Low key place at a distant beach.

The lodge is located in a quiet village on the northern border of The Gambia. Consequently, it is quiet there. The lodge is directly at the beach, with is a good thing and the staff is really, really friendly and cooks pretty good food.

There are a few problematic things to mention here. The rooms are not exactly clean, especially the showers and toilets. More problematic is the way to get there. Upon request, I was told "there is transport available in Barra". Good information for a Gambian, but if you don't know how it works, you are lost. In Barra, go to the ferry, then turn 180 degree and walk down the street. At the first junction, there is a public transport (gelli gelli) going to the island. But...only very rarely. You can keep walking and stick left to get to the river. There you can cross by a small float maintained by some boys. They will ask 100 Dalassi...give them 10. The ferry to Banjul costs 25, so 10 is more than reasonable. Then find a motorbike taxi there, if you dare. It is 250 Dalassi, but you can get it down to 200 or even less. BUT...be careful. I fell of the bike, ripped my pants and underwear (and nearly my important parts), had a big black spot on my leg and a cut on my thump. Some apologies were offered and the driver went off. And I walked. Saver and a good beach walk of 5-6 km, but make sure you don't do that in the midday sun. Best option is probably to ask the people from the lodge to pick you up. He is a good driver. Also, bring enough money, there is no ATM. And be aware that the beach is full of old shoes. Maybe you can find a matching pair.

Perfectly quiet, relaxing and very beautiful location on the beach.

We used this quiet place for digital detox. The Feel Free Lodge is located on a remote island and has the quietest beach we have ever visited. It is perfect for relaxing, swimming and bird watching. The manager Sheriffo was very friendly, most helpful, very reliable and considerate. Getting to the Feel Free Lodge is a nice adventure: We used a taxi, a ferry, a canoe, a donkey cart, a motor bike on the beach and a raft for getting there and back again.

Nothing.

Fantastic hospitality and a great spot to get away from it all for a few days. Good food, and Sheriff was very accommodating, making sure that our 2 year old was going to be happy with the meals. We all had a great time!

No real issues. I'd just be sure to know that it's rustic accommodations and very isolated. Those were positives for us, but make sure expectations are correct.

The location was amazing. The staff were very very helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to get the meals we wanted, despite the remote location. We went there by boat from Toubacouta which was a wonderful journey and one I would highly recommend. You will need to ask a local guide about this. And back by truck along the beach. The island was interesting and the birds were wonderful. This is an area on the borders of Senegal where it is really hard to get currency if you stay for long. The manager here is happy to take any currency, including paying your bill in a mixture of whatever you have.

If you go by boat you will probably arrive at the Senegalese part of the island where they were not at all helpful helping us to find this place which is in Gambia. And they charged us a Senegalese desident tax although they knew we were staying in Gambia. You really do need to phone the Lodge in advance for precise directions as your boat can pull up on the beach right outside the Lodge.

Beautiful nature, easy going island life

It's really nice to dive in the live of the people living on this island. The island is beautiful and definitely worth a stay. Trip to Senegal and boat fishing on the river was nice and recommendable. Very peaceful and beautiful nature.

Very basic, not really comfortable and sometimes no water. Poor time management.
