Jay is very communicative and responsive via WhatsApp. He lets you know fees and activity options ahead of time, so you feel safe and clear of expectations. His family made us feel welcomed and appreciated. His mom Angela was so warm and always has a happy positive energy. Beautifully located with a great view of the blue mountain peak where guests can enjoy homemade breakfast on the big balcony facing the mountain. Highly recommend trying the homemade no sugar added sorrel and ginger juice with dinner, spiced oatmeal for breakfast and of course jay’s family’s own blue mountain coffee. A pleasure to stay and meet you all!

Staying at Jay's Guest House deep in the Blue Mountains was a great experience. It's an opportunity to get away from the typical tourist areas of Jamaica and have an authentic Jamaican experience. Jay has a wonderful family and they make you feel right at home. I would recommend the Blue Mountain peak sunrise hike and buying some of the best coffee I've ever had.

Jay is a superhost, kept in touch to pick us up, share his knowledge of any hikes you wish to do. His properly is well kept and comfortable, From Jay’s Guesthouse you can hike to the river to cool off or hike to the Blue Mountains Peak or Monkey Hill. Ms Donnette cooked some Jamaican dishes and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely would recommend Jay’s Guesthouse.

The food was excellent. The place inside, clean. Jay was a great host. The grounds need trash pick up. I thought it was over-priced for what was offered.
