Internet Connect was not good at all. We had to buy data on Mobile which cost us more.

I am very happy to stay Riyan apartment. Staff is very cooperative and their services are amazing. Next time i would love to stay there

Booking.com didn’t tell them of my booking and ETA and arriving at 4.30am I was lucky they have an empty room. The cancellation was not reflected and I had to pay €37 . For what ? It is cheaper if booked directly at arrival like I did.

The location. The kitchen .

The staff especially Amidou and Fatimatou. I also love the fact that there was a supermarket at the front. Made everything easy.

It was great to have a pool which was well maintained, so was being surrounded by the plants and trees. The WiFi had good coverage and the backup generator was very responsive to blips in electricity supply. The apartment was well appointed and suited my needs. Location wise, very close to a well stocked super market, a quality steak house (rib night highly recommended) and locals restaurants, short walk to the beach.

The area was dusty due to road works but cleaning is a 5⭐️

Location is very convenient, less than 5mins work from the beach. Not far from the shopping mall. Rendezvous restaurant within the property a good place to have meals with live music.

Maintenance issues which should have been addressed before the holiday season started. Room 7 is dark and dingy and needs a total refurbishment. Really should not be offered to guests. Happily we were moved The curtains do not fit the windows and make the rooms dark. Investment in better curtains would make a vast difference. There a loads of local tailors that could benefit from an order

Location, well equipped apartments, washing machine etc. Apartments and communal areas are cleaned each day and well kept.

Nothing to dislike about the apartments, although whilst I was there, there were major roadworks on the road outside, which caused some dust and noise during the day. However, the roadworks are only temporary and certainly wouldn’t put me off returning to stay there in the future.

Riyan Apartments is a lovely place to stay. I spent four weeks there whilst working in the Gambia - Riyan was an oasis to return to at the end of each day. My apartment had everything I needed - it was spacious, clean and very comfortable (and the smartTV was a great bonus). The standout feature of the apartments was the lovely pool area, which I made full use of! The staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them. The supermarket and bar/restaurant next door were very convenient too. Thank you Fatima, Paul and Becky for a lovely stay :)

My only suggestion would be to have darker thicker curtains as I was awaken by the light around 7am despite having a sleeping mask. And perhaps also having a mob in-place so we can clean the bathroom after taking showers given the lack of shower curtains. I was provided with extra towels though which was highly appreciated. Small details compared to real issues I experienced elsewhere in Gambia and Senegal.

Having stayed at several properties in both Senegal and Gambia for 3 weeks (two which were 'luxury'), I can only say Riyan Apartments was my favorite overall: great quality-price ratio, extremely friendly, flexible and helpful staff and I will surely stay there next time I go to Gambia as well as recommend it to friends and family (I already have!). It had a 'Melrose Place' feel to it, the 90's TV series. The bedroom A/C worked perfectly which was a true lifesaver at night. Thanks so much to Fatima and all the team!
