It was a nice hostel to stay. Stefano was very kind. It is close to the beaches, so perfect for us to relax in our vacation.

Plumbing situation could be improved. Taps and shower head are old, full of limescale and as a result the water pressure is non-existent. Good for eco use of water, though.

Great clean place in a beautiful setting. Alberto, who was at the time in charge of managing the place was just amazing! In close proximity to a lot of places around where you can just walk.

The mattress was quite thin (I think they may be a bit old and need a bit of a refresh). The room was really hot. There are fans but they don't quite reach the top bunks so it's very hot at night.

It was really close to both Winnifred beach and Boston Beach - easily walkable. Friendly atmosphere too with other travellers. Stefan was really knowledgeable and helped with any and all questions.

Stefano was amazing. He was super friendly and helpful. He cooked Italian pasta for us which tasted amazing and was a great change from all the Jerk.

Excellent location - quick access to public transportation i.e. taxis and mini buses - easily accessible to the beaches and Boston Jerk Centre - The operator - Stefano ensures that everyone is aware of rules, guidelines, policies and anything that a new guest would need to know getting around. Would I revisit Porty Hostel - oh absolutely!

The hostel could do with a little investment and redecoration to make it even more appealing and comfortable.

Stefano who runs the hostel was very helpful, informed and well connected. He knew short cuts to the beach and all about the area. The room was quite comfortable, there's a balcony, kitchen and sitting area. The other travellers were pleasant. It's a small hostel so is quiet, which I liked. It is close to local amenities. I would recommend the hostel and stay again.

Cold water in the shower, but you can live with that.

Good location, Stefano the owner helped us with some useful information.

Stefano and his son Mateo are lovely people and great company and help while you're staying in the area. He has many tips and local knowledge. The hostel is a really warm, happy, friendly place. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is amazing for accessing all the local beaches and food. Its rare to find hostels like this in Jamaica and this is a really lovely one where everyone just wants to relax and enjoy jamaica! Thank you Stefano and Mateo !

Hostel wasn't very clean, everything was old and worn out, limited kitchenware and no hot water.

Location was good, in between St winifreds and Boston beaches.

It would be great a bigger kitchen.

The host was very kind and helpful.

No mosquito nets, therefore TONS of bugs and mosquitos. It was horrible. Dogs barking all night, every night. No running water, had to use buckets to flush toilet. Bed sheets didn’t fit the mattress so we ended up sleeping on the mattress itself every night. Very old equipment. Dirty kitchen, dead cockroach falling out of the closet. All in all a neglected space. It’s been a stressful stay and we feel like we need a vacation now.

Johnny, the house keeper is a very friendly guy. Helpful and sincere. The hostel is close to all the nice attractions and located in a nice Jamaican neighborhood. Close to Winnifred Beach. Large balcony.

Nothing really, maybe a little hard to find so get a sign perhaps.

Very cool hostel run by friendly people. A bit hidden but gives you a really local perspective from the town. Has a kitchen and common balcony. It's a quiet area but enough shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Beautiful nature and beaches are close (20min walk) and you can explore the area by route taxi. Best backpacker spot in the parish.

Perfect low budget hostel best in Portland

A wonderful little hostel run by a friendly Italian owner! Close to the beaches with good bathrooms and a nice communal kitchen! I enjoyed my time here in Port Antonio

Clean Hostel with great staff! Stephano made sure we'll feel at home and gave us great advice for every place we wanted to visit. He is very experienced with Backpackers like us, and meeting other travelers throughout our Hostel stay was a real treat!

Stefano very graciously helped me check in in the middle of the night as my flight landed at 2 in the morning. He is very knowledgeable of all the shortcuts to local beaches, and will even walk you there! Plus same day laundry service

Perfect host, good location (walking distance to Winifred / Boston beaches), chillout vibes Pretty safe area - walked twice to the beach to swim alone before sunrise, no issues

Everithing was exellent!

Uncomplicated and caring welcome by the host Stefano, he introduced us in the place, explained about sourroundings and all nearest attractions. He was very kind, Stefano is always ready for a help or to have a chat. Everithing you need as a backpacker is provided. We came in thinking to stay one night and ended up spending 5 night at porty hostel. N.1 hostel in Jamaica!

Absolutely nothing! Loved every second of my stay at Porty Hostel! Stefano keep it up!

Porty hostel felt like home as soon as I walked in! Location is great, the hostel is clean, safe and deffo a great value for money. The hostel is very close to some of the most beautiful beaches in Portland area and when I say close I mean walking distance! The owner Stefano is super helpful and extremely friendly. I will definitely visit again! This is your spot in Portland!
