We stayed at Gail Hill for one night in transit from another island back to the US. The location is close to the airport and within walking distance to Oistins Fish Fry so we could enjoy one final night of our vacation. The location is very convenient and John was welcoming and helpful providing directions to town and ensuring the taxi arrived on time for our early pickup the next morning.

John Durant was extremely nice, We appreciate the use of his Guest House. Our entire family bonded more and we attributed that to such a relaxed environment. We definitely had a great cultural experience.

The location was advertised as being in a nice community but Gall hill is actually a dangerous area. His house is just on a decent street. Thankfully I have family that lives close. I wouldn’t want to walk to the beach alone without a guy with you as a lady. He gave us a special for breakfast and dinner everyday, but he tried not to make dinner one day. when we fixed the issue, he was rude ever since, almost rushed us out the house for checkout. He even asked the driver why he was giving us a deal which is just petty. Don’t upset him because he would be rude the rest of your trip. The beds were nice, there is no a/c in the mainroom though. The food was decent some meals better than others, and make sure that your group is sitting at the table or he would think we aren’t ready (even if you are going in and out the dining area waiting on him). Overall I wouldn’t recommend simple because of the lack of professionalism after there was an issue. I understand you have a disagreement, but as a professional you shouldn’t let that affect the rest of the guests stay, especially if the issue was giving us what we agreed to. It is still a nice place for the price just depending on the type of group you’re bringing

Lots of beds and rooms, since the owner let us use a fifth bedroom. Suited us perfectly since we were two families (10 people including two small children). Nice with AC during the nights. With car just a few minutes to beaches, grocery shopping and restaurants. Most evenings were spent in the open dining- living room area. We had a wonderful Barbados experience!

Good location with ease to shopping and roadways to the rest of the island. The home is well equipped for home cooking and comfortable accommodations. John is very helpful and accommodating. This is a very reasonably price location in a very pricey destination. Most reviews write about the difficulty in finding the location, it’s google and apples error. The location and placement on maps is incorrect. We asked a nearby resident who jumped in his car and lead us to the house. We recommend Jo J’s. Thank you John!!

We had an amazing time staying at John's! From beginning to end he helped us to make sure we had everything we needed, even if we hadn't thought of it, yet! We had four bedrooms on the main floor. He is a professional chef, and cooked delicious Bajan cuisine for us, at a much lower cost than going out. Being a chef, his kitchen was fully stocked, which also allowed us to cook for ourselves, which made everything easier, especially having children with us. The rooms were each air-conditioned, and we definitely made use of the laundry room! He helped arrange transportation to and from the airport, and gave us great tips for getting around. We walked down to the beach and grocery store several times, and could catch a zedar nearby. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful, and really looked out for us while we tried to find our way around. The kids loved chasing lizards and seeing the chickens around. If you go, consider leaving some food or clothes behind, as John and others around help redistribute things to people in need around Barbados!

My friends and I usually have a staycation at the end of each year. This year was the 7th time doing it and John has been the best host out of all by far. He was always around when he was needed. Always friendly, always helpful, always sociable. We always had great conversations with him. He was flexible with different people staying over on different nights and even offered us an extra night, free of charge! Quite plainly, he is the perfect host. Originally, I had booked for one day but after staying the first day, we all wanted more and John allowed us to stay for 2 more days. The guesthouse itself is great. Visually beautiful, inside and out. Very comfortable furniture and beds. Great WiFi speed. Cameras for security. Kitchen was clean and fully stocked. Plenty of beds if you plan to have people over, which we did. Fully functioning A/C units. There are so many good things to list, that if I listed them all, I would probably just be doing another property description lol. The guesthouse's location is ideal for tourists and locals alike. It's a quiet neighbourhood, just a few minutes drive away from Oistins and the rest of the south coast, which is the liveliest coast in Barbados. There's a nice breeze out that side so we never really had to use a fan. We just left the front door open. The neighbours are friendly so don't be afraid to say Hi to them. And on top of all of this, John is still working to improve the guesthouse, with plans for a gazebo and jacuzzi! TL;DR: It's a great place. Everything that's advertised and more. Great for large groups and parties. John is the best host you ask for. You should definitely stay here. I definitely will again!
