The hotel has many good facilities, but guests are not informed. Consequently, I had to go out and obtain most of the things or facilities that were easily available and accessible to guests. Additionally, there should be a clear explanation of the room facilities on the booking page for guests' convenience. The cleaners are doing a great job. They take good care of the room, and the gate security was very vigilant. The receptionists are also friendly.

They serve the same breakfast everyday. There was no television in my room in time or relaxation in my room. They were asking for 200 dalasi a day to hire a fridge. This is something that should be provided for guests to keep our drinks cold especially in the heat. I do not think I will book that hotel again.

Great, if you are planning a budget holiday.

It is a good standard for a 2* hotel. Good customer service. Breakfast could have been more varied, but overall food is acceptable here. Badala Park is surrounded by lush vegetation and is nice and quiet. If you are looking for somewhere quiet, clean, away from the main tourist hub but in easy reach of it, and on a budget, this is the place for you. However, do not expect all the benefits of a 3 or 4 Star hotel. I have been coming to The Gambia for work and holidays for 24 years and this is acceptable standard for me with not much to complain about.

A great location, 5 minute walk from the beach. Breakfast same most days but enough choice so very good. Most of the staff very pleasant and hardworking, especially Lamin in the restaurant and the pool guy, name might have been Paul?? Room was spacious and recently painted, adequate for the job. Looks like the management are doing a overhaul, which would be beneficial. Overall a good experience, I would recommend.

Not a bad place to stay. My standard room consisted of two single beds pushes together, a fan and a toilet ans shower. No shower gel so get your own. Got a balcony where i did my workouts in the morning. WiFi hardly works in the E block i was staying and i had to come to the bar by the pool to use it. Somedays it was completely down. However it is strategically located. The Bertil Harding highway is up the road and you can be by kairaba avenue traffic lights in minutes abd senegambia strip in the opposite direction in minutes as well. Ill recommend staying here. Just don't bank on the wifi!

Ok for pricing

Generally mediocre for a lovely site. Most staff were friendly apart from a couple of rude ones. Ok if your looking for cheap accommodation and monkeys running across your roof in the morning waking you up.
