Facilities are dusty, run-down and old.
Cracks on wall and dust on furnitures.
Toilet flush button was not working so I had to remove the tank cover to flush.
Hot water is OK.
Room wifi was broken for all 3 days I stayed so I have to go to poolside to use Internet.
Wifi not fixed promptly after breakdown.
Breakfast is basic (egg, bread,baked bean,canned mushroom, oak, orange juice, coffee/tea, banana
, papaya…)and supposed to be available from 7am but only ready from around 7:45-8am.

You have to flee this hotel. The room and the bathroom are not worthy of a hotel. The room is not cleaned between two nights and you are given one towel for two. It is dirty and no convenience as in the description. The breakfast is disgusting with no choice, no juice, no fruit. The chairs by the pool are traps to twist your neck.

10 day stay 9th March Having gone to the Gambia for the last 20 years we thought we had seen everything and read everything there is to know about Gambia. We have stayed at the Kombo for the last six visits until the renovations so this time we went to the Badala Hotel. We looked at the reviews which wasn’t the best to say the least. First impression Rooms defiantly in need of renovation settled for 3rd room shown. Beds were clean which was a must for us. Rooms were cleaned every day, clean towels every day. Grounds. Again, in need of a tidy. Staff. I have to say the staff was very helpful, breakfast staff was very good and tried their best. Pool The pool wasn’t the best but did the job. Food. Can only comment on food we had. Reviews about only 1 egg for breakfast was wrong, we had, scrambled egg or fried egg with mushroom, baked beans and sausage with toast. Which was very good. Evening meal was steak with pepper sauce and chips again very good. The hotel was quiet and relaxing and the result was we had a lovely stay and would have no hesitation in booking again. A big thank you to abdoulie and his team, Rose &Paul.
