Great location near the Senegambia strip. Exceptional staff that took care of my every need. Short walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. Nice well kept property with a beautiful pool. Definitely worth the cost.

Overall the property was of high standard. The staff were very friendly and accommodating which is a massive bonus. The apartment was very clean. My only criticism was that some of the towels were not clean. I didn’t make a fuss as there were clean useable ones available. Apart from that I would be happy to come back and recommend the apartment to others…

The property was really nice, I especially appreciated the balcony, bathroom and kitchen facilities. That said, what made our stay exceptional was the staff at Forestview. From the front desk, to the security, they were friendly, knowledgable and accomodating. The housekeeping staff were extremley hardworking and very, very thoughtful. They made our stay at Forestside unforgettable and I will definitely be making them my first choice of accomodation when visiting the Gambia in future. Best staff I've ever encountered.

This is my third time staying here this year. I really should buy one of the units. It's perfectly located at the end of the "strip" near the best bar, GTS, and restaurants, the Kololi Mini-Market and my friend Ms. Jallow is great, and the beach is just a short walk down the hill. A great beach.

Great place to live. I've been impressed by how well-managed and hospitable the staff are. It felt like a home away from home. I truly enjoyed my stay there and would definitely recommend it to families and individuals looking for a secure and convenient place to stay with access to nearby amenities like restaurants and bars. It's a great option for those who prefer a private self-catering accommodation. Highly recommend it!

The property is in a great location and easy to get to many dining options even without a car. The apt was well suited although the bed was not comfortable and response time for requests take quite a long time as it isn’t a hotel. The apt worked well for our extended stay. We enjoyed the pool, however it was closed a few times due to it being green, think they need more assistance with pool maintenance. We lost power many times but the generators kicked in quickly. We lost water a few times and a couple days there was no hot water or good pressure. We are used to that and made it work. We will stay again as overall the apt was well worth the value!

Avoid….terrible customer service from Management

Nice apartment although a little ragged around the edges. Fairly clean but some bugs (it’s The Gambia!) No water one morning and very low water pressure on another meant two mornings couldn’t have a shower which was met with no real response from the staff. People around pool can be noisy at night which security don’t deal with. Large charge for a 4 hour late checkout for a returning customer who stayed nearly 2 weeks shows their customer service know how! Manager made it very clear he really doesn’t care! Quoting rules and terms at you before just walking away without resolution All in all, it’s an ok place but the lack of CS means unlikely to return.
