Nice place. Sue is super friendly and helpul, place is very clean, very safe. It feels like living in the rain forest :) It's a little far from the main road, you have to walk uphill for 10-15 min to get back there. Free pc with internet would be nice.

Thanks for taking the time to review me, 10 mins walk down & up a very beautiful community to the sea, but gives you a real feel of a real Jamaican community can be a plus too! You could also have got here in a route taxi for an extra 50 cent US on top of the 1$ price. Tried the free PC but it was abused, but $1US for an hour usage is not too bad I think? Love the rain forest comment but was a little disappointed with the 2 for facilities, but your honest opinion which is great. One Love!

Thanks for taking the time to review us Anne it was really nice of you. The low cleanliness grade is a bit sad as me & Miss Hyacinth work very hard at keeping the place clean. Future backpackers do need to note that this hostel is self catering, self cleaning. If your room/bed is not clean on arrival tell me. After that it is your job to look after it. The same with the bathroom and kitchens, you use them and you all have a communal responsibility to keep them clean! One Love Anne!

I had a very nice stay at The Judy house. Sue the owner was really helpful with all kinds of tihngs. Me and my friend stayed for about 4nights and we had a great time. Really good location, about a 20min walk to 7mile beach but its totally worth walking. ur walking besides the lovely water and just a cab away is Ricks Cafe. Close to stores, restaurants and everything. Even a smaller beach!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Judy House. The international atmosphere there was really nice and the staff was really really helpful. The airline company lost our luggage and Sue (the owner) helped us a lot and took care of everything (telephone calls, fax, ...) for us, while we where enjoying Jamaica. Also, she knows the island perfectly and she gave us some excellent advice. Our room was alright, clean and it looked like we were in the middle of a tropical garden. 100% recommended.

The quaint little cottages at the Judy House were comfortable, clean, and affordable. Of the five hostels / guesthouses I stayed in while visiting Jamaica, this place was maintained the best. Each bed had a mosquito net which was great. The only downside was that the neighbor's chickens were quite loud at night and in the early morning.
