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.).

GermanyIt is a small oasis close to Banjul and the beaches. The breakfast and the cleanliness of the apartment were outstanding. I can only praise the staff and the hospitality of this beautiful hotel. Highly recommended.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay at Rooftop for our honeymoon!!. Urban was so accommodating and attentive throughout even when he was away during our visit. All the staff where kind, approachable and accommodating; special thanks to Michy for decorating our room and providing delicious snacks and drinks for our arrival and to Fatou, Yassin and Abdou for taking such good care of us, we had such an amazing time. The room was nice and clean, you felt like you had the whole hotel to yourself as there is good privacy between the suites. You are not far with a short drive to the beaches or the main tourist strip wiithin senegambia and there is a cornershop for small essentials just walking distance too. I would highly recommend you stay here!

GermanyJust minor things, warm water in the shower was hardly existent, WiFi rather flakey, toilet flush had hardly pressure. But nothing to really complain about.
Absolute wow factor. One of the most unique hotels I've ever stayed in. We also received an upgrade to the biggest suite which was great. Breakfast is generous and not at all expensive as some say. How can some people really say 10 Euros are overpriced for such a great meal? It was awesome.

SwedenThe rooftop was already a "10" during my last stay here. Surprisingly, Michy and Fatou have taken the hotel to an even higher level. Booking should consider upgrading its maximum review rating to at least "15" to truly reflect the excellence of this remarkable hotel.

United States* Everything costs extra it felt - the breakfast was €10, turning on AC was €10 a night (which should be stated beforehand) * The location isn’t great. It’s near absolutely nothing and requires a 20 min walk in dust storms to get anywhere * AC wasn’t very strong
* Incredibly helpful staff * DELICIOUS breakfast that’s worth the money * A cute restaurant right nearby that’s cheap and delicious * Huge rooms and very fun decor * Amazing rooftop with plants * Beautiful reading beds on the rooftop which I used every night to read * Very attentive owner who helped us get tours we wanted

Excellent stay. Very comfortable rooms, was even given a free upgrade I believe. The rooftop itself is beautiful, could easily spend hours and hours up there. Generous breakfast. Very friendly staff and owner. Can only recommend.

NetherlandsThe host is great and really listens an helps wherever he can, offering advice on which tours to do or not, and how to get Dalasi for a slightly better exchange. He also has a great sense of humour 😄 The Rooftop itself is an oasis, great to use as an office for a few weeks, or to relax in the evening. The lights in the evening make it a magical experience to sit and relax or chat with other guests. We have had such a lovely stay here, really recommend anyone to go here as well.

United Kingdom€10 for breakfast is steep. Not the hotel fault but the surrounding road was full of sand.
Great facilities. It looks amazing. It's comfortable. Room is cozy and anti bug. Excellent staff. Good location, considering it wasn't on the beach so didn't go far to the strip. A lot of things were great. Would recommend for anyone who doesn't want to stay in resort and wants privacy.

This has got to be the most beautiful hotel in the Gambia. It’s obvious that the owner put a lot of thought into the design, and the result is an inviting and stylish space that feels like a true oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Though I was travelling alone, I imagine the hotel would be a great choice for a couples‘ getaway as well.

A magical hotel with an incredibly welcoming, warm and helpful team. Picked up from the airport all went smoothly despite the long delay to our flight. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the rooms are fitted out to a vey high standard. The breakfast is delicious and will keep you going the whole day! It is easy to get to the beach which is a 15 minute walk away. Close to attractions such as the monkey park and Tanji (including fish market) and easy to get to Banjul and Serekunda. A wonderful, relaxing stay.

SpainThe only cloud in the silver lining-the bed matress was VERY soft. This is certainly a question of personal preference, but for us it felt very uncomfortable.
Amazing hotel in a excellent location (close to Senegambia strip, but separated from the touristy madness). The owner himself designed everything, from concrete to curtains, and takes special care of the guests personally (he even upgraded our room because of some mixup with the airport taxi). The style and design of the room and the whole hotel transported us back in time, however the facilities (kitchen, bathroom) were very modern and up-to-date. All the staff were very kind and helpful. 100% recommended!

GermanyIt could not have been more perfect.
A stunningly beautiful and tranquil oasis in the middle of a Gambian neighbourhood. One of the few places where the amazing reality is actually better than the amazing photos. The owner and staff were so heart-warming and welcoming and attentive to all needs. Close enough to great beaches, parks and restaurants, but far enough from tourist crowds and the traveler bubble. The opportunity to meet interesting people at the community breakfast table for fun conversations and great tips.
