Neglected/tired/destroyed/dirty rooms & property

Twenty years go this hotel must have looked nice, it is now dirty, neglected with broken doors, filthy blankets and pillowcases (see photos) and staff that could not care less about your comfort. In 2 stays (8 nights total) I changed rooms 4 times! All rooms had no WATER PRESSURE, in the last room I had no water at all for 2 days, I had to take a shower by the pool (see photo of shower turned on but no water)! In one room the pillow and the blanket stunk like heavy sweat and I asked for new ones. I received a stained pillow case (see photos) and to my horror, I discovered 2 days later that the inside of the blanket had remains and marks of human feces (excrement). The balcony doors were all broken (do not lock) so be very careful. The bathroom doors are broken (see photos). They pressure you to pay for A/C which will not work or they will not give you the remote control. Electrical outlets hang out the walls, the walls are marked with blood from dead mosquitoes, destroyed furniture in the rooms (see photos).. The staff do not want you to complain and they tell nothing to the owner when I spoke to him about the filthy blanket, he knew nothing about it (he apologized).. an employee told me that the staff change the bad comments, we will see what they will do to mine.. you get what you pay for, cheap prices for filthy rooms.. worst hotel that I have stayed in the last 10 years of my travels.. imagine my horror when I say the blanket full of marks with human feces..

Great experience for the price. I could hear the ocean from mybed as I slept. All the staff were kind. The power and water would go out, but its Gambia, the people who left such negative reviews should relax. For the price your paying, its a great experience, and I would stay again. Only point to make is there is no mosquito net and many mosquitos, so make sure youre on malaria prophylaxis before hand. Felt the need to review which I never do, because the other reviews here didnt reflect the great experience I had.

Would not repeat

Golden Beach in Gambia is one of the best positioned facilities, but it is far from beeing a hotel. The hotel looks like ut was abandoned and than they just got back to open it and collect some money. We had to ask? for fresh towels, we had to ask? for a sheet. Location of the hotel is splendid and the garden is amazing. I saw so many oportunities for them, but even breakfaat was a disaster. First day we got some slices of tomatoe and paprika, few more or less dry pieces of bred and coffee. In next days they added little cheese and an egg per person, for which we heard that one of the waiter paid for, because the owner wouldnt want to buy them for guests. The good side of the hotel is a small pool and shady garden.

Property is in a good location with a pleasant swimming pool and direct access to the beach. Hotel is set in pleasant, green grounds Staff on arrival were friendly and helpful However, 1. Whole property is in dire need of a revamp as our room was very run down. 2. When we arrived our room was not clean - there were lots of flies in the bathroom - we asked the room to be cleaned which was done straight away but the room remained relatively dirty. Another guest confirmed that he had the same issue. 3. Upon arrival there was only one (dirty) towel, no bedsheet and only one pillowcase. We were provided with two towels, a pillowcase and a bedsheet on request which were clean but need to be renewed. 4. Niether the door to the room nor the bathroom closed properly. 5. No measures taken in the room to counter mosquitos, (e.g. nets, window nets) meaning that though the hotel is in a pleasant setting, there are LOTS of mosquitos in the rooms at night. 6. The room was very damp and the a/c didn't work properly, resulting in an unpleasant night's sleep. 7. Breakfast described as 'buffet' online though in reality it was a very basic set up of omelette, bread and spreads, and tea/coffee/juice If the management is reading this please DO try to act on these things as this could be a good hotel. Now it's absolutely not.

Tæt på Senegambia

Til prisen er det et godt hotel. Internettet er ikke på alle værelser som der står oplyst på deres hjemmeside, og det som der er i receptionen er utrolig dårligt. Man kan nærmest ikke åbne en hjemmeside. Strømmen går hverdag fra middag og kommer tilbage ca. ved en aftensmads tid. Men igen det er Afrika og når man har vænnet sig til nogle få ting,så kan man sagtens nyde det. Det er nogle fine og store værelser. Igen meget godt til prisen.
