10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property. My room was spacious and clean. Enjoy the hotel Resturant for breakfast and dinner. Property is conveniently located with walking distance from the senagambia tourist strip which is nice if you want something other than hotel food. Lots of restaurants to choose from although the restaurant prices are actually very reasonable. The staff was very accommodating and lovely. I would stay here again.

Great place let down by racial profiling incident

This was my second time staying at the Kololi Beach Resort, and the hotel itself is great—great location, nice rooms, and excellent front-of-house staff. However, my stay was ruined by an overzealous security guard who was probably only doing what he had been taught to do - keep Black women out, who they assume all must be "ladies of the night." was stopped by a security guard who did not approach me with any kind of courtesy and demanded to know what I was doing at the hotel and whether I was staying there.

6/10 Good

Probably better in main accomodation.

We were fortunate enough to be given an upgrade from standard to superior - how we wish now that we were not. Check-in was an interesting experience and despite on check-out almost being hustled out of our room by the cleaner there was no option around getting into the room early if it was ready. Not a big deal as could go use the pool and towels are provided. The room was big, clean with the bathroom a little dated with a broken handle on the door and a shower head that was a little tempremental. The biggest issue was the noise from the bar accross the road which went on to around 3am on the weekend and about 2am during the week. Not the hotels fault - and becuase we were only there a short time we didn't ask to move rooms as firstly the reason for the upgrade was the shortage of standard room and quite honestly I could not be bothered to pack and unpack again (the weekend extra time being the last 2 nights). If you are given a room in the Stones building my advice would be to ask to move to the other accomodation - unless you plan on drinking into the early hours then it would be perfect. While the Stones building does have it's own pool it is quite some way from the beach (and the main accomodation) and main pool area. Drinks were somehow more expensive in the top bar than the beach bar (for beer). We did not try the food but recommend the milkshakes. I would only stay here again if it is was in the accomodation blocks near the main pool/beach.

6/10 Good

Most of the staff were very welcoming especially reception staff in particular Igbo. The restaurant staff were not as friendly. One of the staff did not give me my change back( 25 dalassi ). Got my orders wrong once or twice. On one occasion i did not get my food that i ordered. When i went to inquire the lady that served me said that she didnt realise that i ordered. But she was very apologetic. The room that i stayed in could have been cleaned better. The soap in the dish was soft and melted. I found this off putting to use so we never used it. We just used our own to wash our hands. The wash sink could have been cleaned daily. There was dirt on the bathroom door inside and outside. The sofa in our room had stains on it. The skirting had dust on it. We had asked for an iron and had to wait about 4 days but we got it in the end. The wifi was terrible. Whenever i went to reception the staff connected wifi but when i went to my room i couldnt get it and also couldnt get it on the beach just outside the restaurant. On the whole for how much we payed I would stay there again if the cleanliness and wifi availability improved. The reception staff and security staff were very polite and welcoming.
