I had a great time, the room very spacious and very quiet. Everyone there is working hard they cleaning, painting, working on the garden just beautifying the place. They are all very friendly like they have known me forever. I felt right at home. I definitely recommend this amazing lodge to anyone visiting Banjul.
Negative:
There weather was hot I couldn’t walk anywhere
Summary: It was a wonderful stay.

From the very first moment, I received such a warm and genuine welcome. I immediately felt comfortable and at home here. I stayed for 11 days, and I truly enjoyed every single moment.
The guesthouse has a lovely atmosphere and a lot of charm. You can also see that the team is continuously working on improving and renovating the place, step by step, which makes it exciting to see how everything keeps getting better.
The location is fantastic — close to the beach and within easy reach of lovely restaurants. The swimming pool is absolutely wonderful and very well maintained, making it the perfect place to relax.
But what really makes this place special is the people. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and genuinely interested in their guests. There is always time for a chat, a smile and a little personal attention.
And a special mention to Tom, the owner. He is fantastic! I really appreciated seeing how warmly and respectfully he treats his staff. You can feel that there is a great atmosphere within the team, and that makes a big difference.
I had such a lovely and relaxing stay and genuinely enjoyed my time here. Thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome!
I will definitely be coming back

Mr Omah, the young manager is excellent and can't.help you enough. Nothing is too much trouble. We loved our little chats in the morning. Tui lost mu wife's case and he rang the airport everyday until it was returned, he's an Angel.
The whole staff team.are very friendly, they have huge heart and big smiles.
Breakfast is basic but the bread is to die for, so soft and fresh
A personal thank you to Omar and his lovely staff.
Negative:
There was a bit of refurbishment going on so the bar and restaurant was closed. I'm sure it's going to look great when it's finished.
The dirt roads around the area are very dark at night take a good torch.
Summary: Great time

Roc heights is a lovely guesthouse located in a very quiet and tranquil neighbourhood not far from the beach, local markets and other amenities. I was really struggling to find a small hotel/ guesthouse around Banjul as the big hotels aren't really for me so I was really happy to come across Roc Heights. Enormous, spotless, very comfortable rooms. Beautiful guesthouse and gardens and good value for money. Staff are lovely and very helpful!
Negative:
The breakfast could be improved with some fruit/ a bit more variety.
Summary: Lovely guesthouse in a very tranquil neighbourhood
