Germaican Hostel

This place is just beautiful. It´s located on top of one of the hills, in the middle of the jungle, close to the nice little town of Port Antonio. From the hostel you have a breathtaking view over the caribbean sea as well as Port Antonio. The owners of the Hostel are very nice and always made us feel very comfortable and at home. They also offer tours that are off the typical tourist track and gave us a lot of information about where to go and what to do around the area. The Germaican Hostel is a great place to chill and relax. It has a huge veranda with different chill spots like couches, hammocks and a swinging chair. There also is a big box ouside to play some nice and loud tunes if you feel like it. Inside there is a big kitchen that is well equipped and for everyone to share. Breakfast is included in the price and is freshly prepared every day. It´s an amazing variety of local fruits (depending on the season), vegan banana pancakes, bread and different jams, tea and coffee. It was really great and there always was plenty of food to eat. We were staying in a double room from which we could watch the sunrise every morning. There are a lot of nice little things to discover inside the house which create a great atmosphere and make it special. If you´re into playing games, there´s a huge collection of card and board games and also some music instruments you can use. Our stay at the Hostel has been a great experience and we will definitely come back to enjoy more of these great vibes up there. I totally can recommend this place to everyone. Thanks for everything and we´ll be back soon! :)

This is the greatest hostel I’ve ever been to! Marian is a great host and the house has only good vibes. The view from the hostel is gorgeous, so much that is hard to leave the place every morning, even to go see one of the numerous wonderful falls that you’re surrended by or to go swin at the beach. The area is wonderful to visit, quiet and wild (the best in Jamaica).

nothing really but I have to say that the road to get there is the worst I’ve seen in Jamaica: if you’re driving by yourself, I advive you not to get there at night the first day.

The views from the place are incredible, you really are away from it all and can properly chill and relax here. it’s easy enough to get to, with the host picking up from the bottom of the hill twice a day, or taxis will take you up. Breakfasts are great, two beautiful dogs and the best views on the island.

The owners and staff are European and they run this place just like a hostel in Europe, and they keep standards incredibly high here. Having worked in a few hostels myself I see the extra effort that goes into this operation and it’s greatly appreciated. I could write a short story about how good my experience was here but I will try keep it brief. The owners and staff are super approachable, humble and a happy team that are great to be around. Like some hostels in Europe a breakfast is included in the cost of your stay, and might I add not a basic one…the best inna Jamaica, you should come for the breakfast alone, I’ll not spoil it! The property is amazing and the views from the comfortable porch even more so, so much so I recommend that you get your supplies in town before you come up here and just spend your time chilling and enjoying the property, rain or sun it’s the best place to relax away from it all. A short walk from the property you can grab an inexpensive route taxi to town for supplies. The owners know everything to do and more in the area and are happy to share their knowledge and insights on the best things to do. I backpacked around Jamaica for 3 months and this was the best hostel I stayed at hands down, don’t even bother looking at anything else in Portland, this is the place to be!

Nada :)

The hosts: very nice/friendly/helpfull. Gave good advice. Relaxed environment. Clean, good breakfast.

Staff is amazing, so is the view and the facilities!

the location was very difficult because you depend on the car of the owners, luckily I only booked 2 nights there. The owners seemed fake and stressed. Several guests, including myself, were surprised by their changing personality. The last day they responded very unkindly. It didn't feel right. It appears that they are not well integrated in Jamaica. The local people spoke negatively about the place and a guide that the owner advised us ripped us off with money.

One of the cheapest place on jamaica en the best one
