The island is natural and practically untouched by humans. Village life and forest walks feel like you are going back in time. The locals are a real credit to Sierra Leone. There are no motor vehicles on the island.

The rubbish caught in the wash of the sea and coming ashore on the beach included broken glass and used syringes with needles. Finding out that the Environmental Protection Agency supports a plan to turn the island into the largest sea port in West Africa with an estimated increase of 100 000 people, destruction of the forest to build a city as busy as Freetown and god knows what to the local sea life and annual migration of Whales.

Dalton is a wonderful guest house on Banana Island. It has a private beach and the sound of the Atlantic Ocean can be heard all around. Wonderful, kind, friendly, helpful Leoneon staff, who go out of their way to make guests feel at home. A beautiful place with a large reception area where meals and drinks are served for a price. The private double room I stayed in had large double bed with pillows, bed sheets and a moskito net. Small wooden table, and stool to sit on. Small wooden couch with a thin mattrus. En-suite bathroom with western-style toilet with seat and toilet paper, sink with running water, mirror and a basic shower with cool water. Bath towel included in room. Rubbish bin in bathroom. Room has lighting. Key to enter room. Room has 2 small windows with wooden shutters. Some hammacks near the room, plus a garden with many plants. Also hammacks at reception. Guests can charge phones, cameras, etc at the reception. There is power between 7 in the morning and 5 in the evening. Drinks to purchase include tea/coffee, small/large bottles of water, coke/fanta and beer. Meals are usually rice, veg and chicken or rice, veg and fish. Chips (fries) are also available. Breakfast options are pancakes with honey, fruit (usually papaya), and/or omelette. Activities include skuba diving, boat excursions, spear fishing, guided village and forest walks. The guest house and island is romantic. I'd visit again. Banana Island is reached by boat sent from the guest ouse on request and costs roughly US15 each way. Keke (similar to a Tuk-Tuk) and motorbikes can take people from Freetown to Kent Beach to meet the boat. The Keke/motobike journey takes just over an hour. The first night has to be paid in advance by PayPal, a bank transfer or money sent via Orange Mobile. Guests can pay their bill buy credit/debit card, or cash; in Leones or in US Dollars.

The room was a little dusty and the shower area could have done with a clean. The shower head and tap to turn on the water is very high. I could barely reach it. No plug sockets or power in any rooms. No/very poor WiFi throughout property. Maybe some at reception if you have your own phone and local SIM card. Can get noisy if a lot of guests and spoil the ambiance somewhat.

Beautiful location,good food and excellent company. Gregory has carved out a superb guest house on a stunning island.There are plenty of activities,or not , if you so choose.initially I had booked for 3 days I stayed for 6!! Would highly recommended

The bandits in Kent extracting an unconstitutional tax to access the village.something should be done to stop this to allow free access as it affects honest hard working businesses on the island

The 4 days/3 nights at Daltons Banana Guesthouse were the best days of our holiday in Sierra Leone - very friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, basic but good accommodation and great atmosphere. We enjoyed the historical tour and the snorkelling, eating fresh fish and other tasty meals, listening to the ocean waves and sharing stories over a beer (or more :)) with like-minded people. Thank you Greg & team, you are doing a great job!

A great place for some relaxing days. I enjoyed the nature on the island, and one afternoon I did a hike across the island. I also spent some time snorkelling, and I explored the nearby local village. At the guesthouse I did meet several other friendly guests.

Everything was perfect and exceptional. The owner, the manager, the staff are very friendly. The guesthouse is right on the beach and in the rainforest. They offer nice foods and also drinks. There are 3 different type of categories of rooms. They offer various activities. We tried the historical walk which was a best choice.

The fan would have been more effective.

It was a purely wonderful. We enjoyed our stay so much. Its not just about a perfect stop near by a sea and great meals they serve to guests. Its especial about warm welcome which you feel during a whole stay. Mr. Gregory who invented this place is super cool and very helpful man, who gonna arange whatever you ask for. This guesthouse is on new level. We love it so much, so for sure we gonna come back soon. Thanks from Czech Republic.

the place is a real gem. the staff are very nice and go out of their way to make sure your stay is comfortable. super delicious meals (try groundnut curry with fish!!!), very big and clean rooms. ocean view. the property is right on the beach too. amazing hiking which I did on both days. very safe and the villagers are very nice. Greg the owner makes you feel very welcome and has lots of activities to offer including a trip to Turtle islands.

Daltons was simple, striped back and perfectly formed. we were greeted and hosted wonderfully. the food is extraordinary (fresh barracuda ceviche).

I really loved the tranquility and the great food. very nice staff.
