“Magical”

Wonderful place, comfortable room, and kind hosts. Watching the sunrise in the garden is magical. Breakfast is delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

“Loved it - Charming owner, unique geography & architecture”

It is a short walk from the ferry and might be a bit hard to find on your first time on your own. But no problem, get a porter or directions when you get off the ferry. It is a lovely walk as the island is so small and you walk through its beauty including past the Museum of Slaves. But the best part is when you get to the hotel. The hotel is built along the outside of old colonial walls - really interesting. And a quick path from the hotel to walk along the ocean and amongst basalt columns. If we hadn't stayed at this hotel, we would have definitely missed this unique geographical feature. We went to the island for the same reason everyone else goes, the Museum of Slaves and other architecture, but this was an unexpected bonus. We enjoyed it the way we did Iceland's basalt and Ireland's Giant's Causeway. The history of the island overshadows mentioning this in any literature that I am aware of. The owner is a very kind and hospitable host. She is a most impressive woman who is continually building her gardens and property. The gardener is a lovely man too and also one of the island's painters. This place with its lovely people and uniqueness beats any fancy 5 star corporate hotel.

Wow! Just when I thought the hotels in Senegal couldn't get any more scenic, along comes NAFI'O.  The location of this hotel, right above the sea, is staggeringly beautiful. It's a short walk down to the water (very rocky, so not for swimming, but you can sit comfortably in the splash zone for some refreshment).  The hotel is situated in front of the massive old stone walls of the island, and is quiet and serene. The gardens on the property are so, so pretty. Plants and trees and birds and butterflies abound! My room was small bit very tidy, and the bed was comfortable.  The proprietor and her family were friendly and helpful with anything I needed.  The island is really small, so all restaurants, museums, the ferry port, etc. are a quick, max 20 minute walk.  What a wonderful stay - thank you NAFI'O 😊

The location was great and the property had a nice sea and garden view. The staff was friendly and flexible. Our room was very clean.

“Friendly, rural, clean and quiet with ocean view.”

Location off the beaten track, wit a lot of plants and ocean view. Very friendly staff, good wifi and good breakfast.

“Our best place to stay in our two week travel around Senegal. The location, the green area and the hospitality from the”

It’s unique location and very warm and welcoming hosts.

Very pleasant host, comfortable room with bathroom in a quiet part of the island. All toiletries, kettle, air conditioning. No hot water, but still comfortable in warm weather. Very good breakfast with homemade juices. Better to carry a torch on the way to the accommodation in the dark.

“Warm nice people, but it was not for me.”

the scenery and the family

“Hospitality, delicious meals and a perfect location!”

I had a wonderful experience during my 2-night stay at this place. When I arrived, the host's daughter gave me a warm welcome and showed me around. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. I took the breakfast in the garden, the sweet mango and the garden tea were a real treat. I also had the pleasure of sharing a delicious lunch with the family, they sure know how to cook up some tasty dishes! The location of the house at the back of the island was perfect, as it offered a quieter atmosphere and provided a beautiful view. The garden added to the overall charm of the place. On their recommendation, I visited ' La plage des amoureux,' which was a clean and stunning beach. I spent a afternoon with the family, it was a blast and I learned so much about their culture. I can't wait for my next trip to Goree Island, knowing that I have found a fantastic place to stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable experience.

“Budget option in Goree”

Friendly host. Budget option. Close to the viewpoint with good views. I was happy with my choice.
