The Lodge offers 18 rooms; four deluxe, six bungalows and eight inland rooms. The accommodation is basic but neat and clean, with the scent of natural wood surrounding you. If you decide on the deluxe room or bungalow, you will love the direct view of the river from the private deck. The rooms are separated, providing complete privacy,  peace and solitude.

The central attraction of the Lodge is the River Restaurant, with its large terrace from which you can experience breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The restaurant is built on a wooden platform and is connected to the reception by a gravelled path surrounded by mangroves. At the restaurant, you can enjoy delicious natural food from 7 am until midnight while chilling in the fresh air, catching the sun on the deck, or resting in one of their hammocks or comfortable chairs. Prices are affordable and the staff very friendly.

Mosquitoes aren't such a pest in Bintang due to the high saline content of the River Gambia, but nevertheless, the sleeping accommodations are protected from insects and vermin by mosquito nets.

Bintang Bolong is a perfect spot for weekend getaways - birdwatching, fishing with a rowboat or motor boat, guided tours, lazy boat trips, cultural performances by villagers, meditation spots or reconnecting and recharging with the stillness of the environment. Cultural nights in the village and cooking lessons with a local family can be organised for bigger groups. You can also rent a bike, a paddleboat or a jeep for two to explore the beautiful environment of Bintang.
