- Mohamed amir (10/5): - Absolutely the best host i have ever had in Africa, a very polite, helpful Scottish woman, the room is neat, the breakfast was amazing, very good value for money.
- Nina (10/5): - Schöner entspannter Ort für Traveler. Preis Leistung super!
- Claudia (9/5): - Ein ruhiges Einod mitten im Chaos. Wer mit einfachen Standards zufrieden ist wird es hier lieben. Die Besitzer haben die Lodge gerade erstanden und sind bemüht alles zu erneuern. Ein herzliches Miteinander welches sich auf die Gäste überträgt. Ein herzliches Danke an die Mädels in der Küche, Dodou, Mohamad, Aaligi und natürlich Jane.
- Claudia (9/5): - Ei tolles Einod, einfache Ausstattung kombiniert mit absoluter Herzlichkeit.
Danke an Jane, Agilität, Dodou, Mohamed und die Mädels in der Küche.
- Anja (10/5): Ruhe inmitten authentischer Kultur - Die Mango Lodge war unser Place to be: Ruhe inmitten authentischem Gambia ganz im Gegensatz zu den Haupt-Touri-Spots. Der Strand ist in 10 Minuten fußläufig erreichbar. In der Nähe fahren local Busse und auf einer nahegelegenen Straße werden allerlei einheimische Gerichte auf der Straße verkauft. Das Personal ist super freundlich , wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt. Für diesen Preis unschlagbar, ein absolutes Traveler / Backpacking Domizil ♡ ♡

- Ivonne (9/5): Kleinschalig, relaxed en heerlijke tuin met zwembad en - Gezellige sfeer, kleinschalig en prachtige tuin met zwembad en ligbedden. Het ontbijt was goed, maar mag wat meer variatie hebben.
- Sara (10/5): - L'atmosfera rilassata, lo staff accogliente e semplice nei modi, la piscina, la collocazione Le zanzariere erano rotte, ma sono state riparate.
- Guest (10/5): Totally recommended - The place feels really like an oasis! It's beautiful and confortable and the team is very charming, we felt at home and stayed one more night :)
- Ceesay (10/5): - Almost everything of Mango Lodge very friendly and nice envirom no
ent kind people.
- Gunilla (8/5): -
- Cat (7/5): Good -
- Tim (9/5): Superb - The pool is now clean, so it was great to come back from a hot day in town and plunge into cool water. Wi-Fi still needs improvement, both in bandwidth and coverage.
- Tim (8/5): Very good - My 2nd visit, h there is some improvement to the pool filtration system, but needs more. Still nice place to stay, tranquil environment and nice staff. The cook changed. I was able to teach how to make a better omelette at least.
Wi-Fi is still not working from room and is not great when standing next to router either.
- Gen (10/5): Mango lounge is a very special place, brufut Gambia's - The host was on point if their was to be an issue. It was solved within minutes. Alaji was 10 0ut of 10. The breakfast was tasty after he hired a new young lady and very clean, I came back, and my room was spotless, I'm grateful. Mohumad is a special kind of man. The dirt road
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tim (8/5): Very good - Mango lodge is located near the beach of Ghana Town which is generally quiet and peaceful.
There isa nice open space with pool as you enter.
The room I had was spacious and clean. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. The free breakfast was very nice too. The Wi-Fi did not reach my room, the router is close to the gate, the furthest position away from the rooms, so not very useful if you need access from your room. A simple set of cheap Wi-Fi extenders would solve this issue.
There were a pool looks nice, but didn’t have an operating filtration running, so was not as clean as you might want.
There were a lot of mosquitoes on my first night, and no net had been put up.
I made a requested and a new net was installed.
I had booked a double bed, but ended up with twin beds pushed together. This is not ideal for those who think it might matter.
The location maybe a bit less convenient for those without their own transportation, as it is quite far to other places of interest.
- Charles (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Helpful and friendly staff. Great breakfast to start your day. Peaceful haven. Highly recommended
- Kirsi (8/5): We had a great time - A very friendly athosphere. The bed is comfortable and everything was clean.
Pleasant outdoor areas and very welcoming hosts.
- Vicky (10/5): Little Hidden Oasis of Calm !! - Mango Lodge is a lovely little place just off the Coastal Road to Tanji ..so easy to find. It is a gated lodge so i felt secure at all times as i was traveling alone. The staff were friendly and helpful with local knowledge. I had a delicious breakfast everyday and lunch/dinner available if needed. Its a short walk to local shops and a new supermarket on the junction. There is beach access across the road. The bed was so comfy I slept best in months. With sun loungers and a lovely pool It was a very relaxing week !! I will definitely be returning ☺
- Michel (10/5): Nice and peaceful place - Nice peaceful place, good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Only 5min walk from the mainroad.
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Mohammed was an incredible host. He went above and beyond. Very welcoming 😁. The rooms are nicer than the Senegambia and very clean. The breakfast was delicious. It's an intimate place which I like. Away from the hustle and bustle. Great value for money. Highly recommend Nothing to not like about the place. It was paradise
- Mariatu (2/5): Very poor -

- Ritva (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Erol (9/5): Superb -
- Soraya (8/5): Very good -
- Sarr (9/5): Superb -
- Sharon (7/5): With a lick of paint and a bit of TLC could be fantastic. - staff very friendly and liked that it was off the beaten track. Food was good at a reasonable price. Room a good size and really comfy bed. Very peaceful. Needs a little TLC. Could be fabulous but a little run down. Shower drain hole full of hair.
- Ikram (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent place to stay we were very spolit by all the staff and only a 5min walk from an amazing beach Nothing all was excellent
- Ann (8/5): Hjertelig velkomst og stemning. Noget slidt. - Dejlig Lodge i det mindre turistprægede Gambia. Stedet er lidt slidt, men rent. Især er stemningen, service og imødekommenhed fra personalet i top. Man føler sig modtaget som en del af en afrikansk familie
- Ann (8/5): Berigende ophold. - Dejligt og naturligt sted, med god afrikansk stemning og opmærksom service.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nothing round about the lodge for about five miles so you are isolated no bars,restaurants etc so you have to get taxis or eat and drink on site.
Staff and people in surrounding are very friendly
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was located in the heart of Ghana town surrounded by local people, giving it a charm & personal experience. The staff were amazing so friendly and attentive. Anything could be arranged for you like trips & transportation nothing too much trouble. Food was to a good standard given the limited resources available. Only frustrating thing was the lack of water, showers to be taken in the mornings.,Electricity also intermittent, lightning in room not bright but not a major issue.
- Kate (10/5): - I had a great stay with Helen, Sarjo, and Abrima at the Mango Lodge... it was a great base for birding! The food was great, and Abrima was so kind to get up early to make me breakfast so I could be out on the road by 7am for my fabulous birding adventures. I had the best time birding with local birding guide Kebba Sosseh!!! Can't wait to return :D
