Overall the facilities were good.

As soon as you leave the hotel there are bumsters everywhere. However, thats typical for all touristic areas at the seaside in Senegambia, so nothing hotel specific. If you go to less touristic areas, you won't have this problem and get to know the real Gambian Kindness.

Beautiful resort with huge pool and very friendly staff. Clean and comfortable apartments. Sport activities like volleyball for those who are interested.

Breakfast lacking. The juices tasted like they was watered down a lot. The wonjo and ginger tasted very watery. The pool out of service and bright green and not allowed to bring your own food and drinks to a hotel and charging double, almost triple the amount than the store outside.

Good cleaner. Friendly staff. Very friendly

We had a great stay at the resort. It offered everything you'd expect from a 4* resort; very spacious room with a huge and comfortable bed, TV and aircon. It was literally two steps from the pool which was great! It has a strong shower with hote water if needed! The property has a great central bar where you can order your cocktail and food :), the pool has showers and toilets so when you check out early you can still enjoy the pool up until you need to leave. The reception looks after your belongings. It was very secure, there is a safe in the room but we didn't really use it as we felt the room was secured enough. The buffet breakfast provided a lot of options, warm and cold food and beverages. The resort has a lovely staff, very friendly and helpful, there is also a main entrance very friendly security team. There are restaurants and bars just across the road from the hotel, and walk to the beach is about 5 mins, as well as to the busy main road, where you can find more shops, bars and restaurants. The monkey park is nearby, walkable distance so very convenient. We have nothing negative to say about our stay, the wi-fi is not 100% reliable but it's doable and does the job.

The cleanliness, tranquil and staff hospitality

Overall a pretty nice place. After reading some of the most recent reviews I was wondering about the pool situation (after booking I did get a notification about ongoing construction still), but during my time there were no more renovations and it was fully functional and clean. Almost all the staff was extremely nice, helpful and professional. The wifi was fine in the bungalow I was staying in, power does cut in and out a lot (and sometimes stayed off for a while) but I doubt that‘s a hotel-specific problem, so no complaints there.

Patchy wifi Noise due to swimming pool renovation

Comfortable large room Helpful staff Good bar with international sport

Renovations were going on which were quite noisy. The WiFi wasn't great.

The room was comfortable and the staff helpful.

Stayed in August 2023

The staff. Many of the staff would just sit around using the WiFi and looking so bored like there was nothing to do. The WiFi was terrible kept cutting on and off, so it’s not reliable if you need it for work or download. Charging 100 D for a liter of water is ridiculous, when juice is free at breakfast. Also I wouldn’t get the custom breakfast, just keep it simple cause they have the cook taking orders, cooking, setting up the breakfast table, and serving the food from 7-10. The food is subpar at the resort so don’t expect a restaurant quality meal. The meals are more like home cooked food and the dinning area smells like cooking oil.

I like the hut style resort. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The peacock will keep you company if you are quiet. The pathways inside the property make a nice walking trail.

The pools

Fantastic

Stayed in June 2023

the room was not as cleaned as expected. very bad internet connection.

The location

Stayed in June 2023

Well, I think the rooms could do well with a few more items such as - a small fridge, mugs, cutlery, electric kettle, cups in the bathroom, and maybe even an insecticide. Having these items in the room would have taken the experience to a whole new level.

So, because of the very good experience that I had had at the resort, I decided to extend my stay by another night and it was absolutely worth it. I really love the hut-like buildings 🛖, the paintings by the bed, and the blue pool 🏊‍♂️… The breakfast wasn’t great but there were a few options to get you going for the day. The mini-zoo is one of my favourite things here and the peacock 🦚 is one I cannot stop watching. I love how it’s a welcoming place for travelers so we could connect, bond and share the experience together. I hope to stay in this resort the next time I’m in the Gambia 🇬🇲

Well, the room I stayed in was not mopped by the time I entered and there was a bit of mold in the room which later triggered an allergic reaction. But, it wasn’t too serious and they promised to take care of it when I complained.

I had a great time at the Bamboo Village Resort. The staff (especially the kitchen staff) were very nice and friendly and the resort is such a lovely place to stay. I particularly enjoyed hearing the palm leaves blow again each other, the sound of birds, and more. I love watching the peacocks playing and the other animals playing around. I’m not so much of a swimmer but it was lovely to see the blue pool against the brown aesthetic of the resort. I’ll definitely come again.

I felt pity for the poor Pelican who was all day at the dried water pond. Mattress was hanging to the side,

200 m from the beach.
