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.).

KenyaI liked the staff and the fact being near the beach.
I liked the feeling of a home away from home. The environment has a homely feeling with staff who makes one very comfortable. The Wifi is the only one with a problem especially in the morning and evening. At night it is very okey. When I travel back to Sally, this is the place to stay. I already miss to stay there again and again.

United StatesThe door to the bathroom didn't close and the room was quite smelly. There was a big rooster that attacked my wife and we were afraid it would attack our baby who was walking around. The wifi was not good and very spotty. It looks like they are making it better.
Very nice staff and beautiful little garden. Sometimes hot water. Close to the main areas but farther away for better value. It had a small terrace room.

SenegalNo screens so couldn't open window for ventilation without letting bugs in. Room is dark, bed is small. Not deal breakers for a room at this price, but things to be aware of.
The dining patio is great and comfortable. The owner is a wonderful driver and helper at the various tour sights. The staff is awesome.

Mame was an excellent host and so kind and attentive. I felt so at home there. The terranga (hospitality) was exceptional and the room was nice and big. I really enjoyed the outside courtyard as well. Breakfast wasn't included but it's worth it for a nice simple, easy meal! Dinners were delicious as well. It was only a 10-15 minute walk to the beach (depending on how many people you say hi to along the way)

United KingdomThe whole hotel is really dirty from the tablecloths to our room. The room has mould everywhere & the windows do not open. The sheets still smelled of the last guests and the worn out towel was filthy. We came late & it was the last room so no chance to change. We were exhausted after a long trip and the hotel a long way from the town centre so we stayed. I woke up with a headache from the mould. We changed to another room which was slightly cleaner but no mould. The place is sweet but old and run down. The owner & the staff are very accommodating and kind BUT they need to CLEAN and not just a quick sweep after each guest. My husband is Senegalese so we are in Senegal often traveling around. This is by far the dirtiest place we have ever stayed. I hope the owner uses this review as a message to clean up his nice place.
The garden restaurant & little pool.

United KingdomWe loved every minute of our stay , a big thank you to everyone at Auberge Africa Thiossane for making our stay there so enjoyable . The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the garden area is beautiful . A lovely breakfast is served every morning in the outside dining area , meals are also available, we had monkfish skewers, they were delicious and very reasonably priced ( around £5 each ) . It is a short walk to the beach, with a few beach restaurants serving food and drinks , we ate at Boud Ficel, great food . A walk up the main road towards route de Saly ,( Piste des Charentes) is an enjoyable experience, lots to see, several small bars , chez Agnes was our bar of choice , great little bar to sit outside of and to watch the comings and goings , also plenty of small street food vendors selling delicious food .
