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.).

ChinaDakar might be not such stable during the recent years, but, this is a wonderful and worthy capital I suggest you to visit. So enjoy your stay!
This lovely house is just near the Yoff beach, you can easily take your time every morning and evening to walking alone the beach and enjoy the soft sea breeze and charming sunset. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I knew that Dakar and even the whole country is suffering during this time, but fingers crossed for the people here and the good persons I have met. Thank you so much!

United KingdomOnly minor issue was that our room door handle was awkward to open.
Really good atmosphere with relaxed, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast served either in the garden or indoors. Some simple meals available up until 6.30pm too. Good shower with plenty of hot water. Staff arranged taxi into the city for us (4000 CFA), a trip to Lac Rose and the Village des Tortues for 50,000 and to the airport for 25,000. All very punctual and friendly drivers. Beach is two minutes walk away. Highly recommend as a base for exploring Dakar and also as somewhere reasonably close to the airport.

MalaysiaDakar is a huge and crazy city and it can take up to one hour to go by taxi to the city.
Second time here. This time in the room with shared bathroom. That room had sea view and it was basic and comfortable. All that at a very reasonable price. Good wifi There is 24 hours somebody at the property. Very close to the beach and it seems to be a safe area also at night Very friendly and helpful staff, they are always there to answer your questions and give assisstance and speak good english Wonderful breakfast which can be served in garden area Close to bus station (Parcelle Depot) for buses to Banjul (Gambia Transport Company or Dem Dikk) , 4 km only Also not too far from Beaux Maraichiers bus station for minibuses to Saint Louis and shared taxis to many places in Senegal. 10 km, usually a quick ride by taxi.

Area seems pretty safe also at night Major shops to get things done nearby Spacious clean room Good wifi Very friendly staff and owner, can feel like at home. Very good breakfast on a lovely terrace

Matar was very helpful, kind, and professional. He answered all my questions right after my booking and took great care of me. Plus, it's a great value of the deal, momey wise. I recommend it 100%.

South KoreaWhen we made a booking, there is air conditioning in the room facility. However what I was surprised is that AC is additional cost when we check in. I found with their help that it was written in the other section of the confirmation page. It looks like very tricky.

New ZealandThough the food was excellent, I almost choked on fishbones one night. Though this is probably more of a personal mistake, I would recommend people be aware that there might be fish bones in their meal.
I arrived at Auberge Keur Diame during a time that Senegal was experiencing a period of significant civil unrest. This meant many facilities in the area - supermarkets, ATMs, etc. - were unavailable. The folks at Auberge Keur Diame were very accommodating of my needs given the situation and the uncertainty they were also under. Not only did they help me out in the circumstances, they also maintained an exceptional standard of cleanliness and cooked some delicious Senegalese meals. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a view of the beach outside the window.
