Mandinka Lodge

"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."

"Great location , great hosts."

"Nothing"

"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."

"Diane and Lamine are the kindest hosts, and my room was great, nicely done and spacious. The lodge is down a smaller street, very calm and quiet."

"The street the lodge is on has no lights, quite close to the beaches and restaurants but at night not the nicest walk back (you can of course take a taxi)."

"The hosts Lamin and Dianne were most welcoming, personally escorted to room on arrival, which was beautiful and clean. Location was good, walking distance to the beach and restaurants There was a pool when walking to beach was too much. There is 24 hour security and always felt welcomed as a lone traveller. The garden area was peaceful and relaxing. Personal touches extended were thoughtful. Would highly recommend Mandinka Lodge, and would stay again. Thank you."

"There was nothing I did not like."

"It was a beautiful haven from the hustle and bustle outside. It was clean and the suite was very comfortable."

"Nothing. Diane and Lamin, and all the staff are wonderful. Watching the colourful birds feed each morning with our breakfast was blissful. Along with the lizards."
