From sunshine in May to rain in July

“Cosy perfect hide-out”

Trip Advisor Review

Reviewed 10 June 2014

Stayed May 2014, traveled with friends

We had a great time. If you prefer a family run place instead of a expensive 5 star hotel. Go for Hibiscus house. Swimming pool, jacuzzi, air con, lovely bar, nice staff, brilliant food and 10 beautiful rooms to relax. The beach is in walking distance.

It is always wonderful to hear that our guests have enjoyed their stay.

You can enjoy a variety of outings from bird-watching to fishing in the bolons, walking in the woods or just relaxing wheresoever you choose.

Now in July we are at the beginning of the rainy season, dark clouds loom above and thunder rumbles, luckily most of the storms are pretty swift to move on.

A calm and friendly retreat in the heart of a real African village

Trip Advisor review 2014

Hibiscus House was quite a find! Run by an English woman called Susan and her son Oliver, they have worked hard to build the place from scratch into a fantastic guesthouse retreat. The Gambian staff they have hired are fantastic with the guests - nothing is a problem, and they often welcome you to join in with them in chatting and having a bit of banter. Seriously!
It's a great place to relax by the pool, spot some rare Gambian bird-life in the shaded garden, or talk to the staff and other guests over a drink at the poolside bar.
Almost the best thing though is the location, because as soon as you step outside you're right onto the quiet shaded streets of a proper African village.
