Seaview Gardens Hotel

"Not a bad location and some rooms are OK... My daughter and niece stayed there for the last 2 weeks and had a terrible time. To start with they were put in a temporary room that stunk of damp then after complaining they were given another room. It was supposed to be a triple room (I was supposed to stay too) but the room only had a double bed after complaining again they were given a filthy and broken single bed. They refused to stay and joined me somewhere else for the night. The following day the manager was very reasonable and sorted the room situation. The new rooms were nice and clean. The pool was dirty despite being cleared each day, the toilets at the pool were filthy and the beds and tables and chairs are very dusty (some attributed to the roadworks in the area) One of the cleaners touched my daughter inappropriately outside her room. She went in her room and locked it after telling him off but he continued knocking her door. This matter was sorted by the manager only after threats to call the police. She was very angry and said she would not tolerate that behaviour and he was sacked. Other staff were very sympathetic toward her after and agreed customers should not have to tolerate this Later the lock came out with her key as she went to her room. She spent the night with chairs against the door and the door was fixed the morning after.there will need to be big changes before I would recommend this place."

Senegambia Beach Hotel

"The Senegambia Hotel is located in a beautiful park and has a charm all its own. The room was clean, simply but adequately furnished. A small refrigerator and safe are available. The bathroom lacks a bit of counter space, but the shower with decent water pressure was a definite plus. The pools are great, and the beach is a bit unusual but also very beautiful. Friendly staff. We will choose this hotel again and again, especially given its prime location (right on the Strip)."

Mansea Beach Hotel

"I booked and paid for accommodation at this hotel in advance (₦336,000 / approximately $240 USD equivalent) for a stay in July 2026, ahead of an international academic conference in The Gambia. On arrival, the property was in poor condition and materially different from what was represented when I booked. The rooms were not of an acceptable standard, and I did not feel it was a safe or suitable place to stay, particularly as a woman travelling alone in a country I was visiting for the first time. I made the decision to leave and find alternative accommodation at my own additional cost. When I requested a refund, the owner refused. He told me directly that my money had already been used to renovate the hotel. To be clear: I received no refund at all — not even a partial one — for services I paid for and did not use because the property was not as advertised. I later raised the matter through the local contact who had arranged the booking. The response relayed back to me included dismissive and insulting remarks about our decision to leave, rather than any attempt to resolve the matter. I am writing this review so other travellers, especially international visitors and conference attendees unfamiliar with the area, can make an informed decision. My honest advice: do not pay this property in advance, and inspect any room in person before committing money. Based on my experience, if anything goes wrong, you should not expect a refund or professional treatment."

Forest View Apartments

"We have just arrived back from Senegambia and stayed in one of the Forrest view apartments for 1 week. The apartment was large with 3 double bedrooms, one ensuite. Beds were clean as was the furniture and toilets but the walls and styling around the doors had months of hand prints on them and looked quite dirty. We were in room B4, our windows all faced on to the back of the Motherland Bar/Nightclub and the noise was unbelievable and went on until 5am. The noice was not just confined to the visitors at the back of the apartment as others we spoke to could hear it too. The staff apologised and said they couldn't do anything about it. Very well equipped apartments. Staff were all lovely and very welcoming and friendly. The pool area was very nice and always being cleaned. There is about 12 beds to use if lying by the pool. The area in which the apartments are situated is fantastic and sits on The Strip, a very lively area with lots of restaurants, bars and entertainment. If I was to write a negative it would have to be about the air pollution from the hundreds of old cars that run up and down the strip during the day and night, not that it is really anything to do with the apartments, but you could smell and taste the fumes."

Relax Luxury Ocean View Apartment

Bungalow Beach Hotel

"Ideal hotel and location for the older people or couples, especially the self catering apart-hotels. Very polite and friendly staff. Literally on the beach with easy access to a wide shallow beach. Easy to access bird-watching and creek tours by canoe. Spent a month there and looking forward to going back in November. Excellent value for money! Highly recommended!"

Kombo Oasis

Baobab Holiday Resort

"good location, just a pity that the road in front of the hotel was being renewed during my visit. hotel has friendly staff, every weekend there is a party in the restaurant by locals, which continues until midnight. You can also arrange a tourist ride in the hotel via Yankuba. Breakfast is standard but good for Gambian standards. the room is nice and cool and has a fridge and nice shower. I enjoyed 2 weeks. Tip : make a round prices at hotel and restaurant like 150200/250. Becouse they have not change when you charge 320/545/145. I give tip when i want ."
