Jah B is a nice man and I am grateful for my experience in the Blue Mountains. He is friendly when you talk to him and has a relaxed energy about him. Also, If you stay here I would recommend you bring some mosquito repellent. 😊
Great place to live in for the view but on the other hand the place and the facilities are nothing special.
AVOID AT ALL COST.
We paid £500 in advance and upon arrival found a run-down
, ramshackle room with sub-stand fixtures and fittings.
The room clearly hadn't been cleaned since the last poor souls who had stayed there.
Bins were full, bathroom sink was grubby and had a rim of dirt around it and the toilet was stained brown.
The room had a heavy and sweaty hum about it as if a workman had slept in there without bathing
and when we complained saying we couldn't possibly stay in such conditions we were told we could not get a refund.
After much back and forth we left utterly dejected and disappointed knowing we'd been scammed.
I read the reviews of jah b's and am 100% convinced they are fake because nowhere did I see evidence of the wonderful experience or good standards described.
Avoid at all costs. JAH B'S IS A SCAM.
I stayed at Jah B's place back in 1999 - I had a great time there. It looks like the place has seen a lot of upgrades since then. At the time there was no hot water or electricity. Very rustic. I hope Jah B and Alex are doing well.
I was utterly DISAPPOINTED On referral from a hiker I went with great hope that this would be a fun trip.. I received NO KEYS to the room,over charged for a tour guide, I paid for lunch n dinner for the 3 days n the second day I receive over night food n only one dinner. The next morning I was informed that the coffee wasn't part of the meal(not knowing) so extra money was to be paid the bin in the bathroom had rubbish from the guest before it seemed n wasn't emptied. All in all I wouldn't stay there again
Easy going bredda, simple cottage, has the basics but is clean and put together. Would stay here again for another blue mountain trip
The views from Jah B's are incredible, and it is a great base camp for those hiking the Blue Mountain Peak Trail. Jah B is good company and we appreciated the Rasta vibes. However, the lodging itself could be improved. The bunk house has only 1 light bulb that is controlled from the main house. There are no electrical outlets and the showers don't work. The kitchen stove doesn't work, and when we were there the kitchen was being used as a produce storage area. Little children were roaming in and out of our rooms and had to be told repeatedly not to touch our belongings. In the main house, one bedroom had no light bulb or switch in the bathroom. The other room had a broken door that screeched and scraped across the floor. We were locked in and out of that room repeatedly, and had to climb through the window, because of the broken door knob. The shower water was freezing cold. The kitchen in the main house was decently stocked with cooking utensils, but you are forbidden from cooking any meat in the kitchen. This is the communal kitchen for all guests as well as Jah B's personal kitchen, so it can get hectic when multiple people are preparing meals. There is no refrigerator for storing food. The electricity seemed somewhat unreliable, and flickered on and off throughout our stay. But the wifi worked fine! Jah B offered us amazing coffee in the morning. We waited about an hour past the scheduled time for both the ride to and from the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Jah B's, but with some basic improvements and repairs this place could be a real gem.
Jah B is an amazing host. My friends and I enjoyed a lot at his guesthouse. Relaxing peaceful vibe. Strongly recommended! However, if you're on a budget travel, make sure you bring some foods with you.
Jah B is an excellent host. Fresh Air, good food, good company amazing time
When visiting the Blue Mountains, Jah B's place is the place to be.
It's cozy, it's priced right, it's convenient. .. words can't describe it
Very good place to stay. The food is 100% vegan and from the own garden. WLAN is working slow but it worked. You need a 4x4 to get there. They offer pickup for 50USD.
First we thought it is much for one way. But if you see the way, you appreciate it.
Can definitely recommend it. It's also on airbnb.
Nice place, gorgeous views, awesome hosts, delicious coffee grown on site.
Its really amazing , the host treats you as if you're family and ensure all is well
Jah B is super nice. The house is clean and it is a very convenient location for hiking blue mountain. I'd recommend bringing some extra cash bc it's pretty remote and services are more expensive around there.
This Place is awesome. Very comfortable
We Love this place stay there 3 days hot tub and good cofee
Best start point for morning hike to Blue Mountain Peak. Also you can buy some local coffee. Warning : don't try to get there with your rental. Just call and somebody will pick you up with a 4x4.
Jah B, Everton, kitty (a cat) and Russell made my one-night stay a delight. I did get into an adventure getting there, and did not have enough money to pay for the rides they gave me in a 4x4, the meals and coffee, but "no problem." I love that we tried to solve it with PayPal, and hope that JahB gets some help with this so he can get his desserts for this beautiful lodge. Hike the peak!
