Amazing views over the mountains. A bit far from the beginning of the peak trail so adjust your departure time accordingly. Lamoy was super helpful, he got me the entrance ticket the day before the hike and the breakfast was delicious ! Excellent wifi too.

Big thanks to Jay's Guest House up in the Blue Mountains! They were extremely helpful with anything we needed, whether it be food, information, transportation, etc. Donette was very kind and welcoming and made us feel at home. Her food was also delicious and servings were generous. They arranged a driver to pick us up at 2am and drive us up to the trailhead through treacherous terrain to begin our hike, and he was patiently waiting to pick us up for breakfast upon return. They also offer authentic blue mountain coffee that they grow themselves, and for an additional fee you can tour the coffee farm. I recommend their guesthouse to any adventurous travelers who visit the island. Big thanks!

The price is realy to mutch for what it is they also ask 60 euros for a ride from 20 minutes it is better to walk if they didn't aks that mony the it can be a realy great place with a lot of toerist but now nobody come because it's only for rich, I only did it because I want to see the blue mountains but al the monie you spent for just a place to sleep is not worth of anything you pay 34 euros for a room with 6 other people's with no locker when I was there I was alone but come on man that's a lot of mony

The Jackson family and everyone working at the guest house were really friendly and welcoming. It was such a treat to have lovely homecooked meals and Sandra took into account all our dietary needs. This is the perfect place to do the Blue Mountain Peak hike, which was stunning. The beds were super comfy!
It would have been good to have some more outside space to relax in that wasn't under cover.

The view was amazing but that’s not the best part. The family is really nice and will take care of you very well and are nice company!

Family run stay as close as it gets to the beginning of the trail

Food was really good, nice walk around. Friendly people
Over overpriced. No road acces, stuck with a 60usd transport. (we paid this price to cross the whole country with different lift). Really small room, no hot water, for the price and the quality of the bedroom, it's way too much .

Excellent location to get on to the Blue Mountain Peak. We stayed in the newly built Jay's Guesthouse 2 in which we had a very nice room and terrace with view of the Blue Mountains. Great Breakfast and Dinner, too. Last but not least, the host Angela and everyone else were extremely nice and made this a very memorable part of our travel to Jamaica.
If you want to do a tour at the Mavis Bank Coffee Factory (which is located in the middle of Jay's Guest House and Kingston) make sure to book it in advance.

Maybe the kindest people in Jamaica. Miss Jacksons smile and laugh was a special highlight for us. Very authentic experience. The house was nice and clean. The guesthouse arranged a tour to the summit of blue mountain with sunrise and we had a great trip.
The food was good and was made of local and traditional Jamaican crops.
If you want more comfort then you can book at Jays number two guesthouse.

Amazing experience! perfectly located near the Blue Mountain trail. Jay did everything he could do to make our stay as comfortable as possible and organised everything so we could hike to the peak!
The whole Jackson family were very welcoming with lovely home cooked food and a great room
with an excellent shower, perfect for after the hike!
Transport transfers were good and easy and can’t forget about the coffee, don’t miss out!
highly recommend for Blue Mountain visits!

mr and mrs jackson are incredible hosts. and the dinner was totally delicious 😀 the guide up the peak was fantastic in terms of knowledge, patience and great company. the driver to/from Kingston was great.
nothing! I loved my short stay. I stayed at Jay’s guesthouse 2 which is still under construction and will be a fantastic addition once completed.

The time at Jays was a
Wonderful experience, it’s super chilled and the views are some of the best I’ve seen in the mountains. Jay and his family are so accommodating and warm, it’s like being at home. Jays knowledge of the local areas is integral to your experience there, he knows all the best adventures to go on. The coffee he grows and roasts himself is probably the best coffee I’ve ever had too.
4.1
The family is very simpathetic, and reliable. They prepare everything for you to feel like at home. It's a good place to stay if you plan to hick the peak. All prices (transport until the Guesthouse etc) are said by Jay so you don't have any surprise about it. It's necessary to let your car In Mavis Bank because the road is impossible to drive on without a 4x4... The breakfast was prepared by Jay's mother and the children were here too, it was huge and perfectly cooked after the 9 hours hick! Try Jay's coffee, very tasty ++
Such nice moments we won't forget.
4.1
- All the family is very welcoming
- The food is very good, and you can taste an amazing local coffee from the yard.
- You can experience how to make a coffee by yourself. So proud to bought the coffee I roasted myself :)
- The view is so nice and the trail is not far away.
Met our expectations for an accommodation located in the middle of the Jamaican mountain. Be aware you have to pay US$100/200 to go there from Kingston or Mavis bank, the road is rough. You can try it if you’re an experienced all road driver though.
