Ok!

It’s a simple room and the food (dinner) is tasty, close to the river. It’s ok for one night.

Very clean place and great staff

The place is very tidy and everything is spotless. Food on site is really good and generous in its portions (to say the least). The staff is always ready to satisfy any request (they even went out and bought me a beer at no extra cost since in Ramadam they don't sell alcohol). Nice garden too!

Outstanding, truly the best place that represents the REAL Gambia

The happy corner Lodge probably was the best accommodation I had during my solo travel in Gambia. The food was outstanding, especially the chicken :) But the best part was the hospitality and the tour guide of Mbaye. He truly is the most chilled out Gambian guy ever and the tour he fixed to the stone circles and the river was outstanding. We saw hippos, chimps and crocodiles all in 1 day. I truly think that this side of Gambia, so the area surrounding Janjanbureh, is the real Gambia which everyone should see once in their lifetime.

Friendly little lodge with a great garden and wunderful staff

What a nice and peaceful little lodge...including one of the nicest gardens I´ve seen in The Gambia. Very friendly owner and staff, free WIFI, clean and functional rooms including AC and a small veranda in the garden. Very quite a bid away from the Gambia River. Breakfast included and other meals provided at very resonable costs. Highly recommended. Georgetown (or Janjanbureh) is a very friendly small town (more a village) where local life can be enjoyed.

Excellent stay in Janjangbureh! Wonderful and accommodating hotel staff who did their best to make our stay as enjoyable as possible including a complimentary walking tour of the town as well as a menu created based on our preferred foods. When our driver fell through to take us back downriver, the owner stepped in.

Actually a nice place but some buts

The location is very central, everything is within walking distance from the ferry pier to the bus stop. Shops and restaurants can also be found in the immediate vicinity. The room was well equipped and clean, the breakfast was very good and generous, and they even prepared one for us to take away at 6 a.m. on the day of our departure

When I arrived at the Happy Corner Lodge, Ousman greeted me very warmly, so I immediately felt at home. After a few days, I even extended my pre-booked stay. The location is very central. The public buses stop and start at the police station. From there, it is only a few meters to the lodge. You are in the middle of town, close to the river and the ferry. There is a restaurant located almost opposite. You quickly get in touch with local guides who offer various beautiful tours in the area, including boat trips to see the chimpanzees and hippos. The rooms are simple but adequately equipped, there is now WiFi in the rooms and public areas and the power supply seems to be more reliable here than in the coastal region. The breakfast is good and very filling. There is plenty of coffee, even later on. The service from the staff is exceptional. You quickly feel a friendly bond, and they will even wash a piece of laundry for free or invite you to lunch or dinner. By the way, I felt very safe and welcome throughout the place at all times. You are greeted in a friendly manner everywhere and you get in touch to people without feeling like it is just business. I can really recommend the stay!
