Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

More Than We Could Dream
A large group of long time friends and I came to Jamaica to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our friendship. Obviously we knew we’d have a great time in Jamaica, but little did we know all the new friends we would make in the process. Kingsworth Hostel was a relaxing and beautiful place to spread our roots for the week. Just hanging around the property itself the week would have been fun. But Courtney, our host at Kingsworth, made sure to set us up with all the tours and information our hearts desired. Not to mention all the food our hearts desired. With stories to make you smile and tours to change your life, Courtney is THE host with the most!! His brother Lee took wonderful care of us as well. Courtney set us up with Sylvester, our taxi man for the week, who not only took us where we were desired, but guided us through and provided endless answers to every question we had. And music to liven up the party. Kingsworth is a beautiful, safe and wonderful way to experience Jamaica. My friends and I are forever changed from our hilarious and emotional journey. I highly recommend staying here. Do yourself a favor:)

Courtney is a MUST if you're traveling to Jamaica!!
I traveled to Jamaica with a work group and Courtney was with us from the moment we stepped out of the airport, until the moment we stepped back inside to leave. Courtney's professionalism was incredible and we were lucky enough to be able to hire him as our guide for our entire stay in Jamaica. He showed us every inch of the island, including quite a number of places that you would never get in a tourist guide or magazine. His knowledge of Jamaica, its history is amazing - it was like being with a history professor at every turn. He even knows a thing or two about the duppies - We enjoyed a visit to his guest house - but I think the most important thing travelers should know and trust in is Courtney's ability to keep his guests happy and safe during their stay. Anyone traveling to Jamaica, whether alone or with a group, should know that they will be in the best of hands under Courtney's hire. I can't believe that it took me as long as it did to get to Jamaica, and I've been counting the days and working towards getting myself back there. And when I do, Courtney will be the first person I reach out to as I plan my trip.

Great place, great people!
Great location to stay when you visit Jamaica. Clean and friendly. Close to everything and everywhere you want be. I wish I could stay forever. Courtney will make sure you have a great vacation. If you want to just chill and relax or if you want an adventure, this is the place to stay. I have been back 5 times (every year) since my first trip in 2008.

An off the beaten path GEM, Incredible experience!
Kingsworth Jack''s hill House is a wonderful retreat nestled into the lush hills overlooking Kingston. Jack's Hill neighborhood has a great local community vibe that makes you feel very welcome, it was a great experience to be in Jamaica away from all of the touristy spots and see the real Jamaica. Courtney Minors host and amazing tour guide is your man for the inside on the best tourist and favorite local destinations. From mountain biking on a trail that cuts through the back of Rita Marley's yard to, touring the Blue Mt.'s and wonderful coffee farms including historical music site tours and the best food in and around Kingston. Courtney takes care of every ting! All you need to do is book the trip and start thinking of what you want to do in Jamaica. I normally don't use tour guides but it turned out to be the best thing for my trip. I got adventure, culture, history, and stayed in a cool place as if it where home away from home. I highly recommend this as a great hub for your gateway to explore all of Jamaica.

Great view and nice grazy host
This guest house is in the mountains and has a beautiful view of Kingston. The host Courtney pick you up from the airport on request. You could book with him desk. He shows you the blue mountains, the city of Kingston and many other attractions. If you dont have your own car, ask Cortney, he drives you into town to buy groceries or other thinks. We stayed 4 nights in a double room with shared bathroom and kitchen. The room were comfortably furnished, even with cd-player, wher we heard every day Bob Marley :-) The double bed was a bit small, move a little closer :-) In Kingsworth many cats live. So it was never boring and we had a great time there. We will come back as soon as possible.
