I traveled from Kingston Jamaica to Ocho Rios by bus (Knutsford Express. In Ochi, I had the worst Airbnb experience ever. I was not able to get inside the property. The host forgot to leave me the key to to the locks.
I lost a whole day of relaxing and content. I was stuck outside for more than 3 hours. An Airbnb nightmare. The last thing I want to do is give a bad review on an Airbnb, but I lost a whole day of enjoyment.
The property was very beautiful and I loved it. It was a very unfortunate situation. I chose to not show the door number because I think it was a mistake the host made. They did apologize and regret it happened. I still would recommend the property for stay. I only hope this mistake does not repeat.

They are over charging you my brother. Someone should have pointed you to the local route taxis right outside of the Drax Hall Knutsford stop. The taxi heading towards Ochi would charge $500Jam or less and another $500 to go up the hill for the Skycastles Airbnb. The taxi( Uber) guy who wants to charge you $200 or $300US to Negril don't go for that. You should take the Knutsford express for $25 dollars to Negril and next time Ask different people for ways to get to places so you can see your options. Anyway, you live and learn, God bless you my brother.

@karlhenry2328 Месяц назад

@@user-dx5mg9by9yit is criminals enablers like you who are destroying the local Air B&B industry! Of course he was being overcharged, $200-$300 U.S to go to Negril? Many one way plane tickets don’t cost that much depending on the location you’re flying out of in the U.S! Visitors have so many different options when it comes to destinations in the Caribbean. Jamaicans and Jamaican businesses must realize, whenever someone chooses to visit Jamaica it must be considered a privilege because they have so many different options and destinations to choose from. We can’t let unscrupulous individuals ruin the tourism sector because of selfish greed. I had a similar experience at that same location, I arrived and called but it took forever to locate the host, totally unacceptable! Visitors on vacation don’t have a day to loose when they are on vacation. I would encourage anyone with a similar experience to write reviews so other travelers can avoid this nasty behavior. Stop harboring and protecting unscrupulous people whose sole purpose is to destroy Jamaica’s tourism industry. You should be ashamed of yourself, maybe you are a scammer yourself 😮😮😮😮

Wow! The same thing happened to us at Columbus Heights. Booked, arrived. Rang owner, buthe failed to respond. Luckily, the staff were able to source another property on the complex. If ever you're planning to visit again, I'd be happy to assist in sourcing airbnb from this end.

This is unacceptable not the way to do business and you should get a refund the inconvenience. What if it was night the guest arrived and this happened. Horrible. I need to know the name of this airbnb so we don't make reservation with them😡 Did you check the reviews on the airbnb? If not, next time please check reviews they can be very helpful in deciding where to stay. This is certainly a nightmare.

@conwaywelsh1702 Месяц назад

It's a shame. I can feel your frustration. I would be pissed off. A bad reflection on other good business hosts. They should give you a free stay for a day/night. Simple said.

@britinnit2115 Месяц назад

So sorry that happened. I stayed there at Columbus heights at the very top a couple years ago and it also took some time to get a hold of the host contact. Luckily I was staying for five nites tho, but when you’re hot and tired, it’s not fun. The views of the cruise ships coming in over Xmas were amazing and stores and restaurants in close proximity, but walking up that hill 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨. I hope that host compensates you fairly.

@3bladeceilingfan304 Месяц назад

I go thru that Airbnb fuckery every time I go to Kingston. My plane comes in at night- the cabby can never find the address- the host never picks up the phone. I just go to a hotel- cause I know where it's at- sometimes the host live at the Airbnb and they got a bunch of dogs and they bark all night- sometimes there is no hot water/ running water/ no power/ no Internet But you want full USD money. Stay at a hotel. Then airbnb want a cleaning fee- and some times the size of the place is a jail cell. Smh - I'm an older lady and I'm traumatized every time I go. I might need to travel other places😢 I'm glad you made this video- I thought it was only me having these problems with airbnb

@WhoIsHerby Месяц назад

Yeah, I have had some good luck with Airbnb, and because I travel solo most of the time, I do budget friendly Airbnb. I have been lucky to some great Airbnb over my travels, but every often I get something that messes up my plan. It is what it is. I just deal with it then keep moving to the next one. Agree that Hotel does make more sense depending on the trip.

The bus used to stop in the center of Echo Rios. Only five minutes from the Airbnb. They changed that a few years ago. $35 dollars??? No Sir. Thats robbery. If I know you was going there I would hook you up with a driver. He charged me only J$2000. If you are going to Montego Bay airport, there are several busses that can pick you up and take you to the airport. You call them 2 days before and make a reservation. They usually make pickups at every hotel. The bus will take you straight from Ocho Rios right to the airport. The fare is about US$35. You will share the bus with other people.
