The bar has everything you need. It is a friendly place to hang out our of your want, you can just enjoy the sunshine and views from the pool area.
The place is friendly and a home from home.
You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.

My baby had on a white socks and one time on the floor the socks was so dirty. Staff was not friendly there wasn’t much staff either just the host and his family. Interaction felt forced nothing felt genuine. The shower head was damaged! I was traveling from St Elizabeth with a young baby called and asked for directions or for shuttle pick up there were not much assistance there. I had to struggle through Kingston trying to find my way to the property myself. It was so far if you are staying there and don’t drive bring sufficient food and water, you won’t be able to order takeout. The bar is only open when the host is available. I hate writing bad reviews. But I guess for the cost you basically get what u paid. I wasn’t expecting a 5 star property but the level of unprofessionalism was unexpected at one point I felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome I just wanted to leave. If you don’t truly want to be in the service industry don’t, if you are doing it just for the money then that makes no sense. What put the icing on the cake, I went for breakfast I had my baby in my hand my room was less than a minute from where they served food the host/ person in the kitchen looked at me dry eyed and said he wants to see how I’m gonna bring the tray with the food and the baby. He offered no assistance I don’t know if it’s me but I felt as if he could have offered to take the tray for me to the room. I had to leave the food, go to the room put down the baby and come back. I was like wow!

It's located up on a hill in a very isolated area. It was a bit scary. There was nothing in the bathroom, no shampoo, no shower gel, no soap. The room had only the beds; there was nothing to put anything on. The structure was too basic! I wouldn't stay here again.

The view was beautiful and the property was clean, however, no soap or bathroom amenities were provided, very limited meal options, there was no tea area or mini fridge or kitchenet or any type of desk and chair or closet or dresser in the room, the pool was out of commission, the walls needed a face lift & basic maintenance to the room and although it was a private room, every single sound from the other person's room could be heard so I imagine they could hear us too.

Amazing views and the host offered me great insight into the area and history of Jamaica and Kingston

It is NOT close to the actual city. I would NOT use a rental car to commute there. Use a cab or Uber only. It costs about 10-15 dollars (US) each way to the Half Tree area and a little more for other popular sites.

It was clean and I felt safe the whole time

Bad Stay

We was suppose to be picked up at the airport but didn't see the driver and we waited as instructed. The place had a oder and if you don't like cats don't go because a kitten came into our room and im not a cat person only dog i like.There was a dead roach and alive one that was crawling on my feet. I had to pay for taxi service i didn’t receive. I will not be going there anymore or recommending to my friends and family to staying there. The only thing i like is they had hot water.

I called the day before and spoke with someone about confirming late check-in. Unfortunately nobody was available to check me in or answer any of my calls. I had a very long journey to this place and ended up having to stay with the taxi driver whome I didn't know. The worst part is the location was falsely advertised. The place was far from civilization.

No one told me that kings worth is high up in the mountain top, going up the mountain, i was so frightened i thought i was going to die. my entire stay, I was on the edge. Jamaica is a beautiful place along with its people. if you like nature and mountain climbing then stay at Kings Worth. I would say this only i continue my stay because of a young man who runs the entire place who’s name is TJ, he was very hospitable, and made me forget about everything else what was going wrong on my trip. Thank you TJ for everything you did for us. Bear in mind. It’s also very costly to get up the mountain and to come down the mountain each day. Make sure you take water and food up there, they have a share kitchen you can use to cook. the bathroom is very very old and out dated. If you are not in good health to walk up at least 50 or more stairs to your room, don’t book.

Stay in the jungle while in Kingston. The road leading to the property is amazing, like going through a tropical forest. Excellent views from our room and of Kingston. Just one thing, if you arrive late, let them know well in advance, so that they're ready to receive you.

The location is the uniqueness of this property, you are able to see multiple Parishes on the Island, and of course, to wake up every morning to the grandness of the Blue Mountain Peak and its ranges as the backdrop for your view is breathtaking. Hey if you want to conquer the great outdoors in one of the safest places on the Island then this is for you, want to Hike? do mountain biking or do your 5K or 10K run as I did? with cool the mountian breeze blanketing you up and down the peaks and valleys then make haste and book your spot.

Up in the mountains away from the noise of the city. Quiet and relaxing. Cool at night and shade during the day. When the shuttle picks you up you get a personal tour of the city while on your way to the property. The owner Courtney is super helpful and caring. Always checking to see if everything is ok.

The property was way up in the mountain. I did not like that, the property reported that they were closed to Bob Marley museum and that wasn't true. The parking was terrible none really, you have to park in a alley way with no security and you park at your own risk, if your car is broken into that's on you. The property advertised breakfast is serve however, I was told I can buy my own food and cook. I booked for 2 weeks and I never spend one day at hotel because it was too far for me to commute during the rainy seasons with land slides daily covering the roads to and from. It rained the entire two weeks while I was there. I did not feel safe at this property at all. The property did refund 1 week that I hade requested since I wasn't able to returned the keys until a week later. I am not sure if this will be a property I will ever visit in the future.

I never even entered the property because of its remote location, and having to climb up some rocks to get to the door with luggage was not conducive for me, so I just turned around and left.

I drove all the way up there to find that the property was empty, no one at the door, no one to respond anywhere. I had no phone or internet so after 30 minutes of waiting I left and had to sleep at a hotel near the airport. I contacted them and they were extremely rude and denied me a refund.
I’ve used Expedia all over the world and this is the first time I’ve left a poor review. I always look for the small remote places, and didn’t mind driving far to get here, but their carelessness and total abandon was truly disappointing.

This was a great location, however if you have never driven in Jamaica , I recommend using the shuttle especially if it is your first time. The view was breath taking, peaceful and serene. The owner what can I say? There is no better, Picked me up from KIN, gave me a grand tour and history of Kingston. He was super helpful and Knowledgeable. If you do no speak Patois/Patwah, you will understand every word that comes out of his mouth. I would definitely recommend staying here. I will be returning soon in Feb. 2019

Nice hostel but to me didn't feel like anything special. TV didn't work apparently because of the last guest but would be nice to maybe update that on the website...
Good that there is a fan, ok temperature at night, it's very humid but not too hot.
There is good hot water which is rare in Jamaica from what we saw :)
Around 20 minutes walk to the Dub Club so we walked there and took a cheap taxi back. Don't think it's such a good location if your main purpose is to visit Kingston. Fine place to stay at but feels a bit overated in my opinion
