Holiday houses in North Bank Division

Ruby and Eddie were incredibly helpful with everything we needed during our stay. The apartment was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view of the ocean. The pool was large and lovely, also overlooking the sea, with charming hemp parasols that created such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Honestly, the pictures don’t do justice to how wonderful the area truly is—it’s even better in person! The apartment was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, and then some. We also had a delightful woman who came to clean every second or third day. She changed the sheets and washed the towels, making sure everything was always fresh and spotless. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place. It exceeded all our expectations!

There are plenty of tourist apartments on the Airbnb that are similar if not nicer than the beach hotels. But when I travel, I like to live in neighborhoods, among the citizens who live in that country. That’s why I stay in Alieu’s home. It’s literally his home, with his room locked off, but three more bedrooms are available for guests. It’s not on a busy paved street and there will be an occasional goat walking by and definitely a dog sleeping on the street in the dust. But it’s a lovely home, with solar power back up, AC in every room, a gas stove and a good refrigerator and a spacious living room and everything I need including Wi-Fi. Things go wrong as usual in life, and Alieu has always responded immediately. And his guard Wally is always on premises to take care of smaller issues. All in all it feels like we’re living in a Gambian home in a Gambian neighborhood. And walking to the corner shop to buy some water or some eggs were the only tourists around.

Its very nice and quiet place near the costal road. The apartment is very comfortable. I have felt very comfortable during my stay there.

Great place for a great value- super close to the senegambia strip and very centered location. Isatou was so nice and accomodating. Her son was so helpful aswell and the place has most things you need. There’s even someone that comes and cleans/changes sheets and towels every week so overall a very great stay. Would highly recommend, see you next time!

We Enjoy our stay a lot. The apartment was very nice, especially for kids. There is a lot of Space, a nice Pool and the children can play outside. We like the old yundum market a lot, the meat pie was the best we Found in this area. You can find many nice local places, that was very nice. Local food, shops and so on. I think a car is good to rent to visit other places, but you can get Taxi easy everywhere. We would book it anytime again.

It has been my 4th visit in the blue house. And i have enjoyed my stay there again. Its a quite place near the Airport . Very comfortable. I'm sure that i will come back.

This place is really a very nice place to stay while you visit Gambia, you really get the privacy they promise, a local Gambia family lives at the condo whom are responsible for the security and gardening. Another Gambia guy will pick you at the airport, and he will arrange anything you need, and is also a perfect guide when you want to do a trip. The condo is in Bijilo area, not far from the beach, but a 10 minutes walk is slightly underestimated in my opinion, but the beach itself is very nice, if you want to go the beach once. The Senegambia strip is only a few minutes by taxi. The garden is in good condition, with a swimming pool which is very big and cool and maintained everyday and you don't need to share it with other people. Sunbeds and umbrella's are available, although due to the moving sun we needed to move the sunbeds very often to get into shade, which is no-one to blame I think. The appartement were clean and decently equipped with a bathroom, with toilet, hot water shower and a sink.The bedrooms have enough storage a good bed and air conditioning. The Kitchen is very well equipped, it has everything you need, we even tried the bbq. We didn't meet the host Annie in person since she does not live in the Gambia, but I liked all contact I have had with Annie she provided us with a lot of information in advance, and I felt that she really wanted us to have a pleasant stay and instructed the local team to make that happen, I know she checked with them everyday if we we doing well. I really do recommend this place, I have had a much better experience than staying in a hotel/resort.

As a Gambian it was my first time going to the Smiling Coast. Unsure of my experience had I known my 'Soon to be' family was here, I would have booked sooner everyone was so hospitable and friendly it really has become my home from home.... the neighbourhood is safe and secure and if you need an extra friend Kunene the cat might be around. By Gods grace I look forward to seeing everybody again in the near future.

I have stayed for a long period in one studio and can say that it has been perfect for my time. Mostly because of Mr Babz and his family’s family warm hospitality and helpfulness. Communication has been excellent. Any small issues were quickly and conscientiously resolved and the compact accommodation is very clean and comfortable. Although the location is away from the centre of activities but close to the airport, if you want an authentic feel for Gambia in bright, modern accommodation, with laundry service and air conditioning, that is excellent value for money (there are many overpriced and poor quality vacation places close to the beaches), and with a very hospitable, communicative host and family, I really recommend a stay at Babz’s studios.
