We stayed in the middle of january 2012 for 7 days. Outstanding place!! Lovely rooms, beautiful garden with pool and great (homecooked) food. In the middle of a village. If you want to connect with the local people, then this is the right place for you. If you are after a fancy enviroment around the corner (beach promenade, discos, gift... More

Hibuiscus House is everything you could want in a hotel and more. We were collected from the airport and although we did feel a little anxious as it was our first time in The Gambia we soon put all our fears to rest when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel rooms are well spaced amongst the very mature gardens,... More

We stayed at Hibiscus House for two nights at the end of our holiday in The Gambia. We had previously been up the river for 3 nights and on the the beach near Kartong for 3 nights. Both simple but fabulously located places. Hibiscus was the opposite. Hibiscus House is a brilliant little oasis but not in a great location.... More

We spent 10 days at Hibiscus House between 21st - 31st December. It was our first trip to The Gambia and it certainly didn't disappoint. Hibiscus House is a hidden oasis in the middle of Brufut village. You really do get the best of both worlds, luxury accomodation and excellent service combined with the opportunity to embrace the local way... More

Having never been to Gambia before I feel we picked the perfect location to stay, far enough away from the main resort areas but right in the heart of the real 'Africa' The Hibiscus House staff make you feel very special and the hotel it's self first class in every aspect, clean, spacious, and the food first class. We were... More

Hibiscus House is a delightful family-run hotel amid the rutted back-roads of Brufut. It is definitely a bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Behind the nondescript compound walls is a green oasis, with charming rooms set round a small pool. The owner and her staff cannot do enough for you; this was my first visit to... More

After great stays in 2 other places on our trip to The Gambia the Hibiscus was awful. It is pretentious without the resources to be so. The website looks good the outside bar closed, the jacuzzi not available, menu looks good when items available. It was the 5th morning before all 4 of us got the complete meal we ordered.... More
