"Save yourself the trouble—this property lacks professionalism, comfort, and basic upkeep.
The location was another letdown. While advertised as convenient, being directly opposite Keir Srynge Market meant struggling to locate the property every time I went out and tried to return.The area felt unsafe after dark, with limited lighting and no clear pedestrian pathways.
I would never recommend Sweet Mama Residence to anyone. "

"This is a true gem. The owners were wonderful. They called to check on me and even surprised me with dinner a couple nights (which was amazing). The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked well. I will surely stay there again. The WiFi signal was the best I have ever experienced in The Gambia. I highly recommend it. They told me they are opening a restaurant in December which will be great. "

"Beautiful tropical beach resort. Good restaurants and beach bar as well. The rooms in H block are especially nice- new with excellent air conditioning!"
"Cleaning crew was pleasant. Grounds keepers kept the property nice. The Food was Great. The placement of the Hotel on the Strip was Perfect. The Pool was Lovely. Seen some Monkey's. And Different plants Flowers Insects. Love nature. The Beach was Beach was Beautiful. Check out the Pictures."
"Everything is in house meaning if you are looking to walk to a local store, this is probably not the place for you. It has a restaurant, pool,gym and beach all inside the compound but no local stores insight."
"The staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was healthy with all of the food that I was used to. Cleaners came to my room every morning to ask about cleaning my room and to help with washing my dirty clothes for a few pounds.
The beach is about five minutes walk from the property and the beach is very clean. The resort pool is very clean and well spaced out, with children pool on one side and the adults on the other side separated by a bridge that leads to the bar. The way the huts are laid out was great it allows for privacy with two bamboo chairs and a table in front of the hut, incase you want to watch the sun go down. Great place, I loved it."
"Amazing Staff from The Front Desk to the Housekeeping Team and every Hotel Employee i had met they were so friendly and made sure I had a very relaxing vacation. The Pool area was so clean, and the hotel room bed was very comfortable.
The Manager is present and very approachable. Thankyou to everyone for the lovely vacation stay."
"I will definitely come back! The staff are so caring, helpful and kind. They go out of their ways to be sure you have everything you need, whether that’s in your room, poolside, by the beach or in a restaurant.
I had a club villa, with a beautiful terrace with two large sofas, a table and chairs. My room was so big and each evening, during turn down service, they closed my mosquito nets (although thankfully there weren’t any mosquitos!). I came to stay here as I knew they had Thai chefs, from when I’d come here for dinner in a previous visit. So the Thai food was fabulous, but so were the breakfasts. The eggs shakshushka were probably the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. I even asked the chef how to make them!
There are plenty of pool options and they were always quiet, with the sound of the waves breaking in the background. Poolside cocktails tasted fabulous and they even have my favourite, banana daiquiri.
The hotel does feel a little dated, but it’s still fabulous and I loved my stay.
I was disappointed by the spa, they always cut treatments way short of the amount of time I’d paid for and other guests noticed the same thing. They seemed disorganised and left the changing rooms messy. However, it’s nice to have well priced massages in site."
