Loved staying at this property. The only drawback was unaware of how far it was from the purpose of my trip - to visit family. There are no restaurants and public transportation is quite a way off. However, the owner is very helpful in setting up taxis and food delivery is available (or you can use the taxi and visit the grocery store and cook yourself in the fully equipped kitchen). I would recommend this guesthouse for its serenity - the pros outweigh the cons which are workable

Thank you for this review. Most of our guest either walk into Hamilton or rent mopeds. Taxi fare is 10 to Hamilton. We are sorry that it did not work out for you as you had wanted. We realize that some people are not able to walk far.

This property is located near North Shore Road in Pembroke. It is in a beautiful location and is clean and well kept. It is a little far to walk into Hamilton to get a bus or ferry but taxis can be arranged for $10-12 each way. If you are young and active you can walk this in about 20 min. It is very steep hills. This was the perfect set up for my Aunt and I while visiting Bermuda searching for family history records.

Thank you for this review. We enjoyed hosting you both. You did obey all rules and we would like to see you back here some day, We are sorry to hear that you eperience problems with getting transportation. We must stress that Bermuda is in our peak season with so many cruise ships in and hotels full. We often encourage our guest to use alternative ways to get about. There are a few such as mopeds, private cars and the bus.

Great apartment not great location
Lovely apartment, clean, comfortable and quite well serviced although the fridge was quite noisy at times throughout the night and you will need to get a few groceries in milk, coffee etc. The bed was very high as it had two mattresses on! It’s in a residential area so not near any restaurants or beaches so must rely on buses, taxis or walk, there is very little street lighting and pavements and buses from Hamilton to the area stop running at 6pm so have to get a taxi back. It is an uphill/downhill walk to the bus stop or into Hamilton so unless you have a car or moped the area may not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. Tourists not allowed to hire cars however, a new concept to Bermuda, you can now hire a small electric 2 seater car, but book it well in advance as they go very quickly.

Response from Roslyn on 26 May 2018
Thank you for this review. We are indeed in a residential area as stated in our write-up. We think we are more afforded than our major hotels and the money you save you can spend on a $10 taxi to Hamilton and then catch a bus to anywhere after that. For most guests the beds have not been an issue but because some folks may have difficulty getting we will lower them. We do offer a stepping stool to make it easy to get into the bed. We will work on immeidately getting a thinner mattress that will work with our toppers.

Great alternative to high priced hotels
I was very skeptical when I booked the Windsong over a traditional hotel and after arrival, it definitely took some time for me to get used too but that was no big deal. This was our 2nd stay in Bermuda and this was a great way to save money compared to staying at a hotel. We were greeted by Roslyn who was very nice and brought us to our room. The room was nice and clean on arrival. The AC was not on yet so was hot at first. The shower drain in our room did not drain but was promptly fixed after bringing to Roslyn's attention. I would say the one issue we had was when our room was cleaned during the day, our air conditioners were turned off. We were out from morning to right before dinner and would come back to get ready for dinner and go back out, so when we would return it was rather hot in the room considering it was high 80s/low 90s our whole trip. However, we did not bring this up to Roslyn so I am not saying she refused to leave them on, just thought this was odd. I thought the location of the Windsong was very good. We rented a scooter the whole trip, as we did on our first trip, and its about a 5 minute drive into Hamilton city. We took a taxi a couple nights into Hamilton and it was about $12 so not too bad. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider staying here when we do come back. Roslyn was very nice for the short time we interacted with her. I would definitely recommend the Windsong to anyone considering it.

Worst experience I have ever encountered!!
My friends and I went to Bermuda for the carnival and this was our first time on the island. I decided to stay a little longer than my friends to relax and enjoy some me time, therefore I booked a one bedroom apartment at Windsong Guest Apartments. My cousin had issues with her flight and had to a day later than expected. This was something last minute. Upon arrival the owner of the apartment was EXTREMELY rude when she found out that my cousin was staying one day with me. I told her I understand why she is upset but I am willing to pay extra for her since she was not originally on the reservation. She was raising her voice at me and I had to ask her several times to not raise her voice and then she proceeded to make a racist remark stating "I know your kind" which she repeated several times. I did not feel comfortable staying there, therefore I checked out that same day and stayed at Sandpiper Guests Apartments where I had a WONDERFUL experience. As soon as I returned home I filed a complaint with Expedia and contacted my credit card company to receive a full refund. I travel frequently and have NEVER had such a horrible experience.

Horrible manors from the owner.
Although she has the policy for no kids (we have a 1 year old) and we didn't see it when we book, she let us stay in a different room. She made us feel horrible while we were there for only one night. Bad manors will not help attracting tourists.

No complaints except for the location
Roslyn is an excellent host and the room was perfectly adequate. Our only problem was the location. It's way out of the way from everything. Although public transportation is easily accessible, buses don't run out there after 4 in the afternoon so we had to take taxis home every night which is very costly. We were nervous about renting mopeds, but if you're game, this place would be great.

Beware of Landlord!
Not worth dealing with a dishonest person. While there may be some good reviews for this place as it is very nice and clean, it is not worth having to deal with this person. I emailed a few times before I arrived and was told I needed to pay additional fees. This person said I could not receive a refund and purposely did not respond to my e-mails in order to make life extremely hard for us when I arrived. this person was yelling, screaming, insulting, defaming, etc. and is not worth dealing with. Doesn't know how to run a business. *Expedia has asked me to make about 10 revisions to this review. I'd love to provide more details but this is the best I can do. Watch out!

Great place to stay.....
In arriving was interrogated and accused several times of coming to have a party even though I assured the landlord no such party was going to occur. Didn't have any alcohol in hand, wasn't loud or rowdy but yet still accused several times. For some odd reason there was a big deal made because I had purchased the room for my guests using my credit for my guests who were visiting the island. She gave me a horrid time because in her view me paying for my guest was suspicious and she told me multiple times that because of this her gut tells her she should cancel my reservation (it was 9 o'clock at night). After finally getting settled in the room the stay was great until the next morning when the landlords grandson walked into the house without knocking and unannounced and asked if the airconditioner was on. (An hour before checkout) I understand that people may have had bad experiences in the past but making new visitors feel like criminals (as we were told if she feels anything fishy going on she will call the police on us) is not acceptable.

This hotel was fabulos and right down the street from Hamilton where everything was including public transportation, ferry ride, which leave every hour on the hour.. Mopeds are great to get around if you know where your going, roads are narrow so be very careful if you chose to rent one.. The people are amazing,very friendly, and taxi drivers are awesome as well.. This is a great place to stay and we will be returing with our children (s).

Winding Guest Apartments is a super-bargain.
These are fully furnished apartments and I do mean fully. Roslyn, the manager tidies up daily and otherwise is available for answering questions. They are very very much larger than a motel room and so quiet you can hear the tiny frogs peep at night. The garden is pleasant for an evening glass of wine and there are no bugs (thanks frogs!). Your next door neighbor is a church. At half the cost of a motel / hotel Winding is a super-bargain.
