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 reviewThe location was ideal and the food was good. We where met by a young girl. Who was great and friendly.
The older members of staff where absolutely horrendous and horrible to myself and kids, and to everyone else that I seen in the bar restaurant area. Very sharp and not nice or welcoming at all.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect, right by the sea. Staff were super friendly and helpful, food was exceptional. Views from the room were amazing. Would love to return. Malin head just a short distance away so ideal for a base if you want to visit there.
You can hear some noise from the pub below, as you would expect when you stay in a tavern, so might not be ideal if you're very sensitive to noise and want an early night.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed staying at the seaview tavern. The room was spacious and comfortable. It’s a lot nicer than it looks in their pictures and much larger. You can indeed see the sea from the window. The location is a bit out of the way, but it was an interesting place to stay. The breakfast was very good and fresh. They served a wide variety of items, everything for a full Irish breakfast plus French toast, really good porridge, and more.
The location was a little out of the way and there wasn’t really anywhere else to go eat if you didn’t want to eat at the tavern. You can hear the pub from the room, but it wasn’t a big deal.

Verified reviewFabulous location and lovely staff
There was a music event on while we were there which went on through the night. Even when the music stopped the party continued. This was a planned event which we should have been told of at the time of booking and not 5 days before our arrival as by then we could not find alternative accommodation . Breakfast has to be preordered the night before and was not great.

Verified reviewOur stay in the Tavern was excellent. The room was clean with comfortable beds and nice view. The staff taking us to our room were very welcoming in every way. Food was excellent. we had an evening meal as well as breakfast, both excellent. Breakfast times were set but as we had to go earlier than those times they facilitated us for our needs.
Trying to find where we needed to go to register in was confusing. We were never sure whether we were in the right place to do so.
