  • Tonio77Germany · 6 Feb 2026 9Exceptional

    Liked : Everything perfect. Clean rooms, good breakfast and very nice atmosphere. Danny, Linda, Modou and the whole staff do everything to help you to enjoy your stay at the best. Modou can take you to visit the main attractions of the area and he's always available. We also enjoyed a nice evening with Danny and Linda at a dancing show in a local school. We couldn't have stayed better and safer. Highly recommended

  • RitaPortugal · 7 Apr 2024 8Very good

    I strongly recommend

    Liked : The staff was amazing especially Mariama and the other girl who cook breakfast. It has a fan. Super clean. Room was big and the bathroom too. 15 walking from the beach. Managed by a local family and we did a tour to the market to buy groceries.

    Disliked : I wished it'd be closer to the beach because we didn't feel safe to go to the beach area after dinner but that was the only thing

    Accommodation

    Liked : Friendliness and professionalism. Always at hand to help.
    Guests are given options on what they want for breakfast. The staff respects your privacy, and they help in every way possible .
    It's a family place away from home.
