Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

πŸ’‘

Book Hotel Ceiba, Azalai Hotel, and Hala Hotel 4-6 weeks ahead during November to April peak season - these fill with NGO workers, diplomats, and conference guests

πŸ’‘

Cajou Lodge on Bubaque Island should be booked 2-3 months ahead as it has limited rooms and is the only quality island accommodation

πŸ’‘

Budget guesthouses rarely have online booking - contact directly via WhatsApp numbers or book through Bissau hotels who know reliable budget options

πŸ’‘

Orango Camp and remote island accommodation must be arranged through Bissau tour operators or park offices - no direct online booking

πŸ’‘

Most hotels quote prices in USD or Euros but accept payment in XOF - agree currency before check-in to avoid exchange rate confusion

πŸ’‘

Ask hotels about airport transfer services when booking - Hotel Ceiba, Azalai, and Hotel Dunia all offer reliable airport pick-up
