Guest Reviews
- Antoinette (2/5): -
- Hyman (8/5): - La tranquilidad y lo limpio del lugar
- Gonzalez (9/5): -
- Krishna (5/5): Very good budget friendly - All food Cleaned
- Rachael (8/5): -
- Chidinma Ursla (10/5): Great experience and the host was very reachable - The host is such a fantastic and friendly person and the apartment was very easy to locate. I will strongly recommend his apartment for use. Thank you Nothing
- Spence (8/5): -
- Moenesar (8/5): -
- Julia (6/5): - Preis Zimmer hätte sauberer sein können, Couch mit vielen Flecken, in der Kakerlaken wohnten. Ausstattung ließ zu wünschen übrig, Bad war ohne Spiegel. Unterkunft sehr hellhörig, über mir war ein Paar, dessen lautstarkes Beten man deutlich hörte. Man geht doch fast eine halbe Stunde bis zum Strand. Ich würde das nächste Mal lieber mehr zahlen und dafür eine Unterkunft am Strand haben.
- Roland (9/5): -
- Jaydiene (9/5): - A complimentary water would've been nice.
- Leandro (7/5): - La cocina y el hambiente en general eran amplios y cómodos. El baño y la ducha muy pequeños. Éramos dos y sólo había un toalla y un vaso (si habíatazas de café) No había detergente para lavar los platos, ni ningún elemento de limpieza para mantenerla durante la estadía.
- Adana (10/5): -
- Mass (10/5): -
- Guest (8/5): - Great location and property
- Shaylini (8/5): Great - The host were very nice and helpfull. The apartment was clean. The only thing off was that the beaches were 20min (walk) away.
- dinnal (6/5): Nice and accommodating - The apartment was comfortable and accommodating. The host was nice enough to give us another apartment so we could check in early. There was no warm water which was disappointing and upon arrival the outside was dirty. It’s as if the place has been deserted.
- Tye (7/5): Made the most out of it - Comfortable. AC worked. Owner gave a tour of town when first arrived. Enjoyed the cafe that was a 10 minute walk away. Communication was poor. Owner kept messaging me the wrong things including the wrong code to put key away. Called for airport pick up and asked if we had organised it the day of, even though i gave information of arrival time a week to 3 days before flight. Thin sheet to go with AC made us feel a bit ill overtime. No access to washing machine. Cold to bare warm water. No hand soap and little tissue. Some issues were ignored.
- Fraenk (7/5): -
- Tiona (5/5): - Spacious apartment and AC unit available No hot water in the rooms, other travellers I knew were there 4 days before who had enquired this with the owner. However, we were met with false promises of it being fixed. No hand soap or bath mat in the bathroom, just a folded towel which was suitable for the 4 days I stayed. However, the shower area could've been cleaner. Lack of hot water seems to be an issue that has been ongoing looking at previous reviews.
- Guest (7/5): It was good and enjoyable, especially the host was good. -
- King (8/5): Very good -
- Ruz (8/5): Very good -
- Vanessa (9/5): Superb -
- Manuel (5/5): Passable -
- Csroll (8/5): Very good -
- Frederick (8/5): Very good -
- Nina (6/5): Good - I would have preferred a one bedroom vs. Two rooms apt
- Kyran (8/5): It was decent - I was just taking a few days trip . So the property is located in a nice area not too far from the Us embassy which is good and in a quiet neighborhood . It’s not too far from shops and marts to buy food or shop etc . I didn’t use the stove or microwave because I decided I was gonna get take out while I was there . It’s also close enough to the main road if you want to catch a Mini van to get to Bridgetown or any other place. It was affordable and decent if you’re just staying for a few days passing through Barbados . The rooms were clean and neat . Microwave, fridge and stove if you need those amenities. Both rooms the bedroom and living room were AC out and worked great because Barbados was extremely hot . The hot water was good also in the shower 1) It’s not so much of a dislikes but suggestions to the owner . When I first got there to the property I got my instructions on how to enter the apartment but I was stuck outside for more than 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get my key for the door out of a locked pad and I did everything he said I struggled until after 15 mins or so that to me could be looked into a better way of storing the key to the apartment .
2) when I finally got into the apartment, I didn’t like how it smelled . It had a smell as if the apartment was closed for days or weeks , scent of no fresh air passing inside so I think the owner could look into airing out once a tenant leaves the room.
3) The TOILET wow , the toilet would definitely need to be looked into . It didn’t bother me that much because I’m wasn’t worrying about it that much but to get it flushed I had to push the level about 6 times just to get one complete flush . So it needs to be check out for someone it would indeed annoy because it somewhat did get annoying having to push the level more than 5 times to get it flush completely .
All in all other than those 3 things the room was good . Would recommend still
- Martelie (3/5): Getting shafted really affected my stay at this property. - I had a very bad experience at the end that overshadowed my entire stay on this private and what I thought was a very secure property. If you ever leave anything of value, by accident at this property, it will miraculously disappear. Please be
warned from someone who experienced it.
- Pinesh (6/5): Overrated place u can’t expect 1 fan can make whole place cool - Location was not good and property was not so known to many drivers There pictures on booking.com shows air condition but then in reality it’s not there and when connected to owner he said u should read the amenties provided before booking
- Diava (8/5): Very good -
- Ernest (8/5): Very good -
- Torres (10/5): Exceptional - The owner helped us a lot
- Horne (7/5): They stay was fair. - It was clean. And the area was quiet and easily accessible. The kitchen area was small and I had to be bending while in it. I couldn’t stand upright which was very uncomfortable. Also the stove did not work which posed some inconvenience.
- Marlyn (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great apartment was clean and comfortable
- Penelope (10/5): Exceptional - Good Place...I highly recommend it
- Shaquea (8/5): Good - No towel was provided
- Greaves (4/5): Disappointing -
- Vernesta (6/5): Pleasant -
- Earvin (8/5): Very good -
- Carlos (10/5): All in general great the attention spectacular, very happy I’m - Nice place Bed
- Peart (10/5): Exceptional -

- Shania (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shennazz (7/5): Good -
- Robert (8/5): Great Host and in ideal proximity to US Embassy. - The location was a little hard to find by taxi. They had to do GPS. Host was great and extremely helpful. Property was ideally located to easily access the US Embassy.
- Dickenson (7/5): overall the stay was good, comfortable. - view was nice and comfortable apartment. no hot water.
- Pauline (7/5): Good - Cosy apt on ground floor very quiet . A lithle dark at night getting back to apt
- Rodica (6/5): I anticipated better with regards to cleanliness. - The space within the apartment was adequate and surroundings was quiet and serene.
The television worked well and the wifi was good
The fans made the space cool which was comfortable.
The access stairs were lit at night which was very good 1. The bathroom had sand on the floor and felt dirty, a mat on the floor would be good stepping out from the shower.
2. The drain in the shower was semi blocked and water will accumulate on your feet after a few minutes in the shower.
3. The kettle was very dirty and greasy, the mugs were the same dirty and very greasy
4. The kitchen sink was very dirty, with mole build-up around the drain
5. The couch in the living room had a cold feeling and smell unpleasant
6. The pillows were smelly and need washing, especially the two at the top
7.The small flies in the apartment, that falls into everything
- Eglė (7/5): Good - Perfect location, not too far from the beach as we really enjoyed the 20min or so walk to it. Small yard outside we were able to enjoy a drink and watch sky at night
Owner vey friendly and helpfull! Sweetest person ever. I would come back if at some point decide go to Barbados again 🙏 Not very clean, there was no hot water.. no confitioner, even tough there was fee fans around apartament it still felt way too warm there luckily we did not spent alotof time in there.
- David (5/5): Passable -
- Nadjema (8/5): Very good -
- Deslyn (5/5): Passable - With only a fan, the room was very hot at night
- Bourne (10/5): Exceptional - It was easy to find, and the owner was very polite and professional. It was very clean, spacious, and beautifully furnished. I really enjoyed my stay and look forward to using this booking again.
- Hannah (5/5): Suitable as a place to sleep but not a welcoming home from home - The bedrooms were bright and spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen/dining/lounge area were very dark with almost no natural light.
I messaged the owner on arrival to Barbados to confirm what time we would be at the property, he didn't reply so we were let wondering and waiting.
The electric hob wasn't working when we tried to use it. I messaged the owner, explaining that we were trying to make dinner. He responded by saying an electrician will come the next day. He gave my number to the electrician to arrange access despite knowing that we had checked out of the property earlier that day.
- Greg (7/5): Good -
- Johana (9/5): Is a great place for find relax in your environment, Backing off to stressful city. - Is an apartment and for me was easy to find out too close the market for buy stuffs for cook with amazing prices. The mattress, could has been much more soft.
- Manish (2/5): Very poor -
- Arcaya (10/5): You will fell your travel as never leave home. You will have people making fell as at home. - WOW!!
There’s not enough words or comments in order to placed a good review. Wordless.
Paul was an amazing hosted. They help us with absolutely everything at the island in order to have all what we need. A great sensation since you arrived until you leave. The apartment was very clean and complete all our expectations. Highly Recommend for any family. If it will be the first time at Barbados. Selecting this commodity it will be the best choice ever. Nothing really. Everything was perfect
- China (7/5): Good -
- Calvert (1/5): Bad - I didn't meet the owners but we had some pleasant exchanges on the phone Neighborhood!
- Greg (8/5): Very good -
- Tasea (8/5): Very good - The hosts/drivers were friendly, very professional,accomodating and communicated well
Love all the payment options and the transportation options
The area felt safe and was in a 10min walk from a supermarket and a restaurant It was a bit warm in the accommodation although they did have fans in every room
The surrounding area is pretty dark at night not much streetlight so if you're venturing out walk with your phone/flashlight
