Such a cute fun spot. We rented the captains quarters and it was well worth it. Gorgeous room and bathroom. Everything was super clean and inviting. There was a little noise from the bar downstairs but it was done by 10pm and if there was any trouble they even left us ear plugs so we could get a good nights rest. The bed and pillows were clean and comfy. Would definitely stay here again. Also the food downstairs was pretty good. They have a few gluten-free and vegetarian options too.

Fantastic food quality and a sun-filled quiet outdoor patio! Kale salad, mole tofu and chicken tacos, plus nachos and good beer. What could be better?

Comfortable room & excellent food! Carne Asada Burrito for the win.

My third time staying here. It is now way over priced for what it is. They aren’t putting any money back into the rooms. I don’t see myself coming back at these prices.

$38 gets you six diminutive tacos, with flavorless dry meat, cilantro, and pickled onion (which was admittedly the best part of the meal). Chips and salsa are purportedly included, but the salsa was missing from our order. This meagre meal is coupled with inattentive service. I suppose there are few dining alternatives in this out of the way surfing town, but I would save my appetite for a more worthwhile restaurant.

This is a fantastic place. We had dinner, saw a great band, and stayed the night. The whole experience was excellent.

Be aware music may be loud into the night but it didn't bother us.

Smiley's is a beautiful little piece of history tucked away in beautiful, quaint Bolinas.

Best chilaquiles this side of Tomales Bay. Super friendly staff and they gave our doggie a treat. Happy to have had lunch at the saloon. 10/10 would recommend!

Awesome place to stay. Simon personally walked us to our room, he was so accommodating and so nice! We stayed in the Captain's quarters with the balcony and Oh my were we impressed! So comfy and so clean too. Lots of extra towels and bed linens. Never needed to ask for anything. The food was impressive, the green salsa was to die for! Smileys will be are go too place to stay while we visit the cute little coastal town of Bolinas.

What a ratty hole. Not homey. I would say stay away do not waste your time and your money. Depressing.

For $200 a night it was definitely a let down. It is small and semi run down. It was like a $79 Motel 6 day at best but smaller. It Basically has 2 parking spaces for 6 rooms. On a dirt hill. Would never even think of staying here again

Had the opportunity to stay, eat, and drink at Smiley's.

The food here is very good, we ordered the burrito, torta and pozole. All 3 were very flavorful. Both salsas
are amazing!

Drink selection is top notch, with quite a good selection of draft and bottled beer.

The room we stayed in was cozy. They provide ear plugs because it can get loud. There is a small lot for parking otherwise it's street parking.

Staff is friendly and location is great. Just a short walk from the beach/lagoon.

Overall a very good stay and would recommend if you're in the area.

This place feels like the best memories of home and loved ones, experienced in a place that is completely new and unfamiliar to your senses. It’s what I imagine visiting your favorite song would be like.

Está ubicado en un pueblo que comentan hace unos era hippie pero se ha convertido en surfero.
Nosotros solo estuvimos en el bar y el camarero fue muy amable.

Cadre et l'ambiance super accueillants. Adresse parfaitement agréable. Je recommande ce resto à Bolinas.
