Badala Park Hotel

Facilities are dusty, run-down and old. Cracks on wall and dust on furnitures. Toilet flush button was not working so I had to remove the tank cover to flush. Hot water is OK. Room wifi was broken for all 3 days I stayed so I have to go to poolside to use Internet. Wifi not fixed promptly after breakdown. Breakfast is basic (egg, bread,baked bean,canned mushroom, oak, orange juice, coffee/tea, banana , papaya…)and supposed to be available from 7am but only ready from around 7:45-8am.

The hotel is normal not luxury enough, but the location is in the center. The room is too large can live 4 people, recommend to stay

I stay at this hotel for 2 weeks This hotel should not be on any travel agent list for people to visit on holiday The breakfast was horrendous fit for pigs The rooms were not very nice the furniture was dated the bathrooms Smelled like a sewer I had to be moved 4 times because of this the tv did not work for the whole time I was there The pool was dirty there cats running around in the corridor the electric kept cutting out every day the shower also cut out with electric it was a horrendous stay at this hotel avoid it like the plague

Just returned back this Weds from a 2 week stay. Worse place i have ever stayed in. On our first night changed rooms 3 times. First room was told it was a De Luxe room, mould on the walls, tv didn't work, after complaining, was moved to a room a few doors down.(2nd room). Went to get showered at around 11.30pm, streams of dirty water came up from the bathroom drain and covered the entire bathroom floor and came gushing into the bedroom. Had to quickly stop the flow by putting the hotel towels down to stem the flow. I immediately complained and was moved to our 3rd room. The tv didn't work as were the tv's in the 2 previous rooms. The mirror on the dresser had a deep crack across it. It was a complete disaster, electric constantly going of, sometimes there was no water from the shower or hand wash basin, the breakfast was abysmal, half a banana, hard bread, sausages cut up in small pieces. Certainly no choices of breakfast menu. After discovering this, I never touched the breakfast, bees in the hallway entrances, cats everywhere. We never unpacked our clothes from the suitcase. The wardrobe had mould in it, my partners coat had white fur (mould) on the sleeves. The fridge which of course came with a cost was so dirty, I had to ask a staff member to clean it. By the way I had made up my mind from the offset that I wouldn't be paying for it. There were always people wondering around, mainly young men, so difficult to decipher who were workers and who weren't. Countless excuses of why the tv's weren't working, from the tv operating from a different system, to calling out the technician and waiting for him to come, to waiting for a part to arrive from England. This place is nothing short of a knocking shop. Enter at your peril.

This Hotel is the worst hotel i have stayed in, the TV wasn't working, i was promised on several occasions it would be fixed, we was told we was in a delux room which was a joke, the floor tiles in the bathroom were very slippy, i asked on many occasions for a shower mat i never got one. This Hotel needs a good revamp. If your someone who likes the swimming pool, there is a chance it maybe full with children, they tend to use it at a cost. The only good thing about this Hotel is the staff are friendly and the bar was cheap compared to other places.

This hotel should be avoided I do not know how UK Tour operators are offering this hotel, they clearly haven’t inspected it, the rooms terrible not been updated for years mine was dangerous with glass shower screen totally unsafe, no management, no information apart from saying breakfast 7 till 10 & on going down for breakfast st 7.20 breakfast no breakfast setup, this happened on 3 days despite being promised by owner would sorted! Having to go out for day with no breakfast! You have no idea who anyone is, no uniforms or badges just young Gambian men, who are they, what are their jobs, do they work there? On leaving hotel one morning we were accosted by one of these men saying we owed money for food we had following us down the road & shouting & demanding we came back to pay, totally embarrassing & wrong as we never had any food! We did have a brilliant holiday in Gambia photographing the birds, just don’t stay in this hotel

The hotel has many good facilities, but guests are not informed. Consequently, I had to go out and obtain most of the things or facilities that were easily available and accessible to guests. Additionally, there should be a clear explanation of the room facilities on the booking page for guests' convenience. The cleaners are doing a great job. They take good care of the room, and the gate security was very vigilant. The receptionists are also friendly.
