The staff were so lovely and kind and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were average but mostly clean and neat. The food was amazing and buying the breakfasts all in was the best decision we made. All in all this is a lovely little hotel which felt very safe and was comfortable, relaxed and friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a very scary experience with the staff. Our room had no deadbolt then we had someone knock and try to get it. Then someone from the front desk call up and ask if I was alone and if the door was locked. Mind you I’m a younger female. I tried to talk to the staff about it via email but it’s been 10 days with no response. Super disappointed in their customer service and lack of safety. DO NOT stay here!

First trip to Senegal

Generally the hotel was clean and well located. The rooms are a decent size and the pool is nice. The absence of a gym was a surprise and means I won’t return. The staff were also quite abrupt, almost rude. Breakfast is expensive.
