Kinkiliba Beach Lodge

Loved the location.

Water pressure

If You expect 5 star all inclusive,this place is not for You.This is extremly simple,natural,friendly and cosy place and staff.

Stayed here 3 nights, lovely quiet location right on the beach. The room was well decorated and comfortable, we could see the ocean from the room, nice gardens and very clean. The food was very fresh and well prepared. The staff here are wonderful and go above and beyond to assist you. Will definitely return. 10/10.

This place is magic: You find sweet peace, the sweetest staff, super nice food, and a beautiful beach (or 'the pool' as they call it). You will come back here many times, that's just how good it is!

Sometimes the water didn't work in the room, but the staff was always ready to help.

The place was really nice Paradise Beach is the right name for the beach there.. Quiet and peaceful place. Super staff, very helpful. (Except Gaz ..watch the money and on him). Others were really very friendly and helpful. I must mention Mr Ousman who was really amazing. Very basic European style breakfasts but you can arrange local ones :). Other foods were very tasty. Big praise to the cooks.

The equipment was older and deserved maintenance. I know it's not easy there, but for example a broken shower head could be replaced. Don't quite expect European standards - for example hot water, strong internet is not a given here.

Best stay in Gambia, right on the beach! Loved it so much we doubled the length of our stay. Good breakfast and the lunch/dinner was delicious too, I would normally go for chips but there’s are made from the most delicious potato. The fresh orange juice is great too! Everybody is so friendly specially thanks to Ousman & Gas and the team 100% we will be back to stay (the only wifi in our whole two weeks was here not always the strongest so wouldn’t recommend for work purposes) Little note the food takes 1+ hours to come which for me is not a problem I’m used to the African slow life but just don’t wait until you’re hungry to order. The fish is bought daily from the local market 5 mins away and is a fresh as can be I would normally like to visit other hotel but when I return to Gambia I will be back here 10/10 stay!

The beach is amazing, beautiful place, very peaceful. The food was epic and the room and beach bar also very nice.

Even though the place is epic, the guys made our stay not so pleasant, first not really replying to my questions - I asked about different things online and did not receive much answer, only when we arrived the manager was ready to reply, when we actually already booked everything through somebody else. They did not inform us that there is going to be no watter. When we specificaly asked to turn the electricity on at night, they turned it off, promissed to wake up with us at 5 am when we needed to leave...did not. And as a bonus for two girls traveling alone, we got offers of walks under the moon, and not really polite requests for our phone numbers. Single girl travelers usually hope to be safe at least at the place where they stay...

Very kind staff and owners. Perfect place for a nice holiday.

We are two digital nomads and had to work, this is simple impossible here as the wifi is rarely operational, there is barely electricity during daytime and the local mobile providers network was poor. If you are there for a holiday and you want a budget accommodation, this place is super though. We traveled in low / rainy season, I would not recommend traveling this time, its a bit of a weird ambiance on the beach. Hustlers seem desperate for your attention which makes it impossible to have a nice stroll. Other than that, the owners make up for everything, they really do everything to make you feel at home
