    Improvement could be made by improving the broken fan in the upper room, cleaning out the dusty musquito net and offer a little more oppurtunities of having breakfast earlier than 9 AM.

    Nice and comfortable rooms, lovely pool and very friendly, helpfull staff

    Everything was fine, but the breakfast is very simple/basic and expensive. For €5 per person we got coffee/tea, a sandwich, 1 piece of cheese spread and a fried egg. No fruit or other toppings.

    The host (and helpers) are very nice. The room was more than enough for us. Glad with the waterkettle and other kitchen supplies. We used the breakfast one dag, afterwards we did our own shopping, which went well with the refrigerator and space we had in the room.we used the breakfast 1 day, ).

    I was not always happy with the staff, especially the male staff. They were not professional enough. For instance, there was no toilet papers in the common toilet sat several times. Irritating.

    I likedthe rooms on the upper floor, they were excellent value. Another thing I really liked was the at atmospehere at the guesthouse; really easy to meet people-both travellers and locals. Some really good restaurants nearby.

    I would have like a night lamp near the bed.

    This guesthouse is very cozy and well decorated with both Swedish and African furniture. The pool is amaaazing. The staff super kind and caring. Both at day and nighttime. Also the kitchen is very well equiped and has a blender. Soap is readily available in the bathrooms and kitchen and at the poolshower. :)

    Room coulda been a bit cleaner/updated. You can’t walk out of the property without being hounded and followed by touts and ‘tour guides’ wanting to show you around. Although everyone is super friendly, they won’t let you just enjoy the time alone. You basically gain an unsolicited Friend/guide that’ll eventually ask you for money for spending the day with you lol

    Spacious room, decent WiFi. Hot water and fridge in room. Kettle and coffee provided. Friendly staff and nice pool to have a swim if you please. Couple minutes walk to the beach. Decent place in Bakau. Has a really delicious Indian restaurant a minute walk away.

    Close to the beach, but rooms need to look better

    The room had a bit of mold in it and the overall look of the walls in the room was not good. The refrigerator in the room stunk, so I didn't even want to use it. The shared bathroom door didn't close properly and the rule for the use 2-3cups of water to flush the pee confused whoever was sharing the toilet and probably thought the flush didn't work and it was quite gross to see the leftover poop in the toilet. Also the power seemed to go off in the area quite often at night.

    It was nice that there was a mosquito net for sleeping and a fan in the room. The towels were nice too. It was a short walk to the beach which was great. The wifi connection was great and made it easy to watch videos. Plus it was a 10 minute walk to the craft market, which is where one can catch the shared mini van that costs just 10 dalasi to go to Westfield.

    The furnitures were a little bit too old. The windows were opened so the mosquitos could pass inside. The bathroom was a bit dirty.

    Too small a mosquito net did not provide sufficient protection against mosquitoes.

    The stay was very pleasant, especially the pool, which was cleaned every day.

    Did arrange for an airport pick up but no one was there. Plane was late, maybe they had left although it was never mentioned. No biggie as an airport taxi cost the same. Manager was not always there when you wanted to find some information, no worries as this is Africa after all.

    Very helpful staff. Close to the beach and bars/restaurants. Good information given regarding onward travel.
