    Perfect base for visiting the stone circle archaeological sites inland. Very good price for the rooms, clean, and a comfortable, although slightly firm, bed. The aircon worked all night, which is a necessity for a good night sleep in the local hot...

Hi I am Yus , I am a Gambian living in the U.K. I travel to Gambia a lot to visit family and Ofcourse love spending time there. When I back in the U.K. the guesthouse is run perfectly by my brother Papa , who is the manager . We love welcoming people to our family run guesthouse! We welcome guests with open arms and help them settle into life in Farafenni. We are fro the town so very knowledgable about the local area. Above all we are friendly, approachable, helpful and fun! We can help you explore the area , venture into town and even help with shopping if needed! We love to show people Farafenni and Gambia so can organise trips if required.
The Guesthouse is situated in the community but in a quiet location. So you would have plenty of opportunities to learn about the African way of living and if you wish mingle with the locals and learn about the culture .
