+Everything was perfect. Marian is a great host. There were no other guests when we came but we enjoyed chatting with him. He also went above and beyond at every opportunity (like giving us a lift from the bottom of the hill, because the roads are awful).
−It's hard not to like this place. It's fantastic. A few things to watch out for: It's the jungle so expect bugs. There is also no AC so it can get hot, though the evenings cool down to a pleasant temperature. The main thing is that the road up to the property is pretty terrible. Ask Marian for a lift, or walk up (it's not far from the main road).

+Lovely place if you like to stay in nature. Kind hosts that made my stay comfortable by picking me up and bringing me to town or the place where I can get a taxi from, since it's quite remote. Definitely worth it though :)
−Nothing not to like

“Exceptional”
+Marian was absolutely amazing, helpful and attentive. He made sure my stay was as comfortable, private and peaceful as possible. The location is beautiful, it is a little hard to get to but once you get there it is definitely worth the trip .

“Terrible access”
−The misleading best of this place is its location only because of the views, BUT BIG ISSUE HERE IS THE ACCESS TO THE LOCATION. The dirt road to the Hostel is very rough, muddy, slippery, full of potholes, rocks, steep ascents and descents and much longer than GMaps tells you. Before going we asked the owner if the Hostel was accessible with a normal rental car, he said the road was uncomfortable but normal cars came to the area and just follow the signs. Well if you have a 4x4 you are fine, but in a normal car I strongly advice you not to attempt it unless you want to get stuck in mud or much worse break you steering or the engine crankcase on a rock, pay a fortune to the rental company and ruin your holiday. The signs to the Hostel are also old, dark, blurry, half covered in vegetation and easy to miss, so do not even think to arrive at night unless you know the way by heart. Yes, other standard cars do make it, but this does not mean the road is good or in an acceptable condition, and you only need to look at the dilapidated condition of the local cars from the villagers around. Actually our way out we came across a French couple going to another nearby accommodation that explode

“Great hostel great vibez very far away from everything”
+The place is ran by a lovely German guy,very very accommodating and one of the loveliest hostels I’ve been in very well thought out and clean and amazing and breakfast was great too !
−It’s very very very far and isolated from everything to get to see anything the owner has to take you all the way down with his jeep every day cause taxis don’t go there and it’s very far and then to get to town you need like another taxi or two from there very very clumsy in that way,had to ask the owner also to help us get grocers since it’s so far from everything

“Superb”
+Marian was a very responsive host. The seaviews from the hostel are lovely. Breakfast was always very nice and nice sets of people arriving. Friendly atmosphere. Great place to chill. Marian also organises different activities. You have to get a taxi to Stony Hill Flats to get to the hostel. Marian will collect you. It is nice walking down. At night, you can see nice fireflies as one approaches the road to the hostel. Many thanks for your help, Marian.
−Probably best to get back at the time when Marian picks people up if the weather is rainy and it is late. May be a little strenuous for people not used to walking but you can also commission a taxi to take you to the hostel itself.

“Exceptional”
+Amazing vibes, really cool and helpful staff. Favourite place in Jamaica so far. You wake up in the middle of the jungle with the sounds of nature. Felt really safe and the view is amazing! Good WiFi as well. Excellent for solo travelers, the owner will give you a lift to town and back if you have no way to reach the hostel so location is not a problem. Also amazing breakfast, 10/10, could not recommend more!
