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 reviewGreat location and helpful staff, for we stayed here before while traveling up the coast. The rooms are clean--but a little dated.
We had a room on the annex corner across the street, and it was directly under the stairwell. Therefore, foot traffic and traffic from the street were persistent. Ask for another room if you get this one.

Verified reviewAll of the employees were pleasant and very helpful! Our room was spotless, with no odors, and it was a pet friendly room! The welcome basket for our puppy was so nice! The beds are comfortable, soft linens. There were plenty of towels, and even one just for the puppy. There were also 2 fans in the room, which is great because I'm one of those 365 days a year fan people 😉
My only wish was that there were a few more coffee pods in the room. We were given more upon request, but it would have been nice to have them already in the room. We were booked for 3 days and it would have been easy to stock the room ahead of time.

Verified reviewThe staff was nice. The location is excellent and within walking distance of a nice trail along the cliffs. The room was clean and beds were comfortable.
Only thing was that the temperature in the room was a little warm.

Verified reviewQuiet and relaxing. Our room was secluded which allowed us to have the TV on all night which my spouse needs to be able to sleep.
The clubhouse and Mini Golf closes too early.. Was looking forward to having more fun with the kids at the hotel at the end of the day but had to delay getting dinner in order to do golf.

Verified reviewWe have stayed at the Emerald Dolphin several times in the past. Always clean and relatively quiet.
The only thing we found to our dislike was that the room was warm, but a light cover was needed. The covering was a comforter, and it was way too warm. There was a problem with the light over the bed. The switch needed to be replaced.

Verified reviewThe man at the front desk was very kind. Our room was huge! Everything is very clean and new, with a 90's forest green and cherry stained wood vintage style. We brought our dog and they were very pet friendly. The free coffee in the lobby every morning is really good. The mini golf course was lovely. The arcade was small, but had the best first person shooter Alien Armageddon game. Their pirates of the Caribbean pinball machine is gorgeous! They even have a vintage Harley Davidson riding motorcycle game. We will definitely be staying here again.
