Good Value for your Money
The staff is great and you get good value for what you spend however, more efforts needs to be put in management issues such as ensuring parking places is well managed, more drivers to assist client with cars and ensure that clients can enjoy their stay and not constantly worry about parking issues. The Breakfast was good but must also have non spicy option as not everyone want to eat spicy food, and more efforts must be made to keep the shared kitchen clean. More efforts must be made to have power constant and for the generator to not be out of fuel.

Best value I’ve found in Freetown.
It’s a bit difficult to find even for keke or taxi drivers, look for a sign in green letters on Peninsular road. The road is rough. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. They will do your laundry or go at night to get you food. Tip them well they work hard.

GREAT LODGE, VALUE FOR MONEY, LOVELY EMPLOYEES!!!
All but positive for me. This lodge is wonderful, the customer care is impeccable. Everything and everyone is lovely. The guys that work in this place are Godsent. They aim to please. No job is too big for them. Anything you ask for they will do their level best to make it happen. Breakfast was delicious and if you miss breakfast there is always a plate saved for you to have whenever you like. I stayed at the lodge with my kids and the loved it. It was a home from home. Starting from the owner to each and everyone of the employees were very accommodating. I recommend this lodge to anyone and I won’t stay anywhere else. Thanks to Isatu, fadika, Arthur, Abubakar, claude, saow for making me and my kids Christmas holiday a memorable one, the lovely drivers for pick ups and drop offs at the airport. Mr Ismail thanks for everything and for your swift response whenever I needed any questions answered and your assistance from booking your lodge, during my stay and leaving. DO NOT HESITATE BOOKING THIS PLACE, IT’’S REMARKABLE AND THE OWNER AND EMPLOYEES ARE LOVELY. GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!!

This is our second stay at the lodge and we were a little disappointed this time with the service. The room was mostly ready, we only waited a few minutes, but there is definitely not a 72 hour air our after the last guests, so if you are concerned about covid be aware of that. We wanted to order food (tea and egg with toast) it took more that 2 hours to arrive and there were no condiments offered. The free breakfast was adequate, but we never ate before 9am, despite the times saying it would be earlier so we had to miss breakfast sometimes due to other engagements we needed to be on time for. Everyone is friendly for sure and it is safe, just don't plan to eat there unless you order early and have no where to go!

We enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable there. We were happy for the hot water showers!!! Just a few ideas that might help improve the rooms. The wall by the bed was a little dirty and could use a wash, there were no garbage cans in the room and the tv's only had 6 channels but only three worked and two were selling items. It would also be nice to offer guests two little bottles of complimentary water. Otherwise, this was really a nice place to stay for a reasonable price. The food was lovely and the free breakfast really offered a lot of delicious options. The team was very friendly.

The lodge was really friendly and everyone was willing to support our needs and were flexible with us extending. The food was so tasty and we enjoyed the breakfast and our dinners. The prices were reasonable, however there was apparently a price change in the menu which no one told us about until we went to pay, which felt a bit frustrating. Regardless, we would go back again. They even helped us early in the morning to arrange transport to travel to the bus station. We are really grateful to them for this.
