    Maybe the washing machine for guests in property would be nice, if you do hiking, you definitely need it in Dominica :) Also some tea&coffee kettle in the room would be useful.

    The location is great - close to the waterfalls and other activities. Our cottage was nice, nest in lush nature, was quit and tranqui place, ideal for relax and chill. We especially loved a hammock before cottage. You have shared kitchen and fridge. Staff is also nice. We would stay again, we had a wonderful time here.

    There was no door of the bathroom which was a bit strange and uncomfortable.

    It's a great place if you want to stay in a typical cottage surrounded by the lovely nature of Dominica. The hosts and the employees are super kind and helpful. It was definitely good experience to be in a place like this and I would visit it again. It is situated on a main road so it is easily accessible by car.

    Cocoa Cottage was perfect for us. We were in the “Fou Fou” room with open air slats. Good ventilation. We loved hearing the sounds of the rain forest all night. Staff were the most polite and helpful we’ve ever encountered.

    Our stay in Cocoa cottage was just amazing. Lovely cottages in the middle of the rainforest, close to the Dominica's highlights, beautiful wiews from the terrace and very kind ownwers and also the staff. Before our comming we were a little bit affraid of the noises from the rainforest and from mosquitos, but there was no problem wit it and the noises from the rainforest we have just loved - it was so relaxing and in the touch with the nature. We also very appreciated the dinners - made by local cookers in the open kitchen and all the guests had the dinner together arround one big table. So you can meet a new interesting people from different places of the world, tolk to them and have a very interesting evenings with them. Also our two sons (12, 17) loved the stay in Cocoa cottage and enjoyed hollyday full of adventur in Dominica. I highly reccomad this place for those, who prefer nature, original and local stay to five stare hotels "without the soul"...

    Our stay was amazing! We were there for 4 nights, and we loved every part of it. The staff was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner there almost every day, and we were so impressed. Everything was local and delicious. The property is conveniently located close to Titou Gorge and many amazing waterfalls. Highly recommend!

    The cost of the accommodation overall is 2x the cost of what it should be for what it is, and the breakfast is outrageously overpriced for simple eggs, bread, and fruit.

    The grounds were beautiful, and the staff is absolutely amazing. Dinners are phenomenal, homemade style that varied each day.

    Bed was not very comfortable so we slept at the other end - much better. Room was quite small. Would be nice to have an outdoor seating area other than the veranda we had.

    Great location. Attentive and helpful staff and owners. We had breakfast and evening meal on site to taste real Dominica - very good.

    My only complaint is that the mosquito net around the bed was pretty thick and blocked the breeze from the fan/outside. We found ourselves deciding if we wanted to be hot or bitten by bugs each night.

    Great location close to several hikes/waterfalls. Delicious food and nice rooms. The woman who made breakfast was the best. She was so nice and really made you feel at home. It wasn't the same experience at dinner, but she definitely made up for it!

    Pizza night was a bit a of a let down. Handmade to order by a lovely Italian lady but took forever being made and cooked one at a time. The resulting pizza was disappointing.

    Excellent location. Sleeping with the sound of the forest, magical. Lovely breakfast whilst watching humming birds feeding. Owners very sociable.

    Owners were very friendly and helpful with tips on how to enjoy our time on the island. The facility had a common eating and lounge area which brought guests together for meals and gave us a chance to get to know each other and share travel tips. The property is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and has lovely artistic elements everywhere you look. The resident cats were friendly and the meals (bfast and dinner) were simply, tasty and good value. The location is excellent for exploring the natural beauty of the south part of the island.

    Nice stay close to local Dominica activities and sites. Disappointed about noise / workers around Fou Fou room.

    The welcome was a bit “meh”, not very clear. There was no housekeeping during the 4 days we were there- bins not emptied or towels not changed- not that we necessarily needed new towels, but would have been nice to know. Also no one cleaning the room- the shower area accumulated lots of sand and this was not draining. However the main disappointment / frustration was the noise, from 7am onwards, cars are honking right outside the room, because the road is there and there is a huge curve (they are honking for safety to warn other cars they are turning)…. This woke us up every morning. Additionally to this, almost every morning we were there, workers were going past the property non stop with sand bags or cement or something, making lots of noise and talking. It would have been nice to be told in advance there were going to be some works done just next to the “private” room…

    Really beautiful location amidst tropical jungle and little river. We were in the Fou Fou room. Great location near Roseau and near Trafalgar falls and Titou Gorge / Boiling Lake hike. Next door to Extreme Dominica (canyoning). The owners send you a welcoming guidebook with lots of info on things to do in the area, restaurants, guide numbers, rental car companies etc. Very helpful. The room itself is spacious and comfortable, good mosquito net, and good little terrace where you can enjoy and relax. We had dinner there one night and, although a bit pricey (25 USD per person), was very yummy and filling.

    It is in the rainforest so there will be rain, and it will be humid. There was a fan in the room so it wasn't too bad to live in, just difficult to get stuff to dry. The Cottage also had a tin roof, which makes a lot of sound when it rains. It took a night to get accustomed to all the sounds but the it was just cosy. (Except the honking from the road)

    Amazing location in the rainforest! Close to most thing you wanna do in the valley. Cosy cotteges, good breakfast and pizza (we didn't try the regular dinner) and as clean as it can be in a humid rainforest. The best thing however was just to meet all the people, both the staff and other travellers! All staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful, and it was great to meet other travellers. We didn't have a car because with our original plan there was no need, but due to heavy rain we had to reschedule some things. However, every breakfast or dinner we met somebody friendly who gave us a ride or let us tag along for the day. During the pizza evenings a lot of interesting non-residents came and ate as well. Both locals and island-hopping sailors.
