Wilber Lodge

"The place is not a 5-star guest house, and I was pleasantly surprised by the way I was treated. The staff were lovely, the rooms were clean, and the facilities were better than some of the hotels I have stayed in across Africa. My bed was even a TV bed — I connected my MP3 player and listened to music through the bed speakers… great experience! The location is excellent, with the airport just a stone’s throw away. The staff even went out to buy takeaway food for me when I requested it, which I really appreciated. I do wish they had WiFi, but I understand they may be keeping their costs down. However, I was given a pre-loaded SIM card to make calls to my family, which was a thoughtful gesture."

"Daniel and his wife were excellent!! Place was comfortable, spacious & secured. Despite power issues in Freetown, electricity was always available thanks to Daniel & his wife ingenuity and back up plan."

"Very friendly english speaking host. Easy contact. Secure private parking behind gates! - we came from the Bamako rally so it was very important for us. Huge spacious apartament. It is not Europenien standard but for what we've seen elswhere in Africa it is pretty good."

"Well maintained, comfortable and lovely place. The hosts had put in a lot of effort to make sure the place had all the facilities. Good quality bed with mosquito nets, sofa, fridge, freezer, well equipped kitchen, a big flat screen TV, clean and big bathroom. It was a great place to rest. AC and Wifi worked the whole time, the used a generator in times of power-cut."
