AI Summary
Guests appreciate the friendly and reliable service, spacious rooms, and convenient location near the beach and local market. The breakfast with diverse options and local juices is a standout feature.

I like the hotel environment very much. There are not many people and it is relatively quiet. If you like liveliness, you can consider other hotels, but the busiest place is right outside the hotel.
The hotel staff are all super nice
However, the hotel is relatively old, very old, it seems to have been built in 1990, and the facilities are average.

My wife and I have just returned from staying two weeks on a bed and breakfast basis at The Kairaba. We first visited the hotel in 2014 and have visited it many times since, but have never left a review before. The staff here are the main assets from the maids, the waiters, pool guys,gardeners and the reception area. They just cannot do enough to make your stay a happy one. The grounds are just beautiful and you wake up in the morning to the amazing sounds of the many different species of birds, and trust me we are are not known for our bird watching expertise!! The rooms are immaculately clean and the beds are really comfy. The breakfast is fine and there is always a good choice of different things to eat. The pool is lovely and the pool bar and food are great. We are looking to come back in November and believe Olympic Holidays have been signed for holidays from the UK which will be worth looking at. We would recommend anyone who wants a beautiful setting and lots to do outside the hotel grounds to try The Kairaba and enjoy the welcome you will receive from all the staff. Steve and Deb.

Kairaba hotel is 25 minutes from Banjul airport. The hotel is in urgent need of a major refurbishment throughout the whole hotel. On the plus side, the hotel is next to all the restaurants and nightlife and is directly onto the beach. Once it gets a refurbishment and improves the range of breakfast items, the hotel should be a market leader.

Whatever you do DO NOT go to this awful place, we were unfortunate enough to be taken there for 1 night (thank God) with Tui after our flight was cancelled, we have never after 17 visits to the Gambia ever experienced such a poor hotel all around, and before anyone thinks its Africa and there is not the same standards there I have been so many times so feel I can make an honest comparison I have attached some photos of the hovel they called a bedroom,you can clearly see bugs in the actual bed, no toilet roll, no toiletries at all and the smell of damp was sickening breakfast was diabolical the plates were filthy there were no cups or glasses absolutely no bread at all very very poor selection, please do your research as I would hate anyone to experience what we did.

Thank you for the amazing stay and the hotel associates' cooperation, an amazing local variety of breakfast meals, especially local juice. Especial thanks to the reception and F&B team. The room is old but the cleaning is not bad The Hotel beach and facilities were totally amazing

Sadly this place has gone downhill badly since my last stay 4 years ago. Staff service is poor, Internet is hopeless, laundry service terrible (missing clothes and received other people's), room service non existent, phones don't work, pool service is diabolical. I honestly can't say anything good about the place. Stay somewhere else where your dalasi and you are welcome.

I stayed here for 2 nights on business recently. Admittedly this is my first visit to The Gambia but if you are used to European hotels then this place will come as a shock. The grounds were well tended but everything else appeared to have had little maintenance for at least a decade and looked tired, rusty, shabby and in need of a lick of paint. Perhaps this is why there are very few guests. The room and sheets were clean and the aircon worked. However hot water took 5 mins to arrive in a very dated bathroom and the internet is basically unusable. Breakfast is included but very basic. Drinks OK but very expensive. There is a 5m ***** of sand outside the hotel but no beach as such, it has been replaced by a wall of boulders presumably to stop erosion. Thankfully I was not paying the bill myself but there must be better alternatives than this!

Hotel jak hotel. To poprostu Afryka. Natomiast ma fatalne sąsiedztwo. Polecam zabrać korki do uszu. Nie ma szans spać. Muzyka z hotelu obok uniemożliwia jakikolwiek sensl. Nie pomagają nawet korki do uszu. Przykro mi to pisać bo sam hotel jest na dobrym dobrym afrykańskim poziomie.
