"This is a true gem. The owners were wonderful. They called to check on me and even surprised me with dinner a couple nights (which was amazing). The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked well. I will surely stay there again. The WiFi signal was the best I have ever experienced in The Gambia. I highly recommend it. They told me they are opening a restaurant in December which will be great. "

"We stayed for four weeks in January 2014. Our experience was mainly positive. It started upon arrival when we saw the bougainvilla paint the outside wall in purple flowers. The walled garden housed a variety of birds such as various types of doves, the splendid sunbird and the beautiful sunbird and two types of flycatchers. We even spotted a Klaas' Cuckoo and a woodpecker here once.
The rooms were spacious, the beds aren't perfect but no worse than an average hotel. We also enjoyed the...

"Needs a tidy up with some unfinished parts to the apartment. Nice location and friendly people. Location is not as close to the Senegambia strip as shown but is about 10 mins car journey away. "

"Het door mij gehuurde appartement biedt plaats aan meerdere personen. Er zijn drie slaapkamers, waarvan twee met twee-persoons bed en airo. De woonkamer is zeer ruim te noemen en de keuken is ruim opgezet en van alle gemakken voorzien.Het geheel ligt aan een doodlopende straat waardoor er alleen bestemmings verkeer komt.De accommodatie is zeker aan te bevelen.De luchthaven is een kleine 15km verwijderd en Senegambia is 10 min rijden, met vele restaurants. Ga dit niet vergelijken met Europa etc....

"4 van de 6 slaapplaatsen veel te dun matras, 5 dagen lekkage in de keuken, app. niet schoon bij binnenkomst, lokatie: 40 min. lopen naar strand, gelegen tussen 2 uitbundige moskees en blaffende honden: om 4 uur rechtop in bed, lokale hangout met discussierende mannen over politiek en voetbal op de hoek: lawaaig. App. is exclusief niet aangekondigde kosten electra en wifi: 80 euro voor 3 weken. Tuin: weinig vogels, geen zitplek, dus geen toegevoegde waarde. Volgende keer zeker iets anders"

"All the staff were so friendly, amazing and so helpful. Breakfast every day was lovely and fresh.
We stayed in the old rooms which do need a bit of work to update them but I can see they were working on some of them.
Overall a great holiday due to the fab staff.

"My stay at Tamala would have been terrible if it hadn't been the staff, I unfortunately got sick soon after arriving at the hotel, and the staff were amazing in how they took care of me during this time, forever grateful."
"We had a wonderful stay at Kombo Beach Resort!
The views are absolutely stunning, waking up to the ocean just steps away was such a dream. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Special thanks for offering to extend our checkout time when our flight got delayed.
The food does take a little while to come out, but it's totally worth the wait. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. Breakfast was a standout too, different options to start the day right.
Overall, a lovely and relaxing spot. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting The Gambia!"
"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bungalow Beach Hotel and it was an incredibly relaxing experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make me feel at home. They were attentive, always ready to assist with any needs and provided a welcoming atmosphere that truly enhanced my stay. The room was spotless, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that the hotel maintains high standards of cleanliness and the space was both modern and cozy. One of the highlights was the beach. Which was simply stunning. It was peaceful, offering the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Gambia. I spent hours there, soaking up the tranquility and feeling like I had my own private getaway. I would absolutely stay here again, as the combination of friendly service, a clean and comfortable room, and a serene beach experience made it a memorable trip. "
"The hotel's location was absolutely perfect , right in the heart of the city, within walking distance to all the major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation, making it easy to explore everything"
