조 제이스 호스텔(JO J's Hostel)

Firstly, that property is not in Oistins, it is in a community call Gall Hill, which locally is considered the projects/ghetto, hence not the safest place. Secondly, it was very clear that I was not expected as there was no one to greet me - the property manager was nowhere to be found. Thirdly, the place was unkempt with overgrown, poorly maintained shrubbery and just general untidiness. These pictures must have been from years ago as the property looks nothing like the pictures. This is the epitome of misleading and false advertising. I was out of there in a flash, and ended up having to pay $140 BBD in taxi fare alone trying to find alternate accommodation. I also had to pay another hotel $137usd for a last minute booking. The property is truly worth the price and even less. Would definitely not recommend!!

The place is nice and close to the airport and close to oistins and very peaceful. Would recommend to anybody.

Just spent 10 nights at jo j's found it friendly gwendelyn especially helpful, but for me a little out of way because it was high up, overall probably would go back

My husband and I had some business to attend to in Barbados and because of COVID we had to go a week in advance. The hotel we quarantined at didn't have vacancy for the duration of our stay so we decided to complete our extended stay at another resort. We searched and found Jojo's for $64 a night. We got to the hostel and from the entrance of the property we knew we made the WRONG WRONG choice. The entrance is OVERGROWN. You can barely see the door. There was no one to welcome or attend to us. We were told the night before the manager would be there to welcome us. We had to call the owner ( he lives in Florida) He told us the door was open. What kind of customer service is that. Upon entering the hostel we noticed how unkept the place was. The patio and patio furniture was dusty and dirty. The room was VERY VERY VERY dated. Not 2017, 2016, or even 2015. More like 1990. The linens and towels were thin from overuse. I guess he thinks that because the room had a flat screen tv and air conditioning that its up to date. The place is his dwelling house that he poorly converted into a "guest house". The place isn't secure and very unsafe. Its in a residential area and its not close to any thing. No kidding...... While we were outside waiting on the manager that never showed up a guy dressed in a fitted sheet as pants walked by. Lol. It can happen anywhere but that was my experience. There was a small kitchenette next to our assigned room and it smelled really bad. We did not feel safe there so we called him and told him we could not stay there and requested a refund. He agreed. However, after i gave all the reasons I couldn't stay at his place he got offended and is now refusing to refund me. If you think I'm kidding ill post the WhatsApp conversation we had. He had the audacity to ask me if I took pictures. I didn't stay at his place that long. I didn't want to catch denque from all the mosquitos However my GOD IS IN CONTROL We found coconut court hotel for $104 a night. What a delight. I truly recommend. I don't know about you guys but whenever I travel I demand to be safe and comfortable and that establishment is neither.
