Places to stay in The Gambia

The apartment is located fairly close to the Senegambia strip where the main tourist hotels, restaurants and money changers are located. There is a very good local supermarket that sells all the commodities required for self catering. Nearby are a few restaurants but not a great choice. The beach access is quite difficult for anyone with mobility issues. There is a rough uneven track combined with a steep gradient before you reach the beach. Once you have reached the beach you can walk for miles in either direction. Alongside the property is the famous monkey park. Although several tourists suggested a visit there was little need as the monkeys came us us! Although they are cute to look at, care must be taken to avoid leaving doors and windows open as they will take full advantage.

Die Unterkunft zu finden schien zunächst schwierig, da der Fahrer es gewohnt war, eine mündliche Weg Beschreibung zu bekommen. Es gibt keine Straßennamen! Und!: Ich hatte mit meiner dtsch Simcard keinen Empfang. Birgit hat auf meine Nachricht über das Handy vom Fahrer - wie immer - schnell reagiert… und erklärte dem Fahrer den Weg. So ging es perfekt! Sehr schön ruhig gelegen! Ich fühlte mich sicher!! Frühstück sehr liebevoll und abwechslungsreich! Auf dem Balkon mit etwas Einblick in das nachbarschaftliche Wohnen. Mein Zimmer war sehr geräumig, alles bestens! Schon vor meiner Ankunft regelmäßig Kontakt! Birgit spürt sofort, was man braucht: Ob Ruhe oder das Gegenteil, Infos und schnelle Alternativen, falks etwas nicht geht, Infis über das gambische Leben,….Verhaltensregeln, die gut funktionieren,…. Man ist bei Birgit und Amadou super aufgehoben!!!

Adi's team and assistants were very nice and ready to help even when Adi is not available. The best part is the quiet of the environment.

Our staying with Mariama and Lamin was amazing! They picked us up at the airport and we had a delicious dinner with them. The room was big and had everything you needed. Mariama, Lamin and the rest of the crew were very welcoming and helpful! We definetly recommend staying with them :) Abaraka!

I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Awa's family compound. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. The market was in walking distance to buy food to cook. This spacious and beautifully decorated apartment had all of the essentials for our weeklong stay, plus nice touches such as plenty of mirrors. Also super easy getting transportation from the main road. Will definitely stay again!

Dennis is a really kind person. Always listening to what we need and helping for everything if needed. I really recommend, his place is very nice and we feel like home. I just kept on extending my stay since I was so comfortable there. 10min to Senegambia so very well located. I will be back again for sure. Thanks for everything.

FATOU WAS THE BEST AIRBNB HOST IVE EVER HAD!! I spent the week at her beautiful apartment in Gambia, and I’m so happy with my choice. The flat is so beautiful and clean, with a furnished balcony overlooking the beach which was 2 seconds away. I was here for work and relaxation, so I could work from the apartment or downstairs at the bar and pool. Loads of shops and places to eat nearby too, making this a brilliant location to stay. Fatou gave me loads of recommendations of places to eat and things to do, she’s also super fast at responding and is lovely enough to go out of her way for people! If you come to Gambia, you have to stay here. Better than a hotel in my opinion ✨

This was a wonderful stay. The room was amazing. The doors opened up onto the beach so you really hear the ocean and see it from your bed. Lots of space in the room and lovely hot shower. Kembas the hosy was exeptional. He went above and beyond his duties. He organised all my trips and escorted me, along with his lovely taxi driver Osman. His team are spectacular. Always making sure you are ok. They even built me a camp fire in the evening which was lovely. It is a bit breezy in the evning being so close to the coast so bring something warm with you. I felt totally safe and cared for as a solo traveller. These guys are really lovely. Kembas has such a good heart and he is so funny and entertaing too. You will love it.
