Kotu, Badala Park Hotel Review

Good Points
Good base for your trips, which you can book outside the back gate and are cheaper than with the tour operator.

Bad Points
Locals will follow you non-stop, unless you are firm!

General Comments
The Badala Park Hotel is a good base for your trips, which you can book outside the back gate and are cheaper than with the tour operator. Outside the front gate are enough Gambian locals who will rush to you to sell you things at the first chance so beware, however if you tell them a 'direct no' then you will be left alone but the minute you give them your attention you are stuck with them for the fortnight!
