Hibiscus House was a beautiful oasis in Gambia after travelling. We had to tear ourselves away. The staff were amazing and attentive without being in the slightest bit overbearing. Very helpful with advice on travelling on local buses, shared taxis which we followed successfully. Our room was welcoming and very comfortable. The gardens are well maintained and the pool delightful. The food is fabulous & you can select African dishes if you wish - I would recommend these they were delicious! Whilst we were there it had attracted a eclectic mix of guests who were wonderful to meet & share experiences. Sarah the owner’s pride in her staff and wanting guests to have the best experience of The Gambia & her accommodation was evident. We have been fortunate to stay in many different places on our travels over the years- Hibiscus House is special!

Nothing! All good!

Food was excellent, both breakfast and dinner exceptional

Came upon Hibiscus House at the last minute after an earlier booking didn’t work out. I could not have been made more welcome or comfortable. Sarah and her wonderfully engaging and attentive staff made for a great stay and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Hibiscus Hotel is a little Oasis of pools, gardens, flowers and exotic bird life perfectly located for enjoying a taste of real Gambia. Sarah and her charming team could not have been more welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The meals were fantastic, freshly made to your order and the chef's local Gambian dishes were delicious. Breakfasts were fresh fruits, eggs of any kind, pancakes and warm breads with honey and peanut butter, coffee and fresh fruit juices. Yum!! A great, well stocked bar. The authentic bedrooms are spacious, well positioned around the pools, with comfy beds, great hot showers, ceiling fan & aircon, and everything works well. We enjoyed the 25 minute walk through the town to the wonderful beach and also exploring the neighbourhood of Brufut, meeting the local people and always felt safe and welcome. We loved our week and it suited us perfectly. If you are looking for a young person's holiday with nightlife, this is not for you. If you are looking to emmerse yourself in some genuine African charm, then look no further.

Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, really nice fruit platter and choice of eggs how you like. fresh juice, great coffee and excellent service. Dinner was always a great choice, very talented chefs. Outstanding cocktails and great value for money overall. Entertainment from the house band was such fun. Great staff, wonderful vibe, lovely atmosphere and excellent management team.

Pool was a quite cold and a bit small if you like to swim, but still enjoyable and essential to cool off! If you don't like dogs....there is a house guard dog that wanders around sniffing out any badness...although very placid and harmless if you are not a burglar!

discreet and quirky, very laid back but attention to personal service, extremely welcoming

The whole experience at Hibiscus House offers something for everyone. You can treat your stay as a real 'retreat' or combine it with truly memorable day trips organised by the host. A delightful array of spectacular birds sing in the morning as you wake up and take your delicious breakfast. Crickets sound at night for the perfect nocturnal soundscape. The whole place and space feels like you have arrived at a piece of heaven on this earth.

After a somewhat challenging week in Senegal, arriving at Hibiscus was an absolute joy - an oasis of quiet, comfortable serenity surrounded by lush tropical plants and trees and sparkling blue swimming pool. The rooms are extremely comfortable, the A/C works perfectly and the showers are just what you need after a flight (or some time in the African sun). Sarah is an amazing host, could not have been more helpful and knows all there is to know about Gambia, where to go and what to see/do. The other staff are very friendly, happy to chat about their country and give interesting historical information too. Food very good, and the bar has an excellent selection of drinks. Highly recommended, especially if you're seeking somewhere to chill out, relax and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Everything was great.
