I booked a room at Hidden Gem due to a cancelled flight. It was close to the airport and the price was reasonable. It is located in a residential area, with a restaurant that is within walking distance. The food at Ocean Blue was delicious and reasonably priced. Our hostess with the mostest, Ms. Ann Marie, is the sweetest, most hospitable host that I have ever encountered. She is personable and attentive, with a fantastic sense of humor. Her house is absolutely gorgeous. It is sparkling clean, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. Although there is no beach access, there is a large pool that will make you appreciate the home that much more. I can't forget to mention that she makes the best rum punch I've ever had! Needless to say, I loved our short time with Ann Marie and Hidden Gem, (special shout out to Clarence <3). I hope to visit again soon.

The house is so BEAUTIFUL! Ameena is so wonderful and accommodating. It was her actual night off and she stayed and waited for us to arrive after our flight landed late. She then made sure we had transportation to arrive there and drove us HERSELF to have a night out on the town. She ensured we had transportation back. I only have great things to say about our stay. We were only there for a few hours since we had a long layover until we headed to another country. Ameena I appreciate the hospitality, the security and most importantly the time you took to make sure we had everything we needed for our short stay. Thank you ❤️

Wow…. This truly is a hidden gem. You expect the property to be clean, beautiful, with great facilities in a great location. What differentiates good from great are the staff. The staff went out of their way to make our 4 day experience truly memorable. Can’t give enough praise for this oasis in Barbados. Don’t even hesitate, you will not be disappointed. What an awesome stay !!

Carolina I wonder why you did not afford us the courtesy of elaborating telling us why you gave us a 1. Terrible is kind of harsh for not having AC for one night.. we offered to change your room and up until you left you were ok, you had breakfast and talked to us very well telling us how beautiful the house was and how you loved the decor etc . You even ordered dinner and said you were ok with us relocating you to another room while AC was being fixed. As a business person it’s not fair for you to give a review that low WITHOUT a reason..

Great Stay
The Hidden Gem Barbados was truly a gem to stay at. The room I stayed in had a nice theme and was decorated nicely. The bed was comfortable, and I really enjoyed the rainfall shower. I had to leave early for the airport, but Ann-Marie had prepared some fruit, cheese and coffee. I enjoyed eating and enjoying my coffee at the table by the pool in the backyard. The fact that I didn't arrive at the Hidden Gem until early morning, I didn't realize how close the ocean was to the property. I took a chance by staying here, but it very much lived up to the name. Truly a hidden gem nestled near the beach. When I pass back through Barbados, I will definitely entertain staying here again. Thank you Ann Marie for a great stay. Your place is awesome.

I had a wonderful stay at Hidden Gem. Anne Marie and Ameena were wonderful hosts and very attentive to my needs, even reminding me of tours I had booked and informed them about when I first arrived. My room was well decorated and clean, and everyone was friendly. I would recommend staying here when visiting Barbados.

Inch Marlowe is a quiet neighborhood near the ocean and away from the traffic and bustle of Bridgetown. The pool and the large shared upstairs shaded balcony are wonderful places to relax after a day exploring Barbados. Breakfasts are bountiful and delicious! Ann-Marie and Ameena are gracious and helpful hosts. Thank you!

This villa bed & breakfast is unique in the appearance and the interior design which is welcoming and tranquil. Anne-Marie and Ameena met us with open arms. The pool area is wonderful with a bar, a cabana to sit in the shade and lounge chairs for the sun. There is a huge veranda on the second level that looks out to the Atlantic Ocean with refreshing breezes! We also enjoyed and relaxed in the TV room. You would need a car, taxi or public transportation to get to restaurants but it is worth it for the serenity you return to at Hidden Gem. It really is a ‘Hidden Gem’.

Hidden Gem is a real gem.It locates in a silence ocean side.Surrounded by house and field,Hidden gem is very silence.Especially in night,You can just hear sound of waves and insects.If you want to escape from noisy city,it’s a good choice.Hidden Gem is located in the south point of the Barbados ,You can see sunrise in the morning and sun set in the afternoon at the same place.It’s a amazing experience.The hostess Ann Marie is a decoration designer and design the hotel.Each room has its own theme and style. The decoration is very careful and the details are very distinctive.Room ,bed and bathroom are comfortable，very clean and spacious.Ann Marie and Ameena are very nice and warm-hearted . we talk a lot about life and career. When we arrived Ann took us to buy a local phone card. Another time,Google map shows wrong address and Ann took us to the right place.They help us rent a car and we can go to everywhere.the price is cheap. They gave us a lot of advice about restaurants in Barbados. All of them are satisfied.Barbados people are nice ,peaceful and friendly,I like them.
