I stayed at the Bijilo in February. This was my third trip to The Gambia. Previously staying at a smaller hotel. As a solo traveller, I was worried that a larger hotel such as the Bijilo might have been a bit to impersonal for my liking. However, this did not prove to be the case, other guests and especially the... More

Personally I like smaller hotels, where you get to know the staff and they know you. Instead of those unpersonal big hotels with hundreds of rooms. If you like these kind of hotels, this is the one in Gambia. Staff is very friendly, although some of them try to convince you to go to their houses to sponsor, every day... More

We stayed in this hotel for one week over the New Year. The staff & local people were very friendly. The managers son was staying at the hotel at the same time, a very polite guy who took the time to discuss the local area & to make sure our stay was a happy one. In the evenings we traveled... More

The domestic cleaners were polite and cheerful. Security were always around morning and night, which gave me a great sense of security.... More

Have been a number of times to this hotel, this last visit being the 6th. Have always loved the hotel and the staff. On our last visit the hotel has deterioted greatly. The biggest problem being the pool and pool area, some days the pool was green and noticed alot of leaks, which has now affected the tiles and made... More

A very basic, simple hotel, but best on the strip for the beach, where you can at least jump in the waves. The better hotels nearer the town have steep drops into the sea. The staff are not well trained, but do try hard. However, they do continually try to get you to sponsor them or the local school. The... More
