overrated, unfriendly, overpriced and inhospitable
There was no hot water, the light was intermittent, the television didn't work throughout my stay and the front desk staff were all quite inept, clueless and borderline rude. There were ants everywhere in the room.

The facility, people, food, views were excellent. We would definitely return. Only drawback was that it is isolated; no places to walk to/around. But the rest of the stay made up for that.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The linen was not changed in a timely manner. That raises questions about hygiene. The toilet was not cleaned with sanitizer or bleach solution leaving the toilet with a discernible smell of urine. We had to purchase sanitizer from outside to clean the toilet. There were large ants crawling in and out of the room through gaps in the doorways. Again, we had to purchase insecticide from outside to take care of the pesky ants. Mr Drammeh (the tall one) and the restaurant crew did the best under the poor management that they find themselves in. The level of management at this hotel is woefully inadequate. We wouldn't stay at this hotel again for even $5.

No-frills lodge
Budget lodge located at the western end of the Senegambia, near Turntable. Property is a bit worn, but the hosts are lovely and very friendly. The room would be better if air conditioning was included, but it comes at an extra charge. Also, no towels or soap are provided in the room. Mosquito net was large and covered the entire bed. Lovely wooden doors and furniture. Breakfast was OK, but it was a bit messy with drippings all over the serving trays - they should have someone there to clean as people are serving themselves. Wifi worked well. Overall, it was a reasonable stay.

Caution
Arrived early and was told by receptionist room hadn't been allocated. She gave us the intro to the hotel, told us about meals, breakfast and facilities etc. We were told to go to the beach and our room would be ready in a couple of hours. Having not moved from the beach, we returned to find we had been relocated to the next door hitel. No apology, discussion or any communication, just done and not even told about it! The reservation lead had done it and left for the day. The receptionist then denied telling us anything and said we would be relocated(one person didnt want to help and went on break!) She then lied about coming to find us when other members of staff at the beach vouched that we were there and she hadnt come looking. The constant lying , changing stories, poor service and comminication was an awful experience (especially when this was known beforehand). Asked to speak to the manager, nobody around. receptionist was rude, confrontational and mismanaging the situation. Totally understand at being overbooked, if we were told at the start that they were overbooked and we may be moved, no problem. The fact there was no communication(despite knowing this situation had arisen) is appalling service and client management. Stayed at the sea view apartments next door, cannot have had a better stay. The staff were amazing, friendly and open, spoke honestly and empathise. Bigger rooms, nicer apartments, friendly people.Will return tothe sea view apartments for sure!!

3rd time but not the last
Laid back and easy going, just fall into the Gambian groove and let things happen in their own time. Basic rooms need a bit of TLC but can’t fault anything else

Lovely hotel, friendly staff. The hotel was clean and tidy. We loved the location as it was a peaceful holiday that we were after. The hotel grounds are nice and it is close to the beach. Would definitely go there again. Thank-you Lemon Creek.

Good for vacation, not business travel
The staff was friendly and helpful as much as they could, but inconsistent with their policies and not very accommodating with some business-related requests the team had. We needed documents printed, quick meals, stable internet, etc. However, these were not always available. The rooms are a little tired, the shower didn't have hot water in the mornings and the towels and sheets didn't always smell very great. The location was good and near the airport. I would recommend people stay there for vacation, not necessarily business-related travel.

The Gambia is known for its bad road but the road leading to the hotel is one of the worst but the hotel ground is beautiful. For an area full of fresh fruit to offer the hotel only had bananas. breakfast wasn't restocked but they due offer made to order omelets if there are any eggs left. The pool area looks great but the pool itself was more like a Stillwater it seems to lack a cleaning pump and filter. they cleaned it but it always had a lot of debris and bugs. My hotel bathroom was infested with ants. No compensation was offered when I brought the issues to their attention. The best thing about the hotel is its friendly staff.

Wish I could remember the name of the front desk man who personally drove us to the bus station before dawn. He went above and beyond to help us and did not request payment. Enjoyed talking to all of the staff at the hotel. Mediocre room with cold shower. Too many locals on the beach approach trying to sell something where it seemed to me this was better regulated at a different hotel where I also stayed. Beautiful views of the ocean. Overpriced for the type of hotel and location.
