Pet-friendly holiday rentals in The Gambia

Great place, would book again.

I came to relax and that's just what I did. The balcony had a breathtaking view of the ocean. I was however awakened by the birds each morning a different one almost each time. The beach is within eyesight but further than it appears. In my opinion it's best to drive there especially if it's hot. The security guy was awesome! I think he has lifetime friends in us now. All utensils and supplies are there. My only con would be the water. The electrity had a few issues as well but they worked hard to figure it out. Occasionally the water would be out as well and once we let Joy or security know, it was taken care of. I enjoyed my stay and I appreciate Joy and her crew for their hospitality.

There are plenty of tourist apartments on the Airbnb that are similar if not nicer than the beach hotels. But when I travel, I like to live in neighborhoods, among the citizens who live in that country. That’s why I stay in Alieu’s home. It’s literally his home, with his room locked off, but three more bedrooms are available for guests. It’s not on a busy paved street and there will be an occasional goat walking by and definitely a dog sleeping on the street in the dust. But it’s a lovely home, with solar power back up, AC in every room, a gas stove and a good refrigerator and a spacious living room and everything I need including Wi-Fi. Things go wrong as usual in life, and Alieu has always responded immediately. And his guard Wally is always on premises to take care of smaller issues. All in all it feels like we’re living in a Gambian home in a Gambian neighborhood. And walking to the corner shop to buy some water or some eggs were the only tourists around.

Stefan is a very nice landlord. Responded quickly to deficiencies and was always reachable. For us, the accommodation was optimal and just right from the location. I'd love to come back.

I had a wonderful stay at Alagi's place, Pa his brother and family were extremely friendly and welcoming. Attentive host I always felt welcomed and at home. Anything that I requested was taken care of. I would recommend Alagi's place and I would stay here again. Thank you for making me and my husband feel so welcomed. Special shout out to Pa's wife for teaching me how to tie a wrapper; thank you Binta. Cynthia S

Maimuna’s apartment in Barakah Estate is exactly as shown on the pictures. However, the pictures do not show how large the place really is. We loved the space and the veranda. Omar the security guy was very kind and helpful. He even went to the corner store to buy me sugar for my coffee. Very kind young man indeed. Lastly, the maid was kind and friendly. She was helpful as she offered to do my laundry and kept the apartment very clean. The only caveat would be that there is construction going on daily in the neighborhood so it can be noisy during the day time hours. All in all, this was a good stay and I would recommend Maimuna’s apartment for anyone coming to the Gambia for short term or long term stays. She made us feel at home.

Mr Momodou is a great host. Picked my family and I from the airport and treated us like family right from the beginning. He took us to interesting places at his own cost. We had an amazing time at a friendly and welcoming neighbourhood. We felt right at home during our stay. I highly recommend Mr Momodou and his apartments. He is a super host.

A really nice, humble place to stay. With the ocean right next to it, one can really enjoy and relax. There was no communication problem at all, we could reach out anytime and got help very fast. We can really recommend this place.
