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 StatesThe only downside to the stay was the water pressure in the shower. It was a bit weak, which made for less than ideal showering conditions. Additionally, the hot water seemed to be reliant on solar energy, and unfortunately, we didn’t have much sun during our stay. As a result, there were times when the water was lukewarm at best. If you plan to visit during a cloudy or rainy period, it's something to keep in mind.
Overall, my stay at Paradise Cove was enjoyable. The host was exceptionally helpful and responsive, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. The apartment itself was clean, well-maintained, and offered a comfortable base for my trip. The location is fantastic—it's just a short distance from both Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island, so you're close to plenty of restaurants, shops, and beautiful beaches. Despite this, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy, well-located spot near the attractions of Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island!The property is ve

United KingdomAbsolutely lovely apartment with a fantastic view looking towards Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island. Both bedrooms had air conditioning and there is a big balcony to enjoy the outdoor space. The pool was also a highlight. Hosts were friendly and very helpful to any requests. Just to note, if you are renting a car, I would recommend getting an suv/large vehicle given how hilly the roads are leading to the property.

United KingdomAn easy walk down the hill to the marina - coming back up was a lot more of a challenge!
The balcony and fantastic views over Rodney Bay, the spaciousness and en-suite bathrooms and well-equipped kitchen. The pool was wonderful and we always had it to ourselves. Mark (our host) was absolutely fantastic, bringing us fresh coconuts everyday, always helping with all of our needs, arranging our taxis, found us a local place that delivered local food to us of an evening, and simply made our stay easy and fun.

United KingdomWifi cuts out as soon as you go inside the bedroom, only closer to the bathroom do you get it. Reception is best in the living room next to the router and TV. Location isn't the best if you want to go to the beach as it's not as close to the marina as it looks on Google Maps. This is because Google Maps doesn't show the altitude of a place, so we only realised how hilly the area was when we arrived. The apartment is located on a steep hill so only taxis and small cars can go up. There were a few days we had to walk down to the main road for the tour operator's van to pick us up which wasn't the most convenient. So if you want seamless experience with tours and excursions, better go for resorts and hotels to save the hassle. Not the best location if you don't plan hire a car. It's hard to walk anywhere so we took taxis every day to the beaches, restaurants and supermarkets.
Check in process was very smooth. I told Angelika a day before our arrival that after landing we would be travelling by airport taxi and she messaged back very soon after to ask me to let the taxi driver call her once we were close to the apartment. Once we arrived at the apartment, Angelika's staff came to greet us and helped carry our suitcases into our apartment. Angelika also came to greet us in person which was very nice of her to do so. Apartment itself was extremelt spacious for the 2 of us so we were very happy with the size. Two big bedrooms for each of us which was great for personal space and a massive king size bed in each room which came with ensuite bathrooms. Shower worked very well, plenty of hot water. Both rooms have balconies attached to them and the view looking towards the sea was amazing. We were on the ground floor so the sea wasn't as clear so if you want, you could try requesting one of the upstairs apartments, although I think you do need to pay more. Kitchen has lots of facilities available including a microwave, induction stoves, fridge, a toaster and a kettle. Just remember to buy oil and condiments as these aren't provided. Angelika did give us two local beers and two bottles of water for free which was again very nice of her to do so. We joined different tours every day and Angelika was always happy to provide driving directions for the taxis and vans to come pick us up. This was very useful given how hidden the apartment can be if you aren't local to the area in Rodney Bay.

United KingdomHad a hot water issue for whole stay, unfortunately over Christmas and New Year and despite a great deal of trying on the part of Mark and a plumber it was never fixed.Hopefully this will be properly sorted now. ,
Lovely big rooms, great swimming pool, big balcony with lovely views of the bay. Mark was always very helpful and suggested a taxi man who was lovely and always on time! We walked up and down to restaurants in the Marina and town it took about 25mins, but it is steep, but hence the great views!

Antigua & BarbudaMy husband and I decided to travel to St. Lucia and stay at Paradise Cove for we were celebrating our anniversary. We decided to rent a car and got lost trying to find the location lol however Angelika (the owner) was kind enough to meet us at our current location and asked us to drive behind of her to get to the location. When we arrived it was absolutely beautiful, a true paradise indeed, Mark assisted us with our bags and took us straight to our room. At this time we discovered that St. Lucia was celebrating their 2022 carnival and Mark was kind enough to assist us in planning the different events we wanted to attend. Everything worked out perfect. I have already requested to get that very same room same time next year.

United StatesWe picked this location because it offered air conditioning. We traveled a long way and were very tired and wanted to sleep and unfortunately the air conditioner in our room did not work. We did NOT sleep well and our vacation did not start off on a good footing. The host then said to me, I am Getman and we don’t need AC which I responded that I am American and I do. We are not used to sleeping in heat and humidity. Very disappointed as we have stayed here several times.
