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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomUnfortunately, they didn't provide any African or specifically, Gambia delicate essen for break. They had no facilities for disabled persons but are willing to give a hand.
The breakfast was good and the staff very friendly expecially Usman who served us tasty omelette. Amadou who is a backroom staff, worked tirelessly to make our stay enjoyable.

United StatesIn a hotel resort like Coco Ocean, there should be a nice bar. Surprised the Sugar Cane Bar isn't open. The breakfast area needs decor, very drab. Paint is peeling and cracks and window slats needed replacing. Tile broken in spots. A lot of little things need fixing all over the resort. Issue in the Beach restaurant in regards to not getting the meal ordered. The pasta dish lacked sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, which is why the dish was ordered in the first place. The waitress was very apologetic and sweet, however. In 2025, smart tvs with Netflix should be the standard.
The Thai restaurant is exceptional. The room we were in was nice and clean. Staff friendly. I like the feel of the place.

United KingdomAreas for improvement include providing hair caps, toothbrushes with toothpaste, and small hairbrushes in the amenities, as well as upgrading the quality of the shower gel and shampoo offered.
I would like to express my highest appreciation to the exceptional staff at Coco Ocean Resort—Ebrima Bojang, Ibraima Manneh, Sumira (the kind pregnant lady), and Ousmane (affectionately known as Smille)—for making my stay truly memorable. Their attentive care and warmth made all the difference.

United StatesI discovered they rent out a party space. It was Saturday night the band and loud music continued until 2 am outdoors. I will ask next time if they have any outdoor events during the evening. This was a horrible experience. Sunday tomorrow is my last day and I will be too tired to enjoy the beautiful beach. Not happy
Very beautiful location

United KingdomI didn't eat in the restaurants - but the breakfast was generous and staff 5* BUT no variety at all so after 10 days I was a bit fed up with the buffet salads - exactly the same each day - and not very interesting. Hot buffet the same and very dry overcooked bacon....Hotel Guest Relation Manager agreed, said that this had been mentioned before and they would be working on improving this offering. But I gather that the buffet on the gala New Year dinner was incredible and offered a huge range of really well cooked dishes.
Wifi was the worst ever - a complicated system of many zones, each requiring a password as one moved around the complex. Very bad bandwidth and hard for me to work - often hours of no reception so communication to Uk very difficult. IT staff did their best to assist but whatever they did often only improved things for a short while. If booking do check to see if they have invested in a better system if you rely on consistent IT/wifi whilst you are away.

United KingdomAlthough this is a lovely place it is well overdue for a lick of paint if not a complete refurb. The wardrobe doors were impossible to close. The wrought iron balustrades have rust showing through. Wi-fi is very poor. Sometimes we drink wine. It is hard to believe a hotel of this size would run out of wine. The wine we were drinking that is, there were other varieties available.
Friendly, helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of areas to lounge around the pools. Lovely view of the beach. Breakfast was very nice. Twenty-four-hour bar.
