The rooms were clean and spacious. Great to relax in after travelling around and staying in sparse places with no facilities.

We arrived at the hotel late at night, no one was waiting for us, and the rooms we had booked were occupied by strangers. We will never return here again.

“Once in a lifetime you have to experience this!”
Are you looking for a return to your roots or a place where you can find yourself, where joy, friendliness and love of life are still taken seriously, where you can let your soul unwind, switch off and get a massage every day? Come here! If you are looking for ass kissers who will only serve you because they want their money? then you have come to the wrong place. Bosofet Beach and Creek Lodge, which is located on the beach of Sanyang, Gambia - far away from other people and settlements - is a small business that has only been in existence for 3 years. They are still working on it, but it’s here done like in Germany, where we needed 15 years for an airport. That’s makes it here very natural and sympathetic. I was there at a especially peaceful time during Ramadan month and I enjoyed the quietness and peace. From the very first day I sat around the fire at night with the young operators, having ifta, eating and drinking Ataya together with them. I have never felt so comfortable and accepted in the world. The true open friendship, honesty and kindness is hardly to find. Or like an other customer said: „From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family. The people here don't feel like staff; they are friends, sharing their warmth, kindness, and incredible hospitality in a way that makes you feel like you truly belong. They do everything for you-not out of duty, but out of pure generosity.“ And he is true! For me this is more worth, than anything else. I don’t need a golden toilet or someone powdering my sweet behind. I highly recommend this place to anybody who wants a time out for himself and enjoy pure humanity.

“Special place with special people”
Wonderful place with wonderful people for those who love being surrounded by nature and living a simple life in peaceful environment. I stayed 14 nights and I wished to stay much longer, as I felt really at home there. My stay in Bosofet gave me a great relief after living in the most touristic and overcrowded areas and it changed totally my impression from the whole monthly travel in Gambia for much better. I can say that thanks to Bosofet and the people there I have very good memories from visiting the country. It was especially peaceful time during Ramadan month and I enjoyed the quietness and my privacy, which was my priority. Despite the place is situated at a remote beach, it's very easy to travel from there to many places by public transportation or taxi. Although, I would recommend it especially to those who loves walking, too. I'm really appreciate the time I spent there and I'm looking forward to be back one day :)

“Unforgettable Stay at Bosofet Creek Lodge – More Than Just a Lodge, A Home”
I originally planned to stay at Bosofet Creek Lodge for two nights, but it turned into six—and honestly, I could have stayed even longer. This place isn’t just a lodge; it’s an experience, a feeling, a home away from home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family. The people here don’t feel like staff; they are friends, sharing their warmth, kindness, and incredible hospitality in a way that makes you feel like you truly belong. They do everything for you—not out of duty, but out of pure generosity. I had the privilege of visiting during Ramadan, and every evening, I was invited to break fast with them. Sharing food, stories, and laughter around the campfire each night was something truly special. One of my favorite moments was cooking together, learning new flavors, and experiencing firsthand the joy and community spirit that defines this place. And then there’s the beach—endless, untouched, and completely yours. No beach boys, no hassle, just pure peace. Whether you want to take a quiet walk, relax in the sun, or listen to the waves in complete serenity, this is the perfect place to do it. If you’re looking for the most relaxed, heartwarming, and genuine experience, this is it. Bosofet Creek Lodge isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to connect, unwind, and create memories that will stay with you forever. I can't wait to come back!

There are no words to describe the hospitality of the staff in Bosofet. All our requests were met. We have booked a bungalow at the beach, 50 meters to the ocean. Bungalow is quite spacious and comfortable but you don't spend much time there :) you have all the beach to yourself and if you wish, you can take a boat-trip on the river nearby or go for a walk to the village. We have also had plenty of different trips, our guide was Max, who shared so many interesting local stories and took us to wonderful places. There is so much positive energy in Bosofet, that you could literally feed on that :) but you have also plenty of wonderful food, omelettes and toasts and vegetables for breakfast and jollof rice, fish, oysters, chicken or anything you wish for dinner. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants relax and peace, being close to the nature and simply enjoy The Gambia experience and hospitality of this kind people.
