What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 951 guest reviews
Authors Key West Guesthouse earns consistently warm reviews for its charming colonial atmosphere, spotless rooms, and genuinely helpful staff, making most guests feel they got strong value for Key West prices. However, recurring gripes about very small showers, a breakfast that can feel underwhelming or run out early, and pool photos that overstate what is actually a compact jacuzzi suggest the property could manage expectations better. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with a handful of maintenance and accuracy issues worth noting.
