Things people ask us

We're in Kololi, on the Atlantic coast, a short walk from the beach and close to the Senegambia strip for restaurants and nightlife.

Banjul International Airport is roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive depending on traffic. We can arrange to meet you there — just send us your flight number once you've booked.

Yes. Tell us your flight number and arrival time when you book, or any time before you travel, and a driver will be waiting for you.

Plenty is walkable. For anything further, we'll arrange a trusted driver rather than leaving you to negotiate on the roadside — it's easier and usually cheaper.

It depends on your nationality, and the rules do change. Please check your own government's travel advice and, if you need it, the nearest Gambian embassy or high commission before you book flights. If you tell us where you're travelling from, we're happy to help you find the right information.

That depends on your nationality, where you're travelling from and your own medical history, so we won't guess. Please speak to a travel health professional or a travel clinic well before you fly — some things need to be started weeks in advance.

Yes. We'd recommend it for any international trip, and we'd rather say so plainly than have you find out the hard way.

Light clothes, sandals, a hat and high-factor sun cream. Something with sleeves for the evenings and for visiting villages or markets. Plug sockets are the UK-style three-pin type, so bring an adapter if you need one.

Check-in is from 2pm and check-out is by 11am. If your flight lands at an awkward hour, tell us and we'll do what we can — we can usually store bags either side.

Yes, throughout the guest house. It's good enough for messaging, email and browsing. If you need it for work, tell us in advance and we'll put you somewhere with the strongest signal.

Yes, in every room, along with ceiling fans and mosquito nets.

Grid power in The Gambia can be intermittent. We have backup so that fans, lights and the kitchen keep running.

Yes, and please tell us when you book rather than on arrival. Our kitchen cooks from scratch each day, so with notice we can work around most things — but we need to know before we shop.

Families are welcome. Get in touch before booking and we'll talk through rooms, beds and what works best for the ages you're bringing.

Use the booking form on this site, or message us directly if you'd rather talk it through. Either way you'll get a confirmation with a reference number.

We'll confirm your reservation first and set out exactly what's due and when, before you're asked for anything. Nothing is taken automatically at the moment you book.

All prices on this site are in US dollars. You can settle in dalasi at the property, and we'll tell you the rate we're using before you pay.

Yes — see our cancellation policy for the details, and get in touch as early as you can. If your plans shift, we'd rather move your dates than lose you.
