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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesParking was tight but we always had a spot. Just have to be careful at night if you are returning from dinner. The gate lock was a little cumbersome if you forgot something in your car. But these are very minor things.
Without a single doubt, we'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend time in the northern part of St Lucia. We booked the queen room with the ocean and jungle view and I simply never got tired of being on the balcony and looking out - esp eating breakfast each morning. Beautiful, relaxing, everything you could want in a tropical stay. The fact that it also had a pool to relax in and an amazingly short walk to the East Winds resort beach, which was stellar, made this stay unbeatable. The price/value is spot on with the services and quality. The location is easy to get to off the main road and we found it simple to get to Pigeon Island and the Friday street party. The kitchen was super functional for us. The bathroom with shower temperature and pressure were also perfect. The ac is located near the bed and kept us cool. It also cooled down the bedroom at night quickly. Running the ceiling fan in the other room was good to mix the air. The provided drying racks for our beach towels (provided) and swimwear made everything very functional. Keith had great communications and provided all the necessities as far as plug adapters, hairdryer, dishes, beach towels, etc. One note, bring your own shampoo.

United KingdomWhat's not to like?
Nice, comfortable apartment in a small block, built by Keith and run by him and his family for many years. The pool is shaded by lush vegetation and the beach is close by. Keith's nephew, Tony, drove us to and from the airport and did a great tour of the island for us as well - we recommend him! Travel was easy thanks to the ubiquitous, cheap buses. Plenty to see and do if beaches and pool aren't enough.

United StatesBecause of the beautiful views, the apartment is on a hill so just be prepared for a few steps getting to the pool and the beach. It's totally walkable, but there isn't handicap paths.
The staff is exceptional! Keith, Sabine and Angela were so kind, helpful and gracious. The apartment was clean, the pool is gorgeous and the view is exceptional.

United KingdomNo real sea view from the studio apartment unfortunately. But the owner did trim back the bushes a bit so you can see a bit of blue through them.
Beautiful location, close to lovely beach, friendly owner, lovely pool and garden. The owner also very kindly dropped off my phone charger after I left it plugged in the room. Thanks so much!

We appreciated the warm welcome by Keith, the beautiful little freshly painted apartment with amazing views over his lush tropical gardens, the cleanliness (wonderful testament to Angela ‘s hard work and care), the attention to detail - a new blender for our smoothies and all other kitchen equipment in great working order, and the balcony with comfortable chairs for our morning and evening enjoyment of nature. Keith was fascinating to talk with. We wished we could have stayed longer in apt Espoir and hope to return someday!

Keith is an absolutely wonderful host....fresh fruits from his amazing garden, extremely helpful and full of advice on what to do, where to go. His garden is an absolute paradise...I'd go back again just for the experience of being surrounded by such beauty and tranquility. A really unforgettable holiday and Espoir is a great place to stay, so close to a little beach , clean and homely. Also had a mosquito net...great protection against those mosquitos !! Bed and pillow VERY comfortable.

United KingdomIt wasn't an issue for me, but as previous review states, there are steep stretches of road and garden path.
I had the most wonderful stay at Espoir in January 2023. As many other reviews have said, Keith is a charming host, so friendly and helpful. At the same time, I had as much peace and quiet as I liked. My studio room was just as photos show - very clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. Beautiful balcony with lush garden planting at arm's length, full of birdsong. A few minutes walk to lovely quiet beach at Labrellotte Bay. Along the beach Windjammer Landings Hotel welcomed non- residents for lunches ( bit too rocky to walk in the dark). 10 -15 mins walk to supermarket and minibuses.
