Hot as hell. No AC on site on a 90 degree weather. Put a fan in it and you have a convection oven. Might as well find more suitable accommodations

Hi Jose Thanks for your response and yes, it is hot here in Jamaica right now as we are having our first heatwave in years. If you checked our property out you would see that we have no AC, only fans which normally are very effective as we have at least 2 in each room. We are a hostel for budget travellers and our guests prefer to keep the costs down. I understand that you tried to get accommodation elsewhere on the beach when you decided you didn't want to stay with us because we didn't have something we don't actually offer. But you couldn't find anything in the price range with AC. I am sorry that you didn't get what you wanted but we all have a responsibility to ensure what we are paying for. And it really is unfair of you to review us on something we don't advertise we have and we have no control over the weather. Thank you Janet

Super awesome location just steps from the beach. Space to park your car and be near all the action on the beach. Bar right next to hostel and other bars and eating places nearby. Only 2 problems: 1. internet is spotty at best. 2. Not hot water for showers - cold showers, ouch!

Thank you for your review Brian, it is most appreciated. We have been waiting on an inspection to put a solar panel on the roof for hot water and this should come soon. The WIFI is a problem, we have the digicel fibre optic which is allegedly the best on the island but all the utilities companies here are the worst in the world for service but we keep trying to get it better Thanks again Janet

Happy Days
What a absolutely, awesome month I enjoyed at Drifters in January 2021! Drifters Hostel caught my attention with two main attractions that I like, live music and a minute away from the beautiful Seven Mile Beach. Experiencing live entertainment, three times a week, during these crazy times reassured me that music and live entertainment is the best medicine to cheer ya up! I met so many wonderful people, from all over the world, during my stay at Drifters, all of them are now life long friendships. One Love ❤️ One Jamaica 🇯🇲

Thank you Mark for your amazing review, it is most appreciated. You are right that it is a great location within easy walking distance to all that Negril has to offer and also the beautiful Caribbean Sea a minute away. We look forward to welcoming you back to Drifters in the near future. Stay safe and healthy Thanks Janet
