Guest Reviews:

- "What a great find, boutique really sums it up, only a few rooms, feels vey unique and special, the owner meets and greets and very quickly all the staff get to know you, and make an effort to as well - whether laying your normal place for breakfast through to knowing your preferred drinks. There is a trust bar and Saney even went and got my fav soft drink from the store for me. Saney is a real gem, as an owner he really cares about his staff, personal development and making Gambia a better place, I loved chatting to him and getting his views. Plus don’t forget this is a true Ecco hotel, everything is self sustained. Room always cleaned to a high standard, I house menu for lunch and dinner is all freshly cooked with two great chefs, Rob the day time chef does a great red spiced sauce. Pool area clean and the Wi-Fi is ok - I know Saney discussed hoping to upgrade to fibre when it’s ready. So nothing put praise, small, friendly and value for money."

- "Spectacular in every category. The staff is amazing. The breakfast is delicious. The grounds are gorgeous. The rooms are comfortable. I didn’t want to leave." - "Amazing hotel in a excellent location (close to Senegambia strip, but separated from the touristy madness). The owner himself designed everything, from concrete to curtains, and takes special care of the guests personally (he even upgraded our room because of some mixup with the airport taxi). The style and design of the room and the whole hotel transported us back in time, however the facilities (kitchen, bathroom) were very modern and up-to-date. All the staff were very kind and helpful. 100% recommended!"

- "Excellent staff, very beautiful location!" - "Amazing view, very accommodating and helpful staff, there were a number of breakfast options and it was a treat sitting on the terrace watching the ocean" - "Management and staff were accommodating and exceptional!" - "Location in front of the sea. Nice and friendly staff." - "Their food was amazing. I enjoyed every meal I had from breakfast to dinner." - "Stayed at Majula for 7 days a lone traveller looking for peace and tranquility, and that's exactly what I got. A small, pleasant and friendly hotel, staff always smiling, polite and very helpful without being intrusive. A lovely pool and terrace area. Small friendly local run cafe's , bars and restaurants all no more than 20 minutes walk. Bakau and Cape point are less than a £4 taxi ride. Same for Fajara craft market and busy  beach areass if too hot to walk. If you want loud music, activities, water sports, karaoke and half price shots, this is not for you, if you want to enjoy the sunshine and local people then go home fully recharged and rested,  I highly recommend the Majula Boutique hotel."
