Guest Reviews

• Sharon (10/5): Loved it so much place and people - Clean spacious rooms friendly staff and good location lovely garden area 24 hour person on site cleaners every day and nothing was to much for them As was end of season they had problem with the Poole so could not use it so that was a real shame as think it would have been really nice
• Vincent (9/5): Great time - Mr Omah, the young manager is excellent and can't.help you enough. Nothing is too much trouble. We loved our little chats in the morning. Tui lost mu wife's case and he rang the airport everyday until it was returned, he's an Angel. The whole staff team.are very friendly, they have huge heart and big smiles. Breakfast is basic but the bread is to die for, so soft and fresh A personal thank you to Omar and his lovely staff. There was a bit of refurbishment going on so the bar and restaurant was closed. I'm sure it's going to look great when it's finished. The dirt roads around the area are very dark at night take a good torch.
• Emily (9/5): Lovely guesthouse in a very tranquil neighbourhood - Roc heights is a lovely guesthouse located in a very quiet and tranquil neighbourhood not far from the beach, local markets and other amenities. I was really struggling to find a small hotel/ guesthouse around Banjul as the big hotels aren't really for me so I was really happy to come across Roc Heights. Enormous, spotless, very comfortable rooms. Beautiful guesthouse and gardens and good value for money. Staff are lovely and very helpful! The breakfast could be improved with some fruit/ a bit more variety.
• Gabor (7/5): Good - Comfy room a little worn down. Breakfast could have been richer.
• Herberth (10/5): - Excellent value for the rpice
• Alice Volle (10/5): - Very nice little property with great friendly staff. Not directly on the beach but it's a short easy walk away. My room was spacious and very comfortable. If you're looking for a beach front resort this isn't it, but if you want a large comfortable room on a nice quiet street this is a great property for you
• Nick (7/5): COLONY STILE MAISON - SWIMMING POOL CLOSED
• Matthew (8/5): Great service, but could use some improvements - A decent stay. The biggest positive: the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Omar in particular was very helpful and provided great advice. The hotel itself could use some updates though. Several things in the room were not working (tv, refrigerator), the mosquito net had holes, and the water pressure and temperature were both low. The breakfast was just a hard boiled egg, some bread, and a hot beverage. There was also no bottled water in the room. The hotel didn’t offer any other food or beverage onsite, but options were available within a five-minute walk. The pool looked nice but was being painted and was out of service. A lot of potential, especially in an area with little mid-range hotel offerings.
• Anders (9/5): Superb -
• Obed (8/5): Very good -
• Marco (8/5): super - We extended our stay because of the quality of this house and because of the staff. Good location, NOT at the beach, but easy to reach by feet. Easy to find, due to enough signs in the streets. Helpful staff, you can ask for any support you need. Rent can be paid in Euro and Dalasi. Good parking in front of the hotel. strong WiFi- up to 8 Mbps. The complementary breakfast was okay , could be better
• Keeshan (10/5): - Warm welcome received from the staff. The staff polite and respectful. I encourage you to book your stay here.
• Lynda (10/5): - Spacious room, cleaned every day, lovely staff and very friendly. Property is in a good position, 5 mins walk to beach. Would recommend and going back again in March.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Wir hatten ein 3 Bettzimmer bei Expedia reserviert. Das Hotel hat überhaupt keine 3 Bettzimmer. Wir mussten dann 2 Zimmer nehmen und nochmal bezahlen. das ist ärgerlich
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place - with a pool, spacious rooms, and a very friendly owner. Walking distance to the beach too. Excellent value for money
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very friendly and accessible lodging - Good Wi-Fi Loved it and will return.
• Everette (10/5): Quiet area of Cape Point Bakau - This hotel is located in the residential area about a 5 minute walk from the Cape Point area of Bakau. It is situated over several floors. There is no elevator. The common areas have their own quaint regional ambiance. The rooms have air conditioning, TV, and mosquito netting over the beds. The wifi is good throughout the property. A continental breakfast is served. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a security guard at the main entrance.
• Igor Andre (8/5): A cozy lodge with great staff - Banjul is a complicated place for hotel selection. You either have high fancy tourist resorts or "not so fancy" lodges... There isn't a "business-style" hotel. Roc Heights falls into the second category. It's quite a nice and cozy lodge, but don't expect any "luxuries". Breakfast is quite simple, but it will get you on the road. Rooms are very spacious, but again, nothing really "sophisticated". But one thing for sure is unbeatable.. staff friendliness. Everyone at Roc Heights is great! Very friendly people. If you're staying for many days, I would suggest to stay business days here, and then go for the "fancy hotels" just for the weekend. Like most lodges, you don't have a traditional reception, and there is no food at the hotel (except for breakfast). They order from surrounding restaurants. You have interesting restaurants at walking distance, but you have to face 500m of dirt/sand road, so avoid classy shows.
• Michael (8/5): Lovely and calm - It was a lovely place and serene atmosphere
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I liked the quiet location away from the main strip. The gardens were beautiful. I also appreciated the mosquito netting around the bed!
• mark (10/5): Great friendly hotel - The room was clean & very spacious plus a view over the pool from the balcony. It's located in a quiet side road & only 5 minutes walk to the local restaurants & beach. Breakfast is generous with cereals, fresh bread, eggs, juice + tea/coffee. For me though it was the staff that made my stay extra special. Friendly & really helpful from arranging tour guides to general information. Would stay here again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 다음에도 꼭 이용하고 싶은 호텔입니다. - 저번에 호텔이용후 만족하여 다시 체크인한 곳입니다. 주변지역으로 이용이 편리하고 타 호텔보다 편안함을 주는 곳이라 그곳에 가게 된다면 다음에도 꼭 이용하고 싶습니다. 덧붙여, 아침식사가 푸짐하면 더더욱 좋겠습니다.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 전반적으로 아주 만족했습니다. - 전반적으로 만족했습니다. 객실담당도 친절하고 주변교통이 괜찮아서 다른곳으로의 이동이 편리합니다. 객실도 청결하고 여행객의 마음을 편안하게 해 주는 호텔입니다.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet hotel of good standard. Close to restaurants, banks and at the appropriate distance for bird watching
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great guesthouse accommodation. Recommend for service, cleanliness and comfort. Good wifi and workspace in rooms. Rooms are very spacious. Continental breakfast with some local foods. Not a tourist area but mainly local and NGO community. Close to beach and a couple of restaurants (10 min walk)
• Olivier (8/5): Comfortable stay - I only stayed two-nights in the hotel. Room was comfy and spacious. AC is a bit old but works fine. Breakfast was fine but no extra were proposed (e.g fried eggs). If you travel for business for a week, I would not recommend it particularly as it is a bit far away from everything.
• Margaret (10/5): A haven of peace in bustling Bakau - My first time at Roc Heights and I will definitely go again next time I am in Gambia. Omar and his team ensured that everything was done to keep me happy in the hotel and safe outside as a solo woman. In a quiet location away from the tourists but near enough to the beach for a short wander, the hotel is a haven of peace with delightful gardens either to eat breakfast of just sit and relax after a day's work. Most of the guests are working so the place is empty during the day. I didn't try the swimming pool and I didn't see anyone else try it either. There is definitely an old fashioned country house party feel about the hotel with all guests friendly to each other at breakfast. Wi fi not bad but a local SIM card with data would be better.
• Anett (10/5): - Es war ein sehr angenehmer erholsamer Aufenthalt. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gern wieder.
