Vacation rentals in Barra

Koko guesthouse is absolutely fantastic! Sam is a great host with a wide knowledge of things to do in the local area & beyond. Had the privilege to try lots of delicious local cuisine. Beach, shops and bars are all within reach via walking or short drive. Thanks Sam for being a wonderful and friendly host, made my time in Gambia truly memorable. 10/10 🇬🇲♥️🙏🏼🇬🇲♥️🙏🏼

My stay at Room 27 was great! The location was just right for going to the nearby restaurants, the monkey park and the various beaches. It was quiet and peaceful at night and the bed was very comfortable. Hot water was available for showers and there is an option to get a good, full breakfast with juice and coffee for a small fee. Amadou was able to pick me up at the airport and take me back a few days later at very late hours so I didn't have to try to figure out other means of transportation. He was also available to drive me to and from the local beaches which I really appreciated. Very nice stay and very nice people. I definitely recommend staying here. As a woman traveling alone I felt very safe.

Adi's team and assistants were very nice and ready to help even when Adi is not available. The best part is the quiet of the environment.

Ruby and Eddie were incredibly helpful with everything we needed during our stay. The apartment was absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view of the ocean. The pool was large and lovely, also overlooking the sea, with charming hemp parasols that created such a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Honestly, the pictures don’t do justice to how wonderful the area truly is—it’s even better in person! The apartment was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, and then some. We also had a delightful woman who came to clean every second or third day. She changed the sheets and washed the towels, making sure everything was always fresh and spotless. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place. It exceeded all our expectations!

I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Awa's family compound. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. The market was in walking distance to buy food to cook. This spacious and beautifully decorated apartment had all of the essentials for our weeklong stay, plus nice touches such as plenty of mirrors. Also super easy getting transportation from the main road. Will definitely stay again!

Dennis is a really kind person. Always listening to what we need and helping for everything if needed. I really recommend, his place is very nice and we feel like home. I just kept on extending my stay since I was so comfortable there. 10min to Senegambia so very well located. I will be back again for sure. Thanks for everything.

Fatou is a caring host, even getting up at 6am to check that our tour guide for the day seemed reliable. Her place was very clean, with great coffee, a nice courtyard and a fridge and fan in the room. The shower could have been a bit warmer but the room was good value for money. Fatou and her driver collected us from the bus station and she also offered to make other arrangements for us. It was easy to take a tuktuk or taxi from the end of Fatou's street to the big hotels and restaurants, or to walk during daylight hours. Overall, Fatou's place is a good base in Serrekunda, with a small shop and money exchange next door, and we enjoyed our stay.

This was a wonderful stay. The room was amazing. The doors opened up onto the beach so you really hear the ocean and see it from your bed. Lots of space in the room and lovely hot shower. Kembas the hosy was exeptional. He went above and beyond his duties. He organised all my trips and escorted me, along with his lovely taxi driver Osman. His team are spectacular. Always making sure you are ok. They even built me a camp fire in the evening which was lovely. It is a bit breezy in the evning being so close to the coast so bring something warm with you. I felt totally safe and cared for as a solo traveller. These guys are really lovely. Kembas has such a good heart and he is so funny and entertaing too. You will love it.
