    Kitchen is rather small/cramped, but it was fine for our needs. If you arrive by foot the entrance from the main road is not obvious, but using the map you will reach the car entrance in about 100m, so not really an issue.

    Rooms and bathroom were clean. Room was good enough size to accommodate 2 people with enough storage space. Bathroom is spacious. AC worked well, so did the wi-fi. Hosts are nice and very helpful. Garden is very nice and good place to relax. Surrounding area is mixed, part is houses, some not the most aesthetic, but the rest is nature. Views on the surrounding hills are very nice. Mini-buses pass close to the house, so if you do not want to walk from Soufriere you can always take those (in reasonable time of day) and they are affordable.

    Magdelana is a wonderful host - warm and welcoming and willing to share lots of tips for getting the best out of your stay on the island. She even showed me how to cook a traditional St Lucian breakfast in her own kitchen. The place was spotlessly clean and I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a more authentic island stay.

    An charming place to stay with a strong sense of the bush all around you.

    It's clear from the photos that the studio is small and it's certainly true. It's fine as long as one is prepared.

    The studio is located unusually inland and away from most other apartments. You have a real sense of the bush and the mountains. Magdalena the host, is very attentive and wants you to have a good experience.

    On maps.me it gave the wrong location, so it was a bit hard to find.

    The location was very good, close to a lot of nice activities. The studio was very cosy. Had everything it needed and was very comfortable. Magdalena was really nice and the communication went perfectly.

    Extraordinary amazing stay beyond my expectations

    Such a relaxing amazing place! The studio is very nice and very clean. It has a cute small terrace that leads to a lush tropical garden. The hills view and the sounds of birds make everything so relaxing. You have many attractions around which are walking distance such as waterfalls mineral baths etc. What makes my stay truly special, perfect and unforgettable was Magdalene, the owner who went out her way to make sure I was comfortable ad everything was fine. She even arranged tours for me and drove me around. I felt safe looked after and welcome not only as a guest but It I felt like a member of the family and I could not thank her enough. I have stayed in many places around the world and I feel like saying please do not miss this one (especially If you are a solo traveler like me)!

    Nothing. Everything was just perfect. The pictures online don’t reflect the beauty of the place.

    Magdalena is truly a super host! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our stay. She even offered us a local tea and beer. The studio itself then had everything we needed plus a beautiful tropical garden and a mountain view. I loved it.

    The Cocopod studio was OK but had more negatives than we expected

    In the end, there were a few things which affected the quality of our stay. The studio room is about 11x14 feet or about 150 sqft. About 1/3rd of that is taken up with the bathroom and another 1/3rd or more is the bed. There's not a lot of room for luggage and sitting. I think the size is perfectly fine for a solo traveler or younger couples. We didn't sleep that well as they have a rottweiler chained up outside. The dog doesn't seem to bark at guests but will bark at random times at night. The room isn't totally closed off to the outside, even with windows closed. So you definitely hear it barking, a couple times for 30 min straight at 2am. Further, every morning, there's a car that drives through and honks everyone awake between 550am and 615am. You definitely hear this. Then, we had several early mornings where there's heavy footfall and furniture movement right above the bed, from the main house. The kitchen was very small and crowded. We weren't inspired to cook for ourselves. The breakfast prepared for us wasn't a very good value and we found it to be 100% westernized, omelet, bacon, melon, bread, so not much feeling of St. Lucia. We had to bring utensils and mugs from our studio, which meant that oddly, we had to do our own dishes after paying for a prepared breakfast. Water pressure in the bathroom is light but temperature is hot. In the end, the price for the studio is very attractive but we wished we spent a little more for more space, more quiet and more relaxation. We did not really get any unique help from the host for planning or eating anywhere. Unfortunately, our only poor dining experience was one she recommended, Seashell Beach Restaurant. Do NOT go there for anything but maybe a bottle of beer to look at the ocean. All the local spots we found on our own with google reviews were much better.

    We really like the location of the guesthouse with ease of getting into town or out to the sites. We were never far away from it. The garden with deck/patio was nice and our check-in process was super easy. We liked how Magdalena greeted us and helped us relax as soon as we arrived. We requested and paid for breakfast the next morning and then used the local Massy to stock up for the rest of our 4 night stay. Spending overnights near Soufriere is so much better than taking an organized tour down from north of Castries. There's so much to do in the area and the beaches and snorkeling is unmatched. Magdalena's place provided a great value to stay local and explore the area and was very clean. We really appreciated having beach towels and a place to hang up and dry our stuff overnight. The bed was comfy and the AC worked well.
