Beautiful house in the hills. The pictures of the location are accurate. This is the place to go if you want to support local Jamaicans. The hosts are wonderful and caring and genuinely want you to enjoy your stay.
We struggles with air conditioning and we understood that all rooms came with air conditioning. However this was not the case. We were moved to another room that was supposed to have air conditioning but it was also not functioning. Unfortunately we had to leave the next morning. Also there was a charge for soap. So we did not have soap to wash our hands with when we arrived. Something to make note of.

entrance and foyer’s nice and roomy
floor buckling,extra charge for air conditioning, ripped towels,black mold on bathrooms, poor satellite signal and host not being able to match up remotes. driver they recommend cost 30 dollars to travel 2 miles. advertising ocean view yeah about 4 miles away but they call that an upgrade. we were scheduled to stay 5 days we left after two home in need of professional work low water pressure hot water lukewarm toilets clog occasionaly

area was quiet....nice and cool at night
accommodation was not good....her son that helps her with the guesthouse was rude
my first night there....I left and came back to see a key in my door like someone was in my room while I was away....her son David says he was checking something out and had to remove some pillows from the bed as per policy
for the money you spend with not refund....the place is not ran like a proper business....plus they had family visiting the same time I was there and they got the better of everything
had a run in with him the first night I checked in with my plus 1 and was told he couldn't stay and had to pay money
had to ASK to get room/bathroom cleaned and sheets and towels replaced and changed
wifi stopped working in room....TV stopped working last few days of my stay...privacy was poor as anyone could look through the top of my room door and see what was going on in the room
nothing advertised was as it was and their no refund policy made the stay even worst as you were at their mercy as far as service went
they should be taken off the Booking platform so others don't have the same poor experience

I loved staying here! The house, the pool and the surroundings are magnificent, this is a perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the busy city life and get some rest. Joyce, David and the rest of the staff were very helpful and kind. I will definitely come back. Thank you!

Nice Villa, great View, very delicious food
You are absolutely dependent on a car, but they don‘t want to call a Taxi for you. So you they Drive you and charge too much for it. Our room (no. 2) couldn‘t fullfill our expectations we had behause of th pics. Room was small and stuffy, Balkony was separated. And Stuff is treated very bad without any Reason :-( Unforrunately we missed any warmth…

I spent 2 nights as a solo traveller at The Retreat Guesthouse, on my way to a yoga retreat. I needed a home-from-home atmosphere, rather than being in a huge resort, and the guesthouse certainly delivered that. Joyce and her son David have been here many years and really know how to make guests feel at home. David's cooking is very good, especially the breakfasts. They can't do enough to help their guests, especially solo travellers like me.
I was given a Seaview room that was nicely decorated and had a lovely view of the ocean. The pool is very clean and surrounded by trees.
If you do come to here, just remember it isn't Sandals (like, bathrooms are a little dated but super clean) and so don't expect that, but it's perfect for people who a want a more authentic Jamaican experience and want to support local businesses.
I didn't prearrange transport so it was a bit difficult to find a taxi. I should have used their recommended driver. If you come by taxi, get their number if you like them

Nice place close to our resort (we arrived to Jamaica a day early and needed a place to crash for a night). Great hosts and a clean place up on the hill. You are not walking anywhere, it's too far. But they served us a nice meal and had plenty of drinks. The accommodations were reasonably priced, but food and drink were a bit expensive.

Love the setting and David had good customer service.
One of the staff member was very poor in the customer service area. Also there was a problem with flushing the toilet.

I am traveling a lot, but this was the most beatiful house i ever slept. If you want to travel in time to colonial age, this is the right place. Also breakefast was one of the best i ever had.

The breakfast was so delicious. Miss Joyce is an amazing chef.
Everything was wonderful.
7.0
Location was good and property privacy was also good
Ac would have to be charged separately which didn’t make any sense to me and each room didn’t have its own mini fridge which was a little inconvenient
8.0
The breakfast and location were great. My family loved it. We also loved the sea view from our room and the pool.
There was an odd smell that came from the drain in the bathtub. We just keep the bathroom window open and spray inside and it was good. This is nothing that would stop us from visiting again.
7.0
The facility was clean and comfortable. We felt safe on property
We felt watched by the manager. We hated the fact that the manager speak down to her staff in our presence; that was a big turn off for us.

Nice location beautiful view . Private parking and swimming pool really nice. The room was big and loved the balcony.
Wished The room We stayed in had air conditioning because it was hot and although it had a ceiling fan and a floor one it didn’t keep the room cold enough.
9.0
The balcony view was amazing and the owners were great.
David was exceptionally great. Good customer service. The room was well kept and the bed was very comfortable. Joyce greeted us nicely and made sure we were settled in. David, her son was particularly engaging and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. I plan to go back. The area is off the road, private and surreal...very nice.
