Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesI was at Jacoway Inn because I had to unexpectedly stay in Calibishie an extra night due to illness. It was perfect for that. Gorgeous grounds and view from balcony. Room is large and airy and had everything I needed. I appreciated the noon checkout. And the guava tea helped my stomach! Grateful for the kind hospitality and relaxing stay.

United KingdomThe hill to get to the property was steep as described and tiring. However, we knew before hand what we signed up to. It was still a shock and tiring but we didn’t let that spoil our hols. The Shower was a let down but understand it was no fault to the owners. I was brought up in DA so I understood and knew how to adjust. However, my partner he found it first shocking, as well as a nuisance, but we turned a negative to a positive. Unfortunately, it was basin wash for the duration. The toilet due to no water, again we had to fill up bottles from kitchen sink to use to be able to flush. Owner had left a few filled bottles. My recommendation was that it should not be let until fix because the next holiday makers may not be so understandable.
Clean, furnished fit for purpose, decor moderate standard, in good condition; comfortable bed and pillows; reasonably quite (dog barking); lovely outdoor surroundings; garden patio; garden looks well maintained; kitchen equipment readily available and clean. Close to Main Street, which has a ray of restaurants, grocery stores, ATMs and walking distance to other amenities such as Red Rock, Red Rock Cuisine, pointe Baptist beach and the chocolate factory. We did take a short cut! if you’re prepared to be like the locals for a day. Some areas were muddy, slippery and uphill. We were very surprised how close and quick we got there.

United StatesUnfortunately, the next-door neighbors have a barking dog that barked on and off throughout the day and the evening. So that almost defeated the purpose of living in this otherwise very pleasant environment away from the main street. One other drawback is that the property does not accept credit cards - only cash. The ATM machine at the airport was not working the day I arrived and so I had to spend a lot of time in the beginning looking for a working ATM.
The apartment was great! It was an upper level of a duplex. There were windows on all four sides that I kept open all day and all night. The building is surrounded by trees and bushes and flowers so you almost feel like you’re in the woods. Sitting on the balcony was very pleasant.

United StatesThere is no AC in the room. However, it is compensated by the fan by the bed, which works surprisingly well for the sleep.
Cute little cottage. The host is very thoughtful-two huge bottles of water in the fridge means everything to the exhausted travelers, especially after the boiling lake hike. The breakfast is flawless! We had fresh juice, fresh coffee, toasted bread with butter, cheese omelette, home fries, veggies and fruits. What’s more can you expect? Lastly, the host is very welcoming. Although it is a short stay, we had a great conversation with Carol. She’s such a lovely lady. Wish her the best for her future plans!

United StatesBeyond the host's control was the road coming up to Jacoway Inn. Care must be taken as there are a few large potholes. The other issue, also beyond the host's control was the Wi-Fi dropping for the day. She did make a phone call to check on the status, and shared with me some times in the island it goes like that.
From the moment I arrived, Carol-Anne was amazing. Helpful, friendly, smiling, energetic and made sure I had all my questions answered. Breakfast in the morning was lovely and hit the spot of western breakfast! The setting was lovely as well. The apartment (upper floor) was well provided with towels, soap, kitchen needs, mosquito nets and a lovely view from the balcony!

United KingdomProperty decor and furnishings are looking a bit tired. Difficult to get a lower temperature at night with just fans, but it is the Caribbean. Several pieces of furniture could do with tightening up/ screwing together.
Quiet location in rural Dominica. Not far from the village or the sea. Some quirky items. Great outdoor space. Attentive and helpful host.

United StatesI really enjoyed my stay here. Perhaps a few items (such as a bedside reading lamp) could use some updating and dusting, but all in all, it has a very quaint charm, sort of like staying at your grandma's who happens to live in the Caribbean :-)
Very cozy place, tucked in on a hill at the end of a street. Very quiet. Loved the sounds of nature. Hosts are very 'invisible' in a good way. Beautiful garden around the property and a great patio to hang out. Excellent breakfast and awesome natural juices served.

United KingdomThe water dropped out for a while, but that is an island issue and no fault of the Inn.
The location is up a high ridge above the village of Calibishie. For the island, the settlement has a wide variety of interesting places to eat and drink and the hosts are happy to recommend their favourites. The room was very spacious and had a very genuine island feel with its furnishings and decorations. Breakfasts served outside in the garden (except when raining heavily) were always interesting with island fruits, juices, breads and jams with other goodies. As one expects in Dominica, the garden was lush with interesting plants and one feels safely integrated with the local community when staying here which was my main reason for choosing to stay here.
