The size of the bathroom is small. Similar to the cabin bathroom size on a cruise ship. There isn't a mini fridge in the room. Guests can use the communal fridge located in the outside dining patio. Not a big deal but for those that drive a car, there is only space to park maximum 3 cars in their gated court yard. They are located on a quiet street so cars can also park on side of road

The staff is friendly and respectful. Whatever we needed, the staff was willing to assist us. Our room was a nice size and was very clean. They do have a safe in the room. There was a window AC which I used at night. The breakfast they offered was made to order omelette, tea, coffee, the local made bread, corn flakes cereal, seasonal fruit plate. They also have butter, jam, peanut butter etc.. The pool is cleaned daily. It is not too big but it is deep. There are a few mini markets and restaurants within walking distance. We felt at home here and I would stay again.

Nice room, clean, welcoming hosts, good breakfast, nice pool. Tea and coffee always available. Location is a 15 minute walk from the beach. A 2 minute walk to a couple of good mini-markets. We really enjoyed our stay!

Dabo house was a true gem. I truly believe my holiday was enhanced by my stay at Dabo House!!! I loved the location!!! The sunrise on the roof terrace was breath taking!! The staff were amazing - especially Mr Saleef who made our stay so much more comfortable!! He was always there to assist with advice and more! He made the best Ataya tea for us to drink!! He was a true and generouse host!!! I cant imagine staying anywhere else whilst on holiday to the Gambia!!! Having tea and talking to staff made me feel at home!!! They sorted out Taxi drivers at good prices for me! They even carried my luggage across the sand a few minutes down the road!!! If you want a lovely, authentic and safe experience then upon you is this Beautiful Hotel! The pictures they have up on bookings.com does no justice! The Hotel is suprisingly charming!!! The price was also incredible for what they offered!!! They had air con which I never ecpected at this price. They also had back up generator to keep lights on and fan incase of the untimely local black outs. 10/10 could not score any better!!! A truly lovely experience!!! Thank you Saleef and Dabo House!!!!

Loud music in the weekend night from neighboring bar, on the other hand weekdays were really quiet.

Good place to spend vacation. Friendly staff, large rooms good breakfast. Just next to the Coastal road but without traffic noise.

Dabo House is a sweet little hotel with plenty of character and kind, thoughtful, accommodating staff. It is convenient to shops, restaurants, and the beach, but in a location that does not feel touristy.

The rooster that crowed a little too early in the morning

Dabo house is like an oasis in the middle of the African village. It is hospitable and it always feels like coming home.

Dabo guesthouse is a Nice place to stay- big open yard with possibility to relax at the pool or enjoy the time with other guests or the staff. Very kind and helpful staff, assisting both in smaller and bigger issues . Very nice vacation altogether. We will return here again.

You get power cut sometimes but that is normal in the Gambia, and they have a generator in case of long power cuts.

We had a wonderful time at Dabo House. They are close to the beach, have a pool, free wifi, AC and a fan (for some hotels you have to pay extra for those) and breakfast was included. The staff was very attentive and the room was clean and comfortable. The location is good because it is not the touristy area so you are not harassed by people trying to sell you stuffs.

Amazing little place, feels like a home away from home. Salif couldn't do more to make you feel welcome and adapt to your needs. The location is wonderfully peaceful but not too far from shops and other facilities. Would return in a heartbeat.

Everything was fine.

The pool was the perfect temperature. We were well taken care of the whole time. The location is close to the beach and shops. It was relaxing and nice to meet other international travelers.

Hubby's suggestion is maybe have a small TV and fridge in the rooms.

It was an amazing place to stay, I highly recommended it and will happily stay there again. The staff could not do enough for you. I mark it 11 out of 10.

smoking on the compound is not allowed. Which is fair enough, but as a woman standing in a small road at night on my own is very uncomfortable. maybe a designated smoking area at certain times would be a solution?

the staff was amazing! very friendly and very accommodating. they even allowed us to check out a little later and helped find a taxi. Breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared. Everything was squeaky clean!

All is good.

Property, staff and breakfasts are awesome. Clean, light and airy. The terrace furniture is especially comfortable when you want to enjoy outdoors. If you choose to have dinner there, Salif is an excellent chef. It's a wonderful place to relax and the atmosphere is perfect. If you're thinking about working while you're there you're going to need to be very disciplined because the place encourages fun and relaxation more than working. Though the space in the dining area provides a good laptop area. Get a djembe or kora lesson while you're at Dabo house. You won't regret it. Also, when you need a cab, let them know and they'll call a trusted cabbie for you. Reduces the haggle hassle on the street. The mini market is a 2-minute walk and is well-stocked. You get a shelf in the fridge at Dabo House so it's a good place to keep drinks and such.

No complaints at all!!

Wow great place, very clean and comfortable, hot showers (most of the time)! As for the staff, we'll they could not be more helpful and happy, especially Salif who obliged our requests every way possible, he is worth every dalasis he earns and more! The owner Mr Dabo also accomodated us by allowing visits from the family we have in Gambia. Big thankyou to all.

Nothing to dislike

This place has a perfect location for pretty much everything, 15 minutes walk to the beach, supermarkets and restaurants are really close. But I prefer Salifs yummy food almost every evening! Salif, Amara and Mohamed are true gems who can help you with whatever you need, the owners are really nice also. I stayed in room 2, and the bed is so comfy! Toilet and shower is good. I love the pool area also. And all peace and quiet this place give. Really it is your home in Africa!

liked everything

We loved every minute of our stay at Dabo house , great hosting from Ulrika and the team. The staff are friendly and helpful , special thanks to Salif for looking after us and Yanmara ( apologies if spelling is wrong) for making it possible for us to watch the Arsenal football match , much appreciated. Lovely enclosed courtyard with pool and seating , clean , comfortable rooms and a good breakfast included, great value for money . We were lucky to be staying at the same time as a “ drum and dance “ group, lovely people , great entertainment, the performance on the beach was fantastic 👏👏👏.
