I booked with the Gambia Experience 4 days before I travelled on a bed and breakfast basis. I picked the tickets up at Gatwick Airport. My wife and I went to the Sheraton last year, also with the Gambia Experience. The Sheraton is great all-inclusive hotel but is a taxi ride away from the main resort. The Kairaba is situated... More

This hotel is a few years old and could do with some modernisation but offered us a very comfortable stay and great value. Nice room overlooking the sea, clean and spacious. Beautiful gardens with nice sun lounger space, private beach on separate level to general walkers which is great, hammocks and other shaded areas. Nice pool bar with great live... More

This hotel has been around for a while and you can tell, nevertheless there are lots of repeat guests who seem to like it. I would not rate this as a five star hotel; the area around the pool is tired and needs a face lift and the beach area which is serviced by hotel staff is dirty and should... More

Just come back from our 5th visit to The Kairaba and not disappointed. Although the hotel has been open for some time and is not so trendy the beautiful gardens full of flowers and wildlife more than compensate. The rooms in the gardens are spacious, clean and well equipped, if a little tired and the pool area is holiday heaven-... More

This hotel is lovely. We had only booked for bed and breakfast, and ate out in the small town every night. We were delighted with everything. The room was perfectly adequate, and roomy. We didn't upgrade, and we really didnt feel the need to. We had been warned about noise from the Senagambia Hotel next door, but we didn't hear... More

The Kairaba hotel is a great place to stay for complete relaxation and peace of mind. We could have taken the 'dining package' but were (rightly) advised by one of the Gambia Experience ladies that there were plenty of excellent places to eat within a short distance and not at huge cost. We ate somewhere different almost every night and... More

Our first visit to The Gambia and we were unsure what to expect, but we were so very pleased that we had chosen to stay at The Kairaba. The hotel has a fairly unprepossessing entrance and the reception area isn’t as fancy as some, which can be a little underwhelming on arrival, but the grounds are lush, green and beautiful.... More

I think most things have been said about this hotel. I went with my sister for a weeks holiday, we wanted somewhere not too expensive and sunny. This certainly fitted the bill. The hotel was excellent value for money. We stayed in block 2 on the upper floor in a deluxe room, it has great views and was nice and... More
