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):
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.).

NetherlandsThis is a lovely place to stay! It feels like an oasis 😊 The staff were really welcoming and helpful, and it's just a short walk to the beach where there are a bunch of nice restaurants. It's also close to the airport, and the hostel organises taxis to and from. Would definitely recommend!

United StatesNot a complaint about the hotel, but there really were no options closer to the Dakar DSS airport. The taxis from the airport are very expensive. We had to negotiate to get the price to XOF 15,000 (USD $24).
The owner was exceptionally helpful, friendly and honest. The room was basic, but served its purpose for an overnight layover. The area is quiet, and near the beach. (a little hard to find at night)

ItalyNothing was out of place or to criticise. Except for a few details that are currently being refined.
A warm and simple accueil, in a very beautiful garden, surrounded of the rooms. It's the closest hotel to the airport of Dakar Blaise Diagne. The navette service is very effective and cheap, and is comfortable as all the stay. You can walk to the sea in a few minutes. You can also order very good meals. The best value for money.

United KingdomEverything is great and good value for money. Only thing is there was not a toilet seat in our toilet/bathroom and some family members were not happy. It was very clean
This is a simple yet colorful and well decorated place. Simple rooms with mosquito nets and fans and shared bathrooms The garden is like an oasis with beautiful plants, birds and a fabulous pool. The staff and the owners who live there are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious The place is a short walk to the beach through a local array of houses. It is a small village with local facilities. Once on the beach you can walk 15 minutes and you arrive to an enclave of beach bars and restaurants. Very relaxed and pleasant. We spent the day on the beach. In the hotel they also sell local made crafts created by young people from the area. The owners work with local children and youth and can provide information which we always appreciate.

United StatesThe location nearly necessitates an airport transfer. Unfortunately, this costs more than the room rate! I should note that I was happy to pay for convenience sake.
The owner is so friendly and helpful! The compound is quiet and comfortable. I appreciated the greenery and the short walk to the beach!

what was supposed to be just a starting accommodation close to the airport, turned out to be the highlight of our 2 weeks vacation in Senegal. Angelo and his staff are great, the food is good and affordable, and Angelo is full of tips for better enjoying and understanding the village and the country. On top of that, the Toubab Dialao is a very pleasant village that allows one to chill, relax and at the same time discover the more authentic part of Senegal.

United KingdomOur driver did not see the signpost to the property, my room did not have a television - not the fault of the property. However the internet was good and was sufficient for all devices.
The property was an oasis - situated among a local residential area. Got invited to a lovely dinner with the owner, other guests and staff. The property is not crowded and has a relaxed feel; it is a few minutes walk to the beach where there are many restaurants and bars. If you want quiet, it is a good place. The garden is lovely and calming. The property even arranged the taxi for us and it was good value for money.
