morning and falling asleep to the sound of waves was lovely. Very nice room - clean and bright. No complaints. If you are planning a trip to Duncannon - look no further. Full Irish breakfast offered each morning by Eric which was delicious. Great value for money. Will definitely be returning next year.

IrelandThere wasn't anything really I disliked
I 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.

IrelandThere 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.
