I just come back from my holiday in |Nemasu. Good for a short stay. Very basic but its ok. Beautiful beach , which should remain unspoilt. Unfortunately there is plenty of rubbish. Food is excellent cooked from the scratch, always fresh and very tasty. Staff very friendly. In my review I want to show my gratitude and respect to people , who made it possible. People behind the closed doors, a couple from the USA, who changed the lives of many Gambians. Frankly speaking I am very moved and touched by the act of your generosity . What a beautiful gesture to another human being. You made a significant changes in their lives. And you made it possible for us Europeans to enjoy the serenity of African nature.And it is a real beauty , the beauty of human heart,cannot be seen by our senses ,can only be felt by the heart. Thank you again and God bless you.

I have just arrived back from an amazing stay in The Gambia at Nemasu.This Lodge is spectacular,a really special place.I have so many great things to say about Nemasu,the wonderful,exceptionally helpful and friendly staff and beautify traditional very private room/ lodge.The views from my lodge and the rest of ground were phenomenal.Beautiful blue skys and water/sea all around.The private beach is secluded, quiet and clean.The beach bar is great, very handy for lazy/ relaxing days.Great service from all the bar and the beautiful traditional resturant too.The food and drinks at Nemasu is excellent.I have eaten from chefs all around the world and l can say the food at Nemasu is the best l have ever had in my life.I have many dietary food and drink restrictions for health reasons. Nemasu were great, the chef cooked my meals separately from other guests/customers many times and the great, healthy,diverse menu of foods and drinks/teas allowed me to eat and drink all holiday without any health issues,which is a first for me!.The few times/days l did feel ill, the staff were so helpful and made me teas,checked on me and gave me local remedies to help.I was so grateful and touched by this as l was travelling alone and down to the owner (Hillary),the manager(Seedy), the great massage therapist (Isha) and all the other great,excellent staff at Nemasu,always did so much to make me feel/get better.It was paradise, l thank Nemusu for a holiday of a lifetime and look forward to returning.

Incredible place to relax
I traveled alone looking for some time to relax and introspection, by chance I found Nemasu ecolodge, nobody adviced me to go, never heard about but it turned out to be the perfect place. Peaceful, quite, veeeery nice staff, impressive food, beach, nature, different activities to do, and everything for a fair price. I have been thinking unsuccesfully in something they could improve, there is nothing. One more time, thank you so much to all Nemasu staff, you are the main reason my trip to The Gambia was worthy. PS No, no they didnt pay me to write this review...hahaha

Quiet and secluded eco lodge near the beach
A peaceful and relaxing location, away from the main road, at night you can enjoy the sounds of the waves and the forest. The budget rooms are simple yet comfortable, with shared open air shower and toilets are a short walk way. a beautiful and relatively quite beach. Regular evening entertainment including drumming, dancing and fire. It is also easy enough to arrange something more active either through Nemasu's tour options or independently using public transport.

Great stay in rural Gunjur
Fantastic, calm and comfortable eco lodge right at the beach seemingly far away from all trouble. While at first I was wary at the lack of AC, the wind cooled our ocean view house in a very adequate way. Long, undisturbed beach with resting cows, playing friendly stray dogs and wild ocean. The nearby fish plant gives a very strong fish smell for a few hours in the afternoon if the wind is such - this would be the only unpleasant moment of our stay. Great food that you will want to pay for - budget a little more than you would in more urban places such as Bakau. Friendly staff, run by an obviously dedicated wish to better both environment and conditions for locals. All in all a lovely place worth coming back to!

Nemasu ecolodge is een hele fijne kleinschalig lodge aan een supermooi en schoon strand. Het klimaat is er in december ideaal, droge lucht, geen muggen, Het personeel doet er alles aan om het gasten naar de zin te maken met o.a. Kampvuur in de avonden. We hebben het er heel fijn gehad.

Adorable quiet 'glamping' at best beach of Gambia
This is a very eco Friendly lodge with beautiful huts. Don't expect hotel facilities as it is all 100% eco. Limited power, wifi and no tossing paper in the toilets... That having said, we would not have wanted to stay anywhere else; if we were to go back we would go here again for sure! Very friendly staff that go out of their way to help you.

Ett ställe att ladda sinanatterier på
Helt fantastiskt ställe som drivs med miljön i tanke. Jag o min man stortrivdes. Det ligger enskilt en bit från allt annat med havsutsikt o vågornas skvalp i örat hela tiden. Personalen är alltid där utan att vara påträngande. Bungalowen är enkel men ren o prydlig o städad varje dag. Du kan bara vara här utan några krav o störningsmoment. Restaurangen har jättegod mat o dryck. Du behöver inte vara utan något. Ett minus om du behöver handla så finns inga affärer alls o närheten utan du måste ta dig m taxi en bra bit. För oss fixade det sig dock när vi i packningen missat schampo så kom Greg, australiensaren som driver stället, med ett till vår räddning.
