Bakotu is a perfect choice if you are looking for peace and tranquillity but also be surrounded in wildlife. I am sorry to hear you found there to be a lack of meal options. Bakotu change their menu daily and cook everything to order so this may be why. Thank you for your review and the 5 stars.
very poor service in the resturant but captains table was good service

Meals at Bakotu are all freshly cooked to order and the menu changes daily, which can contribute to longer wait times for food unfortunately, although it is usually very worth the wait! Sadly mosquitos are everywhere in The Gambia and with the surroundings Bakotu is set it in, it can be very difficult to keep them away. I hope you managed to enjoy other aspects of your stay.

It's great to hear you found everything good and are looking to go back, we would love to welcome you back again in the future! Unfortunately many hotels do not allow non guests to visits hotel rooms, it would be recommended to meet outside of the hotel. Thank you for your comments.

This is great to hear! Ngala is certainly a perfect choice for rest and relaxation in beautiful surroundings. Thank you for your comments.
We are very sorry to hear you were so disappointed. Holiday Beach Club is a budget friendly hotel therefore room standards will not be the same quality as hotels that you pay a higher premium for, however cleanliness should always be maintained. We apologise you felt this was not the case. Thank you for your comments, they are appreciated.
