Loved the location, partially because I've been around this area before and I like it. Not too far into the centre, near Ngor beach /island, and less busy than the centre. Staff are super friendly and very accommodating which was especially important as I'd gotten sick earlier on our trip and struggled with eating so always had special requests.. Food is very nice btw. Loved the restaurant setting too. I'm big on interiors so as shallow as it may sound I was very happy with my surroundings. Room was nice, super comfy bed, mosquito nets and nets on the windows. Oh and they have their own mosquito repellent which worked better than ours. Loved the shower too.

Only thing i didn't like was someone had left the windows open when we arrived so we had lots of mosquitos in the room, but I'm not sure you can hold this against the hotel as it could've been a previous guest and i didn't notice what happened, my friend did. Saying that, there are mosquito nets so once in bed you're fine. Also apparently there wasn't a malaria risk luckily. Apart from this minor blip.. Can't think of anything I didn't like.

Boma is a beautifully designed artisan lifestyle hotel. Every aspect of Boma has been carefully designed and it helps to create a tropical oasis in the centre of Almadies. The rooms are based in detached bungalows and are moderately sized. Each room contains a walk in shower with a separate toilet. The rooms have a fridge, Tv, AC, kettle and an iron. The Bungalow rooms have 4 post beds with a comfortable mattress and come with a mosquito nets. The bungalows are located a short walk from the main reception and restaurant areas. The main restaurant was also beautifully designed with flowers, art work and natural objects which all help create a peaceful and tropical ambiance. The food in the restaurant was very nice and the staff across the hotel were nice, friendly and helpful.

The hotel has a small gym but it does have the basic equipment required to work out. The rooms do not include any of the restaurant food and this is all separate which I believe for the price should have breakfast included. The WiFi in bungalow 25 was very patchy and did not work properly for the duration of the stay.

Excellent staff always open to accommodate every request. Very nice restaurant, always open and with availability to sit down, and a great choice of food and drink on the menu. Quiet rooms immersed in gorgeous nature, despite the location of the hotel being in a chaotic, busy area of Dakar. The possibility to also enjoy night life at the hotel on the weekend, thanks to many initiatives (live music, painting events, club)

Wonderful oasis in the heart of Dakar. Great atmosphere, music scene and pool area. Modern African-style vibe and decoration, with a lot of art. Truly kind staff (Dieng and Die at the reception as well as the restaurant waitresses). Lovely rooms with private terrace and well-kept garden. Nice details and attention for guests, like the complimentary products by Nyara and the snacks in the room. Perfect size hotel.

As someone who cares about socially responsible tourism, I had the impression that staff were working extraordinarily long shifts.

The staff were amazing. I truly can't fault any of them, from the gardener to the guys at the restaurant they were all very polite and friendly. The room was very nice and generally the ambience of the hotel is calm and relaxing.

I wasn't allowed to have my son in the pool after 12pm which I think it is a silly rule especially because I was the only person in the pool the 3 days I was there. To reach the hotel you have to go up 10 steps and then down another 10 which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have a buggy. The club was next to the restaurant/bar which was forbidding us to stay till late for drinks as the loud music was waking up our son.

My stay at Boma was hands down one of the best! I loved having a bungalow room that was both private and allowed you to not feel too isolated. The meals served at the Kitchen were always just perfect! The staff was top notch all around - friendly, professional, and always willing to go above expectations! If and when I return to Dakar, I can't imagine anywhere else to stay!

As I stayed in two rooms, I found that the Wi-Fi in the rooms closer to the back wall of the property was not as strong as when I was in a room closer to main walk way. That made it challenging to make Wi-Fi calls and have video meetings. Other than that, I have no other complaints!

I liked the location, how well and beautiful the grounds were kept, the room decor, and the restaurant staff, especially Sophia and Badera. I also liked the variety of entertainment each night, especially thursday night with Cafe Des Artistes (Paint and Sip).

I did not like the towels/bath robe provided. They were always stained and never really white. Just generally looked used and didnt inspire confidence that they were 100% clean (though I'm sure they were laundered). I also did not like the airport shuttle confusion. Booking.com has a (pre-paid) option to get picked up from the airport that is separate from the taxi request you directly ask the hotel via booking.com messaging feature. I did not realize that these are not the same service (as they do not make this clear) and ended up having to pay for both the hotel provided cab and the booking.com provided cab which was really unfair, costly, completely delayed the check in process, and started the stay on a sour note.

It’s beautiful with lots of trees everywhere. The rooms are well appointed and everything is of high quality. Small thoughtful touches make the space truly special. the staff are kind and helpful and the ones at reception speak English.

The WiFi in my room failed on my last day, and there were a lot of flies at breakfast on my first morning. However this was fixed as they weren’t there on the second day.

An oasis in the middle of a bustling city of Dakar, just what the doctor ordered. I would have loved to stay here for a weekend. The service from security to reception is excellent. Thank you to the lady at reception; Clementine for guidance with taxis (and how to use to YANGO) and restaurant logistics.

I would have loved a comfortable couch in my room. Breakfast service could be better (with flexibility and choices), especially for a business person who is not on vacation.

Elegant, artful, and designed for comfort. The room was very spacious and well-decorated. Loved the convenience of the mini fridge and in room coffee maker and tea kettle! Complementary shea butter and African black soap shower gel was a really nice touch! The shower was divine with lovely tile and overhead skylight. Private patio was great to relax on. plenty of closet space. lobby and restaurant / pool area were beautiful spaces that had great musical vibes - even featured live bands a few nights. The art was absolutely amazing! Staff was so friendly, warm and helpful - i enjoyed learning a few Wolof phrases and practicing my French. Marie was great and a loved seeing her smiling face at breakfast! Conveniently located - a short cab ride away from everything to see & do in Dakar. Superb!

Minor wifi issue in the room on my last night. Not worth deducting any points for, though.
