Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff and owner made us feel at home and the view was great. The room was clean and quiet. The walk to everything you want to see is short but hilly. The food was good. Kevin was knowledgeable of the sites to see and places to go and eat. He made us feel welcome the minute we checked in.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bella Vista. After checking in we had drinks at the hotel bar followed by dinner at the Chinese restaurant. The service and food were excellent, and we had lovely chats with the people at reception every time we walked by throughout our stay. Everyone was kind and helpful. The location was perfect for walking to town, with beautiful views of the water. Would absolutely stay here again.

My wife and I had such an amazing time. We were greeted by amazing staff on arrival. Once formalities were done, they helped my wife carry her bag upstairs to our room We were upgraded to a beautiful room Spacious, updated bathroom. Very flash. Lovely view of St. Coleman's cathedral. Breakfast was more than we expedited and the service was brilliant especially with my KIWI accent Julie loved the selection of wines and I thoroughly enjoyed the Guinness that was on tap. Ideal location for history of Cobh and easy to get to Passage West. The main reason for our trip. Would do it all again.🇹🇦🥰😎

The staff was outstanding and extremely friendly. The room was a nice size with updated bathrooms and beds. We were welcomed to breakfast with our own table and given both a continental and hot breakfast. The views were beautiful both from our room and breakfast. The food was wonderful. Thanks for a great stay. Will return for our second trip.

Not our 1st time to stay in Bella Vista . It is the most beautiful little hotel we love it and have stayed on many ocassions. The staff are always so welcoming and helpful nothing is ever a problem..We had booked 2 seperate rooms and when I mentioned we would be happy to take a suite if 1 became available so we could all stay together they kindly upgraded us to 1 of their self catering apartments which was absolutely huge. Not the first time either that they have kindly upgraded us. The apartment had everything you need for a family break away. Breakfast had plenty of choice. And the onsite Chinese restaurant serves the nicest food.

We are returning visitors. We have stayed here many times. There is always a warm welcome. Our room (9) had recently been refurbished. A beautiful comfy double bed, a massive bathroom with a huge shower, all spotlessly clean. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Plenty of choices for breakfast, from fruit, cereal and yogurts etc to a full Irish. I can highly recommend the bacon and eggs, “proper” bacon and tasty fresh eggs with a golden yolk, only the best! To the front there are beautiful views out over the harbour. This is a well run, family establishment, in a beautiful old building with a good mix of character and modern style I have no hesitation in recommending Bella Vista Cobh.

Every year my family and I spend the new year at the Bella Vista and every year we leave saying the same thing ... can't wait to be back next year!!! Location is beautiful, rooms clean, spacious and modern (especially now that they have been renovated), staff is super friendly and breakfasts set you up for the day. A real gem in the middle of a beautiful town to visit. 5 stars from us and can't wait to be back next year!
