Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very friendly staff, the host is available by phone. The rooms were very modern und elegant. Very comfy beds, modern bathrooms. Everything clean and fresh. Strongly recommend it.
We liked everything about the property. The location was perfect, very pleased with the room, extremely good value for money. Communication with host was efficient and reliable. Staff on site very warm and friendly. The pool was a lovely addition, We felt so comfortable we extended our stay an extra night. we will definitely stay there again
There was nothing we didn’t like. For the price we paid the facilities exceeded all expectations.
Clean and good location
Nothing
All was great. We loved the pool, the cuisine, AC. The bed was comfortable. We ha got an upgraded room. Wonderful.

The host was kind enough to give me an upgrade. The beddings were quite comfortable, and the shower pressure was great. The location wasn't ideal for me personally, but it's actually a 10‑minute walk to the local business center with decent coffee, so I can't really complain.
The smell in the lobby was quite unpleasant, and there was no coffee or tea available in the kitchen. The air conditioning and light controls in the room were rather confusing.
My family liked everything
My family and I loved everything. Ms. C is also a blessing to this place
A localização da acomodação é muito boa e o contato com Lavern foi fácil e rápido. Ocho Rios é uma joia da Jamaica e com certeza vale a pena visitar! Todos os funcionários foram gentis e educados conosco.
Não há nada a declarar.
Everything
The location, quiet, it was secure and the cleanliness of the space.
The pillows, TV but we had to use our Netflix account, room could be darker, no remote to control the Ac and nowhere to hang wet clothes.
Exceptionally clean and great location, easy parking and even Netflix.
It was all perfect
It was a beautiful property and walking distance into town with good views
Lavern was erg behulpzaam en flexibel. De locatie is erg goed, niet ver van het centrum en de Champion supermarkt maar in een rustige woonwijk.
De slaapkamerdeur die niet dicht kon, de parkeerplaats van grote trucks op het terrein tegenover de Airbnb.
Walking distance to stores and the beach. The pool was great!

Very pleasant staff and host 👌...all the guests were friendly...the pool was spotless and a few minutes walk from the town center....very central...AC and hot water...Cable and WiFi...the sound of the crickets were relaxing....The King sized bed was very firm and i had a good nights sleep...nice location
There was no doggies to play with lol
The location was good and the room was clean.
There was no AC remote and the temperature could not be adjusted. The host suggested that we were being fussy and could just turn off the AC when not needed. This wasn't practical to do while sleeping. Also the temperature was set at 18 degrees Celsius which meant we had to stay underneath the blanket. The TV remote wasn't functional either and we couldn't watch Netflix as planned.
Clean
Noisy location
Clean and comfortable, great location to stay
Very clean and secure with real friendly and helpful staff
Room was clean and nice
Weird and long check in.
Muy limpio y ordenado , buena ropa de cama y excelente baño
Un poco la ubicación , los acceso de la calle
Hienot yhteiset tilat ja varusteet. Hiljainen.
luottokorttimaksu ei jostain syystä onnistunut
La Signora è stata disponibilissima e molto carina . Ha sempre risposto al telefono. La colazione pagata extra era super. Camere e appartamenti puliti. IL posto è silenzioso. Per andare in centro paese abbiamo usato il nostro bus.
Only stayed a night. Wished I stayed longer :/. Nice area. Good AC :)
A quiet place at night to sleep
The deposit for gate key
I like the environment and the peace
There wasnt any access to the wifi and the television didn't have a lot of movie channels
The property was very close to town, clean, and truly felt like a home away from home. We had no complaint
There’s was no complaints
Everything was as expected, very responsive and nice staff. Would visit again!
Miss Lavern and her staff are the most welcoming people I’ve met—they made me feel right at home and were so incredibly helpful. I highly recommend A Taste of Jamaica Laven's Place. if you'ere looking a safe and comfortable place to stay within easy reach of the town centre.
I didn't get to mange to stay as there card machine was down. Still got charged via booking. Com. As the issue wasn't on my side but continue to take money for a none stay. Wasn't happy with the booking service.
Nothing i liked contact the team not understand or helpful. Just wanted the money. Poor service.
Cleanliness and good communication for airport transfer.
No hot water while they are telling us to fix it. The room was very small and difficult to find it. The location is 10 minutes from main street passing by dark roads. Not recommended.
Located near the town, walking distance Near to all the attractions The rooms are nicely decorated The staff was nice
Location is great Pool on the upper floor
It was easy access away from the busy town, comfortable and friendly
The TV is a bit too high on the wall, the wires can be more neater, and there some dust on the bed head.
The property was clean and everything I expected it to be. The owner( Miss Lavern) and her staff were welcoming and made me feel at home. I would recommend A taste of Jamaica Lavern's Place.

I like how it’s convenient / felt safe / close to amenities
The bathroom felt really small.
Everything was great
I like everything
Staff were lovely. Clean. Spacious.
Loved the pool, great location the place was clean beautiful view from room 6
Shower head in room 6 could be changed, didn't have any hot water in the bathroom,
We really liked the design of the room, it was very comfortable, and that everything was relatively in one area/not far to get to. The kitchen, balcony, bathrooms and pool were great as well. And the host was lovely. Really good vibes!
The AC in the room could have been a lot colder, and we were having some issues controlling the temperature. The living room/kitchen area was very, very hot, I think it might need more ventilation... an ac or even a fan. It was hard to bare in comparison to the bedroom itself. All facilities are good aside from those issues.
What an amazing place. Managed by an amazing family. You feel so at home. It’s about 20min walking to the beach and town, very doable during the day. The place is spotless.
There is some construction going on during the day but nothing crazy.
Great hospitality, wonderful hosts, fantastic service

Tudo amplo e limpo. É no centro da cidade. Pretendemos voltar em breve.
Eveting the location the environment was clean the host was nice I will stay there again and again
Struttura accogliente in una zona tranquilla, non lontana dal centro
The house was clean and cozy the owner is amazing and I definitely felt comfortable. The pool area was very nice I was super relaxed.
The environment was clean and secure, host was warm and respectful. Wish we had more time to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Someone reported to the host that we had a pet (no pets policy) when they saw my husband playing with a cute stray puppy. Fortunately the host isn't gullible and we avoided having to pay a fine.
It’s was clean tidy and centrally located

I liked how spacious the front yard was, the whole facility was great... Rooms were great all so...
My only problem was the wifi not working well....
The host was great. Everything was good. Nice comfortable place to have a family getaway. Kids really loved the pool.
Spacious apartment. Very secure as everything, including our car, was behind a locked fence. A long walk got you to the town centre, which was handy.
Many things didn't work initially. The gate out front, the front door, the air conditioner, and the television all had remote problems at one time or another. The owner wasn't available, so we dealt with several people getting into the property and solving our concerns during our stay. Not ideal.
Area is calm it's very home away from home vibe. Would look forward to come again.
Had a great time, place was clean, host was amazing
Location was excellent as you're not far from local stores and great for sight seeing.
Not much really it was a nice experience.
This property is perfect. It’s better then the photos. Huge apartment for a mini break. Great bedrooms and bathrooms. All modern appliances. It’s a 10 min walk from the heart of all the music and people. Great little safe neighbourhood. Lovely neighbours. Perfect . And the staff are there to help . Perfect perfect perfect
The shower in the second bathroom didn’t work.
Taste of Jamaica was a very pleasant stay. Good location, close to shops and restaurants, very secure, clean, cool (there’s AC), quiet and comfortable. WiFi was good, bathrooms were roomy with hot water and toiletries, and it had a spacious living/kitchen area. We stayed for only 1 night and would stay again. The host communicated everything well and answered all my questions. Thanks for a very comfortable stay!
Very clean and beautiful house about 15 walk to the town centre. Easy check in and have a housekeeper that can do your laundry for a small fee. You have access to a big kitchen with everything you need with a fridge and air con in the room. Oh and there's a nice balcony and a pool. We had a great time and would stay again. Very good price if you don't mind a small walk into town..Thank you
This was definitely a great pick! I walked to the beach, and town almost quite cool and touristy, taxis pass outside the premises so sometimes traveling is easy.
My room had just enough for my stay, small soaps shampoos conditioner and fridge etc… The WiFi was not good at all when changed rooms and then on the 2nd floor I was unable to get WiFi I had to sit in the hallway trying to connect to Digicel to fix my data plan.
The location was great walking distance to the center of town.
The pool was amazing , but should have been heated . It ws very cold . So no enjoyment . That was the only down fall.
The manager is the friendliest and most helpful person, saved our trip by supporting with some rental car issues.
Every thing the views scenery
It was clean.
We didn’t get a tour, we had to walk around to find the pool. The person that checked us in, just did the basic check in. We could hear people from our room, therefore, I’m sure they could hear us from ours. The shower drain was slow.
Nil for breakfast location was feasible
Flying insects but overall was a good stay.
We didn't know it was a shared space until we got there, we had our own bedroom which has a bathroom, but everything else was shared which came as an inconvenience to us. It was very clean and we felt safe
