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.).

BelgiumWe liked everything!
Kindness of the staff, the location, it's safe to leave your stuff on the beach when you go for a walk or swim, people don't try to sell things all the time, great local food, best place to relax and meet people. It's an eco lodge, so they ask you to respect that and to think twice before you use water or electricity. Not the place to go if you want a luxery hotel, with European food and facilities, You will find those hotels in the tourist area where they treat you like a tourist. At Nemasu you're a guest. Best place to stay!

We had an amazing stay at Nemasu. The best of it are people working there. Always kind, smiling, helpful. The views are amazing! Ocean is great and the beach is long and wide. The food is also delicious especially pizza from the oven and local dishes.

AustriaThere was no Wi-Fi for most of the time we were there, but I believe it was a problem with the provider that was eventually fixed. Nothing else to say really.
Nemasu was by far the best place we stayed in the Gambia. We initially only planned to stay for 2 nights and had booked another place, but when we got to the other place we changed our plans so that we could go back to Nemasu for another 2 nights. It's the perfect place to unwind, right on the beach, super green and quiet and just idyllic. The staff are super nice and the food is excellent. We also booked a bird-watching boat tour through Nemasu with Suleiman that was great. Extra bonus - their dog is the sweetest and there are some kittens running around as well!

United StatesJust north along the beach is a Chinese canning factory. Depending on the wind direction there was occasionally the strong smell of fish. Sheets were ill fitting on the bed, but the mattress was comfortable. Depending on the time of year the water can be quite cold. Late February the water was cold and there was a cold wind, which was nice for walking during the day. Do not expect a hot shower.
They accepted credit card through Paypal. Most places only take cash. Breakfast was good, eggs any style, fresh bread w/ peanut butter and homemade jam, fruit and coffee. Beach was quite empty and if you're up to it, you can walk about 2 leisurely hours along the beach to the Senegal border. After crossing a river mouth (by way of going knee-deep through the surf,) you can follow a road up, turn right and find a great seafood restaurant called Dodous (sp?) You can take a taxi back if you're tired. You can also find smaller eco-lodges that offer beer and food along the beach. it's one way to spread the wealth. While the beaches are mostly empty, if you want to interact with people, they can be found and are friendly and approachable. There's a beautiful mosque close by and a fish market just beyond it along the beach, all within easy walking distance.

United KingdomWe paid more than we were supposed to due to paying for an extra person. We were advised that on arrival we could get that back as food vouchers but when we arrived, that never happened. Made it out to be quite an expensive stay, but we had a nice time anyway.
Beautiful ecolodge on a beautiful beach. Comfortable rooms. Can get a little hot without air con so just be aware of that. It is an idyllic beach, better than any the local ones we visited!

NetherlandsBathroom had two minuses, a very poor shower and a sink where the tap only gave very little water. The food which was cooked from the menu was not all to a normal Gambian standard and the kitchenstaffs and waiters, waitresses didn't check if everything was clean and fresh. I got a bowl with breakfast cereals and saw loads of tiny ants walking in it. Eveningdishes were not completely cooked well, potatoslices being raw.
Continental breakfast Gambian Style was sufficient. The bed in the room was really nice to sleep on. The fact that we had our own private space to sit and relax was very nice. A nice modern toilet in the bathroom. Our room had seaview, just partially hidden behind the restaurant, so no direct seawind blowing on our terrace. The area is perfect sleeping with only the seabreeze, no noise of traffice or anything, really in a natural environment. The personal went out of their way to give us a good feeling.
