Eko Cozy Guest House

The lady tht pi ked us up, Gloria was above awesome. Welcoming, patient and very detailed 👌

Muy limpio y su gente del staff súper amables

Que en la publicidad parece un departamento y en realidad es un hostel

The room was very well designed.. Had absolutely everything, absolutely no complains there.. but...

1) Location.. Not sure why I ended up booking this location, quite odd place from bus station, and very far from Quay. 2) Staff. I needed an early morning cab to airport, and seeing the oppurtnity I was told that i need to give 2.5 times the rate :)... I btw manged to get one, from my contact. Next, I was for sure charged around £20 extra.. and no one cared to address or explain it.. anyways, I gave up :)

Convenient location for the town.

We were picked up from the airport and asked to pay 20 US, which was reasonable. I expected to pay the same for our ride to Jolly Harbour the next day as the distance is similar. But when we enquired we were told it would be 50 US ! We picked up a taxi on the street which charged 20.

Everything also walking distance to the town

I liked the friendliness off the place and the staff. It was well maintained and a safe place to stay in.

Don't know maybe a timer on the air-conditioning.

Inget fel på rummet.

Ägaren tog pengar från mitt kreditkort efter vår vistelse! Han har manuellt skrivit in siffrorna och sedan tagit en godtycklig summa. Han bedriver även en taxiverksamhet men höll sig undan när vi skulle betala taxiresan kontant. Han har tagit en extra summa för en annan taxiresa där vi hade ett överenskommet pris. Även vad gäller boendet har han lagt på en summa. Så priset vi fick från Booking stämde inte.

Friendly owner, clean place, comfortable bed, basic kitchen appliances in the room, as well as in the shared kitchen. Nice little outside seating areas. Quiet location, walking distance to the ferry. You can also rent a car from the owner should you need one.

Not much space in the room to move around, the on suite bathroom was a bit uncomfortable (really just a lil plastic box in the room, kinda see thru and if you wanna take a shower, everything gets wet and the room gets humid) so we opted for the shared bathroom in the hallway. The fan in the shared kitchen didn't work and there aren't many plates/bowls etc.

la camera non aveva un vero bagno ma c'era stata montata dentro una cabina doccia che conteneva anche lavandino e WC, una cosa mai vista l'host non c'era quando sono arrivato e il suo unico interesse era proporre il servizio taxi per l'aeroporto o per le spiagge, e alla mia domanda se ci si poteva andare in bus mi ha detto di no, cosa non vera perché sono andato in bus per poco (2 dollari contro i 70 che mi aveva chiesto) non solo alle spiagge ma anche in aeroporto (2 dollari anziché 20)

No breakfast provided..neighborhood not desirable

Surrounding neighborhood unkempt..parking a major issue

Good

The property was a nice

Very comfortable

Friendliness of staff and proximity to downtown St John's

Shared bathroom though it was necessary in my case as the better of the 2 available options

Nice and comfortable

The app said once price when you got to the location it is a different price

N/A

The apartments were very nice and well-prepared when the maid was working, but the service left a lot to be desired. I booked three apartments for six people over two separate stays. The owner arranged a taxi but arrived with a four-seater, blaming licensing issues, despite Tortola being full of larger vehicles. He also informed us, only at pickup, that our family would be split up because previous guests extended their stay. The alternative apartment was not "close by" as claimed but required a cab ride. The rooms, all of which were booked for 2 people, had 1 towel and 1 flannel. We were to learn on our second stay that you have to ask if you want more. During the first stay, we had no hot water and a blocked toilet; during the second, there was no water at all later on the first evening until the next day. Some in our group booked a trip to Stingray City through the owner for $60, but were later charged an unexpected $160 for transport. After that, we found a professional six-seater taxi driver who charged half the owner’s rates. Upon checkout, the owner tried to get me to sign two credit card receipts for an unrecognised amount significantly higher than the rental cost, claiming it was payment. I pointed out that he had been paid in January, the amount was different and he had provided no details of how he reached the amount. He persisted until I pointed out that, if I signed the receipts, I would in effect be approving a further payment (of $1200) at which point he backed off. In short: lovely apartments, but be careful and clarify everything upfront and double-check all costs.

Prince and Jassy is one of best host l have ever met, very approachable, humble, and they takes their time to attend to our needs, the guesthouse is very reasonable in price and very very clean and close to everything in St John's, Antigua. I will recommend the guesthouse to my friends, thank you Prince and Jassy

Nothing

This owner is a thief, he pretexted the rooms where all rented, drove me to another locations, and asked me to pay more, when i said, i do not agree, he threw me out of the house and i had to walk about three miles, to fond a police car, who helped me to find another hotel, his excuse that the credit card didn't work is invented!! Worcest expereinece ever!!!!

Clean, comfortable, great host. Perfect location to town.

Nothing

The chicken keep on making noise all night some thing need to be done other then that nice

It was a walk away from town

That they came in to clean the room with out us knowing

Good location for accessing town and ferry port. WiFi worked fine. Airport transfers easy to arrange with Prince. Lots of facilities.

So very very clean the manager and his staff’s are awesome. Make Yiu feel like. Family renters were available and excursion were available by Prince the. Owner

Good location for a stopover.

Too pricey for what you get.

It’s a lovely cheerful cosy property, with basic amenities but exceptional clean and a very comfortable bed. Prince the host was a gentleman very friendly and welcoming

Very clean and comfortable. Good Wi-Fi. Somewhat remote location in residential neighborhood. Few nearby restaurants. 2.5 miles to closest beach. Prices in Antigua are higher than San Francisco or New York City. Reasonable cost. Daily housekeeping by Jasmine, a very friendly person.

Clean room with decent amenities. Reasonably close to the centre.

Host was an hour late picking me up at airport even though I messaged and emailed 3 times with my arrival details and was told he would be there. I wanted to take my own taxi but he told me to wait. When he eventually arrived that hour later - and without any prior warning or communication - he tried to take me to a different accommodation from the one I had booked. Apparently my original room had recently been fumigated but the other location was way out on the outskirts of town and twice as far from the centre than the original place. It would have been a huge inconvenience. A big argument ensued and I was finally brought back to the room I had booked. I got the keys and went out but when I returned I couldn't get into the house because the host had failed to tell me that I also needed a door code! So from outside the house I tried to call and message him but no answer. I ended up having to go around to the back of the house and knock on another guest's window (luckily they were in) to let me in. The host eventually showed up but not until an hour or so later. He agreed to refund me $20 for the botched pick-up but then cancelled my reservation on Booking.com so that 'he doesn't lose money' (he said) and (I think) also probably to avoid my posting this review. On top of all this the hot water wasn't working and of the two showers I took there I only had hot water for max 2 minutes total. (The other guests said they experienced the same.) All in all this was a truly awful experience and way overpriced given the almost no hot water situation, terrible pick-up service and overall dealings with the host. Oh, and did I mention the neighborhood roosters making noise outside from about 4am onwards ... ?

Good

Everything was great

Not a bad location. Online payment wasn't processed. Owner charged more at the property including a 5 percent card processing fee. No water in bathroom in bedroom. Used the main bathroom. No warm water. Average accommodation.

This was a one man show - On arrival the owner of the property was the only "staff" I interacted with. The toilet was locked and I had to call the owner to unlock the toilet door. There was little toilet paper for use - the owner had to come the next morning to bring toilet paper. The sheet on the bed itched like crazy, letting me know that they were dirty! I got no sleep on that nasty sheet and had to go for an early morning sea bath to rid myself of the itchiness. Thank goodness my stay was for only one night! This stay cost TT$ 681. plus TT200. for shuttle service (Pain in USD 120.00 total) a tidy sum for such poor quality facility and service - Never again!!!

Great host. Very clean, rooms well equipped. Good location. Highly reccommended. Good bathroom. Nice lounge, good kitchen facilities.Good security.

A tad expensive but it's the Caribbean!

It's not in the downtown but you can walk to the downtown

Well, I have quite mixed feelings about this accommodation. It's not cozy at all and it's not budget at all. But perhaps almost everything is extremely expensive in Antigua. Definitely, everything is expensive in this property and I had a feeling of a greed there.

Property was clean spacious, white bed linen & towels were also very clean and soft, comfortable pillows but no restaurant or cafeteria near by to have a drink or breakfast. There was no complementary tea or coffee one could have on arrival or in the morning. If you are going to this property and will need a drink please remember to pack your tea, coffee & coffee mate 😕😊 as you can’t just pop round the corner for a drink. Property manager Prince was very pleasant, helpful and kind. Oh and remember your two pin adapter (flat pin) to change your phone if required. Would I stay there again yes if I can have my tea/coffee & breakfast in the morning 😁.

he is a scammer, he stole money and came to threaten

the owner is a deceiver and a swindler

Prince is an amazing host, the location, the things to do nearby and pick me from the airport

Non applicable

The owner charged my credit card twice for a single booking! The booking was listed as payment to be made directly to the hotel. They took the full payment at the time of booking. They then put a hold charge of the full amount on my card again at the time of check in and when I checked out they processed the payment. So I have paid twice for the same booking. I also paid for an airport transfer at the time of booking but I waited for 45 minutes at the airport and nobody arrived and they would not return this payment either.

It was a very good stay overall I’ll be back❤️❤️

Short cab ride from airport to hotel - hotel arranged cab for me - good communication with Prince the owner - Shanda manageress advised me of the shops in the locality to grab snacks

Booked a breakfast but sadly no breakfast available that morning

The congenial host, Prince, a very clever man!

Room size (tiny!), also room is advertised as having a private bathroom but in reality, the bathroom is out in the hallway. Not in the best neighbourhood either.

They tried to take payments way too early after it stated that you could pay on arrival. Trying to cancel the stay was an absolute nightmare! The place had security like a jail house with keys for every room including the toilet and shower, and this is a fire hazard! especially for leaving and entering the property. The rooster and hens across the road added to the stress with their constant clucking and crowing. However it was situated in a good location.

It was cute and cozy.

Property is clean and nice but based on the time I arrived I had to check myself in,which wasn't the best experience. Overall the facility is very clean and comfortable.

Host

Heat

The clleanliness of the buillding and the facilities in it. Also,its nearness to the capital..All in all ,the rooms are squeaky clean .The atmosphere is placid ,all facilities are in great working condition and the landlord iss very patient and helpful....I give it an A.Will stay there again

The price to be taxied The rugged street and and rundown buildings close by.

I liked every thing,really beautiful,I am still telling people how beautiful Eko cozy is .

Nothing specific

bed to sleep on

THE HARASSMENT FROM THE LIASON!! Harassed friend who was helping with bags to room to show ID and was basically spying on my movements through the security cameras. WHY THE HELL MUST NO ONE WAIT ON THE PREMISES WHILE YOU GET READY???

While the place was clean it was most definitely not what expected. It's a house with 3 bedrooms, kitchen toilet and bath which means you've booked just a small bedroom barely able to move around and you have to share the bathroom and everything else with all the other renters. Not ideal at all

We wanted to be able to do our own breakfast and dinner, everything we needed was there. Kudos to all, will definitely revist

The place was clean and abit comfortable and quiet. Not too far from town.

I was over charged even though I was the only guest. Requested breakfast, taxi, kitchen. £361 given price but there were hidden charges which I didn't get a bill for??? £403.53 why. I didn't like the fact that I paid an extra $ 25 US for taxi just to be shared with others. I didn't get what I requested ie breakfast, taxi... So I am requesting a refund!

This Guest House its right close to city, friendly area and the manager is a very kind and nice person and also will educate about the island an recommend you the best things to do throughout your stay🙂

Location, cleanliness, my host Prince was super nice, god bed/madrass, tv with Netflix, air conditioner, calm place in Antigua

The crickets outside the house. Could't sleep. Had to use hearing protection (Prince provides it to you). The neighbor has to cut the gress.

Great facility; clean and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay. Great hospitality!

Only about the surrounding noise, it could be justified by the location right into the city. But the biggest problem is that YOU GET MUCH LESS THAN ADVERTIZED. We booked for "a studio, including complete bathroom and a private kitchenette".That was a lie ! This place has 3 bedrooms, two of them each with a small fridge and small micro-waves (like any bedroom has elsewhere), that SHARE a common kitchen with no dining table, but just a narrow counter instead. There is a picnic table outside; but under bad weather, you end sitting on your bed with your plate on your hands. And concerning the "complete bathroom", it's rather an added glass cubicle of 1,5 m2 with a toilet and a shower that splashes all around. We met other guests whith similar complaints about having found NOT WHAT THE PLACE ADVERTIZES. Antigua-and-Barbuda offers plenty of nice accomodations, managed by honest owners. But steer clear from that EKO-COZY reef !

Excellent for overnighting when compared with others for locality, transport and convenient proximity to St. Johns.

Great staff, clean and comfortable

Far from everything, car is needed if you choose this location

The house was clean and modern.

Not given enough towels. Only had one towel in the room and it was 2 of us. No tea or coffee was provided.

I love it so much ❤️

The staff was tremendous. Huge thanks and shout out to Mav she really made me feel at ease and safe. The room was perfect and the entire house every cozy.

Nothing that I didn't like

Its clean quiet and they have options on where to stay staff are super friendly safe i recommend this guess house

Back yard table, gave it a kiss

Went mental on the locks.

It’s an okay place for the cost but the location is not. The bathroom stall toilet shower combo inside the room did not like. Inappropriate if sharing room. No vent. The room has two beds but they only make one bed for you. They asked More money to have second bed made. Created an unpleasant argument. It’s a shared house, there was another party in the other room.

Room was good. Good location near the bus stop. Good tv

Too many mosquitoes came in through the window when it was opened. Can you add a mosquitoes killer and seal the windows please? I got bitten a lot

Absolutely the Bed!!! Prince was a Fantastic Host! As we entered into the doors we noticed how clean it was. There after we saw the amazing ceiling fan along with a AC and beautiful colours inside the unit. The bed was sooo comfortable. We would definitely Stay there again and assure anyone that likes a extremely clean place and a great bed Eko Cozy Guest House is the Place 💯

I enjoyed the location. Would have been nice to have tea and coffee provided. Lovely outside area.

Tea and coffee services. More regular toilet paper.

The staff are awesome, especially Mr Prince, he did everything to make our stay very accommodating, he picked us up from the airport, he's in time, also he gave us a lot of options regarding tours, you can use his taxi services or take a bus at the west bus station if you are on budget, the guesthouse is right in st John's, no taxi needed to go anywhere in st John's. Our stay was beautiful.

Nothing

Had a pleasant stay. I appreciated the owner's diligence in maintaining a clean environment. Also, the owner was responsive to any arising issue which wasn't many. The homes' location was within walking distance of the places that I wanted to visit. Walking distance to the heart of the tourist area but wear decent shoes for walking. The only negative were the locks, of which there were three and none were marked so it was always trial and error until I memorized which key belonged to which lock.

Overall was a good accommodation, friendly owner, description of multiple beds needs to be precised that you have to pay for the extra bed in the room ! Owner also has a car rental so we rented with him one-time. Location was very close to everything we needed to visit downtown for Our business trip. I would stay again.

the bed that's it.

I was very much surprised when I walked into the room and saw the face basin and the toilet is inside of the shower itself. So when I am showering the toilet is getting wet on my side and the face basin is right in front of me where I am standing under the shower. I have been traveling for work for the past 17 years and have never come across something like this. I must say, the comfort of the bed was very good. I had a small kitchenette in my room. Also, I was not expecting to have workers painting and doing renovation right outside of my room so much so that when I walked out of my room the scent of the paint hit me right in the face. My advise is that if you are doing renovations to your place, hold of on all bookings until you are done because everyone might not be able to take the scent of that cemical. If someone is living on the island they can book a room there but not if you pay for a flight to travel.

It was definitely in a good spot. Lots of stuff around and easy to get to the airport. Definitely a good value for the island.

Neighborhood is a little loud. Was fine for a one night layover, but wouldn't want to stay longer.

Great location ! Close to the airport and nearby supermarket .



The location

The staff owner was unpleasant and requesting information that was not required. We booked a room for 3 with a child as the specific reason the place was booked because it said children will be free. When we came he acted surprised like he didn’t know we booked a child. Breakfast was also to be included as per our booking confirmation.. He advised that breakfast was only included for one person and we booked for 3. I am not satisfied with our stay and we would like a refund for providing/advertising false information regarding the stay.

The property was nicely decorated. Good air conditioning for the really hot days.

Not much too not like. Just a lot of mosquitos and they came in regardless of whether the door was open or not.

Prince was very nice and good at what he does I Recommend him

The property the room /bathroom

Nothing it was perfect

The location and the bed

The bathroom was very small
