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.).

CanadaEven with the window open and the breeze, the room was still a bit warm for our liking
The owners are so sweet and welcoming! The breakfast was delicious (and we tried a St-Lucian breakfast!), same as dinner. Comfortable bed. Nice view from the balcony with a nice breeze. Very clean. You need a car to get there and visit around. Thank you again!

United KingdomNothing we disliked at all. It's easier staying here if you have a car as it is out of the way, but we were fine and Ellen had a reliable taxi service she arranged for us.
We liked everything about this place. Zamaca is far enough out of Micoud to feel remote, with amazing views from our room overlooking Fond Bay and the rainforest and valley, and very peaceful. Also no mosquitoes!! John and Ellen are lovely hosts and were so helpful! E.g. giving us a packed lunch to take down to the beach and getting a neighbour to give us a lift down to Sandy beach. Breakfast was great and Ellen also did 2 evening meals which were outstanding. It made our time here so special. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and felt sad to leave such a wonderful and unique place. We would love to return here and see our hosts again.

United StatesWas surprised that there was no airconditioning, but because of the homes perch high on the hillside, the room had constant breezes keeping us very comfortable. (so not really a negative, just info for those who absolutely need AC.
Stay here if you are looking for off-the-beaten path accomodations, a cultural exprience and amazing hosts, Ellen & John. They made us feel right at home in their beautiful home on a hill side with views of the dramatic Fond Bay. It litterally feels like your the only place in this hidden gem of an area. If you want to be right in the action of tourists and night-lifers this may not be the spot for you. One the otherhand, it was the perfect location to go on day trips and return to a very comfortable inviting place/family. The Pitons are about an hour drive as well as Castries and Rodney Bay and if your into nature and hiking, there is plenty to do right in the local area. Nicki, Ellen's daughter, was kind enough to bring us to an amazing the "majestic uncharted" Sault River waterfalls.

United StatesWonderful traditional bed-and-breakfast, run by a lovely couple, located on a tranquil hillside on the less-touristy side of the island. My room was super comfortable and came with a huge private terrace that offered great views of the beach and ocean. The hosts' hospitality is truly unsurpassed.

United StatesPerhaps I am spoiled here in the states with air conditioning. But air conditioning was advertised for the stay, however it was not available in the room, St Lucia happens to be very windy, which is good because it ends up keeping you cool, fan over bed was also nice.
View and private balcony. Breakfast was great, non pork options were available!

United KingdomThere is nothing we did not like but guests needs to be aware that the location is off the beaten track. Great for us.
The hosts were amazing.They could not have made us more welcomed if they tried, nothing was too much trouble. Whilst the location was exceptional you will need transportation. We are hoping to return in due course.. Word of warning if you play dominoes look out John is far more adept than he makes out. We truly loved every aspect of our time there. Thank you so much our Micoud friends

United StatesBeads were hard and no air conditioning. Might be ok if the rooms were facing a different side of the house because there is a very strong breeze on this side of the island.
Close to the airport when our flight was canceled. Hosts were super kind and accommodating for our last minute stay (make sure to call ahead if booking online). Great homemade breakfast provided!

JamaicaWhile my stay at Zamaca in St. Lucia was perfect in many ways, I would highly recommend considering renting a car if you wish to explore areas beyond the property. Although the stunning views and welcoming atmosphere at Zamaca are hard to leave behind, having a car would provide the freedom and convenience to venture out and discover other attractions on the island. St. Lucia has so much to offer, and having your own transportation would ensure that you can fully immerse yourself in all the beauty and experiences this wonderful destination has to offer.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zamaca in St. Lucia, and it was an experience I will treasure forever. From the moment I arrived, I was completely mesmerized by the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean that greeted me. The property truly boasts one of the best views in the area, and it left me in awe of the natural beauty that surrounded me. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the refreshing air that permeated the entire property. The location of Zamaca allows for a gentle breeze to flow through, making it incredibly pleasant and eliminating the need for air conditioning. It was a true delight to be able to breathe in the fresh, clean air and feel so connected to nature. However, what truly set my experience at Zamaca apart was the warmth and hospitality of John and Helen, the owners of the property. From the moment I met them, I felt like a part of their extended family. Helen's cooking skills are nothing short of exceptional, and I couldn't help but feel like I was enjoying meals prepared by my own loving and talented god-fearing aunt. Her dishes were not only delicious but also infused with love and care. John and Helen went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. They were always available to provide recommendations for activities and sights to explore on the island, ensuring that I had a fantastic time during my stay. Their genuine kindness and welcoming nature truly made me feel at home. In conclusion, Zamaca in St. Lucia offers a breathtaking view of the Atlantic, refreshing air, great conversations, and an exceptional level of hospitality from John and Helen. If you're looking for a place that combines natural beauty, comfort, and heartfelt warmth, Zamaca is the perfect choice. I can't wait to return and experience their hospitality again.

United KingdomThe wifi was good but didn't reach our bedroom, so we tended to work and check on the landing. Vital to have a car here.
This is a lovely place to stay - a quiet area near Micoud. The hosts are charming and welcoming and very sensitive to your needs. Breakfast is creative and thoughtful. Evening meals if requested are superb and authentic. The views from the property are stunning. It's great to get away from hotels and all-inclusive trappings to stay in a nice house with nice people and be free to explore the less visited bits of the island. Best beaches are a short drive away to the south. Micoud nearby has several excellent local restaurants who are very welcoming.

United StatesWe liked everything about our stay, but you should be aware that this home is not in a heavy tourist area, and is not close to the better known St. Lucia attractions. It is a great place to unwind after being on the west side of the island.
This is a really beautiful, solid house in a quiet neighborhood with great views of the coast and a lush green valley. The hosts are perfect, friendly and helpful. Meals were served promptly at the agreed time and Ellen's cooking was excellent. We stayed in for two delicious dinners. We spent a fair amount of time reading our books and enjoying the view from the balcony for our room. We found having a car necessary to access Sandy Beach, restaurants, and sights in the area.

United KingdomHonestly, nothing. The B&B isn't especially close to any shops and the taxi driver had to call a friend for directions to find it, but that wasn't an issue for us. It was exactly what we needed.
We needed a place to stay on St Lucia for one night at short notice when our original flight to St Vincent was cancelled and we were re-routed. John and Ellen were outstanding hosts and their B&B a spotlessly clean, very comfortable place to stop over before our new flight.
