Do NOT stay at this hotel unless you have a room beginning with a 2 or a 3...numbers beginning with 4 are in cell blocks...tiny,dark, one pathetic lightbulb, some without air-conditioning or mosquito nets [both a must have in Gambia].We had booked a superior room but were put in cell block C for our first night...had we not complained and...

I was originally overbooked at the hotel down the road, the Sunswing, so on arrival at reception in the Djeliba, I was trying to be "OK, don't complain immdiately, wait and see". First impression, very friendly and helpful staff at reception. Hotel interior and entrance were smaller and less ostentacious than the Sunswing, but nothing wrong with that. It also... More

We had a comfortable stay and the staff were polite, helpful and accommodating. Other reviews suggests some inconsistency with the services provided but our room was cleaned daily with the cleaners literally chomping at the bit to get in. Maybe a little too keen though and I suggest they should wait discreetly round the corner. Nothing went missing even though... More

Just a great place. Excellent hotel crew and for Gambian standards a very good hotel. Dont expect a 5 star European hotel, because it isnt. But if you can overcome tiny flaws like the occasionally cold water, you have the best time of your life. The only thing which could a bit better is the breakfast. This was a little... More

Sorry i can only start with negatives because there are so many of them. 1. On arrival got told we hadn't booked even though I had the confirmation in my hand. 2. We were in the deluxe room with balcony but it wasn't worth what we had paid for it. 3. The room looked tired, unkept and dirty and after... More

Don't bother booking this hotel through thomas cook! it rates it as 3* + yet the senegambia is oly 3* and cheaper! BELIEVE ME - go there! we've been travelling to The Gambia for 14 years and only booked this as we were taking friends who had never been before - we figured if it was better than the Senegambia...

My first impression of Djeliba was very good: I knew I had booked a cheap hotel, so I wasn't expecting too much. The hotel looks clean and is built spaciously around the central pool. When one of the staff showed us our room the first surprise came: I knew the airo was not included, but to ask € 10 per... More

Style at the hotel for 10 days in April 2012 . Clean with friendly staff who were always willing to help and provide information on what to see .location ideal for 5 minute walk to the beach and good restaurants. Be careful whilst you are alone as your wallet will not be with you on your return back to the... More

I actually went to Gambia and stayed here in late March. Hotel was fine. Its Gambia so everything will not always run as smoothly or as quickly as you may come to expect. The fact is, the rooms are a good size with good showers and fan. The pool had plenty of sunbeds on offer and plenty of staff to... More
