Staff are always cleaning and mopping floors, in the 7 days I was there I never saw an insect in my room. Air con is extra but the large ceiling fan was adequate. Staff are all very polite and friendly. I would stay there again. ##### Jenni Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Trevor Apr 12, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### TIP Have stayed in The Gambia on many of occasion and at the sister hotel Djeliba three times with no complaints. We decided to take our three girls with us this time for the Gambia Experience so decided to try and upgrade a little. 2 bedroom villa for five 12 night stay toilet never flushed correctly from day one reported a minimum of once daily to reception and also to the so called site plumber, was fixed on the eleventh day 2 hours before we left. Couldn't block it with toilet roll as was only supplied one per day (for five people). Room towels sometimes lucky if got three but mostly two for five people we did get five twice every other time was a trip to reception, then told they would bring to room just didn't say what day. Pool towels if you got one don't let go as could be two to three days before you seen another. Seven times in one day to get key card reset (wasn't near mobile phone) three time's back and forward to reception and still not working. Breakfast was from 7am to 10am. No started to prepare at 7am if you had a trip booked for 7-30 maybe toast and jam if you made yourself ##### Trevor ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha Jan 14, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay Stayed in the villa part of this hotel, couldn't fault it. Very clean, helpful staff, lovely pool and beach access from pool. Security really good, don't allow people to be bothered by local people selling things/access hotel/allocated part of the beach. Hotel drinks and food reasonably priced, other restaurants close by if eating out of hotel. The hotel owns a bar next door poco loco, which is really good for live music and drinks. ##### Samantha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 3, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and friendly locally owned hotel Djembe Beach Hotel upgraded us on arrival to their new rooms which had been built in traditional Gambian style to one side of the existing hotel. The rooms were huge with balconies opening out onto the sea, large bathrooms, fridge, tea & coffee making facilities and hairdryer. Lots of drawers and storage too although the drawers were made a little flimsily. The hotel are very welcoming and we enjoyed our 2 weeks here. The 1st week we stayed they had not yet opened up the 2nd breakfast terrace besides our rooms so found it a little chaotic in the mornings and witnessed near fights over pancakes! Breakfast is advertised as starting at 7am but in fact although they are open at 7 very little is ready as we discovered to our detriment on a morning we were being picked up at 7.30am to go on a trip. Lovely beach and poolside recliners and very accommodating attendants who will turn and move your lounger throughout the day to better help you catch the sun. They also prevent you being constantly approached to buy things on the beach as the beach is private above the high water line. Staff are very friendly, perhaps a tad over friendly in a few cases, when chilling happily on my own on my verandah I found the night security a little over friendly and my daughter had a younger member of staff ask her for money on more than 1 occasion. These small issues aside I would be happy to stay at this hotel in the future. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 25, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Gambia, December 2016 We had a two bed villa, directly on the beach front. Probably the best position in the whole complex (Villa nineteen). The rooms were not ready for us when we arrived (which was after 3.30pm) and there was no air conditioning or safety deposit box. However, we managed to get a safe after requesting one and the air conditioning was activated after around an hour - by which time the rooms were cleaned and ready for us. The air conditioning was pretty good once activated (it is a machine unit fixed to the bedroom walls). There is no a/c in the main living room (although there is an overhead fan). Be warned though - the a/c costs eight pounds per night, per room, so quite a shock to the wallet when you check out! The hotel is generally excellent in terms of staff, security, cleaning, and location. But the cleaners have a strange habit of removing all towels from your rooms by 9am and not returning any clean towels until mid-afternoon. So we had to 'hide' the towels when we went for breakfast to ensure we could use the bathroom and swimming pool etc. No idea why they do this. The breakfast is very chaotic though - they seldom have enough tables and there are never enough cutlery, cups or plates. Having said that, the omelettes are good, with fresh pancakes also. Hot food is sausages, porridge, eggs - no bacon of course. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Carol Dec 25, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Do not book - plenty of better hotels (1) arrived with receipt but told no booking! Found me a room but told may have to move so difficult to unpack (2) in all my travels worldwide I have never met such rude staff so would never come back and would discourage others (3) food awful and £20 for a bottle of plonk recommend DO NOT BOOK ##### Carol ### 8/10 Good #### Laura, UK Apr 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely location Was a laid back hotel, was quieter and smaller than some of those nearby but this is what we wanted - on the beach front was easy to pop between your room, pool and beach. Excellent location for walking out on an evening to sample some truely amazing food. Pool and housekeeping staff are lovely. ##### Laura ### 8/10 Good #### fred, Kettering Mar 16, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Clean and friendly but don't buy drinks there, 10 times the price and more expensive than England ! cheaper 2 mins down the road at the blue angel ##### fred ### 6/10 Okay #### Matilda, Halmstad Mar 10, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mysigt men obekvämt Fint och mysigt hotell dock väldigt obekvämma sängar och rummet var tyvärr dåligt städat när vidcheckade in vilket kändes tråkigt! Det bästa med hotellet är poolen och baren mot havet där man kan slå sig ner på kvällen och njuta av solnedgången. ##### Matilda ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris Mar 6, 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Onlangs gerenoveerd hotel bij het strand Het hotel is onlangs gerenoveerd, ziet er modern uit. De badkamers die wij hadden waren echter voorzien van een regendouchekop, hieruit kwamen alleen druppels en het was erg moeilijk om een goede temperatuur in te stellen. De ligging bij het strand is prettig, je hebt vrijwel geen last van verkopers omdat ze niet bij de ligbedden mogen komen. Het ontbijt was simpel, maar voldoende. S'avonds ook diner mogelijk, maar het kan nogal waaien vanwege het strand en de eetruimte is geheel open. In de straat naar het hotel zijn diverse restaurants, echter geen erg goede, zo te zien, daarvoor kun je beter naar de Senegambia strip gaan (10-15 minuten lopen of taxi nemen). Schoonmaak duurde erg lang, s'ochtends rond 9 uur worden de handdoeken opgehaald en pas s'middags weer schone neergelegd. ##### Chris ### 8/10 Good #### Aisha en Lamin Feb 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Heerlijk verblijf! Goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding. Prima ontbijt, prima kamers en gezellig en vriendelijk personeel. Vooral Abdoulie (van het strand) en Amy (receptie) waren toppers: heel attent en waren altijd bereid een stapje extra te doen. Heerlijke locatie, fijn stuk op het strand (de Smiling Coast) waar het niet heel druk is maar alsnog dichtbij restaurantjes. Enige nadeel was de lunchkaart: paar dingen geprobeerd maar echt af te raden. Bovendien vonden we het jammer om te horen dat de hoteleigenaar het contact tussen de hotelgasten en locals probeert te voorkomen (minder omzet voor hem?). Ik zou zeggen: maak vooral juist het contact met de fruitdames, de lokale restaurants, de lokale taxichauffeurs etc! En maak een tripje door het binnenland. Dan pas zie je het echte gambia! ##### Aisha en Lamin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Jan 27, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### wonderful holiday Excellent location. Big bedroom with balcony,cleaned daily. Staff were friendly and helpful. Go see karafa outside the hotel gates over the road, he's a genuine lovely young lad who will help you get round the area. Go see Alex at the pool for towels. ##### Tina ### 8/10 Good #### Gert Arrind Mar 24, 2020 ##### Gert Arrind Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Aparthotels Odessa](https://www.expedia.ca/Odessa-Apart-Hotels.d553248635015280254-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Lemon Creek Hotel Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Serrekunda-Hotels-Lemon-Creek-Hotel-Resort.h10073174.Hotel-Information) > - [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > - [Romantic Hotels in Okanagan Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Okanagan-Centre-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d553248635976384036-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Venice](https://www.expedia.ca/Venice-Hotels.d179981.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Burgberg](https://www.expedia.ca/Burgberg-Hotels.d6360564.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Palm Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Serrekunda-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Hotel.h4497077.Hotel-Information) > - [Premium Real](https://www.expedia.ca/Medellin-Hotels-Ayenda-1257-Premium-Real.h15643918.Hotel-Information) > - [Waterpark Hotels in Reno](https://www.expedia.ca/Reno-Hotels-Waterpark-Hotels.0-0-d602688-tWaterparkHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Salem NH](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Salem-NH.h15807.Hotel-Information) > - [Newly Refreshed!!!
