About Us

Guesthouse Kololi Room 27

Meet your hosts

We’re Birgit Klauder from Germany and Amadou Barry from The Gambia. In 2021, we had the opportunity to take over Guesthouse Room 27 in Kololi. Birgit decided to make The Gambia her permanent home, and in October 2021, we opened our doors to the first guests. Since then, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming many returning visitors and new faces. Seeing our dream of owning a guesthouse come true has been incredibly rewarding. With years of combined experience in the hospitality industry, we’ve strived to create a welcoming and comfortable space for our guests.

Comfort. Style. Relaxation.

Whether you’re here for a relaxing holiday or a productive business trip, Guesthouse Room 27 is the perfect base. Enjoy the luxury of double beds, free Wi-Fi, mosquito nets, and modern bathrooms. We’re conveniently located near everything you need, from shops and restaurants to tourist attractions. Our guesthouse is also close to the hectic tourist area of Senegambia, offering easy access to beaches, nightlife, and other activities.

For those on business trips, we can provide a quiet and comfortable workspace, as well as assistance with transportation and other business needs.

For those seeking a relaxing holiday, we can help you plan exciting excursions and activities, such as beach trips, wildlife safaris, and cultural tours.

 Verified Birgit and Amadou made our stay unforgettable! When we arrived, we were a bit worried we had ended up in a very touristy area, which wasn’t what we were looking for. They immediately understood and gave us great tips on how to get around like locals by taxi and bus, as well as recommendations for local places and restaurants.Right outside the accommodation there are two excellent local restaurants, we ate there every day for both lunch and dinner, absolutely delicious. Breakfast at the accommodation was also outstanding.The location is excellent: perfect if you want to be close to everything, but also ideal as a base to explore other parts of The Gambia, as all connections are nearby. Amadou picked us up from the bus station when we arrived from Senegal and drove us to the airport when we left, very flexible and perfectly organized.The place itself is amazing: spacious, airy, comfortable, and located on a calm, safe street right in the center.Thank you Birgit and Amadou!

 Verified Birgit and Amadou are excellent hosts with a great space for guests. Breakfasts each morning were well prepared, the house is cleaned daily, and Amadou was helpful for driving me to and from the airport and even to some of my tour sites. They are very hospitable and helped leave a good impression of the Gambia for me. Would stay here again!

 Verified Die Unterkunft zu finden schien zunächst schwierig, da der Fahrer es gewohnt war, eine mündliche Weg Beschreibung zu bekommen. Es gibt keine Straßennamen! Und!: Ich hatte mit meiner dtsch Simcard keinen Empfang. Birgit hat auf meine Nachricht über das Handy vom Fahrer - wie immer - schnell reagiert… und erklärte dem Fahrer den Weg. So ging es perfekt!Sehr schön ruhig gelegen! Ich fühlte mich sicher!! Frühstück sehr liebevoll und abwechslungsreich! Auf dem Balkon mit etwas Einblick in das nachbarschaftliche Wohnen.Mein Zimmer war sehr geräumig, alles bestens!Schon vor meiner Ankunft regelmäßig Kontakt! Birgit spürt sofort, was man braucht: Ob Ruhe oder das Gegenteil, Infos und schnelle Alternativen, falks etwas nicht geht, Infis über das gambische Leben,….Verhaltensregeln, die gut funktionieren,….Man ist bei Birgit und Amadou super aufgehoben!!!

 Verified My stay at Room 27 was great! The location was just right for going to the nearby restaurants, the monkey park and the various beaches. It was quiet and peaceful at night and the bed was very comfortable. Hot water was available for showers and there is an option to get a good, full breakfast with juice and coffee for a small fee. Amadou was able to pick me up at the airport and take me back a few days later at very late hours so I didn't have to try to figure out other means of transportation. He was also available to drive me to and from the local beaches which I really appreciated. Very nice stay and very nice people. I definitely recommend staying here. As a woman traveling alone I felt very safe.

 Verified Bij Birgit en Amadou is het geweldig vertoeven! Rustige straat nabij meer dan voldoende bars en restaurants, fijne ruime kamer met een goede douche met heerlijk warm water. Het ontbijt is ook heel goed verzorgd, daar betaal je slechts 3 euro extra voor. Heerlijk balkon waar je kan eten, ruime hal, superfijn!
