+I like the cleanliness, the quiet location, walking distance to downtown and general hospitality of Mr and Mrs Smith
−In addition to the very economic cost of a room, Smith’s Home stay provides a lovely breakfast in a very warm and comfortable environment

“Wonderful homestay with nice AC room and large shower.”
+The staff was very helpful. Elvis and his wife Claudia were so nice and welcoming. They made a nice breakfast included in my staff and helped me in any way they could. Elvis took me to the airport for $50 USD. The AC works really good and the shower gets warm water very fast and the shower is very large!
−The shower tube kept flying off which eliminates most of the water pressure which causes you to stay in their much longer if you’re washing your hair. The location isn’t the best because you have to take a $5 taxi everywhere which can get very very pricey but ok for a few days

“authentic and nice way to stay in Georgetown within a homestay setting”
+the possibility to stay at a very local, typical Guyanan wooden house in a homestay environment - both bathroom and toilet are shared but I found them spotless clean - in the room you have a brand new fridge and a powerful air condition which served the purpose really well of keeping the drinks and foodstuff cool and the room fresh. - each morning the lady provided me a rich breakfast that kept me saturated most of the day - Elvis the host took me along to the Evangelical church one morning and that was pretty impressive to see how they praise the Lord and sing and are having a good time with their community - it is easy to get into town right to Starbroek market for sightseeing of Georgetown's main points of interest and back by one of the many minibuses that frequent the main road just in front of the homestay, very convenient and very cheap (GYD 140) to move around as taxis are quite expensive in Georgetown (around 15 USD for the same distance) - there is a chinese supermarket just around the corner - Elvis organized me the transport from door to door from his place to the ferry dock in time for the border crossing to Suriname by the ferry that only runs once per day and further
−Nothing to mention here. Just make absolutely sure you DO bring the amount in USD in CASH as you would need to pay your accommodation upon arrival in this currency. The reason I mention this is the following: While it is clearly stated in booking.com later in a message I was also offered by the host to pay by PayPal but in my case it was a drama. In the end it all went well and through but I understood it was a slight inconvenience for the host to be paid by PayPal. Still I somehow felt pressured to pay immediately (i.e. within the first 15 minutes after my arrival) even though I was staying there for 5 nights. I found that a bit exaggerated and in the end I think I would have be able to work out an alternative right on the morning next day which would have been less frustrating for all parts involved (By being forced to pay by PayPal on the spot in the end I was paying a hefty "commission" through the rather unfavourable exchange rate and the host told me he only would get the money in 3 weeks' time which almost made him flip out).

+I highly recommend this guest house. Mr Smith is very helpful and can arrange taxis if needed. The neighborhood is nice and quite, I highly recommend, also you can walk to the downtown like 10/15 minutes. I felt like at home, local experience and very economic for Georgetown.

“Terrible experience. Stay away!”
+Nothing! Terrible experience!! Stay away!! Though our booking was confirmed, when we landed to Georgetown, we were told by the hotel that they are fully booked, and refused to give the address to our taxi. We were left with nowhere to stay, owner Mr Smith had no duty of care! Never had such a bad experience! Maya (London)
−Everything. Rude owner! Unreliable booking! Bad business practice! Stay away!
