    Room was quiet and very clean. Kitchen facilities available. Excellent location. Other patrons were friendly and satisfied, repeat customers.

    Great place to Stay in Tobago, if you are a couple, a group of friends, or like me a solo world traveler. The owner Andrew is a SuperHost, a proactive person always willing to help and inform the foreigners that stays on his Hostel, a Hostel that has a big kichen with everything you need to cook, diferent spaces separated with dorm beds in the last floor with nice views from the balcony, and another floor with private rooms with ensuit bathrooms. Is a spacious and very quite place to relax and even chat with other travelers or our host Andrew, a great man full of expiriences to share. Supernarkets, bars, restaurants and ghe beach are at walking distance, in one of the best places to base your stay in Tobago. Highly recomended!!

    Nothing

    This was a wonderful stay. Everything was what you could possibly ask for. I had a private room which was very affordable, bed was super comfortable and A/C was perfect, house is large and there are kitchen facilities that you can use if you don't want to try one of many great local restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance from the house. There are beautiful beaches - public (free) is only 7 minutes away walking with great place to do body surfing and chargeable one ($3) - 15 minutes away walking with activities and nicely done grounds. I loved the free beach though. So pretty. Place is walkable from the airport if you want - 17 minutes, or take the public bus that takes 2-3 minutes. Public bus stop to both town and airport around the corner and if you don't like the option of waiting and paying only 30 cents, you can take a shared taxi to Scarborough and any place along the way for $1.50. They pass by every few minutes. For me location was perfect for all the reasons above and comfort was excellent. The owner is easy going and a wonderful person with whom you can have great conversations. He has been kind enough to drop me at the airport for free to make sure I don't miss my flight and I heard from other guests how helpful he's been to them too. This was my 2nd visit to Tobago after many years and I have remembered the same hospitality from my first visit too and came back to stay at the same place.

    There could be a little improvement with the tv. Sometimes youtube movies are a bit boring. Maybe a fire stick maybe better. But this just for those who prefer to stay inside during the holiday.

    The host is very pleasant and helpful. The rooms are air-conditioned and clean. If you want to cook you can. If you want to buy ready made meals there are places near by (within walking distance) such as Royal Castle and gyro food outlets, so the location is good. There is also a pharmacy nearby in case of any medical issues. It is also nearer to the current location of the airport than the port itself. In terms of beaches you can walk to Store bay and Swallows if you wish. For entertainment there is a casino is within walking distance. If you want to rent a car you can go about. But for those who don't want to rent a car there are places to walk to.

    The host Andrew is very accommodating, a good man, and will help you with all your needs. Location of this quiet safe place is minutes away from the main activity area of Bon Accord with lots of food options and bars with thumping music. Store Bay beach (for boat tours to Nylon bay) and Swallows beach are 15+ min walking distance. Pigeon point a further walk, maybe 30 min. I had the single private room which was small-ish but enough for a solo person. Toilet was a bit challenging to flush but good WiFi air conditioner and access to big kitchen and common area. Airport 5-10 min drive away.
