AbCa's Creek Lodge

“If you want peace and greenery, this is your place.”

The property’s secluded location in lush nature provides a very peaceful environment, which I liked. However, the food is quite pricey and the accommodation is far too expensive for what’s offered; the food itself was average. Keep in mind there’s no nearby shop for water or snacks, so you’re stuck with their prices.

The facility is well maintained, but checking out at 10:30 am is too early, especially after a late check‑in. There was no electricity for hours, and the staff were not really willing to turn on the generator when NAWEC electricity provision went off.

“entspannter Wochenendtrip, freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Essen”

I was there during the off‑season and expected reduced service, but the staff was plentiful and very friendly. I liked the flexibility the manager mentioned. The Wi‑Fi didn’t work outside the reception for the whole stay, but they offered me a courtesy late check‑out until 17:00. The staff even helped me top up my mobile data using their private Mobile Money account. The food was excellent and comparatively inexpensive. The downsides were longer power outages, a somewhat worn‑out bathroom interior, and the very noisy walls in the River‑Block.

“Beautiful place, expensive for what it is.”

AbCa’s lodge is beautiful, a well‑crafted property with many lovely touches that blend comfort, aesthetics, and nature. This was our second visit, and while it’s still gorgeous, more improvements have been made and are underway. We had an issue when a big storm caused water to enter our room; the team resolved it quickly and made sure we were fine the next day. My partner can’t tolerate spicy food, so they prepared a special meal for him so he could enjoy it without getting sick. The lady who cooks the eggs in the morning is great—happy, cheerful, and full of energy, making breakfast a lot of fun! The price is high for what you get; we paid about £80 a night and had no hot water, with the shower pressure so low it was just a trickle. You’re paying for beautiful grounds, but hot water for a shower should be included at that price. We were there in the off‑season, so it was quiet, which meant we had to schedule food at set times. This wasn’t a problem for us, but when my partner ordered dinner for 9 pm, we were told we had to come at 8:30 instead. It’s only 30 minutes, so we ignored it. Later, we were told that although the buffet breakfast ran from 7–10 am, it would be better if we came at 8 am since another group of guests were arriving then. We don’t like eating early, so we said no and would come later, and the staff seemed annoyed. I think they wanted to finish early and we were stopping that. We also don’t eat lunch, but there was an underlying sense that we had to eat because it’s profit‑making. For me it feels as though the staff are trained to push food and tours, which is normal for any place, but it can be done without making guests feel they must eat if they don’t want to.

“Abcas Creek Lodge, Gambia, Pintang”

The hotel’s surroundings are cozy and beautiful, breakfast is good, and the staff are friendly. However, for several hours the hotel had no power or internet, it was dark and there was no backup system or generator. When asked, we were given a solar lamp for our room. In such a remote location, that’s unacceptable! Guests are left to their own devices without explanations or help. In a place like this, you can’t do anything in the dark. The mosquito nets on the beds were too small and didn’t cover the leak! The overall cost is too high and offers no value for money.
