I stayed at Devon Lodge for 2 weeks in March 2012. I cannot praise these apartments enough. I am regularly in Gambia and have stayed in a variety of places. Devon lodge is by far the best. The apartments are close enough to walk to the Senegambia strip in a few minutes but far enough away that the noise (usually... More

We came to Devon Lodge for sun and peace & quiet. We got both. Our flat was nice and shady, as the African sun can be blazingly hot, so that was lovely. And it was also peaceful, an oasis of beautiful tranquility after being out in the hussle and bustle of the African interplay in town. It was a pleasant... More

We had a very pleasant relaxing stay at Devon lodge. Cleanliness, comfort, clean linen & clean towels was excellent. Patricia and Sulayman were both very helpfull and nice people. This was our 1st time in The Gambia and they were both very obliging in finding things out for us that we inquired about. The locals who live in the area... More

We stayed at Devon Lodge for one week at the beginning of December and was our first time to the Gambia and can highly recommend. We stayed a further week up at Brufut and this was nowhere near as lovely as Devon Lodge. The apartment is set down a quiet street and is very peaceful. The apartment was kept lovely... More

We had a fantastic weeks stay at Devon lodge and are looking forward to spending 3 weeks at Christmas there. The apartments are kept very clean with fresh towels and linen replaced often. The location is very peaceful, set in beautiful, well kept gardens and Senegambia beach is just a short walk away. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful... More

Booked the devon guest house after looking for accomodation online. Patricia and sulyman the owners could not have been more helpful. I booked for 3 weeks and when I arrived was pleased I had booked it. The apartments are cleaned by a maid with clean sheets and towels. The apartments are very peaceful and are quite close ( a short... More

We stumbled across this gem when using trip advisor to decide which hotel to stay at whilst in the Gambia. As it was we couldn't have asked for anything better. Sulayman and Patricia our hosts gave us a great welcome and were very helpful. This was our first visit to the Gambia and we were picked up from the airport... More

We love Gambia and have stayed in 6 different hotels / apartments in our 6 previous holidays in Gambia, including Kombo Beach, Ocean Bay, and Senegambia Hotel. I can honestly say that Devon Lodge is one of the better ones. We had our own idea where Devon Lodge was, but were a bit suprised how 'far' back it was from... More

Spot on location, walking distance to Senegambia strip and 10 mins walk from Kololi beach. Patricia is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Apartments are kept spotlessly clean and have proper beds (not African foam!). Bedding and towels of good quality provided and changed regularly. Apartment is definitely comfy and perfectly adequate but I wouldn't consider it 'luxury'. Being at the front... More

We take on board the comments regarding the generator. It is actually very rare for the electricity to be cut between midnight and 7am, since this is the time of low usage generally, but it does happen sometimes and did happen several times during January this year. Possibly maintenance work? The happiness and comfort of our guests is very important... More
