Nice simple getaway if you plan to do a lot of outdoor activities
Accessible and staff was very accommodating
Beach close by is a plus
I would use again with friends
The property is in a neighborhood 10 mins drive to the airport and 5 mins drive to grocery and pharmacy. It is greatly convenient when you need to be near Kingston airport without breaking the bank. It is not fancy or modern but clean and convenient and the owners are lovely and accommodating.
This was a very charming and cool comfortable Guesthouse. I enjoyed the veranda and rooftop pool. There's a stunning view and close proximity to the legendary Bob Marley beach. I will return to this place again!

Very accessible, clean and friendly staff. Would stay there again.
The owners were so kind and helpful. This is THE hidden treasure of Kingston. Bob Marley beach is walking distance and the rooftop patio was breathtaking. The AC in the rooms was perfect to cool off after a hot day. This hotel also has a bar and the pool is cute and deep enough for the kids to jump in. The rooms are very traditional Jamaican style/decor and VERY clean. The wifi was strong and overall this was a fabulous likkle spot. Mi soon come back
This was a one night stay. We arrived around 9pm andvthe owners knew exactly when we pulled up. It was raining and they kindly drovevus across the road to get some food. We had a beer upstairs before heading to bed. The room is very basic but comfortable bed and quite sufficient. We didnt use the pool.
Very clean staff very attentive to my needs. Very respectful.

This place is for people who truly looking to have an alone time and find themselves a bit more. Scarlett offers amazing views to the sea and the mountains that surround it. The host and staff at Scarlett Guest House are wonderful individuals who truly know how to do their job.
Very friendly and considerate staff. Close to Bob Marley Beach (10 minutes walk. Bring water shoes, it’s a rock beach). Quiet at night. Nice rooftop views and a cool breeze in the shaded gazebo where the jacuzzi is. Sadly the jacuzzi wasn’t working, if it was I’d give 5 stars all around. Very cool older building with tons of character.
Top tier experience! The scenery was great, our room was clean and adequately equipped with toiñetries for our stay. I stayed on Valentines Day with my partner and our daughter, and we will be back with a larger group.
Clean and comfortable room with a/c, a fridge and TV. Richard was great and got me everything I needed

The room was a good size. There was no place to hang clothes. There was no mirror. No wifi so you couldn't watch TV. The steps were uneven. There was hot water thats a positive. And they have AC also a positive. The view from the roof top was amazing.
I would recommend the Scarlett Guesthouse to friends and family. Wonderful staff and such a relaxing authentic venue and location. No complaints whatsoever. I’ll certainly return there on my next trip. The staff are amazing and genuinely accommodating.
