This was our third visit to the smiling coast of The Gambia and Golden Beach Hotel was exactly what we were looking for. It is a small hotel with 23 rooms all with sea views and balconies to enjoy the sunsets on the golden beach. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the quiet relaxed evenings at the...

Disappointed with hotel this time. Still the lovely peaceful place in a great beachside location. On the negative side, breakfast poor, cut bananas going bad everyday with cereal or toast! Not even a boiled egg. Main food menu is a joke, barely anything available. Only one TV channel available after a two day wait for aerial cable. Plenty of hot... More

The best thing about this hotel is it's location on the beautifull and peacefull Golden Beach. Our room was very spacious, clean and pleasantly decorated. The furniture was functional and if the bed was hard it was also very comfortable. The bathroom, while not particularly attractive was ok and everything worked. In fact, apart from a loose hinge on the... More

We stayed 23 Jan to 2nd Feb 2013. The hotel has about 24 rooms and we tried 4 of them before we gave up and realised they were all terrible!!! I totally agree with everything said by 'Sunseekerno 1' and 'Roy M'. We asked our Thomas Cook rep for a change of hotel after 1 night, we begged for a... More

Right, where do I begin....... Let me just start by saying this is a motel. Not a hotel. FACT. Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. On arrival at the hotel you are asked if you would like any optional extras, Air conditioning is £55 for the first week and £50 for every other week. A safe... More

The hotel regrets this review as the majority of our guests are very satisfied with the hospitality, comfort service and friendliness of our staff. We accept that the room was a late departure room and was very quickly fixed for which we apologize for the brief inconvenience. Both Thomas Cook and the hotel recommend the hire of Safe in the...
