The eating area was nice

Location

“Simple but clean cabins in a beautiful setting, but not so many activities possible.”

Simple but clean rooms, good food, friendly staff, exceptionally good coffee ;-)!

“Disappointing”

Bike rental : old broken bikes, flat tyre, no brakes. Motorboat fishing trip : a disaster : just staying on the water at the same spot for 3 hours, only 5 minutes away from our room. No fishing lines. just 2 plastic wires with a hook. catch : nothing ! Wifi and electricity problems.

“A lovely place to relax”

A beautiful lodge in a lovely and quiet village. A very calm and relaxing stay, the room is simple but has everything you need. The possibility to have breakfast and dinner there is also very nice.

“A clean, friendly and welcoming place in an excellent location.”

Location superb. Excellent food.

“Very disappointed at Managers behaviour.”

On the previous 3 visits I've enjoyed the food and location and rebooked for a 4th stay, sadly I won't be visiting again

“Relaxing experience in a beautiful location”

Location . Food

Very nice and very authentic place directly at the river. I took one of the little houses where you open the door and can just enjoy the river shore. The room was cosy and you will feel the nature around you. Super friendly staff, excellent food and a charming atmosphere, I'd really recommend staying there if you're not up for five-star resorts.

“Lovely and local place in a tranquil environment”

My stay was simply amazing! The location was just fantastic, right on the mighty Gambia river and in the nice Bintang village. The accommodation was a cute hut on stilt nicely decorated using natural material surrounded by mangroves with a balcony where you could watch the stunning sunrise. I love the peace and tranquility of this place where you can hear the sound of nature at night. Dinner was very nice - i had a delicious fresh fish dish with rice, staff was friendly and welcoming and they also had a juice bar with all kind of fresh juices. The place would also organize excursions for you - I took a little paddle boat into the mangroves and it was such a nice little trip. Do not miss this place where you could experience local Gambian life!

Amazing location right on the water's edge. The view was so peaceful. Food was fresh and good though they ran out of fish in the evening. The Yassa is yummy! Friendly and kind waitressing staff.

“location, stunning, rooms clean and adequate, breakfast very poor”

location, stayed on best rooms on side of river, to see sunrise and wildlife in there natural environment

“A cozy and nature-close experience”

The simple bungalows are located right by the water, nestled among the mangrove trees. On our way to breakfast, we spotted beautiful birds, and the dining area couldn’t have been in a more stunning location.

Staff were super friendly and brilliant

“Relax and reconnect with nature”

Very nice place with a chill vibe in the middle of the mangroves. Excellent food and a great spot to watch birds, monkeys and even dolphins. Laundry service available. Coffee corner with excellent coffee, cakes and local juices. Very friendly staff and the setup of the rooms are lovely.

“fantastic place”

everything was spot on the manager and staff were brilliant

“We really enjoyed our time at the very special Bintang Bolong lodge especially because of the very nice staff!”

The staff (the girls) were super nice and welcoming. They were very forthcoming and tried to make our stay as comfortable and special as possible. The lodge itself is cute but could do a little maintenance. The location is amazing in the middle of nature with a stunning view over the river.
