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...).

United StatesThere is no downside to this property.
Our room and the balcony were fabulous! The whole house is stunning, not to mention the outside space. The owner is fun and informative and makes a great breakfast, cooked to order. We’ve traveled a lot and seriously, this is the most perfect lodging we’ve probably ever booked. So yes, I guess that’s a 10 out of 10!

South AfricaWe absolutely loved our stay with Siobhan at Seafort Luxury Hideaway. It is the best guest house we have stayed in - ever. Everything was absolutely immaculate and beautifully maintained. Plus the breakfasts were freshly cooked. This makes such a difference to the flavour of the meal. I also loved the fact that there were the finishing touches in our room that other places lack. And a big plus for us was the superb coffee in our room & fresh milk provided in the fridge. What a way to start the day! When we visit Ireland again, Siobhan & Seafort Luxury Hideaway will be on our list of accommodation. Thank you Siobhan & staff for making us so welcome and our stay so wonderful.

United KingdomSeafort allows you to tailor your break to suit your needs. Whether that is relaxing privately in the lovely rooms, possibly admiring the spectacular view over the bay from your private balcony or using it as a delightful base to explore Bantry and the surrounding area. Siobhan, the owner was very friendly and a mine of information. She went out of her way to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. Her hosting skills and eye for detail in the way the property is presented are exceptional. There is also an excellent restaurant for dinner (Donemark West) pretty much at the end of the rather impressive driveway that leads up to Seafort which I can recommend you book if you don't fancy driving or getting a taxi.
