Relaxing and pleasant stay

Great welcoming staff, lovely pool to relax and cool down, fantastic breakfast including eggs and fruit salad. We were the only guests there as low season and staff very accommodating to our needs. It was the Euro championship final and they made sure some of our party could watch the final on tv. Rooms were very clean and well care for. Bedding very comfortable on main room. Swimming pool is small but very clean and deep so you can swim. They turn on the lights at night if you fancy swimming then Very convenient for local transport to local day trips and close to many restaurants/bars and minimarkets

We had the family room which includes a large king bed in a bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. Fantastic AC in the bedroom but no AC in the living room so those who slept in the living room were not happy. It would have been better to have two rooms after all. this was not made clear Everything else is very good

A comfortable home away from home

The staff is friendly and respectful. Whatever we needed, the staff was willing to assist us. Our room was a nice size and was very clean. They do have a safe in the room. There was a window AC which I used at night. The breakfast they offered was made to order omelette, tea, coffee, the local made bread, corn flakes cereal, seasonal fruit plate. They also have butter, jam, peanut butter etc.. The pool is cleaned daily. It is not too big but it is deep. There are a few mini markets and restaurants within walking distance. We felt at home here and I would stay again.

The size of the bathroom is small. Similar to the cabin bathroom size on a cruise ship. There isn't a mini fridge in the room. Guests can use the communal fridge located in the outside dining patio. Not a big deal but for those that drive a car, there is only space to park maximum 3 cars in their gated court yard. They are located on a quiet street so cars can also park on side of road

Trevligt boende i behagligt område. Nära till affärer och växlingskontor. Pool, Skön innergård, mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Utmärkt mat likaså. Här bor jag gärna igen!

Underbart! Kanske den bästa semestern jag haft. Gambia, hotellet och folket är bara så avslappnat.

Underbart att sitta i mörkret bland stjärnorna och se ljuset komma med en kopp kaffe och varma bagetter från bageriet bredvid. Poolen var svalkande när solen steg upp och den kändes ren och fräsch. Vi nyttjade den varje dag liksom middagarna på det lilla mysiga hotellets restaurang. Man sover bra i sängarna och elen funkar nästan hela tiden och air condition finns om man vill ha den på. Mycket familjärt man känner sig som familj med ägarna och personalen.

Faktiskt inget.

A Charming Place and Excellent Value

Dabo House is a sweet little hotel with plenty of character and kind, thoughtful, accommodating staff. It is convenient to shops, restaurants, and the beach, but in a location that does not feel touristy.

wonderful

We had a wonderful time at Dabo House. They are close to the beach, have a pool, free wifi, AC and a fan (for some hotels you have to pay extra for those) and breakfast was included. The staff was very attentive and the room was clean and comfortable. The location is good because it is not the touristy area so you are not harassed by people trying to sell you stuffs.

You get power cut sometimes but that is normal in the Gambia, and they have a generator in case of long power cuts.

Home away from home

Amazing little place, feels like a home away from home. Salif couldn't do more to make you feel welcome and adapt to your needs. The location is wonderfully peaceful but not too far from shops and other facilities. Would return in a heartbeat.

Amazing place to stay

It was an amazing place to stay, I highly recommended it and will happily stay there again. The staff could not do enough for you. I mark it 11 out of 10.

Hubby's suggestion is maybe have a small TV and fridge in the rooms.

The staff is great, 10/10

the staff was amazing! very friendly and very accommodating. they even allowed us to check out a little later and helped find a taxi. Breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared. Everything was squeaky clean!

smoking on the compound is not allowed. Which is fair enough, but as a woman standing in a small road at night on my own is very uncomfortable. maybe a designated smoking area at certain times would be a solution?

Great local place with the staff so helpful and friendly. Everything was perfect and it is definitely great value for money. Breakfast is great and they can also cook lunch and dinner. There are also a couple of restaurants around with the Beach at walking distance as well (less than 2km). If you find it available do not hesitate and book it.

An Awesome Oasis of Fun and Relaxation in the Gambia

Property, staff and breakfasts are awesome. Clean, light and airy. The terrace furniture is especially comfortable when you want to enjoy outdoors. If you choose to have dinner there, Salif is an excellent chef. It's a wonderful place to relax and the atmosphere is perfect. If you're thinking about working while you're there you're going to need to be very disciplined because the place encourages fun and relaxation more than working. Though the space in the dining area provides a good laptop area. Get a djembe or kora lesson while you're at Dabo house. You won't regret it. Also, when you need a cab, let them know and they'll call a trusted cabbie for you. Reduces the haggle hassle on the street. The mini market is a 2-minute walk and is well-stocked. You get a shelf in the fridge at Dabo House so it's a good place to keep drinks and such.

All is good.

Breakfast, 2eggs either fried, boiled,scrambled or omelette plus 1 frankfurter sausage, small plate of fruit, not much choice in fruit juice. bedding and towels changed only once in my stay of 28 days room cleaned only once in 28 days, for the money l paid for this accommodation ( £906.00 local currency GDM 61000.00 ) l do not expect to have to pay extra for these services,

Wow great place, very clean and comfortable, hot showers (most of the time)! As for the staff, we'll they could not be more helpful and happy, especially Salif who obliged our requests every way possible, he is worth every dalasis he earns and more! The owner Mr Dabo also accomodated us by allowing visits from the family we have in Gambia. Big thankyou to all.

No complaints at all!!

Your home in the Gambia

This place has a perfect location for pretty much everything, 15 minutes walk to the beach, supermarkets and restaurants are really close. But I prefer Salifs yummy food almost every evening! Salif, Amara and Mohamed are true gems who can help you with whatever you need, the owners are really nice also. I stayed in room 2, and the bed is so comfy! Toilet and shower is good. I love the pool area also. And all peace and quiet this place give. Really it is your home in Africa!

Lovely place , lovely people,

We loved every minute of our stay at Dabo house , great hosting from Ulrika and the team. The staff are friendly and helpful , special thanks to Salif for looking after us and Yanmara ( apologies if spelling is wrong) for making it possible for us to watch the Arsenal football match , much appreciated. Lovely enclosed courtyard with pool and seating , clean , comfortable rooms and a good breakfast included, great value for money . We were lucky to be staying at the same time as a “ drum and dance “ group, lovely people , great entertainment, the performance on the beach was fantastic 👏👏👏.

Nothing I can think of.
