This lodge is located at a most beautiful, quite beach. If you're looking for a quite place without all those "Bumsters", you're just right here. The room was really nice and perfectly clean - we had a round hut en suite - with lots of space and such a comfortable bead - great to stay a whole week!!! Really nice... More

Great position on a fantastic empty beach; the staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was excellent and varied - the only downside was a breakfast that was a little lacking - fruit (normally just papaya) - french bread (very good) with jam etc. and coffee - they really could have made a bit more of an effort....

This is a wonderful place to visit for a few days. Dave (a scotsman) and his son Rory are the owners. They are lovely, genuine people who are friendly without being overbearing. Boboi is an eco lodge of sorts whose owners aim to minimize their impact on the environment - this means electricity and water are not plentiful. Once you... More

I've been to Boboi twice and I love it! If you want a simple place off the beaten track and away from touristy package holiday Benidorm style Gambia then this place is for you! It's basic and simple (eg plastic chairs and tables) with typical African food on offer (fish / chicken and rice in various sauces.) The rooms are... More

We stayed here for 3 nights over Christmas December 2011. The location is brilliant, a few steps and you can move from the accommodation to the beach. The beach is great with sun huts and a little beach bar. The beach is also really quiet and we saw very few other people using the bay at all. The staff too... More

This is our third time to Boboi - the first with a teenage daughter. In the past my husband and I have travelled to the lodge alone. We love Boboi - it sits straight on the beach. The sunsets are glorious. the walk to Kartong along the beach or the road is not too far, but strenuous enough to allow... More

Firstly this lodge is not in Kololi...it is near Kartong . The lodge is a collection of huts set in the grounds with a central bar/restaurant. I stayed in a hut with seperate bathroom, for a lower price you can opt to use the communal showers, and for a lower price still they have treehouses and camping facilities. It is... More

We stayed here in December/January 2010/2011. We had our first week there and stayed in the only room with glass windows. (I'm scared of spiders!) the rooms are basic, no or little hot water and no electricity. This is a back to nature place which allows you to live like the locals. Take a torch, insect repellant and all the... More
