This is the second time I've been here and I like Bungalow Beach for all its faults. It's in a great location - right on the beach at Kotu Beach and the grounds are immaculately kept. Accommodation is in 4 two storey blocks (don't be put off by 'blocks' - they're not as regimented as they sound), and consist of... More

Just returned from ten days here and my first trip to The Gambia. Found my single room to be very basic and in need of some major refurb. Having said that it was clean and bug free . Breakfast was already in my fridge with fresh bread every day, waited two days for more toilet rolls and they ran out... More

Hotel is pretty old and therefore looks a little tired. But it's very clean and they have all the basic things. Location is great, it is on the beach: you can walk from the hotel gate right into the ocean. We didn't do that a lot, because they said that currents are strong. You can make breakfast and meals in... More

I've stayed here on and off since 1998. Great grounds. I love the fact that we can cook our own meals in the apartment. Very clean. old fashioned late 1950s decor. I agree you should bring your own teabags...Dont like the way the beds are made ...really annoying peculiar blanket and sheet folds. Bathroom very clean. The odd harmless tiny... More

We stayed 14 nights in Bungalow Beach. We had been a bit worried about the small number of reviews of BB (as it is known) however on arrival we suspect that this is more because the majority of guests appear to be from outside English speaking countries - mainly Scandinavian. This was a wonderful relaxing holiday as we had wanted.... More

A hotel with an absolutely beautiful location. We had a so called superior apartment overlooking the palm fringed beach and it was all we could desire. Not luxurious mind you but more than adequate. The view of the beach was wonderful and the sound of the surf a constant reminder that we were not at home! We went on a... More

Bungalow beach hotel was a very pleasant hotel to stay in. The apartments were really nice, basic but clean and cosy. All the staff at the restaurant and bar were really friendly, specially to our 5year old daughter. The food was very good as well. If you love laying at the pool and relax, I would recommend the Kombo Beach... More
