Family hotels and homes in Folonko

The breakfast was DELISH! Quators omelettes the BEST DINNER TOO EXCELLENT POSITION, can’t be beaten! Thanks Jerreh for being a perfect host it says after you’ve given all the good stuff it says what didn’t you like and he put any point in putting curtains or sheet or anything

Location is perfect for me. Close to quiet beach and Kartong. As usual, breakfast was wholesome, plentiful and delicious.

This place is truly amazing as the beach, cleanliness, food, owner & staff couldn’t do enough for you!! This is a place to get away but if you want trips, massage, taxi’s to see the local area the lodge will organise what you need without any hassle & value for money.

My stay at Mangrove exceeded my expectations, I was made to feel very welcome. Thank you to Awa, Pa and the boys who couldn’t do enough for me, I feel they are all my extended family, very sad to leave but I will be back!

I stayed at Bosofet for a week. The breakfast was very nice. The hosts asked what I like for breakfast and met my needs in detail. I like to start the morning with a cup of tea and every morning, when I came out to my veranda, there was a flask with hot tea ready for me. As I was enjoying my tea, overlooking the sea, did a generous fruit plate arrive. Soon after that a plate with fresh bread, Spanish omelette and coffee. This breakfast kept me going for many hours. You can also buy lunch and dinner at Bosofet, which I did many times. Fresh fish from the nearby fish market, homemade chips, potatoes, rice, vegetables and nice sauces. I ate so well the whole week and was never ill, despite this being my first time in Africa, which proves that their food hygiene is good. This lodge is the last of a few lodges along a beach road. It makes it a secluded paradise beach with beautiful plants and several places so sit under, with sofas, sunbeds and parasols. The sandy beach and the sea is lovely, I swam every day. If you want company, then stroll over to the bar and meet other people. They can also inform you of things that are happening in the local area. The people who are running this lodge are very hospitable and welcoming. They are sensitive to your needs and will do their best to meet them. If you want to go somewhere you just ask them to organise a taxi for you, which helps you to feel safe. I truly recommend a stay at Bosofet Beach and Creek Lodge. Perhaps you have heard the saying “The smiling coast of Africa”? Well – it’s true – I smiled the whole week! And I am going back this June-August. Staying there for almost six weeks!

This place is magic: You find sweet peace, the sweetest staff, super nice food, and a beautiful beach (or 'the pool' as they call it). You will come back here many times, that's just how good it is!

It is beautifull and on top quiet and peacefull. The staff are like family and there is no problem which they can not solve. Acually like paradise and I will come back soon to enjoy life..

Best rooms in the Gambia. Very nice hosts. Has wifi

The house was so fine! Very clean and comfortable The host Lamin was really amazing! He contacted me straight away when I booked and he was so helpfull and friendly, all my questions where answered and he arranged everything I asked for. Really amazing! The pictures are not lying. Hot shower. Cute garden We stayed for 2 nights to enjoy the Sanyang beach for the wrestling game on sunday (it was ramadan so no game but it still was worth the stay!)

It was a superb stay with super nice hosts! The food and breaky was excellent. If you're looking for an relaxing calm place away from the rest, it's the place to go to. Thanks again will visit again.
