Mandinka Lodge

"Heel mooie, rustige tuin, waar je ongestoord, in het gezelschap van kleurrijke vogeltjes, kunt relaxen. De vriendelijke eigenaars, Diana en Lamin, zorgen ervoor dat alles naar wens verloopt."

"Het was nogal donker in de kamer."

"Een oase in een gewone wijk buiten de toeristische zone. Lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt. Hartelijke ontvangst en bediening door zowel d eigenaars als het personeel. Je kan steeds met je vragen bij hen terecht."

"Niets."

"Eigenaresse en echtgenoot zijn zeer hulpversteekkenf en zeer sympathiek"

"Het laatste stukje openbare weg naar de lodge super relaxed"

"Eigenaren van de lodge, inclusief de ‘taxi driver’ waren ontzettend behulpzaam. Accomodatie was ontzettend mooi en schoon. Prima lokatie voor allerlei activiteiten"

"Aucun."

"Cleanliness and warmth of the hosts, very relaxing."

"It was good, not sure what could be done but the exterior noise can be difficult to get used too."

"Diane and Lamin were excellent hosts. Accommodation very comfortable and clean. Very close to shops,restaurants and beach….a perfect location!"

"Aucun."

"The place is very nicely decorated, Bintu cleaned it very well, everything was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. The walk to the beach or to restaurants wasn't too bad, but could be hot and dusty. Thanks for the relaxing stay."

"I liked everything, but having access to a kitchenette on site would be great."

"Decoration, location, comfort, cleanliness and staff"

"Water pressure and a bit noisy"

"The Madinka Lodge was a little oasis near the Senegambia Strip and beach. Diane and Lamin were wonderful hosts, and the other staff, Bintu (cleaner), Boba, and Backa (security), were always friendly and helpful. The gardens, chill out areas, and small pool provided a lovely relaxing atmosphere that I spent quite a few hours in watching the colourful birds and lizards. The lodge is about 5-10 mins walk to the strip and a further 5 to the beach. Its worth walking another 10 mins to the poco loco beach bar as that's a much better beach."

"It wasn't a problem for me but it should be noted it is fan's only and not air conditioned."

"A very beautiful comfortable and well-kept lodge, the surrounding garden is totally lush and idyllic with lots of singing birds that will wake you up in the morning. I loved its traditional design, you can tell a lot of care and attention went into it. The hosts and the staff were super friendly and helpful at all times and will make you feel at home. Thank you Diane Lamin and all the staff for my wonderful stay!"

"The area is not really walkable, you have to travel everywhere by car because of the state of the roads, heavy traffic, and people bothering foreigners. So even though the beach is not so far you will still need a taxi to get there. Also be aware there is no air con, which for me was fine."
