    Amazing hostel. Has pool, kitchen, wifi, amazing clubhouse with table tennis, BBQ, great seating, TV, Fans, etc. Very beautiful place. Additionally, workers and owners very helpful and nice people. Location is right across from Ricks. Easy access to beach (150 Jmd/less than a dollar) by route taxis which goes by every minute or so.

    From the moment we walked in, actually, after even booking the reservation the service was very VIP . The property was so beautiful and lush with natural greenery. The rooms were clean and the entire staff was so hospitable! Will come back many more times !

    The property was really nice and places to chill with games or TV. It was properly secured - the gate was always locked and only those staying at the property could get in and out. At night there was an outer gate that locked also for extra security. The location was perfect. Right across the road from Rick's cafe, walking distance to supermarkets. Short taxi ride to the beach. Joanna was amazing and super helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect with our stay from recommendations of places to go to helping us get to the airport when the shuttle we booked ignored us.

    The location is good to visit Rick's and the other couple of bars next door but there is nothing else to do here, 7 mile might be a better option for many travelers. The hostel is amazing but they kinda forgot about the kitchen, it's pretty small and rundown.

    I stayed in 100s of hostels and this is right at the very top when it comes to facilities. The clubhouse is amazing, the pool is great, staff is accommodating, and you are literally 20 seconds away from Rick's Cafe.

    The only thing I didn't like its cause there's a pipe in the middle of the bathrooms floor and I almost fall going to the bed at night 😬

    One of the best hostels I've been in my life...It's very beautiful,big,clean,with a poll inside and the people who works there are so helpful and lovely! The owner Joana was very nice too,and gave me some tips about restaurants around the place...

    I was staying in a female dorm with 3 bunk beds. Unfortunately, the room was lacking privacy, and the beds were unstable and noisy. You could see the bathroom from the outside windows, the shower is honestly too small and without hooks so you couldn't really get changed in there. Maybe adding a door could help fix all that! Hopefully, when I stayed the place wasn't full. We got 1 bunk bed each and eventually got along with the other girls to hang out together, so privacy wasn't so much of a big deal at that moment.

    The place is beautiful, a true paradisiac garden. It is really chill, they have an incredibly comfy living room as a shared place and I got to meet other backpackers there! The staff is nice as you can tell, they are trying to keep it safe and clean.

    The space is fairly new so I imagine they're not quite done with the installments in the bathroom area.

    The location was very nice, lush green trees around and the utilities functional. Right across from Rick's Café anf the personnel wad very friendly and professional.

    Nothing much, still newer property so could use little things like hooks in bathroom and hand soap, but nothing important!

    Amazing amazing place to stay in Negril. We stayed in one of the cabins and it was absolutely stunning. The whole hostel is within a beautiful garden, super chill, super quiet, a small paradise. It's also walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Negril. The communal areas are very well taken care of, some of the best I've seen. The service we received from the staff was incredible. They were so nice and accommodating and made sure we are comfortable and happy with our room Couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Nothing. It catered perfectly for our one night stay. If staying longer ( which we wished we could have done!) we would have chosen a larger cottage with ac.

    it's location and setting in a beautiful tropical garden. Also the delightful and helpful staff.
