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 KingdomPlease check the rodents
The location is really nice, on the hills. The owners are nice , they gave us a ride to the supermarket, show the shortcut to the main street, bus station and borrowed 10 ECD when coming in the evening by taxi. Close to the bus station . The private patio is great to spend the mornings and evenings there . All facilities are very much appreciated ( everything you need to cook , even shower gel, water ). The room is clean and beautiful decorated .

AustraliaThe stove top was a little hard to use and the toilet had some minor issues the owner showed me how to deal with.
Very attentive host, absolutely fantastic view with nice outdoor seating area (with umbrella for the sun and rain!) and super convenient location close to supermarket, beach and bus stop. The bed was very comfortable and the TV was great as it had a YouTube option. Was a really special place with so many birds, butterflies and little adorable lizards as company outside. Also great that they had a shared laundry to use too!

United KingdomIt’s a bit of an incline to get to the property - it was a good workout for me but I can see how it could be a problem for other people if they don’t have a car. Also, as anywhere else on the island, make sure you have mosquito repellent.
The apartment is just great and the views are everything! Very comfortable with everything you might need for a great stay. The SLU airport is nearby, there’s a supermarket at 10’ walking and if you want to visit different beaches you can also take the local buses. I would definitely return.

Canada1) It is uphill. Difficult to reach without a vehicle. 10-15 minutes of walk uphill. People with children and mobility issues should take note. If you have heavy luggage then taxi is advisable. 2) Google maps shows a place in Castries near central market when one searches for amazing beach view apartment. This is misleading. The description must make a clarification that this place is uphill from the Gablewoods mall because we had a bit of trouble finding it even with a taxi . 3) There was no air conditioning. Some people might find it tough in 26-30 degrees heat without it.
1) Good view, 2) spacious 3) peaceful 4) The owner and his wife were very nice to us and helpful. 5) Allowed us to store our luggage at the property as we arrived before our check in time 6) Easy to get minibus from Gablewoods mall to Castries central market or Gros islet . This helped keep our travel costs very low. 7) Our unit had a microwave, fridge and oven.

United KingdomLarge, well appointed apartment: everything you could want. Wonderful views from inside and from the large balcony with very comfortable seating. Friendly and helpful hosts. Quiet area just 15 min walk up from beach, large supermarket and bus stop on the main road. The road is steep but you expect that for the panoramic views.

United KingdomAmazing view and helpful staff. As a solo traveller, the location is good for getting around the island as the bus stop was close by and so was the food store. The area isn’t loud or busy so it was a nice time. The owners were really nice and the apartment was clean and up to standard.

United StatesWe had a studio apartment which has a partial amazing view. Though maybe it’s a good thing as otherwise we might have not left the place for exploring St. Lucia at all. Also there is something off with the plumbing: the air in water pipes.
The excellent location and a deck.

United StatesCredit cards not accepted. They don't do long term rentals. Not walk-friendly for the unfit due to the hilly location but I did it twice! It rained quite a bit and water came in through a windowsill. I was offered a move but I chose to stay as I didn't want to give up the view. A beach towel (2 were provided) took care of that problem. There was no other rain related incidents. The windows all had louvered areas at the top with insect screens but the pins to keep them closed were missing from some-addresed by the hostess. Wooden shutters on the outside of the windows banged in the wind - quite offputting at night when one is trying to sleep. Opening the windows or doors gave access to bugs and even a bird! There are no screens in this apartment. I had the door and a window open and was sitting on the balcony, went to the kitchen to get water and a bird was on top of the fridge, eating my bananas! If I had not witnessed this, I would have no idea what happened. It flew out when I entered. So, if you stay here, keep the kitchen door closed! The kitchen is at the back of the apartment.....this bird is a 'professional'. The bugs were very bad! I was attacked by midges and mosquitoes and lost the fight miserably..... I had 'ankle bracelets' of midge bites and my arms were covered in mosquito bites. So take your bug repellents and creams for this location.
The view from my apartment was the highlight. As the place title says,,,'Amazing', that is correct! It was a self-catered apartment. Quite spacious except the kitchen. Full sized fridge, microwave and toaster. A combination hot plate and oven. The grounds were lushly green with fruit trees and a most beautiful bougainvillea at the back where my apartment was located. A clothes drying rack was provided. A bug zapper was provided but if you can't see the critters...midges are 'no - see-ems'. I did get a few mosquitoes.

United KingdomWe did not have a baby cot for the first 2 days. Upon inspection of the cot which was initially deemed inadequate, it was found to be perfectly fine, albeit it required an additional cushion which we used from the coach. Wifi coverage very poor, you need to be within 3 metres of the router for it to work efficiently. The owners Card reader wasn’t working so was unable to pay by card for the accommodation. this meant the inconvenience of finding ATMs and incurring interest and banking fees, although the ATM fees were deducted from the requested price which was fair. I would say this place is perfect for couples, but as a young family the location, and the walk across a dual carriageway with no pedestrian crossing, posed enormous challenges for us and is very dangerous. It certainly isn’t child friendly! As we are quite fit, we viewed the walk up the steep hill to get back as our daily exercise! Do strongly consider hiring a car, or if not, be sure you’re of a relatively good level of health!
Stunning location with idyllic sea view. The highlight of the trip was definitely the day trips provided by Moses! The kitchen facilities are suitable for cooking for a family. Good value for money when you consider the price of nearby resorts. There is a nearby bus stop, although this can take time as many buses fill quickly so won’t stop. The owner kindly drove us to the supermarket for us to do some shopping upon arrival. He also provided us with other needed essentials when asked and was always available via WhatsApp.
