Guest Report
Mrs. Dekker from Netherlands visited in January 2012 and awarded 
We arrived at Tobago on 31st december 2011 and stayed at the Bamboo Walk Hotel for two days.
The accomodation was clean, the beds were good and the restaurant was really good. The people were very friendly and helpfull. Only small point was that it was noisy. I didn't mind the rooster, but there were people fighting in the house behind te hotel early mornings and you could litterly follow what they were saying. The location is easy to reach and we used the pick up service from the hotel which was excelent. Also the next day this man took us where ever we wanted to go for a small tip.

I found this hotel through "my tobago" website and was extremely impressed by the reviews. I chose this hotel and after arriving was pleasantly welcomed by the staff who made our stay warm and friendly, nothing was too much to ask for. I will definately be going back and staying at this hotel. Obviously these are read as I found a small fridge in my room, but saying that the bar and restaurant a a mere stones through from your room where a well stocked bar was available and the food was excellent. The karaoke on Christmas night was fun and enjoyable no matter how badly the song was sung.

I needed somewhere to stay for a few days before moving onto my first choice accomodation. Although I have been to Tobago many times before, it was my first visit to my beloved Isle in 6 years.
I decided after reviews and also based on location and price, especially after reading Yes Tourism was based there, that it must be very good indeed.
I was picked up at the airport, nice and smooth and directed to reception on arrival where I was greeted by the divine Divine.
I was given my keys and taken to my room, where my luggage was waiting.
I later had to ask for the safe key, which was located and given to me unfettered by key ring, so to keep safe I attached to the room key.
The Good
Friendly staff
Very clean, comfortable rooms
Clean fluffy towels
Free shower gel and liquid soap
Convenient location (if driving)
Restaurant and bar onsite (admittedly I did not eat here)Had one fruit punch, which was ok.
Karaoke (if you're into it)
OK Patio, with a view of the car park
The Bad
All staff from outside Tobago, limited local knowledge/integration
(I asked for a local shop where I could get water, fly spray and cigarettes and was told I would need a car journey and a convoluted journey, in fact there was a nearby shop, five minutes walk away which one had to pass to leave the area and had all three items on my list!)
Staff live onsite and there were some strange boundaries at times.
Location next to a main road, noise of cars speeding outside.
First view is a car park. Whilst to Western eyes, this may not appear strange, by Tobago standards it is... well odd and certainly out of place. It also meant I was woken by car lights turning around in the car park due to the location of my room (#1) which was closest to the road.
Which leads me to security. Sliding gate from street to property is not locked. My room was just a few yards away and the door lock was flimsy to say the least. To add to matters, the curtain was virtually transparent with a very loose weave and even at night time you could see right into my room and my bed. I didn't like this. At all. Especially as a woman travelling alone.
The furniture inside and outside was all plastic, easy to clean, but not pleasurable to sit on, but I suppose it was 2*, it just charged too much for this level of accommodation.
Karaoke in this property is not optional on Fridays, there is no escape, unless you've knocked yourself out with Puncheon rum!
Divine was lovely, as were the other staff, just clearly missing home and their families, which I found really sad and the situation artificial.
There are so many places you can get more bang for your buck and feel like you're actually in the Caribbean, which is why you have paid to get on a plane, no?

Great value for money but well-worth upgrading from basic accommodation for additional cost.
Small quiet (with exception of great Friday night Karoke!) family run hotel with pleasant friendly helpful staff
Given the chance would go again!
