We have recently returned home from a 10 night stay at Hibiscus House. It was our second visit. We enjoyed it so much the first time we just had to go back.
So glad we did. We had a lovely relaxing time with perfect weather.
As always Sarah and the team looked after us very well. The room was perfect and we had a pool just outside. As there are two pools we had virtually exclusive use of ours for the whole stay.
For us, this is the perfect place to stay in The Gambia. It is very comfortable with lovely food cooked by excellent local chefs. The setting feels natural with lots of birdlife. All this is set amongst a true African village.

Well looked after and very relaxed.

What a hidden gem. Large trees surround the pools where the bird life is amazing.  Rooms were clean and large.  Staff were lovely and helpful. There was a band one night in the week who were very good. The food was excellent and local cuisine.  We would definitely recommend.

A hidden gem

Quite simply, we just loved it. Relax
ed and such a friendly ambience, great staff and food
 Sarah is attentive to your needs and wants and easily advised and arranged really interesting activities for us.
It was a fabulous start to a nearly 3 weeks stay in Hidden Gambia.
We will definitely return.

Great stay

Great place with great service. Nice rooms, nice pool and the best chicken sandwich. We were around 20 guests staying here at the same time. Attending a wedding and enjoying vacation together. Thank you

Thumbs up!!

I stayed at Hibiscus House(HH) for 6 days while on business in the area.  My 21 year old daughter was with me and stayed at the hotel during the days, studying for her nursing boards.  HH was the best of the places we stayed:
Pros:  STAFF!! Lamin, Cora, and the day and night cooks.  All the staff were great.  Compared to 2 other hotels, the staff at HH were the most respectful - we later found that staff in other resorts/hotels would not leave my daughter alone, making her feel very uncomfortable. The food is better than any of the beachfront restaurants - it was the best we had during our 10 day stay in various parts of Gambia.  Fish Yassa and Sticky lime/chili Chicken were our favorites.  A great mix of Gambian/European cuisine, always super fresh salads and fruit.  The cook would make anything we asked for for dinner, as long as he had the ingredients.  I can't say enough about the quality and variety (even though it was off-season and we were the only guests).  The grounds are absolutely beautiful, well kept, and clean.  Joe (shepherd/gambian mix, hotel dog) was also the best!
Con: The roads leading into the the hotel area are completely dug up.  Some drivers had trouble getting through and it made it difficult to walk to the beach or main road.

Excellent stay at Hibiscus House

Hibiscus House was a beautiful oasis in Gambia after travelling. We booked 2 nights then 2 more then 2 more we had to tear ourselves away. The staff were amazing and attentive without being in the slightest bit overbearing. Very helpful with advice on travelling on local buses, shared taxis which we followed successfully. Our room was welcoming and very comfortable. The gardens are well maintained and the pool delightful. The food is fabulous & you can select African dishes if you wish - I would recommend these they were delicious! Whilst we were there it had attracted a eclectic mix of guests who were wonderful to meet & share experiences. Sarah the owner’s pride in her staff and wanting guests to have the best experience of The Gambia & her accommodation was evident. We have been fortunate to stay in many different places on our travels over the years- Hibiscus House is special!

Hibiscus House is somewhere special!

Hibiscus House makes you welcome and at home from the very outset. The staff are attentive, friendly and lend a strong community ambience. The facilities are comfortable, functional and there is plenty of space to spread out and relax. The food quality is very good with excellent local fish always prepared. Hibiscus House is ideally located within easy reach of both beach and town sights. We enjoyed an excellent day trip with a gentle boat tour of river wetlands, mangrove and a secluded beach. We thoroughly recommend this fine lodge stay. 

Perfect relaxation in a welcoming setting.

We went for dinner and the food was incredible. I have tried local food but this was great quality. The staff (Lamin) were so friendly, attentive and relaxed. The atmosphere was perfect and they had a great chill band on Thursday who filled the air with a mix of music and covers.

All in all brilliant.

Super friendly, relaxed and no need for the beach nearby! 

Just what we needed

A truly wonderful week at Hibiscus House, nestled in amongst the safe and happy coastal town of Brufut. Hibiscus Hotel is a little haven, an oasis of pools, gardens, flowers and exotic birds - a perfect base for enjoying a taste of Gambia. The authentic styled rooms are spacious and well positioned around the grounds with comfortable beds and good hot showers. 

Sarah and her charming team could not have been more welcoming. They all made us feel totally relaxed and a real part of their little haven. Sarah is happy to arrange a variety of trips with her own super friendly, knowledgeable guide and driver. The Kartong river trip was a highlight, crocodiles along the shoreline, pelicans, fish eagles and many other birds to be seen! A truly Gambian experience. 

Each meal is freshly prepared for you and delicious and whilst we understand that there are a variety of good local restaurants, we chose to eat in at Hibiscus every evening and loved every one of their ‘Specials’.  There is also a well stocked bar which is a lovely place to relax at any time!  

We enjoyed the 20 minute walk to the wonderful beach where juice bars and beach cafes await you, but also loved strolling through the neighbourhood of Brufut and always felt safe and welcome - never hassled. 

If you are looking for a real taste of African charm then look no further - you've found it! Thank you all for a very special week.

We loved it!

Had a wonderful stay here at short notice. A great welcome, from the staff and the host Sarah, who could not have done more to greet us. Intimate, quirky, off the beaten track but a delightful oasis in the middle of town. So quiet and discreet with a great bar and great food. Lovely rooms, a bit of old fashioned vibe but so comfortable. If you are looking for a young people vibe and nightlife, this is not for you but if you're looking for a bit of sophisticated and discreet laid back accomodation, this is the place.
