Bakadaji Hotel

This has potential to be a fantastic hotel. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and well appointed. The pool area is lovely and the food is pretty good. The downfalls are no kettle in the room, we had 3 different rooms during our stay (we came and went a few times over 3 weeks) and none of the hairdryers worked. The key constantly needed rechipping and we got locked out at least 4 times. The ground staff ie: gardeners, pool guy, cleaners and car park men were all lovely but the front of house staff in reception and restaurant were miserable and unfriendly. Not very welcoming. There also needs to be someone who comes around for drinks orders at the pool, walking up to the main building in swimwear isn’t very comfortable and something most other hotels do anyway. But this said we would stay here again as it is by far the nicest hotel in the area now (we’ve been coming to the Gambia for years)
