Staying at Fay's was a wonderful experience. It was clean, comfortable, and affordable. It's within waking distance to many amazing cook shops, restaurants, and beach access points. Fay is delightful and also has a shop with incredible hand made items including paintings, wood carvings, jewelery, and bags. I would highly recommend!
Home away from home!!!! 😁 I felt like I've known Auntie Fay for a long time, she has a warm welcoming personality, peaceful and quiet environment once you are locked inside your room 🥳🥳, I slept like a baby on the second night , the first night I went out & never back in until the next morning so I missed out on that night's sleep 😂😂, comfortable bed, nice warm shower, the mini fridge was a real power house my water & juice was cool in no time... The landscape was beautiful, I could cry because I didn't get to take any pictures of its beauty because we were too focused on going to comfort our coworker..I would definitely visit again,.. Miss Fay may God continue to bless your business tremendously!!!!
It was a bitter sweet occasion as my visit to negril was to support my coworker who lost her Mom so we went for the set up & funeral 😞 I wish I could have stayed more days to really enjoy sitting on the veranda to hear the beautiful sound of the crickets at nights...
Localização ótima, da para ir andando até o ricks café e muito próximo do centrinho com o burguer king, kfc e mercados. Fay é extremamente preocupada com o bem estar dos hóspedes, o quarto é limpo e com tudo o que você irá precisar Obrigada Fay, conhecer você foi muito especial !!

Close to main West end road down a safe neighborhood area. Nice sized room with a small bathroom attached. Good sized porch/verdana behind gate surrounded by plants provides ideal sitting area to enjoy the fresh cool air of Jamaica. Fay, your host is an exceptional lady who has great Jamaican hospitality and vibe.
Faye a été une personne formidable toujours de bonne humeur - très bonne location de son hébergement tranquille - des taxis partagés à côté pour se déplacer
La douche
Fay is a great host, and she can be visitor guide too. Great place to stay with a big room.
Fay Guest House is clean, comfortable, and warm and welcoming. I like to bring my family here every time I visit Jamaica, and its accessible for all ages. Fay is genuine and kind and respectful to everyone. She is also accommodating to any requests and tries to help others out in every way she can. We look forward to seeing you again soon Fay.

* Fay is extremely friendly and helpful, come and suport local tourism by staying with locals and not in resort * everything is clean * safe parking in the garden
The hospitality of Fay the owner was amazing.
Fay did a great job showing us around the area.
I wish more things to see were within walking distance.
Safe and the host Fay is a very very wonderful person she went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Will be back for sure
Everything was perfect
Did not stay.It was appalling.
The location, After confirming the booking ,I arrived ,with no one to report to.. Given a number from a guest to call. After several attempts, I was told there is no vacancy.. I left to find alternative accommodation.
Fay was very good host ♥️🪽
We love the location (close to Rick’s cafe), the facilities (clean, quiet and comfortable) and the host (always helpful and accommodating). The kitchen is a welcome bonus, and very appreciated when available. Hope to return many more times in the future.
This property is a walking distance from various restaurants, shops & points of interest, including Sharks (authentic Jamaican food made with love), Value Mac (grocery store) & Rick's Cafe (great for watching the sunset). The bedroom is extremely spacious, and includes 2 fans, a refrigerator, cups/glasses, cutlery & more. The bathroom offers free toiletries, provides hot & cold water, and has a shower. Ms Fay's customer service, is second to none! She has such a warm & vibrant energy, she made my stay very memorable. She answered all queries I had, and also gave me information about Negril, and what to do/see. She picked me up from the knutsford express station, and also dropped me off, for a very reasonable price. When I needed to do my laundry, she drove me to the laundromat for free. Anytime I had a question & messaged her, her communication was spot on. I wish her continuing success in her business.
Nothing comes to mind!
Location great nice and quiet but close to places like ricks cafe and extabi restaurant and bar.seven mile beach also not far
Fay is an amazing host who treated me like family. The guest as well were like long lost kin. I wouldn’t only recommend you go stay at Fays because you can walk to just about anything you need and Rick’s Cafe is 4 minutes walking , but she honestly hands down was warm and caring. There is no place I’d rather stay and I will be back so Sister please keep my room ready 2 fans . One love , family
Everything was a plus
Warm welcome, great hospitality, location nearby good restaurants, local vibe. I liked the furniture in our room. We had a room with hot and cold water, but just cold water wouldn’t have been any problem since the weather in Negril is hot!
Nothing :-)
Close to Rick’s cafe
Water on the floor in bathroom and room temperature. Toilet so close to sink and bath, not a great design
Fay is incredible, she is really an amazing host and does everything to help you if she can and gave great recommendations. The place is really clean and good value for money. There is no A/C but the fans were good enough to keep us at the right temperature at night. The location in Negril is very convenient and the neighbourhood is pretty quiet and safe.
Nothing really, just not a proper hot shower available but that worked since it's really warm outside (and Fay offered to use another room that had higher temperature). Also be mindful that you have to pay cash, Fay took me to the ATM but if it can save you one trip..
I like the host she is very friendly and welcoming.
The place was filthy. There was no washing machine as advertised. The place needs a really good clean it’s disgustingly filthy.
Fay is always very nice helpfull and hapy easy to communicate , staying is like at the family there , i liked it so much last year that i came again this year Fay has also fantastic shop with art and handycraft
Everything was perfect
We staid fore one nigh and it was wonderful, Fay was a great host, so helpful, we will stay here next time..
Fay was exceptional, gave us amazing tips and was really helpful. We had booked last minute and she made it work.
There were a few issues with the energy and some rooms bath struggle with water. However, Fay is working on it and very early in the morning had a team checking all the installations.
Big room and very helpful and nice host who helped us a lot with tips. It's super close to Rick's cafe where you also have the closest opportunity to swim. There are a lot of restaurants and shops nearby. Besides typical noises like dogs it's a very quiet place away from the street. It's a mix of small AirBnB and a hostel where she lives in the next room :)
It's a 1 h walk to the beach/city center (a lot of cheap taxis / 10 min ride if you don't like to walk). Had some power problems for a few hours (but can happen everywhere in Jamaica). Upper floor is still a construction site.
We have stayed here multiple times, so not sure how much more to say (read my other reviews) except that Fay is a superb host who meets the need every time. Felt safe & secure. Access to kitchen & warm water were welcome bonuses.

Location is great, walking distance to Rick’s cafe, and Ms. Fay is a nice, humble, generous host who welcomes us every time and is present to solve any and all issues. Always a pleasure to stay here.

Very close to the caves and ricks cafe. Fey was very friendly
Trouble with the over head shower. But you get what u pay for
Great position near Rick’s cafè and cliffs
We loved everything about it, it’s a nice place, a clean place, a safe place near to the main road. Miss Fay is a perfect host, who works with us and is always gentle with us. She greets us, shows us respect and there’s never a fuss there. We feel welcome & look forward to seeing to her again every time.
Nothing bad to say
Unfortunately Fay was not present when we arrived. In fairness she did inform she might be at the shop. We did try entering the reception but it was locked up and did not appear has though property used so we were very wary. Fay cancelled without charging us so appreciate she had done this.
Fays Place is a home away from home. It was very quiet, clean, cosy and peaceful place to stay. Simple yet very comfortable I liked the layout of the apartment with the kitchenette. During our two weeks stay it was clean by Fay continuously. Walking distance to Rick Cafe and lots of lovely other restaurants, shops and bars. Negril Town is only a short taxi ride away and worth a trip. I visited Fay shop it got so much lovely stuff on sale. If possible, visit Quality restaurant for amazing local authentic Jamaican food, ice cold drinks and a lovely spot to swim. Overall, a wonderful holiday experience and Fay is an amazing host always helping and looking after us.
We loved how close it was to many shops and restaurants. It’s barely a 5 minute walk from the iconic Rick’s cafe.
On our first night, there was a leak in the bathroom but Fay dealt with it swiftly. There wasn’t much else that we didn’t like.
We were warmly received, great location (walking distance to Rick’s cafe), and also very much appreciated the room with kitchenette we had.

Faye the property owner was Friendly, warm and welcoming. The property is typically traditional Jamaican style. Faye personally showed us the local restaurant where we we eat twice as the food was amazing and fairly priced. The property is near Ricks Cafe. The whole experience was value for money
The local people in the area were very friendly
our room was comfortable and clean.

great hospitality
shower hose likely pop out. Not big deal though.
If u need a cheap bed and u dont expect a 5 star hotel, its the best price in the area.
Fay is the perfect host. She is very friendly and we felt super welcome! Location is great, Rick's cafe (and many other restaurants) are within walking distance. Very reasonable price.
The room and bathroom are quite small. The shower had no hot water during our entire stay, which unfortunately couldn't be fixed. However, Fay tried her best and gave a small compensation for it. FYI: There are many cats walking around the property and could enter the room should you leave it open.
Clean and comfortable room. Nice location and good area. Fay ist the best host. She gives you a lot of information about your journey and will do everything to make you feel good. We definitely recommend the place!
Unparalleled magnificence!Read all the other reviews.There is an obvious reason that ALL the reviews are stellar.What makes this experience different than anything you can EVER hope for is the passion and compassion of Ms. Fay.She becomes your family and is the ultimate ambassador of making sure that your happiness is HER happiness. For the TRUE hands on Jamaica experience…this is where you want to be
I like everything things about this property
there's nothing that I didn't like except that I can't wait to go back
I love the host, Ms Fay. She is kind thoughtful and a wonderful genuine person. She makes you feel at home from the moment you enter the property. This is my second stay at her place and I will return every time I come to Negril. The facility is safe and clean. The host is present and available at all times. The neighborhood is centrally located. It is very close to Rick's Cafe and various restaurants with a wide range of options within walking distance. The neighbors are kind and respectful. I love it here.
I am sad I have to go so soon.
Fay is as charming as her guesthouse. The neighborhood was easy to get to and from the beach using a low-cost route taxi. My kids loved the yard and felt very welcome. The little touches helped to keep us organized, including a laundry basket, paper towels, and sanitizer. There is Ricks Cafe nearby, two stores with basics, little shops in the lane, and Sharks (great food). Tensing Pen is just across the street if you want to use your savings at Fays Guesthouse to buy a nice dinner overlooking the water. I highly recommend it!
Everything was perfect.
Fay is the best host that you will ever have when in Jamaica. Her place is clean, cozy and really well located in Negril. Don't forget to take a look at her art store (5 minutes from the house).
Ms. Fay is a great host! I did not have cash available she facilitated transportation to local atm/bank. Gave us tips for local food stablisments. She is very nice person all around🫶 Can't wait to go back.
Street getting to Fay looked a little intimidating at 1st but neighbors were friendly and helpful as well.
Fay is a God fearing, hard working woman. She was very attentive and had a smile on her face every time I saw her. I would definitely recommend staying at her place. It’s right off West End Rd. across from Tensing Pen hotel. Many restaurants in the area and tourists.
Fay is the best host, I've met so far and I travel a lot. She's amazing person, handling everything by her own and taking so much care about her guests. For me it felt like a 2nd home for a few days. Even pick me up late in the evening when I had issues to find a taxi to return from a bar. Neighbourhood is save and very friendly people. Only 5 Min. walk to Rick's Cafe. Restaurants, Super Market, Bycicle or Motorbike rental also close by. This is not a Resort or 5 Star Hotel, but because of Fay an awesome private stay with the locals.
You'll need a taxi to go to the beach or city centre, but one-way with the drive by taxis (red licence plate, but the standard cars not the vans) only ~ 1,5 $. Westend Road is also too small for Airport bus you've to switch to taxi at city centre
Faye the owner was sooo nice and friendly. I’ll always remember her bright cheerful smile. The accommodation was in an awesome location near food, cute local bars and Ricks Cafe.
So lovely place fay is amazing :)
enjoyed hostess Fay, walking up to Ricks for cliff jumping and sunset. the reassurance, Sharks, at the end of the lane sever us a delicious dinner—my 2 year old grandson loved the shrimp
great Location next to ricks café 2 minutes walk I love this place I will be staying there my next trip
the property was wonderful
