The house keeper robbed me. The house is unkept and very dangerous. The smell was unbearable. They had a huge rock waler in the building. The condition of the property is horrible and unsafe. It’s not fit to be deemed a safe clean environment. The homeless sleep on the steps. I want a refund for the 2nd day I did not stay in the horrible dump.

MoBay Kotch is exactly what they bill themselves to be. A clean, safe, affordable place to stay in the center of MoBay. Both Vanessa and Dennis ensure you know how to get the most from your stay. They cater to experienced hostels guests and are always happy to introduce new comers to the hostel experience. Will definitely stay there again in March when I’m back in MoBay again. Hope Jerkie the puss and PikaPepper the dog remember me when I return.

Me and my wife missed our flight and had to book something really quick. The most affordable and transient space was MOBY KOCH! I’m an educator working on my phd and my wife is a chef …we loved the space. This history of it. The Charm! I wondered how did the space look prior to this wonderful family sharing it with others…the hospitality was phenomenal… the space was open and safe! Cool what you want when you feel like it! They provide coffee and tea in the AM (but you have to make it your self and that’s totally fine with us. My only suggestions would be, is a router on the second floor where you can use you own devices and possibly Air Conditioning. Even with those I’m coming back with my family all 10. I love it and if you ever want a true Montego Vibe where you could pop out and walk and engage with the culture this is the spot! Dr. Wilson

É falsa a informação de que há Wi-Fi nos quartos

Nas informações sobre a propriedade, consta a informação de que há Wi-Fi nos quartos, como comprova o print de tela que anexei nas imagens, mas é mentira. Só há Wi-Fi na parte externa. O colchão é péssimo e os eletrodomésticos sujos, como mostra a outra foto que fiz. A cozinha fede à gordura velha e o odor quando abrimos o microondas é de causar enjoo.
