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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomAs mentioned by others the water pressure in the shower was poor. The saving grace was the water was hard so there was no problem rinsing off shower gel.
Great place to stay facilities worked and any issues were sorted by staff promptly.

United KingdomThe shower had no pressure to have a decent shower. The tap in the kitchen area leaked when turned on. The Fridge door didn't close properly. The power kept cutting out and the WiFi was poor at times. It got noisy outside at times with the cars horns and passers-by shouting.
A nice place to stay and relax, friendly staff, supermarket right on your doorstep. Just a 15 to 20 minutes walk from the beach.

Disappointed that my wife and I were not served breakfast. We were told that was a mistake. We will make sure we will let others know about the bait and hook tactics to attract customers. Hope management rectify this blunder.

United KingdomLounge has tinted window onto main corridor which didn't make the living room area comfortable. A simple addition like blinds or curtain would rectify this. Pool didn't look as inviting as the photos but at least there was one there. Water flow could be better. No hot water at kitchen sink so had to warm water in kettle or on stove, so a bit awkward. Wifi strength was variable. Internet access also wasn't reliable but that's probably more to do with the 4G mobile network provider. Seems to be a common issue across west coast Gambia. It's great having a big airy lounge, but if you are having a tv in there it needs to be at least a 46". Was squinting my eyes trying to read tv text and EPG Would have been more convenient if the lounge light switch was two way i.e. switch at both ends, as had to walk across from bedroom door to main door just to put on the light for the lounge.
Large roomy apartment with terrace. Above Safeway supermarket although Right Choice is also nearby. Reception staff very helpful, special mention to Billy. Can explore local Kololi area, all seemed very safe neighbourhood.Taxis easy to get outside. Couple of eating establishments nearby. 15 minute walk to Tropic Centre, 20 to Senegambia strip. Beach is about 25 minute walk. Kitchen performed adequately, and enough pots and pans and cutlery. X-large bed, very firm and comfortable. Safe in bedroom working well and reliable Aircon in bedroom but ceiling fan was adequate. Plenty of wardrobe space and bedside drawers on both sides - such a bonus and enormously helpful having this furniture Ceiling fan in lounge Lovely cool air in the corridor straight off the ocean - great on those hot, dry days

The rooms are spacious and the AC works. Hot water. Kitchen has basic equipment. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Security at the gate, and the cleanliness of the accommodation is good. In the event of a power failure, the generator is started. Internet speed is sufficient for e-mail, newspaper download, etc.. Occupancy of the rooms was 40%. Februari 2022.

United KingdomI cannot think of any complaints I have for the property.
the property was very clean and quiet. the cleaning ladies came around every day to thoroughly clean the rooms. It was situated about one kilometre away from the main tourist areas with plenty of taxis nearby, although I could walk into the centre in about 10 to 15 minutes. It was a 10 minute walk from a beach. There is a supermarket downstairs to buy food and drinks etc. There is a large spacious dining and sitting area with enough cooking and eating equipment to cook basic meals. A large double bedroom with a cupboard to store clothes etc. A shower, sink and toilet area with plenty of hot water. The property has free wi-fi and air conditioning They let me store some clothes etc whilst I spent a few days touring the country and I could stay a few hours extra in my room on the last day after check out time free of charge.
