Germaican Hostel

Marian was a very responsive host. The seaviews from the hostel are lovely. Breakfast was always very nice and nice sets of people arriving. Friendly atmosphere. Great place to chill. Marian also organises different activities. You have to get a taxi to Stony Hill Flats to get to the hostel. Marian will collect you. It is nice walking down. At night, you can see nice fireflies as one approaches the road to the hostel. Many thanks for your help, Marian.

Probably best to get back at the time when Marian picks people up if the weather is rainy and it is late. May be a little strenuous for people not used to walking but you can also commission a taxi to take you to the hostel itself.

Amazing vibes, really cool and helpful staff. Favourite place in Jamaica so far. You wake up in the middle of the jungle with the sounds of nature. Felt really safe and the view is amazing! Good WiFi as well. Excellent for solo travelers, the owner will give you a lift to town and back if you have no way to reach the hostel so location is not a problem. Also amazing breakfast, 10/10, could not recommend more!

The seaview from the bungalow was amazing.

Very friendly hosts. Loved the facilities up in the hills.

Great location, good to be away from the town. We loved the cottage where we stayed. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Great ambience

The property has two dogs - not a problem - but because they shared the furniture with the guests, the soft furnishings had a very strong smell of ‘dog’. A regular steam clean would solve the problem and keep the furniture in a more hygienic state

We loved the breakfast, the hosts (especially the cute baby ;) ), the surroundings (the beautiful jungle), the view, the babyfoot games, the rides in the truck. Marian is very nice and helps you if you have any problem. It’s a real hostel where you can feel that Marian and Anna welcome you warmly in their home. A lot of different people go there, be prepared to meet a lot of nice people !

The rooms are clean and spacious and the view from the hostel is lovely.

The location is very problematic. The road to access the hostel is too bumpy and drivers risk to damage their vehicles trying to reach it. If you decide to walk the road is quite long and muddy (we ended up walking more than 30 mins in the mud with our luggage). It makes sense if you are renting a Jeep or a car that can easily go on those kinds of roads. The hostel is very cheap but you’ll may end up paying so much money in taxis to go wherever you need to (the first day just to go to a beach in Port Antonio and come back we spent the same amount of the first night in the place). If you want to chill in a place for a few days and wonder around it’s great, if however you want to do day trips and move around the area it may not be the cheapest and fastest option. Also there is no hot water.
