Baobab Holiday Resort

Horrendous, night club on site, prostitutes attempting to access your room. Staff were nice. Only stayed 3 nights then paid to stay elsewhere. Had to pay an extra£5 each per night for air conditioning and the fridge.
It was a nice site, but totally ruined by experience.

It’s good on average .

The place was comfortable, easily. Accessible and many food options.

Da jeg booket så det ut som hotellet lå ved stranda. Det gjorde det ikke! Ikke bra!! Vi måtte krysse en svær motorvei til fots med livet som innsats for å komme til stranda. Blir et annet hotell neste gang.
Hyggelig betjening, men veldig langsomt. Slitt, men koselig. Trafikkstøy fra motorveien!

Nice basic accommodation in a great location. Rooms are comfortable and clean but no frills. Pool area is nice, the bar next to it is good for cheap beer and snacks. Restaurant on-site is pretty good. Air conditioning costs extra but I think it's reasonable (plus it cools off enough at night to where it's not necessary, especially for downstairs rooms). It's close to the main beaches and nightlife in Kololi and Senegambia, and getting a quick taxi to them is easy. If you're looking to hang out and relax by the pool, go to the beach, and go out at night to the restaurants and bars, Baobab Holiday Resort is a good choice.

Einfach eine andere Unterkunft buchen, gibt so viel Schöneres in der Umgebung! Einfach in de Jahre gekommen, da hilft auch keine Renovierung mehr…

I like that it is close to the beach but the noise pool party because it was weekend cause a lot of noise.

good location, just a pity that the road in front of the hotel was being renewed during my visit. hotel has friendly staff, every weekend there is a party in the restaurant by locals, which continues until midnight. You can also arrange a tourist ride in the hotel via Yankuba. Breakfast is standard but good for Gambian standards. the room is nice and cool and has a fridge and nice shower. I enjoyed 2 weeks. Tip : make a round prices at hotel and restaurant like 150200/250. Becouse they have not change when you charge 320/545/145. I give tip when i want .

I go to Gambia frequently and like to have a hotel on first night to ensure I have a meal and am properly hydrated. I love this place - I have never needed to book. It is an African Hotel to the extent that the rooms are spartan but the hotel service is good and the pool bar serves the coldest beer in Gambia.The restaurant is only ok. Customer service is poor - and there is 'no change' . The food is quite good and the Afra is nice. Some of the restaurant staff have ben there too long. Breakfast is good and at 300GMD well priced. There is a cohort of long stay guests which is nice to see. Well placed for the beach.

They will squeeze every euro out of you. A/C 6 euro per night. Card machine broken so obliged to change cash against their bad rates.

Also good food poisoning in their restaurant.

Bad Wi-Fi. Works for messaging and browsing but not streaming or video calling.

Plus: Base price is not expensive, pool area is okay, most personnel very friendly. Room old and cheap, but clean.

hotel was very good. Staff is friendly and helpful. it is a lively hotel with a lot of music on the weekends. pool is clean and not too warm thankfully. bar is adequate, menu is nice, but on the expensive side for a 2 star hotel. prices have gone up considerably after the pandemic. one should not exaggerate. Furthermore, you have to take into account that people have almost no change, so you automatically pay a tip. you can rent your own fridge and fill it with drinks. in addition to the hotel, there are also excuses possible. you can also rent a safe. there are tourist taxis available at the exit. Please note that the road is under construction at the moment

Very nice, very clean, cozy, family and community oriented.
It’s a home away from home.

Nette kamer, goed ontbijt, werkende wifi, aggregaat dat binnen 10 seconde na stroomuitval aanslaat.
Voor Gambiaanse standaard alles zeer goed voor de prijs!

The most accommodative place, if there is anything wrong they're quick to fix it. Lovely staff, we go several times a year and its always like going home! Can't wait to head back. Friendly, welcoming place.

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?

If all meals can be included on the package that will be 😊......we really enjoyed our stay and will come back again in future.

Staff works hard to make guests happy

We spend a week in hotel Baobob. The rooms need desperate renovations. Dressers drawers has broken handles, shower has no curtain so alsways a indoor swimming pool. Bed sheets are so often washed that they have holes. No chair in the room. Breakfast is ok except the coffee. NEscafe. Why? There is a coffee machine and then you have to drink for breakfast instant Coffee? Why?

My son and I went for dinner here January 2018. I had been before 2 years ago. Sadly the meal wasn't great. Quite expensive for what it was. My son had a margarita pizza which was nice,I ordered chicken Benechin which arrived full of hard peas!!! Benechin doesn't have peas in it...as a local Gambian dish the Gambians wouldn't have freezers to keep frozen peas in!!! My guess was they were trying to bulk out the meal. The chicken was awful and very chewy....I didn't eat it. Staff weren't interested in the fact I hadn't eaten or enjoyed it. Unless you're staying there or go regularly I don't think they give you a second glance. Wouldn't go back.m

Clean pool and staff very helpful, breakfast very good. Would come back
