Tendinkoto Lodge

Very peacefully setting,lots of birds about,felt very relaxed and that's something I'm not very good at. Oliver and Helen are excellent Gambian and continental chefs ,an oasis of peace

We had to move on with our adventure

L'accueil topissime.

We had a wonderful time at the Tendinkoto lodge. First of all, Helen and Oliver were the perfect hosts. They are very friendly and talkative and have the best recommendations for activities, ranging from the true Gambian experience to the worthwhile tourist destinations. Anytime we had a question we would get an immediate answer and they were always ready to help us. Secondly, the food made by both Helen and Oliver was amazing. They had a wide dinner selection ranging from Gambian food to European classics and pasta. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the whole compound is nice and feels private and safe. Furthermore, the whole staff was incredibly friendly. They always asked how everyone was doing and were present anytime you needed them. Of course we can't forget about Max, a fantasticly nice dog that always came running to you in the happiest way. We had a great time and would definitely love to go back if we are ever back in The Gambia. This is not the place for you if you want many tourist attractions on walking distance, but if you want a place as a starting point for exploring the real Gambia with amazing hosts this definitely is the place to be.

Oliver och Helen var mycket trevliga värdar. Kändes oss väldigt välkomna. De hjälpte oss när vi blivit av med vårt bagage. Fick vatten och hjälp med sin simkort direkt när vi blev upphämtade på flygplatsen. Vi gjorde matlagningskursen, vilket var mycket uppskattad. Helen är en utmärkt kock. Vår son fyllde även år och de hjälpte till med att ordna en tårta till honom. Allt du kan önska och även det där lilla extra.

Inget. Allt var bra!

TendinKoto Lodge was an absolute dream. Oliver and his wife Helen were extraordinary hosts , thoughtful, intuitive, and effortlessly warm. It truly felt like five-star service while remaining deeply relaxed and personal. The pool is beautiful, the food exceptional, the dogs utterly charming, and the atmosphere incredibly peaceful. What made it so special was the perfect balance: being left completely to our own devices, yet always feeling that anything we needed was immediately there, without ever having to ask. It was the perfect place to land in The Gambia — grounding, restorative, and memorable in the very best way. We left feeling nourished, rested, and already longing to return. Thank you for creating such a special place.

Un oasis en nuestro viaje por África. Desde el primer día, Oliver y Helen nos hicieron sentir en casa. Unas instalaciones perfectas para disfrutar del clima, la tranquilidad y la hospitalidad local. Sin duda, volveremos

Nada

Although a little difficult to find, was worth the effort. More comfortable and well fitted out than I had a right to expect. Although not the largest had the most comfortable bed I slept in Gambia and a lovely bathroom, places for clothes, table, chest of drawers etc. A lovely pool and within walking distance of a typical Gambian village. Host Oliver and Helen very friendly and helpful and accommodated everybodies culinary preferences. The best place I stayed in Gambia. a very quiet and restful place.

Can't think of anything.

Accomodation was excellent exceeding expectations.Food was well prepared and hosts went out of their way to probide us with a good time.Internet was the best ive experienced in The Gambia.

Super eigenaars, Oliver en Helen. Niets was te veel gevraagd. Mooie kamers, leuk zwembad, grote tuin met verl vogels, vriendelijk personeel en super lekker eten. Mogelijkheid tot massage. Kortom een perfecte afsluiter van 4 nachten van onze vakantie.

I spent my first four days in Gambia with Helen and Oliver at Tendinkoto Lodge. Oliver picked me up from the airport, greeted me with a cold bottle of water, and took care of buying a SIM card and exchanging money. The Tendinkoto Lodge is very spacious and, with its many trees, resembles a park. The generous breakfast and excellent dinner were enjoyed at a table with other friendly guests. This led to some very interesting and entertaining conversations, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Not to mention the lodge's fantastic amenities, such as, very good beds with superb mattresses and high-quality bed linen and towels + fast internet, the lovely pool, and the warm hospitality. With Helen and Oliver, I felt like I was visiting good friends. For independent travelers in Gambia, it is possibly one of the best places to stay. I hope to return soon.
