The Owner was not very pleasant and polite. She needs to learn humility and be more hospitable. The room need to smell more fresh, floor needed sweeping because hair and dust was on it. Why did I pay $90 US just to sleep 4 hours until my flight was ready, just to feel like I am begging her to stay or like I am bothering her?
Place is okay but she needs to learn proper customer service.

I booked this property through Expedia under stressful circumstances — Barbados air traffic controllers went on strike, my flight was canceled, and I was stranded along with many other travelers. I found this listing, booked it, received a confirmation number, and paid for a taxi to get there.

When I arrived, the owner told me she had no room for me and that the property was fully booked. I had to advocate for myself and explain that I had a valid confirmation number and nowhere else to go. To her credit, she ultimately found a solution — another couple who had also booked that day agreed to share their two-bedroom unit with me, which I appreciated.

However, the overall experience left me uneasy. When I asked for a glass of tap water, I was told she didn’t have any and was offered a bottle of water for $2. I explained I was running low on cash since I hadn’t planned to still be in Barbados. She eventually did give me a bottle of water, but the fact that her first instinct was to charge a stranded traveler for water was off-putting.

Everything worked out in the end, but the process was stressful and unwelcoming. If you’re booking here, just know that there may be a disconnect between what the booking system reflects and actual availability — and that the hospitality experience may be inconsistent. Future travelers should keep that in mind.

I had a great stay at Shonlans where I got to experience the fortitude of a senior citizen running her inn very efficiently! Located close to the airport and to my surprise walking distance to The Ross University Medical School, which is surrounded with amenities for everyone. Starting and ending my trip from Shonlans made everything super easy. Thank you Maureen!

Upon arriving my taxi driver offered to take my bags. The host informed him that since I packed it I can carry it. She then followed me to my room and insisted I put away my things, while she watched. The room was outdated and filthy. There was no shampoo conditioner etc. I went to ask for water and was charged $5.00 for a bottle of water. When I asked for towels I was told it was a $10. charge! I later asked if there was in fact any shampoo etc and she said no. I asked to borrow some of hers and ater several moments of begging, she did let me borrow some. The shower was dirty. The bedding WAS NOT CLEAN!! there was stains on the sheets, and hair in the bed. There were no extra blankets etc to change them. When I returned the shampoo the host asked if i was done. I said um yes Im going to bed. She rudely replied Good. I have just arrived to Barbados to attend RUSM and this left a really bad impression and was not helpful in my overall stay until I secure housing. Host is elderly and perhaps needs more help around the premises.

The landlady was very rude. We arrived and she seemed annoyed, asking “do you have a reservation!?” Once confirmed that we did, she kept saying that she didn’t have it in her book. We had to tell her exactly what date it was booked before she found a box with the details. Even asking for the WiFi password was an issue. Not sure why she was so unfriendly.
Upon showing us our room, her first comment to us was “we’ve been getting bad reviews about how dirty the place is, so please inspect the room”. We inspected it and it was clearly dirty especially the bathroom. I pointed out 2 stains on the bedsheet and her response was “oh I don’t know how that got there” and then proceeded to ask me if my hair was dyed because a previous tenant messed up her sheets with their hair dye. The bathroom was so dirty I couldn’t believe she stood there and had the nerve to ask us if it’s clean! The sink and bathroom itself were brown with water stains and grime. The mats on the floor had clearly not been cleaned in ages, it was so dirty. Even for an overnight stay (for a layover in Barbados) I would not recommend this place due to the uncleanliness. It would be wise to spend an extra few dollars to stay anywhere else!

Good, clean beds and A/C, but all else filthy.

I'm sorry, but the place was dirty and kind of run down. It could be nice if they gave it a very, very good clean - the location near the airport is very good. But as it was, the bathroom looked downright menacing - complete with obviously unwashed sink (unwashed for a long time), dirty toilet bowl even with a few complimentary pubic hairs. I'm not even mentioning the very unmentionable toilet brush. Filthy bathroom mats.
To be fair, surprisingly, the bedding was clean and well-ironed and the bed was actually comfortable. The air conditioning was quiet and efficient and carrying no smells.
The owner is an elderly lady, she should get someone to help her and really take care of the cleaning. Fingers crossed the place picks up.
Practical note at the end - it is not possible to leave your luggage anywhere past the 12 o'clock checkout time.

The property is very close to the airport. Although the airport is in walking distance, there is no side walk along the highway so one would need a taxi once travelling with luggage.
The initial appartment assigned was not cleaned after the previous guest and the washroom was extremely dirty. However, the staff was very understanding and placed us in another room and apologized. This other room, although cleaner, more attention to detail could have been made. Rooms and facilities are out-dated but staff is very kind.

Not quite what we were hoping for

My husband and I just needed a place close to the airport for one night until the rest of our family arrived the next day. The owner Maureen was gracious enough to check us in at around 10:30pm, which is past their usual check in hours. To make sure this wouldn't be a problem, I messaged them about that prior to our trip and received a friendly reply. Even though all seemed really good when I communicated with Maureen, when we got there we unfortunately did not feel very welcome and it was all very awkward. The room was basic, which was expected for the price, and even though it wasn't as clean as I would have liked, we did have clean sheets and received clean towels. We had Room 23 which backs to the street and with the wooden slat door being the only thing between us and the outside, it felt like cars were driving through our room. Woke up numerous times throughout the night when a car drove by faster and I am a good sleeper. In the morning the interaction with Maureen wasn't any more welcoming but she was then kind enough to help us get a taxi back to the airport, which I was having a hard time organizing myself. After that point we actually had a very nice conversation and for the first time I didn't feel like she had a problem with us, for whatever reason. Even with the friendly ending, I will say that one shouldn't expect too much and even though the place served our purpose, it unfortunately wasn't a very pleasant experience for us, which I wouldn't do again.

I was nervous to travel far out. I will next time because they had a bus service to take you to and from the airport. This place was close to the airport and there's a petrol station on your way there but other than that you will need to get the bus/taxi service which cost you 3.50BD each person.
Everyone has their views about this place I read them afterwards and regret not to listen because the only thing I really wanted from this trip was for my luggage to be there until it was time to go to the airport as our flight was in the evening.
You get what you pay for. It's basic, but the electricity was cutting out for the TV. We were in room 23 so the main road was opposite us. If you are a light Sleeper like myself it's very distracting.
There is no tea/coffee facilities, fridge or kettle.
The air conditioning was working great.

Walking to airport is a no no as a busy highway and no sidewalk. Bus to the airport is infrequent and not reliable. Taxis or shuttle arrangements from here are expensive if ordered. The property is padlocked so you cannot get out the front fence in the early hours if the lady is not around. No key to get out if a fire - locked in. Pictures do not show how run down it is.
