I agree, dont spend much time in the hotel, always go for the cheapest, basic, clean hotel, in a good location, think the prices are coming down, but with many tour operators not running to the Gambia, only time will tell,
They could price themselves out of business, people are not going to pay the same price for BB when you can go somewhere else for the same price, and maybe it would be AI,

It would be usefull if we could start off the cheapest way to get to and stay in the Gambia. We use to use the GE, last time was with Thomas Cook MUCH CHEAPER.

I think it is confusing for the others if you use the samne nick like I do since a couple of years here :-)
