Best holiday
Reviewed By R3332CJsarahpMy partner and I stayed here for a week in February and had the most amazing time. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the surroundings beautiful, and the food excellent. Staying in Brufut was perfect for us because it was very chilled and you could easily get to the beach. Last but definitely not least the staff were all extremely kind, friendly and attentive, and would chat with us about where to go / help us out with anything. Would really highly recommend!
2. Leo's Beach Hotel & Restaurant
Overall Ratings
5 based on 187 reviews
Leo's Beach Hotel & Restaurant is a chic Boutique Hotel directly on a cliff above the wonderful tranquil beach of Brufut. Modern design and excellent service in a fantastic African landscape. High standard and soothing quiet in a modern ambiance with African accents guarantee that you can spend a relaxing and inspiring time.
Cool ambience in West Africa
Reviewed By TheTravellingSurgeonLocated in the quieter and more up-market Brufut area, Leo's is a beautiful 6 bedroom boutique hotel with ocean views and a lush garden. This is 5 star luxury on a small scale at 3 star prices. We spent 6 nights here which was probably enough, but didn't tire of the cool ambience and great service. Fixing a couple of minor irritations could improve things further - better WiFi in the bedrooms and a more generous breakfast menu. Free water in big dispensers might encourage less single use plastic usage. Overall, excellent. Thank you.
3. Ocean Villa Heights
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 64 reviews
Following a very successful season we have continued to upgrade and improve our hotel. With six brand new bedrooms in our architect designed annex and the development of the pool and garden area including our new Surf'n'Turf restaurant we aim to provide a warm welcome where it meets the cool Atlantic breeze. Ocean Villa Heights, the small hotel with a big personality.
Lovely hotel close to the beach, quaint location, basic but clean.
Reviewed By PinkVisited for a week with my mother to celebrate my birthday. Communication was brilliant prior to arrival and a return airport transfer was arranged which was a lovely touch - especially being my mother's first time in West Africa & use being two women alone. The lovely Bibi met us at the airport & kept us safe on the drive to Bijilo despite various roadside protests/parties en route which was often a little frightening - especially in the dark. Our room was as expected - specious and clean although very basic. The lovely Paula got our safe & fridge working the following morning & we met her gorgeous little dog Teddy who became our companion & resident entertainer for the week. Paula was beyond helpful throughout the week, providing us with local advice, currency exchange, arranging food & drinks & answering our queries. The lovely bar man/pool guy Mala is such a lovely gentle soul always with a smile each morning - an asset to the team. Sonia & Fatima too & the lovely cleaning ladies, one of whom decorated my bed on my birthday. Of course the lovely Mala - thank you for my floral arrangement on my birthday morning too. Breakfast each morning as great - fresh bread and omelettes freshly made alongside yoghurt, juice, tea & fresh coffee. Often fresh fruit too. Lunches & Dinner were lovely. We had roast chicken, salads, sandwiches & fish. All beautifully cooked & tasty. The location is in a strip on the main Bijilo Heights road. Harmony resort & Leos within the vicinity. You'll need a torch for the evenings in case the street lights are out - it's pitch black & the sandy road is uneven. Each property has security outside. Overall a lovely find close to the best stretch of beach in the area. We will of course return.

A hidden gem
Reviewed By Nomad54720374501Our 6th stay at Camara Gardens and we will be back. Beautifully presented by the owner Denise and her Gambian family. The apartments are very comfortable with European style fixtures and fittings including an excellent shower and very comfortable beds. Outside is a lovely pool which is always clean and well maintained. A very relaxing atmosphere where one can just lounge by the pool or take a short walk to lovely beaches
5. Harmony Resort Boutique Hotel
Overall Ratings

Harmony Resort Boutique Hotel is located on the cliffs of Brufut Heights. This offers uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Brufut beach area is one of Gambia's best beaches. Located away from the tourist areas. To get to the beach you would need to make your way down the rust colored cliffs. Harmony Resort Boutique Hotel has 13 suites, facing the ocean. There is an outdoor bar/restaurant and an outdoor pool. There is a huge garden perfect for sunbathing.
Substandard for westerners
Reviewed By 283bettinalsubstandard for westerners negative: smells unpleasant, the furniture mostly desolate, the doors broken, dirty, unsanitary, internet miserable. the view from the room is on a dirt road that resembles a garbage dump. the pool is dirty, and the beach also a garbage dump. The breakfast is meager. Unfortunately we did not see the room before paying. We left 3 days early because the hotel was so bad and did not get any money back. Supposedly the hotel is in the best location, but the Gambia is a developing country (gravel roads, garbage everywhere). After 6:30 you don't want to go out anyway. Even the most expensive hotel in Gambia (Coco Ocean) has the same problems and deserves the same rating (only at triple the price). positive: the staff is friendly and helpful.
6. Heather's Retreat
7. Sea Breeze Apartments
Sea Breeze Apartments is a fantastic and modern apartment block with rooms that have all the modern conveniences you need for a comfortable stay; fans, air conditioning, smart tv and more. The apartment block is few minutes drive from the Senegambia tourist strip but it is close enough for visitors to enjoy its attractions.
