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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing to dislike but i would suggest that if anyone has issues with hill and stairs contact the hosts first to seek advice re room availability. I am 71yrs and my good wife not quite as old and we had no issues with being on the second floor but some, particularly of our age group, could easily struggle. I believe both hosts would give very good and honest advice .
The breakfast(s) had a very good range of choice and everything was fresh and cooked to order. The location is absolutely fantastic and our room looked out directly onto the river/boats. The hosts, Andrew & Stephanie were so friendly and able to give good advice re local sites, restaurants etc.

United KingdomWe loved everything!
Dolphin Guest House is a true gem of a place: welcoming, comfortable, great location. Andrew and Stephanie are the perfect hosts and have created a cosy oasis right in the middle of bustling Looe. Exceptionally clean room and bathroom, wonderful room with fantastic facilities and an incredibly comfortable bed; amazing attention to detail, from the fresh milk in the fridge to free parking, fluffy towels and a proper hairdryer. Breakfast is cooked to order and delicious. Thanks for a brilliant couple of days.

Stephanie and Andrew were so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was lovely with lots of extra touches in the bathroom and a good selection of drinks. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and cooked breakfast was delicious. With location being a short walk to the centre of town, we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

United KingdomBit of a cliche but we really couldn't fault it.
The view from the room is great, overlooking the river. Everything was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. En-suite was super with nice hot water. Stephanie and Andrew are fabulous hosts offering local knowledge, wonderful breakfasts, beer runs and they always greet you with a smile. The outside seating ares are a lovely place to while away an hour or two with a drink accompanied by some cheese :-) It is one of the nicest places we have stayed and we would love to return.

United KingdomBeautifully maintained and restored 19th century Naval Officer's residence directly opposite the river with easy access Looe town centre(s) and the lovely little railway to Liskard. Stephanie and Andrew have done a remarkable job with this guest house since taking it over several years ago. They are both very welcoming, warm and sincere in their dealings with all their guests. This was our first visit and we both felt very much at home. Lovely little touches, such as a welcoming cup of tea on our arrival and in our room a small bottle of liquor, biscuits and a little table and comfortable chairs to enjoy the view of the stunning river from our 2nd floor front room. Breakfast was plentiful and beautifully cooked by the 'head cook and bottle washer' Andrew, whilst Stephanie did the hard work of keeping us supplied and topped up as required. Check out the delightful sitting room with framed pictures of Looe through the centuries, interesting selection of books and even a chess set ready for playing!
