"It is not where it says on the map. I turned up expecting to be in actual Banjul but I was somewhere miles away. They didn't have any rooms even though I was booked in. Took me to another place that was nicer but again, not in the location it said. "
"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. "
"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"

"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...

"Second time staying here and it was just as good as the first. The service is impeccable and they really take care of their guests and the property.
The tiniest bug was that last time I rented an apartment that included a kettle for heating water. This time there wasn't one in the room as they're only in the apartments and not the other rooms. The staff found one for me so no issue at all really, just to let you know if it matters. "
"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."
"This review is for my return visit to the Gambia. After such a great experience during my first visit in this clean, comfortable hotel with great staff and every room with a stunning ocean view, my choice as to where to stay in second trip was made very easy. Highly recommend!"
"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!"
