Too many rules for the holidays
Barbados is a marvellous island with lovely peolpe. Even if Winshelsea guest house is good located and clean I would not recomand to stay there! There is too many rules in this guest house. First there is one chain with a lock at the entrance gate. It's locked anytime and you park your car outside... After this gate there is a very nosy iron gate how creak loud at any passage. There is a shorter way but the guest don't have the key and it's reserved to the worker who clean the rooms. Once you enter, you can't keep your flip flop. You have to let them on the pieces of newpapers at the entrance... And if you forget there is signs on the walls to remind you that and the other rules. Imagine, you have spend a wonderfull day in Barbados... And when you come back to the guesthouse at 10pm the owner is waiting on you behind the entrance gate. Just to tell you that he saw that the light was on last night! It's not because you say the thing with a smile that it's not oppressive. BTW, Sir it's not appropriate to coming knocking at the bedroom door of your guest at night to tell them that some other guest will arrive the day after. It's stressfull especially when you've locked the entrance door and you think you're alone in the house. Another thing that is not the responsibility of the owner this time. Every morning we've been wake up at 6:30am by the many dogs of the neighbour. I'm agree with the comment of EAWeddingPhotography of Janvuary 23rd, 2017.

Good afternoon guests and friends. Thanks for the review. From the time this Guadeloupe guy and his female friend entered Winchelsea Guest house, I could see the unfriendliness in them but I ignored it and figured they were tired. Furthermore to that, he is unable to speak English well and his friend does not know any English at all. I was very friendly and I explained everything to them as I went to France 5 times (so I know a little French) . Eventually even the other guests noticed the unfriendliness as well but I made the excuse that they were French. The world today is not that safe ( though no incidents happened at the house to suggest this) but it is vital to have your front gate locked so as to protect all of your guests. I give all guests a front gate key to enter the premises. Why would the French man want another key to enter the premises. They are also given a front door key and their room key. The rain was falling a lot in Barbados at that time and I would think it was appropriate to take off your flip flops (as he called them meaning shoes) off. I want to say all guests should see the house as theirs and keep it clean. I usually have kids (babies) staying at my place and I usually tell the parents the floor is clean so your babies can play and creep on the floor etc. My lights were on all night so I asked all the guests ( and not only the Frenchman) about turning off the lights when everyone has gone to bed. I think it is appropriate and mannerly to tell him that other guests will be in the house as they are only 4 bedrooms. Does he expect to be in the 4 bedroom house alone and have all the amenities in his room? Everyone has his own toilet and bath tv Wifi etc This guy and his friend got everything they asked for including a/c, wifi, tv and toilet and bath. I changed the linen and cleaned and mopped the room.

This guest wanted to reach the airoport at 7 00 am in the early morning. It takes like 23 to 25 mins to reach the airport at that time as there is no hardly any cars on the road as I told her I was going to leave at 6.15 am. i have taken many many guests since 2007 to the airport so I am well aware of the time to get there. She insisted I leave before 5.30 which I thought was too early and she kept on messaging me and waking me up in the middle of the night causing me not to get some sleep. Eventually she got another cab. Thanks for staying here..

The Owner was perfect, really helpful and tried to meet all our needs. Unfortunately the property had suffered storm damage during a hurricane and knocked the air conditioning out. The neighbours had a 'yard dog' which made sleeping difficult. The bedroom we were in and ensuite was very clean.

I will begin with the Pros This guest house is close to the beach, the owner is reliable and very engaging. He also offer taxi service at a charge. Cons This guest house is not inviting, the furnitures are dated and some are covered with bedsheets. The ironing board and iron are in very poor condition, the room is small tight spacing but with tall ceiling, the bed is dated and not the best pillows or bedsheet, window curtains needs to be washed. my biggest disappointment was the towels they were coloured not plain white per guest house standards, they looked like they had been used to their maximum usage, so I used one of my clean clothes to dry myself instead, the shower is small and the shower curtains were not clean so this made showing uncomfortable, the room television only one channel so you would have to use the one in the small living room. Overall the place needs house keeping services the gentle man is not able to pinpoint the things that needs to be cleaned and little things that he can do enhance the place and make it welcoming, its a place you can go to if you really don't have a choice. I came with my daughter and husband and we were not please and I was disappointed.

This lady is telling a lot of lies based on what she is saying. The bed sheets that she was lying on were new ones never used by any guests. Guests that came to my place over the last 11 years were very satisfied with the coloured towels, sheets etc. Even the authorities who examined were satisfied. The room is green and every thing in the room matches even the rugs/carpet. I have travelled and stayed in many guests houses in Europe, London, Trinidad and even St Lucia where this lady is from and very few had white towels. People like colour in their rooms. This lady is a student nurse at a hospital..She is used to dealing with sick/ill people so she is accustommed to having whites. She need to travel some more and stop criticizing every thing. My guests prefer coloured items and I am here to please them. These people are able bodied and healthy and not sick people in a hospital where she works.Every thing in the room was clean and well washed so I don't know why all of these lies were being told. I had other guests and no one complained

Just a place to sleep and shower
Cash only, no refund. There is no shuttle, owner rents a car to take you to and from airport. If you don't use his rental to get around and pay him, he will take it back so you have to find your own way to the airport when leaving. Do not let him convince you into shopping at the Massy supermarket, he will take you there to try to get you to spend alot of money ( I didn't) then give you his rewards card so he can earn points.(found this out from locals) He is nosy, will pop out of his place all times of the day and night when you are coming and going. There was a filthy, hairy soap bar in the bathroom when I arrived, can only watch tv in the living room, tv doesn't work in your room. No air conditioning, just a fan. Chains and padlocks galore, from the front fence, to the side fence and inside of the house. Wi-fi wasn't working properly until another guest complained so he bought a router for us to access the internet. Texted me after I left accusing me of leaving a winter coat in the closet and questioned if it belonged to a man or a woman. He has since been blocked, I will be reporting him for the false advertisement regarding transportation. Pics to follow

This lady came before 5 am in the morning in the morning on a Jet Blue flight. There was no where opened to get anything to eat and she was hungry. I took her to a closed restaurant that opened at 7:30 am and I stayed with her until that time as it was kind of quiet and lonely and not safe in that area that early in the morning. It was not safe to leave here there by herself. Most taximen would have dropped her off to fend for herself and come back and pick her up at 8am. If they had to wait they would have charge her extra waiting money. I did nothing of that sort but I sat and waited with her until she got something to eat. I respect woman so I would not have done anything like that. Now my check in time at my accommodation is 12 noon and my place was filled up the day before and they had gone so I had to ask my worker to come in early to prepare a room for this lady and all the other rooms. I had to pay him extra. Two new soaps were placed in here room, two clean towels, new sheets, pillows cases, the floor was swept and mopped, the toilet and shower were cleaned etc etc. I found it very strange that I had guests that came in after her and no one I REPEAT no one complained of the frivolous complaints she had made. Like I said check in time was 12 noon and she checked in 8 am, 4 HOURS before check in time. I did not keep her waiting. I had other guests who used my rented car where ever they wanted to go. This lady actually called other taxis with my rented car parked outside and the other guests were actually surprised at that behavior. So when the other guests left I sent back my rented car as I saw she had no intention of using it. I was paying 75 us a day for it. So does that not made sense to send it back? All my tv’s work even the one in her room.
