RoofTop is truly a gem! Before booking I had read several reviews praising this place which lead to high expectations - and I was not disappointed.
From the stunning rooms to the tentative and professional staff, this is a must-stay when in Gambia. Or might I say it's worth booking a trip just to see this small and exclusive paradise.
The owner Urban makes you feel like you have come home, a very serene feeling that many of us need!

Awesome property! Beautiful grounds. Staff is excellent, courteous and helpful. Onsite owners are a breath of fresh air. Food is high quality and delicious. Have stayed 2 years in a row and will return. The rooms are large and accommodating with private balcony overlooking the gorgeous pool and striking green scenery. I found nothing I wanted or needed that wasn’t there. Outstanding!

Quite a nice place for the price. Big room with a balcony, good restaurant, minutes from the beach. Different types of outlets in the room so you don’t need a converter. Male staff members trying to chat you up are very annoying, so maybe not the most ideal for solo female travelers.

I’ve traveled to many countries and The Gambia has surprised me. I love the property, the culture, the people. If I want for business I’d stay for at least a month

This was for a business meeting that was held at the hotel for 2 days. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use a lot of the facilities because of the work. I am a runner, so managed to run in the mornings before work. One run I did along the beach. The beach in front of the hotel is highly eroded, so at high tide, you have to trudge through soft sand until you get a few hundred meters away, where the beach is not eroded. The other run was along the Senegambia highway. This is a very busy road, but at...

The best areas to stay in Yundum are primarily along the coastal strip, particularly around Kololi and Brufut, which offer the most developed tourist infrastructure.
Kololi is the most popular choice for travelers seeking convenience and a variety of amenities. It's home to the "Senegambia Strip," a bustling area with numerous restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. You'll find a range of accommodation here, from larger resorts to boutique hotels, all within easy walking distance of the beach. This area is great for couples who enjoy having dining and entertainment choices readily available.
Brufut offers a more secluded and tranquil experience, appealing to those looking for a quieter beach holiday. While it has fewer immediate amenities than Kololi, its pristine beaches and more expansive resort properties provide a relaxed setting. Travelers looking for a peaceful retreat, perhaps solo travelers wanting to unwind, will appreciate the calm of Brufut.
When is the best time to go to Yundum?

This is ideal for travelers looking to enjoy the beaches and local markets without the interruption of rain.
Couples seeking a relaxed and warm escape will find these months particularly appealing. The clear skies and gentle breezes create a pleasant setting for beach strolls along the nearby coast, enjoying sunsets, or dining al fresco.
