Absolutely brilliant. Clean, tidy, spacious lovely garden area. Bakebba was wonderful at looking after the property and nothing was too much trouble. A really lovely guy. He's now my friend.
Super lovely place, 2nd visit here in a few weeks, would definitley make this my go to place while staying in Gambia.Good clean well maintained facilities and garden.The host Bakkeba is an absolute blessing to be around, humble and caring.
Had the most amazing time in this beautiful bungalow.The accomodation is exactly as advertised, spacious, clean, and comfortable.The host Bakkeba what can I say, very hospitable, accomodating, welcoming, and very humble, cant do enough tonmake you comfortable and safe.Would definetley recommend and return
This place definitely contributed to an amazing experience in The Gambia. We where surround by comfort, clean spaces, and beautiful gardens. The place has a perfect location, we felt safe and secure and most importantly we received an exceptional service by its manager Bakebba, a kind, honest, generous and responsable person. I most say my stay here exceed my expectations by far.
Would definitely recommend absolutely loved staying here i will be booking again for next year . Bakebba who looked after us was so lovely and helpfull he would go out his way to help definitely 10 out of 10
The host was highly welcoming and accommodating. The host made sure we had a comfortable stay and ensured we had everything we needed. The house was clean. At night, the property is secured by a large gate, and the host is present on the property overnight. The property is located a bit off the main road, but you are still within a 5 minute drive to local beaches and shops. The place is not the most suitable for kids. There are a decent amount of decorative items that young kids could easily break if you are not being watchful of them. Otherwise, I highly recommend this property.
Lovely property with all that you need for a self catering home. Clean with all amenities. Probably looking at a 20 min walk to the beach. And 10 mins by car to the senegambia strip. Help on site from Bakeeba if you need anything or lifts to and from any trip out. Would stay here again.
We was greeted at the airport by Bakebba who from the moment we arrived he did everything he could for us to make our holiday lovely. We used him for our taxi. The apartment is a bit out the way but was not a problem for us. Tvs in every bedroom. Gated and lovely garden and sunbeds. This is real value for money
We stayed 3 weeks in March 2024. From the first contact with the Property Manager Bakebba was all communication exellent. Bakebba is very nice, kind, heartfelt and helpful. The villa is nice, clean and cosy and had all what we needed. A nice 4 wheeled car with Bakebba as driver was always available. This stays as our second home. Thanks for all and hope to see you soon again Bakebba.

Thank you Benita for your nice and welcoming review of the property Eden Villa.
It was my pleasure to greet and take care of you on your stay,
That you found the villa clean and tidy is most gratifying.
Looking forward to your next visit and stay with us.
Thank you Bakebba
This was the perfect getaway for our family. It was our first time in Gambia and we are looking forward to the day we can return. I believe that we can say this because of our stay in Eden Villa. The property was as it is described. It was plenty of space for our family of 5. It was in close proximity to the beach and other attractions that our youth were interested in. Due to unforseen (personal) circumstances, we had to spend more time in the residence than anticipated but it's proximity to everything allowed us to still have amazing experiences. This was thanks to Bakkeba Cessay.Bakkeba was so gracious and helpful from the moment we arrived. He is very thoughtful and knowledgeable about Gambia and the community we were in. He helped us acclimate well to the space (as we were far away from home). He was very responsive throughout our time there and we deeply appreciated him for his services.Thank you for making us feel at home in the Gambia. Until next time.
Kontakt mit Keba schon vor Anreise sehr gut, Abholung am Flughafen perfekt. Super höflicher, freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der jederzeit ansprechbar war und sich um alles kümmerte. Danke für den tollen Urlaub, wir kommen wieder
