The staff at the property were excellent. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and very accommodating. We ended up staying there nearly 3 weeks and in that time it was comforting to know that staff was concerned for you if you were away from your routine. This was particularly reassuring as we were two senior women travelling without our husbands. We felt very safe. If there was an issue with anything the issue was addressed in a timely manner. It is clear that the facility is working to improve the quality of its property. Without a doubt I would recommend this property as a great place to stay.

On a whole the staff was welcoming, polite and very professional. Couldn't come to the reasoning for only 1 bottle of water in the room on arrival. Service was slightly slow when requested anything for the room. A few things that needed to be put right, No shower gel in the dispensers, Do not disturb or room cleaning required did not work. Flushing of the toilet jammed but I worked it out before I left so that it the water never kept running all the time in the system. All in all a pretty comfortable stay.

Room and bed are confortable. But the staff who take care of cleaning and cleanliness do not do their job well, especially in the toilets. More effort will be needed to provide customers with clean towels. The swimming pool is very beautiful

Hotel from Hell
Location was good but the access road needs upgrading. The whole building needs refurbishing because of poor maintenance the building is dilapidated. Aisha was a fantastic receptionist always trying her best to solve difficult issues. Cleaning was extremely bad. Breakfast choice was limited. A big Shout out to Ibrahim in the restaurant.

The Metzy Experience
The Metzy Hotel has potential but requires: 1. Capital injection to upgrade facilities and improve the structure generally. 2. Trained and effective management team to support main areas of services 3. Cleaning staff- they are continuously under strain and ill equipped to carry out their work. The location of the hotel is ideal with access to other resorts, businesses and local communities. Isha at the reception desk was vey helpful and professional. She however needs support from management as she takes a lot of customer grief.

My Metzy Residence Hotel Stay
A-metzy-ing! I felt safe and well taken care of at Metzy. The ambiance was great, the staff were friendly and responsive. The meals were decent and the housekeeping did a good job with amazing honesty. The power supply was mostly on and outages lasted only five seconds at most. The internet connectivitty was good. It would be even better if the management fixes the wall of the dining room and positions the breakfast chef outdoors. Keep up the good work Metzy.

1st impressions the hotel looked nice. But there many renovations going on which should have been completed in the low season & not at the start of the high season.. Breakfast was describe as a buffet, but one always had to ask for milk, bread, rolls, juice & even glasses / cups.. Wi-Fi was a hit & miss. Router kept on disappearing during the day & would return if one queried where it had gone. Swimming Pool looked nice, but unfortunately to much chlorine as it affected the eyes & skin. No real service for those @ the pool for drinks & food - one had to go into the restaurant. Food was expensive. Staff were always friendly & helpful.

A good hotel for the money
My second stay at this hotel. Good value for money compared with other hotels in Gambia. Good facilities baring in mind that Gambia is a developing country. Staff happy to help with any issues. Breakfast reasonable but could be a bit more varied. Wifi - not good. The hotel has multiple routers but almost all were not working. Maybe 2 or 3 better ones would be better. When we complained they put a router outside the room again - but took it away the next day.

An excellent value however property needs more care. Furnishing had dirty spots. We stayed twice within 10 days in two separate rooms and each one had some issues with fixtures, bathroom etc. So a routine proactive maintenance check should be practiced

Very one-sided breakfast. Baked beans, sausages and chicken every day! For Europeans there was only bread, jam and eggs. Staff is very friendly and helpful but you should not have to ask for basic things like towels, soap and pillowcases. It looked like the room was not cleaned before we arrived.

Metzy hits the spot!
Oh man, where do I start? Lemme start with Mariam, the ever helpful, cheerful receptionist. She is a credit to Metzy. Give her a raise, I say! Baboucarr was another receptionist who went over and beyond for me. Barrow from Housekeeping kept my room squeaky clean. The hotel is well located, walking distance from the beach which was handy as I was there every Wednesday jogging. The rooms, well mine, was L shaped and spacious. So spacious I could do my floor exercises right there and not outside on the balcony. There are his and hers sinks in the bathroom so we can do our teeth together. Romantic! Breakfast consist of boiled eggs, fried eggs, porridge, tea, juice, water and occasionally watermelon. Respect to the breakfast crew for feeding me and for the 'omelette man' for always remembering my 'usual, please': 4 eggs, no onions. Love the pool too. But my 2 year old nephew loved it so much it was a proper task to get him out of it! And to think Metzy wasn't even a choice of mine eh! This hotel hasn't seen the last of me yet. Whats' that Arnie line? Ah, yes! I'll be bacl!!

The service was absolutely wonderful. Amazing staff willing to help you at any time given, with any issues you’ve experienced regarding your rooms or just generally get around, visit places or recommended restaurants and tours. The pool attendant was very hospitable including all staff members as all wanted you to feel as comfortable as possible.
