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.

- RHamiltonEdinburgh, UK7 contributionsYesterday my husband, 5yo son and I had a great day kayaking with Driftwood Adventures. I was a bit "extra" since it's been almost 15 years since I have been in a kayak or canoe. I called first and spoke to Hugo who was super patient and reassured me that the open session would be perfect for my son and I. Yesterday was our session and of course I fell in trying to get into my kayak. Jasmine could not have been more patient, reassuring, and kind. The entire team were so very patient and kind in how they helped me get into the kayak. It was this way throughout the entire 1.5 hr trip. How they were with my son too really blew me away. They are just all SO lovely! They do loads of different adventures, so if you are wanting to give it a try, but unsure, please don't hesitate to book in with them!Written 17 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brigid D5 contributionsWe went on a morning kayak trip from North Berwick led by George. Somehow he had managed to arrange glorious sunshine and a pod of dolphins and we had a wonderful paddle around the bay. The trips was very well organised so that we felt very safe, but not constrained. Highly reccommended!Written 15 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Clayton PigeonRome, Italy1 contributionVery friendly staff and good berthing facilities, good communication on VHF with marina on CH80. Pretty calm, even in >20knots easterly blow. Downside is showers and toilets are a long walk from the marina and in portacabins. Bit of a long walk if caught short!Written 24 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
