We have been to the Kombo Beach 14 times and every time we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff wonderful and friendly. Room very adequate and is always cleaned daily, fresh towels every day. Many choices at breakfast. We have made many good and loyal frineds over the years and are in contact with them during the year. Our driver... More

We have stayed at the Kombo Beach hotel 8 times now, yes it is basic but what do you expect in a 3rd world country. The rooms are clean and bedding was changed every other day, no complaints. The people are so friendly, over the years we have made lots of good friends in the Gambia. We would recommend eating... More

Hotel basic, rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast is ok (as long as you like eggs) hotel has entertainment on an evening also some market sellers bring their items to a small African market held in hotel once a week. We were not aware that it was end of season when we booked so unfortunately a lot of restaurants near... More

All staff friendly. Acceptable rooms - clean but a little faded. Breakfast well presented - eggs very well cooked on individual basis. A little "cas up front" attitude. Obviously they have been stung in past. Bar tabs OK though. Internet a bit flaky.

Yes, the rooms could do with a lick of paint but seriously, how many people go to The Gambia to spend the whole time hidden away in a hotel room? The grounds are beautiful, the pool and beach are lovely and the entertainment is first class! My boyfriend and I enjoyed a traditional African cookery class, watched amazing dance performances,...

Just had 2 weeks at Kombo Beach. This was our first time to The Gambia and also our last. The hotel was ok, nothing really good or bad. The sheets weren't changed for the first 10 days and then changed every day for the last few days!! We weren't told it was the end of their season either. Our flight... More

I have just returned from a week at Kombo beach and really enjoyed the holiday. The weather was really hot and perfect for a break from rainy England. We travelled with Thomas Cook and were completely unimpressed. I know these are cheaper flights but we were really uncomfortable the leg room is ridiculous and the aircraft just isnt suitable for...

We stayed at the Kombo for one week and really wish we'd gone for longer! On arrival we were greeted and given our room keys straight away - no faffing round with paper work. We stayed in block C which was very quiet so ideal if you like your room to be away from the noise of the night entertainment.... More
