Germaican Hostel

Everything was perfect. Marian is a great host. There were no other guests when we came but we enjoyed chatting with him. He also went above and beyond at every opportunity (like giving us a lift from the bottom of the hill, because the roads are awful).

It's hard not to like this place. It's fantastic. A few things to watch out for: It's the jungle so expect bugs. There is also no AC so it can get hot, though the evenings cool down to a pleasant temperature. The main thing is that the road up to the property is pretty terrible. Ask Marian for a lift, or walk up (it's not far from the main road).

Lovely place if you like to stay in nature. Kind hosts that made my stay comfortable by picking me up and bringing me to town or the place where I can get a taxi from, since it's quite remote. Definitely worth it though :)

Nothing not to like

Tolles Frühstück, gute Beratung

Marian was absolutely amazing, helpful and attentive. He made sure my stay was as comfortable, private and peaceful as possible. The location is beautiful, it is a little hard to get to but once you get there it is definitely worth the trip .

Best hostel in jamaica. I am gonna miss this place so much. Wonderful view, little adventure, clean bathrooms and room, Marians pancakes are amazing.

Amazing place and super friendly host. I would definitely recommend 🙏🙏

The misleading best of this place is its location only because of the views, BUT BIG ISSUE HERE IS THE ACCESS TO THE LOCATION. The dirt road to the Hostel is very rough, muddy, slippery, full of potholes, rocks, steep ascents and descents and much longer than GMaps tells you. Before going we asked the owner if the Hostel was accessible with a normal rental car, he said the road was uncomfortable but normal cars came to the area and just follow the signs. Well if you have a 4x4 you are fine, but in a normal car I strongly advice you not to attempt it unless you want to get stuck in mud or much worse break you steering or the engine crankcase on a rock, pay a fortune to the rental company and ruin your holiday. The signs to the Hostel are also old, dark, blurry, half covered in vegetation and easy to miss, so do not even think to arrive at night unless you know the way by heart. Yes, other standard cars do make it, but this does not mean the road is good or in an acceptable condition, and you only need to look at the dilapidated condition of the local cars from the villagers around. Actually our way out we came across a French couple going to another nearby accommodation that exploded a tire and damaged the ring on a prominent stone, surrounded by locals arguing about how to get their car out of the way. Additionally, I can’t believe the suspiciously enthusiastic reviews about this place. Our little bungalow was nice and the view was also nice, but there was no hot water, actually there was barely cold water as the water pressure is so low you can`t wash your long hair; the lighting in the room is so poor you can’t read a book; wifi was erratic; not TV or AC (we don’t care about those but some people do); and the breakfast some reviews rave about is just bread, small pancakes, some fruits and coffee! The place is very isolated, the closest shops are several km way on that donkey road and the hostel has no restaurant, you have to bring all your food beforehand.

The place is ran by a lovely German guy,very very accommodating and one of the loveliest hostels I’ve been in very well thought out and clean and amazing and breakfast was great too !

It’s very very very far and isolated from everything to get to see anything the owner has to take you all the way down with his jeep every day cause taxis don’t go there and it’s very far and then to get to town you need like another taxi or two from there very very clumsy in that way,had to ask the owner also to help us get grocers since it’s so far from everything

Lovely breakfast. Beautiful location and incredible views. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful and made sure our stay was perfect
