Ubicado en un entorno natural maravilloso
Pros:

La ubicación es ideal (puedes llegar al puente que comunica con Fadiouth y el cementerio mixto caminando -10 minutos); el entorno es maravilloso, con visitas al bolong y los manglares desde la terraza de la habitación y el bar del alojamiento. La habitación muy espaciosa y confortable (con aire acondicionado). El personal muy amable y atento a nuestras necesidades. El desayuno muy bien.

Cons:

Las instalaciones del alojamiento, en general, están bastante dejadas.

Una tappa a Joal
Pros:

In posizione strategica per visitare l'isola delle conchiglie, che si può raggiungere a piedi, la struttura é essenziale ma accogliente. L'host é gentilissimo ed é sempre pronto ad aiutarti se ne hai bisogno.

Pros:

La amabilidad de todo el personal. El desayuno también maravilloso, las vistas estupendas y la zona del resto/bar genial. La habitación también con todas las comodidades.

Cons:

Si tuviera una piscina sería genial pero tampoco es un problema porque en el bar de al lado hay. En realidad todo estupendo.

Superb
Pros:

The auberge is cute and quiet and sits immediately at the coast of the lagoons and the mangroves. Stunning location. The breakfast is simple and good. You can also have dinner there right on the river bank. Our highlight of the stay was the exceptionally friendly and forthcoming staff.
If you're looking for a great calm weekend escape, search no longer.

A relaxing couple of days in a tranquil location with exceptional service
Pros:

A beautiful, tranquil location overlooking the mangroves at one end of Joal (closest to Fadiouth island). Run by Mamadou, who couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay. Breakfast was lovely and we also enjoyed a lovely dinner and a boat ride through the bird sanctuary/mangroves organised by Mamadou for us.

Cons:

Lots of mosquitos as expected, but Mamadou always sprayed the rooms if there were some in the rooms and there were mosquito nets on the beds.

Very good
Pros:

Mamadou, the host, is very helpful and kind; we didn't have enough money so he came with us to M'bour to help us finding a bank. The place is simple but clean and in a good position to go to the Fadiouth village. Very reccommanded!

Great hotel, great restaurant, great location
Pros:

I had a fantastic experience at Auberge Coeur which was a perfect base to explore Joal Fadiouth and nearby areas such as Djiffer. My room was large and impeccably clean. It overlooked the lagoon and meals were served on the terrasse outside my room. The meals were wonderfull!! I had dinner there both nights, I requested Senegalese style and everything was freshly prepared and delicious. The owner is very attentive and very helpful. He provided excellent directions and suggestions and also arranged taxis for a very good price. I highly recommend Auberge Coeur and the whole fascinating area of Joal Fadiouth!

Cons:

I liked everything.

Good location, very good conditions for the price, staff very helpful and professional.
Pros:

Right next to one of the gare in Joal-Fadiouth (which is always a plus if you're backpacking around). The walk to the island of Fadiouth is 10 to 15 minutes, during the day felt safe. Good view (ask if the rooms facing the water are available), good food also available, breakfast not included but good price-quality. Mosquito nets in the bed. If the water pressure is low just go talk to the owner, pump might need to be turned on.

Props to the staff, very Teranga.

Cons:

No complaints
