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.

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.

Otrevlig personal

Rent och fint men fruktansvärt otrevlig personal och chef. Personalen hävdade att min betalning i samband med bokningen inte gällde utan alla gäster måste betala på plats. Chefen informerade att personalen inte visste ”systemet” och att han inte hade för avsikt att informera sin personal om det. Chefen hänvisade attt det var Hotels.com som har ”sitt system”. Min vän som bodde i annat rum hade inte fått handduk och filt. När hon sade till om det vägrade personalen först att ge henne det innan hon hade betalat en natt för rummet. Efter diskussion fick hon handduk och filt (som alltid ligger på sängen när man kommer).Städ-och poolpersonal var mycket vänliga och bjöd på leenden.

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!

This is a great place to come if you are package tourist on a budget as the rooms were very basic. I got to room & there was no mosquito net or fan so I had to back to reception to request a fan in which a maintenance person then needed to come to my room to install it. The beer prices were good & the food was okay. Very close to the beach.

I have stayed at this hotel several times only because of the staff. The rooms are very basic and in need of an upgrade and coat of paint. Facilities are non existent there is one bar open eleven hours and one restaurant open for breakfast only. Lunch and dinner is available but in the form of bar snack only. That said you have to remember that you are after all in the missle of the jungle with wild monkey running across the tin roof of your room being your early morning alarm call
