Energy Surcharge: An energy surcharge will be applicable for all bookings at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill as of the 01 January 2008. This energy surcharge will be invoiced to the guests directly. This will be US$ 5.00 per room per night. Hotel Mocking Bird Hill has always been operated along the guidelines for sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism. To address this point, Hotel Mocking Bird Hill undertook an energy audit on 2007 and has contributed to My Climate to offset the negative impact of our operations while continuing to strive to improve our environmental performance. In response to the increasing cost of energy and with the awareness that it is incumbent upon every business to reduce its carbon we are now currently in the process of expanding our use of renewable energy beyond merely solar water heating, which we have used since opening 17 years ago. We look forward to reducing the carbon emissions produced as a result of our operations as well as being able to remove the need for the energy surcharge as soon as possible once our energy project is completed. The areas that are already operated on solar energy are the outside lighting, the pool pump, 4 rooms, the office, kitchen and the gallery.
