Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean and the staff very nice and friendly. The hotel is basic and charmless. The AC dripped and there was no safe. We didn't bring beach towels. They charged us a rental fee of $10/day plus a refundable per towel deposit of $15. The towels were just the regular bath towels. This seemed like an overreach for what is usually a standard amenity; almost a scam on foreigners.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only thing I liked about this property was the quality of the breakfast and the customer service protrayed by a waiter by the name of Rohan. The dislikes about the stay were the constant lack of water at the hotel, and to add insult to injury, there was a constant lack of hot water at the facility. There was also a mix up of the rooms assigned which caused confusion throughout the stay. The bathroom amenties need to be powerwashed or scrubbed since there is mildew or strain in the shower area.

My weekend spent at Hotel Tim Bamboo was quite wonderful. Not only is it located in the most beautiful parish, Portland, the location was accessible. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was very welcoming, and breakfast was simply amazing. I will definitely recommend and revisit. Thank you!!!!

I liked that we were able to cook our own food. The location is convenient. I didn't like that the shower was constantly dripping. To stop it, kept bathroom door closed. This room had no view but it served its purpose to rest, eat and sleep. I'd stay there again. The price was right.

There was a lizard when I first entered the room but I was like that’s ok because it’s Jamaica but what I wasn’t expecting was a roach in the shower with me. The caps on the water valve to indicate hot from cold was missing. The staff was truly friendly and I have used this property a few times before so to say if you stay there it’s just for a nights rest nothing to stay on property an enjoy.

Disliked: Amenities
This hotel was not what we expected. First of all, they put us In a room room with a broken mirror. The bathroom was extremely small and uncomfortable with nowhere to really put your items. The ac was very strong blowing right on the bed. They had complimentary breakfast which was good. But there only one real tour available which limited our activities. The surrounding area is not tourist friendly to walk, shop or buy food. It was ok for a one night stay I would say if you want to visit Blue Lagoon which is so beautiful. But for tourist looking to hang out I would suggest going to Ocho Rios instead.

Issues with my stay

I had an issue when checking in I was advised that my room was not prepaid and I was required to repay in order to check-in.I contacted hotel.com that stated my reservation was prepaid and place me on hold to contact the hotel. he was told that the reservation system was down and couldnt be checked at that time. I waited a couple of days and went back to the front desk and was told my room was prepaid and the second charge was being refunded.Issue # check into my room the door would lock and the nice maintence man replace the lock and had a new key wait when we got back. issue #3 if your stay comes with breakfast they ask if you want apple of orange juice. I ask for apple juice everyday and got orange juice so i stop asking and order orange juice and they finally had apple juice on the 5th day. everyone is nice and friendly but it takes more than nice and friendly to have a satisfied customer.

The staff seemed untrained and crass. The hotel steps itself was dirty for the 2 nights that were there even though there was some there who was supposed to be cleaning. We observed objects on the steps both nights and of course throughout the day. Not to mention the water issues that were just unacceptable and the lack of reliable internet. I’m never staying there again.

Really a Bad Experience

This was the worst hotel experience that I have had. There was no TV service nor available wifi. When I spoke to the attendant at the front desk, she admitted there is no TV service available. This should have been told to guests the moment they checked in so there were no surprises. The bathroom was smelly. Woke up in the middle of the night to use it and there were roaches running around. The shower was horrible. I could not get a stable water temperature. It was either too hot, too cold, or suddenly either. I am just hoping that these comments will help management do a better job with maintaining this property. The only positive for me was that it was within walking distance to the town square.
