Nice place to just chill out for a couple of days. If you want to go to places you will have to walk a lot or grab taxis.... Staff helped me with all my questions, which was nice.

Had a really good time here and the staff are always friendly and helpful.Only downside was the kitchen is pretty messy and the hostel is out of town a little bit. But all in all would definantly go back there again.Loved the pool.

There\'s a full kitchen to use and store food, a pool, hammocks, and its about a 10-15 min walk to major grocery stores and the main road. Easy to grab route taxi to downtown or whereever from there, and can often easily find taxis throughout the day on the street right right outside the hostel. Friendly staff, keep to themselves, lots of longer-term renters here as well while I was there.

I loved this place! as soon as you will get there you will feel like at home, Caterina and Julia are always there to help you and answer all of your questions. The house is simple amazing. I love the patio next to the pool as well as the great view of the ocean. You will be walking distance from everything: super markets, restaurants beach and more importantly scotchies (best jerk chicken place in Montego Bay). I LOVED THIS PLACE SO MUCH THAT I AM GOING BACK IN TWO WEEKS. i highly recommend it

We came as three college travelers. We liked this place with wonderful view of ocean. We felt comfortable with friendly people around. it was so easy to relax by the pool outside. It was very laid back environment. It was little messy but it wasn't so bad that it really didn't bother us. I still recommend you to go there to have a good chilling time!

The birds nest could be mistaken for a 4* star hotel, the staff were friendly & helpful, the property was very clean & modern, the atmosphere was very calm & welcoming. The garden was nice too as well as the pool We had last minute guests that wanted to join us & they were accommodated & welcomed, we only stayed 1 night, we checked in late & had to check out by 12 but was still allowed to use the pool until we were ready to leave, location was good too with airport and shops not too far away.

I really loved my stay at the Bird's nest. Some places in the country can be quite loud with noise from other people in the area and this is not. The pool was a great advantage & the other guests were really friendly & we watched films together in the evening.

The grounds were very nice, however to go anywhere you have to walk a mile to the main road... and charging that much for a dorm they could at least include breakfast, since for that price you could almost get a private room another place.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you for your review! The highway is a mile away, however you can get a route taxi easily right in front of our door, as this is the main road in Ironshore. You were here during the high season (01.01.2012) which we only extended until January 7th not until April 15th like other places. Breakfast is available for USD5 and you can choose from a variety of options. Private rooms are available for an additional 10USD per person.
