Fabulous African Luxury

Reviewed By nicolaoI1229MW

We had a really lovely time at this beautiful hotel. The Reception and Guest Relations team could not have been more helpful, the waiting staff friendly, polite and efficient. In fact all the staff were super from the management to the cleaning and grounds team. Rather than leave tips as we went along we left 10% of our bill total at the end which is shared among the staff. The location was fabulous and sun-beds and cabanas plentiful and comfortable. The spa was beautiful and compared to other hotels of the same standard very reasonably priced. We ate at the hotel a lot and didn’t have a bad meal - the Thai was especially lovely (we didn’t realise you could have the Thai menu in either of the restaurants) and again not too pricey. All in all a fabulous stay - we will be back.

Last minute accommodation

Reviewed By Braszin

My air bnb driver did not show to pick us up from the airport. So I was greatful to be able at last minute to walk in at 1130 pm to book a room There is a resturant onsite and they serve ok food. Fried rice was delicious. Wifi- was poor because there was no service in my room. I had to keep going to the pool area. Rooms. Outdated as is the front reception, the pool creates a false illusion. Owner needs to invest in renovations. As there is power talking to be better. Payment : In trying to sort out usd to dalsi etc and not agreeable on the change I was to recieve back. They Manager gave me back 100 USD along with my change for payment by accident. But the time I realized I had this extra 100 I had already arrived at my intial accommodation, air bnb. And was going to travel back to return the funds then following day. This was where it for really weird. The Manager and a taxi driver were waiting outside of my air bnb to collect. It was so inappropriate and I felt unsafe and would never stay at this little place again. Also the night staff mistakened my conversation about politics within Africa, as an invitation to come to my room?

Kingfishers Apartments

Kingfishers Self Catering Holiday Apartments, Bijilo, The Gambia, is run by an English couple who are based on site, assisted by a small but very experienced and well established team. Located in a quiet residential area with local bars and restaurants within walking distance. We’re ideally situated for the discerning traveler – not just another hotel bound tourist. A short walk past Bijilo Forest will take you to the beach , a wonderfully unspoiled stretch of sand, giving you a chance to spot monkeys and exotic birds on the way. The main tourist area of Senegambia is just over a mile and here you will find supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Taxis run frequently from the top of the road.

An absolutely magnificent little gem

Reviewed By flickntrina

Thank you so much to Charlie and Clinton for making our stay at Kingfishers so enjoyable, we felt like we were in paradise ! The accommodation was excellent, everything we needed, spotlessly clean and maintained every day by Amadu or Tom (good boys ). we also felt very secure as the reception area is covered 24 hours, at night by Mam the nightwatchman - thanx. Entertainment provided by our hosts was also excellent , including the live music (band practice) once a week. The daily menu of "eat what Charlie and Clinton eat " was superb and many tasty home-cooked meals were enjoyed especially Sunday roast. Two pools, cleaned daily. Sunbeds and seating areas were all very good. Beautiful flower borders are all perfectly well maintained. Fishing trips were organised and greatly enjoyed by all. We are old codgers, who are well travelled and have been around the world a few times and have stayed in many different types of accommodation. From a mud hut on a desert island to the Burj al Arab in Dubai. Kingfishers in The Gambia, pound for pound beats the lot hands down. Originally we only planned to stay for 2 weeks in The Gambia but when we found Kingfishers we ended up staying for 2 months, it really felt like home. So thank you again Charlie and Clinton for everything, we will be back soon.

B & B Villa Calliandra

We welcome you to our small, exclusive B&B in a family environment. This already starts at the airport, where we can pick you up (option). The villa is located in a quiet area, but not far from the beach and the tourist center with its hotels, restaurants, bars, discos and shops. According to European standards we would have a *** plus rating. Our rooms all have their own bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. The family room / suite also has a bath. All rooms have a fridge, kettle, fan, fly windows and most have air conditioning (option). In the lounge you can watch TV or a DVD, listen to music or read a book from our small library. Wifi available in all rooms. The building is tastefully furnished to high standards and decorated with African art. A large part of the furniture is made by hand from local materials such as palm tree or bamboo. The continental breakfast buffet can be used indoors in the dining room or on the poolside terrace. The homemade cake, fruit juice and jam are delicious. We use as many local products as possible. The 10x5m swimming pool with sun beds and umbrellas is surrounded by a tropical garden. On the covered terrace is a small self-service bar. There is a gym where you can work out. If you do not want to go to the beach or at the swimming pool, we can give you many tips for visiting the region. You can also rent bicycles to explore the area. Personal service and friendly staff.

Great stay in Villa Calliandra/fantastisch verblijf in Villa Calliandra

Reviewed By Benedicte v

Villa Calliandra is run by Christiane from Belgium. She is very hospitable. The rooms are great and it is a great joy to use the pool in the back of the house courtyard after visiting any of the nearby sights. I can sincely recommend a stay here!!!! In the neighbourhood you will find a lot of restaurants. The sea is about 2 kms away. Christiane's garden is always cool and a great place to return to.

Bijilo Beach Hotel now closed

Reviewed By stephenghc

Regrettably because it had a good location, pool, staff, and reviews, and posted by me for clarity. The hotel has been sold to an Embassy as a residence as I understand it and is no longer an hotel. Adding this as people may not understand why reservation dates are no longer available.

Better not staying in this "Hotel"

Reviewed By chrisskywalker

I booked this "Hotel" with the travel agancy "FTI". Rooms are dirty, zink was broken, no hot water, electricity out from 9 am till 5 pm every day. Breakfast was just Nescafe or tea, baguette, 1 kind of marmelade, cucumbers, tomatoes, butter, 1 kind of juice and just one fried egg (on request). The worst "Hotel" I ever stayed in!
