Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaHarbour Vista Inn is located in Castries, just walking distance away from the Main Harbor & Ferry services. The view overlooking downtown Castries is spectacular, & the rooms are clean & comfortable. Breakfast is available upon request. Overall, Harbour Vista Inn is a great place to relax & enjoy the beautiful Island of St Lucia. Great host, beautiful place!

SwitzerlandThe manager tried hard (talking) to make my experience better. However, the high price cannot be justified given the small rooms and location right behind the city's slum (which the manager did not bother to mention when asking about security). Instead of honestly helping his guests, the manager works with crooked taxi drivers who charge double the normal price. I feel being cheated and bluntantly lied to.
Nothing really, it was a rather bad experience.

United KingdomHad a lovely stay here with no problems, the staff were so friendly and helpful and the location was great - not too far from town (about a 15 min walk from the centre, just down a very steep hill!) so good access to the bus system that can take you round the island. And the view of Castries from the balcony is breathtaking. Will definitely return and stay longer someday soon.

United KingdomProperty is very dated and felt more like a hostel than hotel. Perhaps my expectations were mismanaged but it serves as a very basic and functional stay, but seemed a pricey for what it is. There’s also no lift and the staff don’t help you with the luggage.
Location to the ferry and central Castries, only a short walk away. Basic but clean.

United StatesIt is close to the ferry, but it's not walkable to the ferry so no advantage there. We could have stayed in a nicer, easier to find place (for a few more dollars) and had the same need for a taxi to get to the ferry. The hill is simply too steep to carry luggage up or down,. The place in interesting and not bad, but hard for drivers to find. Also - we were asked if we wanted a breakfast before leaving and we assumed that it was included as many hotels do these days. The breakfast was okay, not great, but then as we were leaving we were told we had to pay $14 each for the breakfast. We should have been told that before we agreed. It wasn't worth it,.

United StatesThe first room I was given had no window. I complained and was given a room with a window. The rooms were small and claustrophobic. The bed was not comfortable. The hotel was overpriced. The bathroom was shared, (though I was the only one using it that night). I paid $20+ US dollars less for places with far better rooms in St.Lucia. It was up a steep hill so carrying lots of luggage may be uncomfortable.
It was close to the ferry to Dominica. There was a lovely view from the balcony. The property was clean and staff friendly. There was a kitchen and living room area guests could use.

Nothing too much trouble for owner and he organised taxi to take us to a restaurant he recommended - The Coal Pot - DEFINITELY GO - 15 minutes by taxi from here past airport. Fabulous breakfast included - very laid back and would be great base for a few days in the area.

United KingdomAccess advice of the location of this property is not ideal for elderly with walking or stamina problems, no lift and 32 steps to climb is quite a challenge. Its location is on a hillside even access by taxi on a bumpy road is narrow and not easy, Security care and route selection is advised if walking through the local housing. Our room had no handy storage space, awkward steps into the bathroom and a one person small seating room. Room TV is not ideal and difficult to use.
Staff and help available was very good. Location for port area views are excellent. The manager was very helpful in assisting and supplying locally sourced ginger drinks for my wife who was unwell throughout our complete stay. Meals requested were ample and always enjoyable. The air conditioning unit was excellent. The property has a comfortable and impressive lounge seating area.

View of the Harbour. We arrived by ferry and this hotel is the closest to the terminal. They even picked us up in a shuttle so that we didn't have to walk up the steep hill with our luggage. James cooked us breakfast the next morning.
