Pros:

De locatie, zicht op zee. Goed onderhouden zwembad.

Cons:

De foto tijdens het boeken kwam totaal niet overeen met de eigenlijke accomodatie waar we verbleven. Bij hierover aanspreken, ging men hier niet op in.
Gevraagde 3e bed was een pover 'reisbedje' waar de metalen veringen duidelijk voelbaar waren, na veel aandringen werd een 2e matras opgelegd. Geen muskietennet voorzien. De kamer was vuil, vooral de badkamer!

Décevant pour un resort.
Pros:

- La proximité avec la plage.

Cons:

- Le WI-FI médiocre,
- La sympathie du personnel,
- Piscine de notre chambre inutilisable car, à l’ombre et donc l’eau froide,
- La sonorisation des chambres et l’occultation des tentures,
- La pression de la douche était honteusement faible,
- Pas de porte pour les toilettes, merci les odeurs..,

Pour conclure, le rapport/qualité prix est fortement à revoir.

Beliggenheten og stranden er nydelig, personalet er serviceminded og hyggelige, bortsett fra et par av de som jobber i r
Pros:

Fin beliggenhet, rett på nydelig strand med kokospalmer. Store rom med havutsikt og egen pool. Veldig hyggelig personale i restauranten, strandgutta og de som stelte rommene.

Cons:

Shabby og dårlig vedlikeholdt! Dette hotellet kunne vært en perle dersom eier hadde investert i oppgradering av stedet!Veldig dårlig trykk i dusjen, nesten umulig å få skylt ut sjampo av håret.
Sette inn dør mellom badet og rommet, det er lite hyggelig å høre romkameraten sitte på wc….

naar Europese norm was het verblijf ondermaats
Pros:

goed

Cons:

Kamer geboekt met zeezicht geboekt, bij aankomst werden we zonder reden in een andere kamer ondergebracht!
Na klachten bleek het pas de volgende dag mogelijk om een andere kamer te krijgen.

Gutes Hotel mit TOP Lage
Pros:

Sehr gutes Hotel und mein Start für die Reise durch Gambia. Das Zimmer war TOP und jeder Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich (ausser der Manager, der stand über allen). Kann das Hotel nur empfehlen.
Gute Lage am.Strand lang geht es zum Touri Zentrum. Man ist schnell überall.

Cons:

Der shuttle Service ist mit 40€ zu teuer!
Sonst hat alles gepasst!

Tilbakemekding på Belafon hotell
Pros:

Perfekt beliggenhet ved stranden, god frokost. Fint uteomeråde rundt bassenget. De fleste av betjeningen var imøtekommende og blide.

Cons:

Mindre pent inngansparti og resepsjon. Slitte rom, behov for oppgradering. Dårlig trykk med vann i dusjen, noen ganger var det ikke vann i det hele tatt, verken dusj, toalett eller vasken.
