Reviews of Candles in the Wind 1 stars

Great location with restaurants and the airport within walking distance. It's a block away from a main road but is very quiet. The guesthouse is clean and safe, with a full kitchen and excellent Wi-Fi. I stayed in a single room that included a fan, excellent AC, hot water, and a small table and chairs. The owner Andrew lives there, so there is a degree of safety. He was always accessible and very friendly. Communication was excellent before and during my stay. Andrew even offered to take me on a day tour of the island. I highly recommend this place and would gladly stay there again when in Tobago.

Bottled water or a water dispenser would be great, but Andrew did accommodate by offering some cooled-down water that he had boiled. Sharper/larger knives in the kitchen would have been helpful to cut food, but I understand the potential risks that come with that.

Andrew was a great host, airport transfer was very handy and he was very helpful! The accommodation was perfect for us, if a little basic. Would definitely recommend especially for big groups!

The attic room do get very stuff during the night but you get what you pay for and the host does provide fans

Andrew was a great host, so friendly and welcoming. He gave me all the information about places to eat, the beaches, tours, transport etc. Its in a great location to reach everything you need (bars, beaches, shops, food, airport) and felt safe. Wifi was good too. Kitchen has everything you need and dorm is spacious and comfortable. Great place to stay.

My only criticism is that the dorm, kitchen and bathroom could all be cleaner.

Excellent position, close to the main beaches, to the bus stop and the airport. Big, comfortable space with fans and air conditioning, well-equipped kitchen, clean rooms, good Wi-Fi, and Andrew was a kind and super helpful host.

Great staff

Very well located , close to bar, restaurants ,supermarkets , veggie and fruit markets , 2 close by beaches and only 900 metres from Airport . Ideal location for Store bay beach and airport Owner has kindly upgraded me my booking from a single room to a double large one which was very spacious as i requested a quiet room . Andrew is very responsive and accommodating

fridge was not very clean and quite smelly shower was very out of date and took me a while to be able to switch from tap to shower function

Room was quiet and very clean. Kitchen facilities available. Excellent location. Other patrons were friendly and satisfied, repeat customers.

Decor was kind of basic, not too fancy. Always room fro improvement

A very nice and friendly, comfortable place to stay.

Good location, walkable from airport and main town in crown point. excellent local knowledge.

Very cheap for the island Within walking distance from the airport and the beach Owner let me check in early and check out late Dorm was very nice as was only 2 of us Kitchen available

Huge dorm so if it’s full would be a very different experience

Great place to Stay in Tobago, if you are a couple, a group of friends, or like me a solo world traveler. The owner Andrew is a SuperHost, a proactive person always willing to help and inform the foreigners that stays on his Hostel, a Hostel that has a big kichen with everything you need to cook, diferent spaces separated with dorm beds in the last floor with nice views from the balcony, and another floor with private rooms with ensuit bathrooms. Is a spacious and very quite place to relax and even chat with other travelers or our host Andrew, a great man full of expiriences to share. Supernarkets, bars, restaurants and ghe beach are at walking distance, in one of the best places to base your stay in Tobago. Highly recomended!!

Great location and Andrew is great. Affordable as well

A bit outdated, old sheets, also the bathrooms could have been better

Good facilities, great service!

Great location, and Andrew, the host, was super friendly.

I liked the aircondition and the hostel owner.

There was so many mosquitoes. It wasn’t so clean.

This was a wonderful stay. Everything was what you could possibly ask for. I had a private room which was very affordable, bed was super comfortable and A/C was perfect, house is large and there are kitchen facilities that you can use if you don't want to try one of many great local restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance from the house. There are beautiful beaches - public (free) is only 7 minutes away walking with great place to do body surfing and chargeable one ($3) - 15 minutes away walking with activities and nicely done grounds. I loved the free beach though. So pretty. Place is walkable from the airport if you want - 17 minutes, or take the public bus that takes 2-3 minutes. Public bus stop to both town and airport around the corner and if you don't like the option of waiting and paying only 30 cents, you can take a shared taxi to Scarborough and any place along the way for $1.50. They pass by every few minutes. For me location was perfect for all the reasons above and comfort was excellent. The owner is easy going and a wonderful person with whom you can have great conversations. He has been kind enough to drop me at the airport for free to make sure I don't miss my flight and I heard from other guests how helpful he's been to them too. This was my 2nd visit to Tobago after many years and I have remembered the same hospitality from my first visit too and came back to stay at the same place.

Nothing

The host is very pleasant and helpful. The rooms are air-conditioned and clean. If you want to cook you can. If you want to buy ready made meals there are places near by (within walking distance) such as Royal Castle and gyro food outlets, so the location is good. There is also a pharmacy nearby in case of any medical issues. It is also nearer to the current location of the airport than the port itself. In terms of beaches you can walk to Store bay and Swallows if you wish. For entertainment there is a casino is within walking distance. If you want to rent a car you can go about. But for those who don't want to rent a car there are places to walk to.

There could be a little improvement with the tv. Sometimes youtube movies are a bit boring. Maybe a fire stick maybe better. But this just for those who prefer to stay inside during the holiday.

We stayed in Candles in the Wind for one night before our (very early) flight. Andrew is a delightful person and made sure we had everything we needed (included a parking space for our rental car). It is clean and quiet. Highly recommend!

Close to the airport

Stayed in a private room. Host Andrew was very attentive and kind.

Good location, walking distance to beach, restaurants, bus stop and small supermarkets. Clean showers, bathrooms and kitchen. The perfect place to stay in for solo travellers in Crown Point.
