Meget familiært, både med personlige og andre gæster.
Elendig køkken forhold personale er dybt inkompetente. Sjældent mad på stedet trods al a carte menu , nogle ingen mad / morgenmad eller flere timers ventetid. 3 km via tør vej til nærmeste spisested.
Dog er dette Afrika og det taget i betragtning så har det været et godt sted , søde personale.
A budget hotel this was our 3rd stay at this hotel, so we knew what to expect. We chose the room we wanted before we booked, but this was not acknowledged when we arrived, so we were but in a room around the pool area, noisy till midnight, and beyond, there is music playing all night, and people returning all night, talking on phones and slamming doors ! The light was not working when we arrived at 10pm but no one available to repair this, we were left with a side lamp, that was 2 pin into a 3 pin plug, that was so sensitive would take ages to get the light on. The general catering and cleaning staff are good and friendly, but the reception is hopeless, if you ask or order an early breakfast it is never ready, any problems you can never speak to the right person, we were left no towels one night , and the fight to get some was quite unbelievable ! first you usually have to wake the person up on reception as they are usually asleep ! or on there phone quite crazy, as the reception is your point of attention at any hotel.. often no electricity or water, which is quite annoying, if you have been out all day and need a shower !this is a budget hotel and if you do not mind Gambian time....and the constant noise, this is an ok hotel for the money, but you must be patient !

Bamboo garden is a little dated, but everything was clean enough, on my first night my bed squeeked terribly, but was seen to the next day, no problem. I enjoyed my stay there and would return
Vriendelijk personeel, schone kamers, goede douche, leuke straat met goede restaurants, dicht bij strand.

Very rude and poor service from reception staffs!
Had 2 nights' stay. On arrival, was informed fully booked (I had booked and fully paid in May 2019!) and transferred to their affliated hotel nearby (location not so convenient, unlike Bamboo Garden Hotel that is along street with many restaurants and a beach at the end of street). And after one night was transferred back to Bamboo Garden Hotel. After a full day tour the next day and to take all my belongings at the reception, I was told by reception staff to go back to Bamboo Garden Hotel on my own! I was transferred by car from Bamboo Garden Hotel to this Seaview Garden Hotel and I really do not know the way. I told the reception staff to contact Bamboo Garden Hotel to arrange for a car. Finally it was arranged. But the reception staffs I encountered at both hotels throughout this episode were rude and of poor service! I should say my most unpleasant experience. (Gambia is my 155th countries visited and my 28th African countries. Information is not for boasting but to show in perspective that I am not a greenhorn traveller. And I hardly write review but only very unpleasant experience and if very good service that should be commended).
Kleinschalig hotel rustig gelegen en dichtbij strand.
Dichtbij Bijilo park , kleine 2 km en strand op 3 min stappen.
Heel vriendelijk personeel zowel in het hotel zelf als het bijhorende massagesalon.
Wij hadden een zalige vakantie en gaan zeker terug !

Needs better facilities. Unreliable water supply
No aircondition in the room, too hot. Unreliable power system
Los empleados te controlan donde vas y qué haces y te mandan. Increíble.
El aire acondicionado es deficiente. El wifi va a ratos. Y la tele solo 2 canales.
Lo mejor, la gente alojada, madura e interesante y el jardín a donde dan todas las habitaciones y su entorno con la piscina y la amabilidad de los camareros y cocineros.

Trevligt hotell . Fräscht inne och ute och fin varierad frukost .
Mooi zwembad, leuke ligging!
Het ganse hotel is aan een opfrissing toe. Deuren die niet goed sluiten, frigo die niet fatsoenlijk dicht gaat en verschrikkelijk veel lawaai maakt. Er moet extra betaald worden voor airco, frigo en kluis. In een land waar het elke dag ongeveer 30° is, zouden airco en frigo toch wel mogen inbegrepen zijn.
Worn out, run down, dirty, everything in hotel falling apart or broken.
Asked everyday for them to please repair the TV. They just kept fobbing me off. They don’t care. After 3 days I paid for another hotel and they wouldn’t give me a refund. For the same money you can stay at Regal Apartments which has aircon, a safe, kitchen, fridge freezer, WiFi in room and much more included in the price. Bamboo want to charge extra for all of these.
I also recommend Q City hotel.
I was unable to stay at Bamboo Hotel as per booking. Upon arrival reception staff said no room available due to " overbooking", Hotel staff had arranged for me stay at Seaview Garden Hotel instead. Whilst I did not to pay any additional cost for stay at Seaview, the unexpected change did cause me inconvienience and discomfort as I was separated from my relatives who were staying in hotel right next door to Bamboo.

ruhiges, günstiges Hotel in Strandnähe mit sehr nettem Personal und leckerem Frühstück
Klar, es ist "nur" 2-Sterne-Hotel und mit europäischem Standard nicht zu vergleichen. Einiges könnte erneuert oder renoviert werden. Dennoch war unser Zimmer sauber und das Bett sehr bequem. Klimaanlage brauchten wir nicht, durch die Lage in Strandnähe war immer ein angenehmer Wind (Durchzug reicht). Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, die Frühstücksauswahl zwar nicht üppig, dafür sehr lecker und frisch. Der Poolbereich ist sehr hübsch und man hat ständig warmes Wasser (im Gegensatz zu einem anderen 4-Sterne-Hotel). Im Restaurant "Muna's" nur wenige Meter entfernt gibt es das beste Essen! Riesen Auswahl, alles frisch, tolles Ambiente und großartiger Geschmack. Je nach dem, welche Ansprüche man hat, können wir das Hotel sehr empfehlen. Für mich eine tolle Erfahrung, um von "unserem hohen Roß" und unseren riesen Ansprüchen mal wieder runter zu kommen, denn verglichen zu den Menschen, die dort leben müssen, ist das Hotel schon Luxus.
Gutes Hotel in Strandnähe. Nur das Pool müsste mal gereinigt werden. Seitenwände sind ganz grün.

Great wee value for Money hotel very near the beach 150 yds away
lots of eating places around all worth a try, except the dutch cafe.
The hotel staff take good care of you and make sure you are well served during your stay
the only downside is the number of folks who reserve the sunbeds all day ad don't even bother to use them. Idiots
Sängyssäni ja huoneessaani oli torakoita. Havaitsin ne heti ensimmäisenä (pe) iltana, seuraavana päivänä (la) tein ilmoituksen asiasta. Huoneen siivooja ei uskonut minua, vaan haukkui valehtelijaksi. Seuraavavana päivänä toinen siivooja ja hotellin henkilökuntaan kuuluva mies tuli huoneeseeni myrkyn kanssa , ja sängyn väliin suihkuteltuaan, sieltä alkoi tulla torakoita, jotka sitten tallottiin lattialle. No mitään ei tapahtunut, ennen kuin vasta maanantaina luvattiin, että tehdään täydellinen myrkytys seuraavana päivänä.(ti) Niin sitten olivat kuulemma tehneet. Mutta näin vieläkin niitä siellä ainakin neljä kappaletta seuraavien päivien jälkeen, eli koko viikon lomani ajan. Eräänä päivänä se asiakaspalvelutaidoton siivooja, joka väitti minua valehtelijaksi, tuli aamupäivällä kesken unieni huoneesen, ja alkoi kovalla äänellä kinaamisen torakoista malliin, että hän ei ole tuonut torakoita huoneeseeni, ja ettei se ole hänen vika että siellä on torakoita, ym, muuta yhtä älytöntä. Sanoi minulle useamman kerran ja useampana päivänä että ei siellä ole torakoita kun ei niitä näy. No eipä niitä tietenkään keskellä kirkasta päivää näy, kun torakat ovat yöeläjiä, ja kömpivät esiin vasta hämärällä/pimeällä. Tuohon hotelliin en enää jalallani astu, enkä suosittele sitä kenellekään muullekaan. Kyllä meni loma pilalle. :(
Hotellet är bra och det som skulle kunna förbättras är att man får behålla sina handdukar hela dagen svårt att duscha utan handduk. De flesta av personalen är väldigt hjälpsamma. Man får upprepa om man vill ha något fixat. Maten tar alldeles för lång tid att få. Vi väntade på en tallrik spagetti i 50 min inte ok.

Ideaal hotel niet ver van de kust maar is basic
Kamers rond het zwembad zijn basic , wat verderop meer afgewerkt , vooral de badkamer en kasten maar dan ook duurder.
Gezellig verblijf voor een korte periode, hotelpersoneel is vriendelijk en niet opdringerig .
Heel tof kleinschalig hotel, personeel & management heel vriendelijk, op wandelafstand van het strand en de strip. Kamer is ruim. Warm water beschikbaar (werkt met een schakelaar). Airco meestal apart bij te betalen. Ontbijt beetje eentonig maar voor mij zeker voldoende.
