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.).

Nothing. This is our third visit and we will stay here again in 2026.
The Dolphin is directly across the road from the train station. If you walk up the road that you cross from the train station you will be right by the clock tower. Linda and Alan (and staffs) are extremely welcoming and more than happy to help if you need local advice or recommendations. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. The rooms have fridge which is extremely helpful. The rooms have a fan. The rooms also have a TV including WIFI for channels. WIFI is also available. The bar is spacious, clean and friendly with local publics who will talk and interact. They have Sky Sports. They have a games room for pool and darts.

Space between desk and bed very limited so extremely difficult to sit at the desk.
Linda and Alan were both nice people to deal with. Room was noisy late in the evenings from the pub below, but beautifully quiet in the mornings. Bed was very comfortable. Price charged was very reasonable so good value.

It was in the perfect position. Close to the station and the beach. Great value for money. Linda and Alan were fantastic hosts. Although there is no onsite food you are so close to a wide choice of places.

Linda and Alan are wonderful hosts, who make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive. Nice clean room. The Inn is two minutes walk from the seafront and all attractions are easily reachable by foot. The Dolphin is a great friendly pub to enjoy a few drinks in the evening. Fantastic value for money. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice of accommodation.

Despite our accommodation being in a good location, there was not much to do in Weymouth at this time of the year. Most of the attractions do not commence until April, this includes the museums!
Our hosts, Alan and Lynn were very welcoming. The Dolphin Hotel is in a very good location, close to the seafront, and the local shops. We stayed in a lovely room, very comfortable bed, ensuite bathroom, with a nice hot shower. TV, a fridge, and kettle with tea and coffee available. We had a very good comfortable stay, very good value for money, and wouldn't hesitate to stay again when we visit Weymouth.

Nothing to dislike.
Everything, starting with Alan and Linda making us feel very welcome and taking the time to explain everything in detail, including recommendations to get around by the Jurassic Coaster bus network. (You can get a 1/2/3/7-day pass on the FirstBus app or website). They have run guesthouses in Weymouth in the past and their experience shows. They even gave us a choice of rooms and we chose Room 3, which was smaller but cozier. The heating came on at the right times of the day and was adequate. We also had a mini fridge and TV (with Sky) to use. The bathroom was good and the electronic shower was very convenient to use. Our room was cleaned every day while we were away. The location is great, very close to the train station (2 mins) and beach (5 mins). The National Express bus stop is about 10 mins away. Plenty of restaurants around within a couple of mins' walking distance. We didn't spend time at their pub downstairs but it looked great, full of welcoming local residents. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay and would return without any hesitation. Thanks, Linda and Alan!
