Keur Saloum

Bon séjour au Keur Saloum. Service et cuisine au top ! Les excursions sont nombreuses mais pas toujours possibles. Bien se renseigner avant auprès d’Aliou à la réception et posez les bonnes questions car les descriptifs sont succincts et le programme écrit par toujours respecté. Les prix ne sont pas non plus à jour donc bien demander avant si vous ne voulez pas de surprise. La chambre dans les cases est correcte sans plus. La climatisation et l’eau chaude marchent. Pas de bouilloire dans la chambre. Dommage. Bon hôtel au dessus de la moyenne surtout dans cette région. Belle vue sur les bolongs à partir du restaurant où des suites mais pas des cases.

We visited Keur Saloum with my wife and absolutely loved it. The setting is peaceful, the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the views over the mangroves were beautiful. A perfect getaway for couples. Highly recommended!

Stayed here as part of a tour across Senegal. Location is amazing on top of a bluff overlooking the Saloum River Delta. Views from the lovely bar/restaurant deck are brilliant. Room was a cottage in the gardens at the front. The numbering system is absolutely out of whack but one can find their room after looking around a bit. The cottage itself is well appointed and spacious. A few more power plug points would be nice though. As would a shower caddy to put my body wash. Otherwise the room is fine. The food was good, but only a buffet at night. The drinks and especially the coffee at the bar were great. Staff is friendly and generally good. One can walk out the door and hit up some of the souvenir shops and local restaurants within a 10 min walk. It’s all safe and easy to do. Didn’t try the WiFi. Overall probably the best hotel in the area. The access road needs to be fixed by the local municipal authority though…its a mud track.

nature: mangroves, birds, monkeys, baobab Toubakouta village in walking distance great views from terrace nice bungalow village clean rooms with AC and mosquito nets organisation of tours (e.g. by boat), start directly at the property kind staff good breakfast/dinner nice bar refreshing pool Summary: overall great location for everyone who loves nature, good food and friendly people. - transfers by car to other towns or airport seem a bit pricey - buildings not the newest anymore, but that didn't bother us too much (because everything was clean)

Waterfront location. Clusters of rondavels and bungalows around central restaurant / bar /pool area ,surrounded by gardens. Better than expected for a 3 star rated . My room was end of a small bungalow block ,at top end, near security gate and was extremely spacious for just me! Lots of sockets, separate areas in bathroom ,toilet ,shower (hurrah, hand held ,perfect for long hair wash )and basin. Massive bed, firm, comfortable. Mosquito net and mosquito mesh over windows .(not needed in Feb) Chair, desk (too far for WiFi to work) and another bedroom with bunk beds!! Perfect family room. The heater worked fine ,spare blanket in cupboard. TV !!!! Care needed entering swimming pool as some of the tiny tiles are loose but ,despite "artistic "shape is big and deep enough for a good swim. Spacious bar/restaurant with view over the delta. Fruit bats residing over the bar! Food. Breakfast pseudo French type (what do locals eat here???) Evening meal , 3 courses ,was very good BUT I asked for adaptation because the only option I would choose was seafood but was served as linguine ,so I had the seafood in the sauce with salad .The other options were massive plates. Everyone was happy with this meal. Fresh juices available if you ask. Stayed just one night as part of 14 day tour and left by motorised pirogue for next hotel..what fun!

We stayed for 5 nights in this hotel and made the best of it. It didn't help that the temperature was nearly 40 degrees every day. The air con in the room was only just about adequate, the bed was a mattress on a concrete base. The shower cubicle had broken tiles underfoot and only a handheld shower. Only one bottle of soap provided in the room. The grounds are really pretty and quite well maintained. The swimming pool will be unusable soon as all the little tiles on the steps are falling off. By the time we left the staff were quite friendly but we had to work at it. The food was basic, a lot of meat and only 2 choices of main course and everything else set. I had a severe bout of food poisoning one night which didn't improve my opinion of the hotel as it was the only place we ate. We did a couple of tours and the bird life is fantastic but the guides really weren't that interested. It was lovely to sit out in the evenings when it had cooled down a bit as the hotel looks over the water and mangroves. When we came to pay, the receptionist was busy chatting on the phone so wasn't concentrating and overcharged us. To her credit she did realise and came to our room in the evening but gave us the over payment in CFA's which was absolutely no use to us as we were leaving Senegal the next morning! Wi fi was pretty poor most of the time. It's a real shame as the hotel has lots of potential but we understood that it had just been sold so hopefully the new owner will rectify matters.
