We had never been to Africa before so it was a voyage of discovery for us and three teenagers. Hibiscus House is a perfect way to experience ‘real’ Africa with boutique hotel luxuries. It looks great on the website, and for once, it really is that good- or better! Set within a self-contained compound, stylish rooms are set in tropical... More

Having travelled pretty widely around the world, and fairly frequently in The Gambia on business in the past, we have to say that this was probably the most perfect hotel we have ever come across. We stayed for eleven days and felt that we had put a footmark in Brufut village. The hotel is small and beautiful, and understated. It... More

We stayed here this weekend and it was absolutely lovely. It is an oasis in an African Village. Room was cozy and very clean. The staff were spot on.Not intrusive but not impersonal. The beautiful foliage around the pool and rooms makes the whole environment so serene. You just don't want to leave. The food was the best we have... More

Don't stay here if you like fighting over sun loungers or want wall to wall entertainment every night! But, if you like small hotels with an individual approach, good food and excellent service, you will find it at Hibiscus House. Eight individual, idiosynchratic rooms, each with private seating area and easy access to the pool are set in delightful gardens... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and then travelled round the Gambia. This was the nicest place we stayed by a long way. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is really good. As many others have said, the gardens and the pool are lovely. The rooms are fine too - I really liked the way they've used... More

Whilst staying in self catering apartments in Brufut village last month, and having visited Hisbiscus House last year, we decided to treat ourselves to some special meals and a bit of luxury at this beautiful hotel, having 'roughed it' for most of our month's stay. The first evening that we went this year, we took some other guests who were... More

We stayed in the middle of january 2012 for 7 days. Outstanding place!! Lovely rooms, beautiful garden with pool and great (homecooked) food. In the middle of a village. If you want to connect with the local people, then this is the right place for you. If you are after a fancy enviroment around the corner (beach promenade, discos, gift... More

Hibuiscus House is everything you could want in a hotel and more. We were collected from the airport and although we did feel a little anxious as it was our first time in The Gambia we soon put all our fears to rest when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel rooms are well spaced amongst the very mature gardens,... More

We stayed at Hibiscus House for two nights at the end of our holiday in The Gambia. We had previously been up the river for 3 nights and on the the beach near Kartong for 3 nights. Both simple but fabulously located places. Hibiscus was the opposite. Hibiscus House is a brilliant little oasis but not in a great location.... More
