The staff was helpful as they went above and beyond to ensure that, I was familiar with the tourist areas. Air conditioning is excellent and the lobby area is quite comfortable. Though my stay was short, I will definitely recommend the use of their services.

Quite an authentic place. The place I stayed in isn’t for the faint hearted, it’s like an outhouse (single with bathroom) that’s not fully outside proof so expect mosquitoes, there’s a stinky net but your legs will be bitten anyway. Generally assembled from bits and pieces which is hard to clean so not very clean, clutter and fabrics everywhere unwashed. You will be paying for a towel 6USD. No early check-ins even when empty. Up the hill, so if you enjoy hiking in heat this is ideal.

Wonderful time in Barbados

Jo was an excellent host. If you want to get along with him, you have to respect him and follow his house rules. He takes good care of his property, and he helped me a lot with tips to tours around the island. He is a good host and an excellent guide. The van nr.10, just behind Jo's house, will take you to Bridgetown in 15 min. A short walk down Gall Hill, and you are at Miami beach, a dreamy beach in Oistens. Don't expect luxury, but Jo's hostel has the perfect location in town. Jo, thanks for everything.

Excellent place to enjoy island life

I spent 7 days here at Jo Js. Facility has everything you need, clean, comfortable, and located in quiet Bajan neighborhood. Within easy walking distance of beach, Oistins, and buses that will take you anywhere on the island. Host John is an interesting man, well travelled and possess local knowledge for anything you could possibly want to do in Barbados. I would stay here again when I come back

In fact I didn't stay there. The studio I was taken to was nothing like the picture. It was tiny. The toilet/shower just a cupboard. I was offered a better room if I came back next day & that room would have been acceptable but Jo J was so hostile ordering my friend, who had taken me there, to get out. I left too.

The man at the hostel (JO J's Hostel) began with interrogation. There are clear differences between necessary questions (tourism and hospitality) and interrogation--there may or may not be an international investigation. Please kindly refund the money, Expedia, and thanks in advance for the consideration.
