Wonderful Garden Guesthouse
For me the best part of travel is the people I meet and experiences I have.Christy and Victor showed us the most wonderful time! Whether it was sitting by a bonfire in the garden, serving us local Bajan food, or taking us to the local farmer's market, all of the care they take with their guests makes for a very special and memorable and trip. At the end of a long beach day or trip around the island it was so nice to come back and sit on the veranda overlooking the garden with a nice glass of wine and catch up with our hosts. My daughter and I, had a wonderful time in Barbados and we have Christy and Victor to thank for it.

Chi Gardens is the Best!
I simply need to go back as soon as possible. Christie and her team were amazing. I enjoyed every second of my stay. I learned so much and had so many wonderful conversations with the other guests. I have to recommend Chi Gardens for anyone wanting a peaceful experience while in Barbados. The garden is simple breath taking. I’m happy I chose to stay here for my first trip to Barbados.

Wasn’t too bad; just sucked that I didn’t do any further research in regards to how far it was from everything. I was under the impression that I could be able to walk around. Definitely need a taxi. But besides from that, it was cool.

A fantastic time surely to be repeated! We were looking for a nice place to stay in Barbados, outside of a resort experience, to learn more about the culture, the people. The Barbados CHI Centre was just that! The cottage-like house is situated in the middle of a magnificent garden (some times the man looking after it may be around an give you a tour, thanks Box!) in a quiet cul-de-sac, and only a 30-min walk to the city, 5 to a busy road where minivans and buses stop. We used it as our headquarters while visiting Bridgetown. For us, having also the opportunity of interacting with the hosts, Ellen and Christian, was what made our stay supreme! They went above and beyond in making sure our stay was great, and they definitely did. We felt really welcomed and definitely come back if we are in the area.

A very unique setting , very different to where I would normally stay. But unique turned out to be extremely rewarding . Very quiet and naturistic settings in an old elegantly put together house. Its like a plantation house with lots of space .The owner closes the deal for me . Christy was extremely friendly and helpful , always willing to get anything that is needed . Chi Center is away from the beaten path but well within reach of downtown Bridgetown. Its the gem waiting to be discovered

For me with a damaged ankle i had to pay for a taxi to get me home every night. A bit hippie but Chrisy would help as much she can. Ran out of toilet roll. Overall the next time i go i would get a place closer to the beach

Guest House -Stayed in February 2018
The natural rustic concept is appreciated. Very friendly host. However website description of property requires more details so persons can make a more informed decision. The Chi Centre is a private Guest house. Palmeto apartment is in fact a room. There is no ensuite bathroom but an adjoining bathroom that you access by stepping outside. Privacy limited. Room cleanliness required work. Kitchen is shared with other guests and not very clean-musty smell. Furnishing etc requires some maintenance or replacement. Very low ceiling. Persons sensitive to this, will find the room suffocating. Many amenities excluded. Whatever is provided is at a separate cost eg use of Air Conditioning. Disappointing stay. Details on website not a proper description of guest house and experience was very disappointing.

Negative Energy at Chi Centre
Misleading, Money Oriented, Rust inside Kittle, mold smell, poor to no housekeeping, unkempt garden and very questionable host are some of the words that canvas my stay at the CHI Center. Its all about the money there (pay as you go) for example Changing of bed sheets and laundry is done once a week or it is overpriced plus prepaid & towel never gets changed.

Tranquil location
Christy's house is a haven of alternative living away from the beach resort world. Homely furnishings and an abundance of plants give an artistic, bohemian ambience. Christy will meet you at the airport and is on hand to organise trips, services, taxis etc and her breakfasts are delicious - fresh, and prepared with fruits from the expansive grounds around her house. Otherwise, a self-contained kitchen has amenities to prepare your own food. No air-conditioning but the trade-off is a tranquil location where the only disruption at night will be the noise of the crickets and frogs as you sway in a hammock watching the night flies.

It has a dusty and musty smell, there are many humidity problems on the ceilings, it is not a good environment. It is full of many personal items everywhere and everything looks very messy. The hostess had a bad attitude when I arrived, my flight was delayed, I notified her through Expedia. The entrance is uncomfortable, if it rains you get wet opening and closing the padlock. Does not accept credit cards. Dirty carpets, dangerous desk chair in poor condition. $20 per day additional and in cash to use the a/c and it doesn't cool well, it has a bad smell. It has a lot of rules, you even have to take out the trash.
