I'm surprised by some of the negative comments as I always have a great holiday here.Breakfast was a big surprise - as well as tasty cheese and pancakes, cereal, fruit juice and hot drinks, smoked salmon was also on the menu every other day!! Got a great welcome back from the staff. Nothing... More

This was my first time at Sarges hotel. Yes I read the reports but decided that due to its location I would take a chance that most negative reports seem to be written by people who paid 2* money and expected 5* luxury. I had guessed correctly! This is Africa! I have just returned from 2 weeks in this Hotel... More

Having just spent 2 weeks at Sarges I have no complaints. A basic hotel ideally situated. Rooms more than adequate. Hot water twice a day though times of this need adjusting to suit individually needs ie. timing which can be altered by asking any of staff at hand all of which are most helpful. Breakfast same as most 2/3 star... More

In all honesty, I'm not fussy and have stayed in rough hotels, but the prev. reviewer is right; I was bitten by mozzies, fleas... More

Very seedy,dirty,bed bug ridden,coach roach infested accommodation in what is a beautiful country. Food even worse But staff were friendly and trying their best to provide some sort... More

We were forced to stay in this hotel for one night by Cosmos, as our plane was delayed for 18 hours. I could not believe that a holiday company would put their customers in such an awlful hotel, with staff who were nothing but unhelpful. As we opened the door to our room, we were hit by an overwhelming smell... More

We have just returned from the Gambia and we stayed at the Sarges hotel. The hotel itself is very very basic. The hotel was shabby and in need of a face lift. On arrival it looked very dusty however when I complained they sent a cleaner around to reclean the room, immediately, what I didn't know was that they had... More
