Guest Reviews
- Donette (8/5): - Jo was a wonderful host. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating to this first time visitor. I would definitely stay at Jo J's Hostel again. I had a great overall experience.
- Shaneese (10/5): - This is a great property for the price, in a convenient location, and the owner is very helpful and accomodating. Would highly recommend.
- Keron (8/5): - Stay was great
- Donald (8/5): - Jo was really nice
- randie (10/5): - John was an excellent host, he took care of us made us feel right at home! Went out of his way to show us around, provided transport to and from the airport took us for food as well. He was kind and respectful and the place looked amazing it was a great barbados experience! Would definitely stay here again!
- Uzoma (4/5): - I think the amount is too much for a room you have to share with 2 others in that location and also share bathroom with other rooms. The air conditioning is not working too. Not at all convenient.
- Global Connection Voyages Et Multiservices (6/5): - Fair Jojo was professional and courteous at all times he was helpful
- David (10/5): - Set on a quiet neighborhood, very safe and homely. 15mins walk to the beach, located on a hill and enjoyed the walks to the Oistins bay gardens and beach. Close to groceries and food options 😋
- Alexander (10/5): - Great efficient hostel in Barbados
- Monica (10/5): Wonderful time in Barbados - Jo was an excellent host. If you want to get along with him, you have to respect him and follow his house rules. He takes good care of his property, and he helped me a lot with tips to tours around the island. He is a good host and an excellent guide. The van nr.10, just behind Jo's house, will take you to Bridgetown in 15 min. A short walk down Gall Hill, and you are at Miami beach, a dreamy beach in Oistens. Don't expect luxury, but Jo's hostel has the perfect location in town. Jo, thanks for everything.
- Samanthia (2/5): - Firstly, that property is not in Oistins, it is in a community call Gall Hill, which locally is considered the projects/ghetto, hence not the safest place. Secondly, it was very clear that I was not expected as there was no one to greet me - the property manager was nowhere to be found. Thirdly, the place was unkempt with overgrown, poorly maintained shrubbery and just general untidiness. These pictures must have been from years ago as the property looks nothing like the pictures. This is the epitome of misleading and false advertising. I was out of there in a flash, and ended up having to pay $140 BBD in taxi fare alone trying to find alternate accommodation. I also had to pay another hotel $137usd for a last minute booking. The property is truly worth the price and even less. Would definitely not recommend!!
- Raheem (8/5): - The place is nice and close to the airport and close to oistins and very peaceful. Would recommend to anybody.
- Linda (8/5): - Just spent 10 nights at jo j's found it friendly gwendelyn especially helpful, but for me a little out of way because it was high up, overall probably would go back
- Marilyn (2/5): - Nothing
- Kendon (10/5): - .
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Had a nice chat with the gentleman. Had everything I would need.
- Weston (10/5): - Easy going respectful owner, John! I felt at home; very welcoming with warmth of a complete balance, and harmony location. I believe this home offer to the cool folks who are open minded, friendly, respectful and loving. I liked that it was cleaned and the internet connection was great at all times. Also, what I liked Jo J's has reasonable rates for everyone even those pocket watchers. It's a safe and peaceful neighborhood for all. I enjoyed my stayed and met wonderful travelers and friendly locals. Viva Barbados en Jo J's Hostel!
- Francois (10/5): - Great place, very clean with all the things you need. Very friendly owner. Thank you!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property felt like a home away from home. It was lovely, clean and comfortable.
- Marc (8/5): - Very good and affordable option to stay. I only stayed 1 night, but everything went great.
