The hotel was well-maintained and tastefully decorated. We loved the British red traditional phone box and post box out the front of the hotel the post box was also in operation, which was really handy to send postcards home. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable, there was also a fridge and kettle in the room which came in handy. There was a really nice swimming pool in the center of the hotel, and it also had well maintained gardens all the way down to the beach. Which was only a 3 minutes walk away. The hotel bar was nice and full of character with a good wine list. Paula, the manager couldn’t do enough for us. She was lovely. All the other staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great. Plenty of variety and good quality with fresh juices and ground freshly brewed coffee which was a brewing ready for us when we got to the breakfast room every morning. I’ll definitely be returning to this hotel in the near future. Many thanks. Sam and Emily. Wales - UK

There was a miserable and unfriendly family there that kept whingeing about things that really didn’t need whinging about. They also kept calling noodles, Chinese spaghetti, which was annoying but funny!😂 You get people like that everywhere though. That’s not a negative on the hotel.

The staff was extremely accommodating. due to flight delays we arrived quite late, but we were well greeted for our transport from the airport, and we’ll taken care of upon our 1 am arrival. And on the morning of our departure we had an early connection for a booked tour but the staff was able to arrange for an early breakfast for us.

relaxed atmosphere, staff always happy to help

Only comment would be possibly a more diverse menu, outside of heavy carbs and more roasted vegetable options.

Everything amazing , specialy the staff from the manager until the kitchen chef. Breakfast amazing and fresh Always, also the rooms very clean with AC. Gambia its an amazing place and the beach just in front of the hotel.

WiFi and Electric very good. Staff Malan and Amie excellent. Rooms are comfortable.Aircon is good.

Transfer cost €25 awful quote for distance 1 way to airport of 15-20 mins.Isolated from local shops.A large guest house that attempts to be a hotel.Prices at bar and menu reflect this.Limited to No channels in room during my stay.Place appears like an English large family home/ guest house. Beach inaccessible roads access roads not good.Menu prices of the scale No 24 hour service like a hotel. For a Tuley Gambian experience plenty other locations are better.Balcony very narrow and knees touch barrier.Aircon leaks onto that area constantly big slip hazard. Not suitable for children. POOL is also very deep.Over all feel Private home attempting to be a hotel.Not quite there for me as a regular visitor to Gambia 15 years 3-4 times a year.

staff very friendly

- my hotel room wasn’t ready upon my arrival (at 6pm) - very poor cleanliness - no one came to clean to the room during the stay (even though we proceeded as asked by the staff to leave the key room in a box at the lobby) - towels and bed linens full of stains and ripped - in the hotel’s Booking.com page doesn’t state they only take cash nor did they mentioned upon check in, and I was only told that at my last night (at 9pm)

The room was big with excellent Wi-Fi. The garden was quite nice, and it was a short (10-min) walk to the beach. The lunchtime pizza was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, and allowed me to stay for a later checkout.

I arrived late at night and it was difficult to rouse the night-time porter/guard to let me in. I had to wait a very long time for my lunchtime pizza.

We liked the size of our enormous room with an ocean view and pool view. We loved the balcony and morning visits from the monkeys.

All around this is a terrific option! The staff were fantastic and all amenities including great wifi, a swimming pool, a pool/ snooker table and great pizzas make for a good stay. Our 2nd floor large room was excellent. Thanks Paula and team!

nice clean

The room is huge, good food at the restaurant, and the location is close to the beach, just a short walk downhill (and uphill on the way back). The manager was so sweet. She called us a driver for a trip to the nearby sights. The hotel accepts euros as well as dalasi. Late checkout was available for our midnight flight home. Thank you!

Although dinner was good, the kitchen would take a long time to make it. We had to wait for over an hour for food to come out (on two separate evenings). Breakfast was just OK, hostel quality. No local beer at the bar (only Sagres from Portugal was available).

No problems

Lovely room, excellent pool, gardens and restaurant

clean spacious & teddy

food service & lack of choice

The villa is located near one of the most beautiful beaches in the area! The room is very large, the beds are very comfortable, except for the extra one. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast good, and the food at the restaurant excellent. Wi-fi was working pretty well. Teddy is very cute and he was the hotel mascot! ;-)

The location is directly at the ocean - beautiful and quiet. A small walk to restaurants and shops must be accepted for that fact. We loved the staff and the pool and service...

Paula, Mala, Sonia, Bibi & all the staff so wonderfully friendly & cheerful. Nothing was ever a problem if you needed help, advice, a spare toilet roll, some food, water, even a chat. Great location just steps from beautiful Bijilo beach.

Nothing.

The general housekeeping staff where very good

On booking the room it was said to have a balcony. There was no balcony and the TV never worked in the whole 2 weeks I was there. Breakfast - They had the same on thing the menu everyday. No variety and did not cater for vegetarian. Even after we had address things in an email.

Breakfast could have been better, it was very simple.

Air con wasn’t included in the price
