Make sure you close the lid of the toilet and close the bathroom door, othwise you may notice an odor.

The location was great for us but some people may find hiking uphill to get to your lodging and then climb many steps to get to your room a challenge. Taxis are good about driving you to the base of the steps. The view was spectacular!!!

It is really showing its age. Faded and broken fixtures, lots of wear, from glassware to towels. As quiet as you think the remote location will be, forget about it. Dogs bark almost incessantly and the favorite tool among locals is the gas powered weed whacker.

The pool Was an absolute delight

If you do not like steps - do not go .. but then perhaps ... re think your visit to Saba at all :)

Outstanding place in all aspects. Got the highest possible chalet with the view. Couple more steps (actually a few more couples) to reach it gave us perfect view (and a bit stronger legs). Friendly personal and Saba all around. Suggest definitely.

the location is nice, but not great if you carry suitcases as there are a lot of stairs.

The views are amazing. The staff was very helpful and nice.

Friendly and attentive owners. Great views.

you need to climb up stairs, which are about 5 floors high, through a side staircase to get to the hotel. there's no help with your luggage when you arrive or leave. every time you go out you think twice because of the stairs, and the walk into town is a stretch because Saba is so hilly. the bed could use new mattresses.

The view is breathtaking and the room is big and comfortable. There's a wonderful balcony (at least in my room), and the pool view is almost the same. The pictures are accurate, and the hotel is in a quiet location. The bathroom is outside but that didn't make any difference to me, even in the night. There was a completely equipped kitchen in the room I was. stay here if you love hiking and don't mind the stairs. if you have any accessibility issues, don't.

Because of the simplicity and being right in the arms of Mother Nature, it is difficult to have the room clean. What bothered us the most was the lack of draft in our room, and that was even though we had the windows open 24H a day. Beware that there are stairs from the street up to the reception and rooms, 69 steps to the reception a 90 to the Sunshine Room.

Picturesque and quaint. The view is breathtaking. The quiet from nature during the day was numbing, but during the night, the jungle came alive. You come close to nature and a lot of privacy, even from the other guests.

The tip that restaurants and other places are a 5 min walk away from el Momo could be elaborated that it is a 5 min walk up and down the hill towards windwardside which might take a little more than 5 minutes :-)

I liked the cottage quite a lot and once you were there you can't help but feel more relax in this environment. even though I went for work I left feeling well rested.

Only problem was a neighbour’s barking dogs, but that’s not their fault

Nice basic place, very nice owners.

The toilet not being a part of the Cottage. Had to come out of warm bed to use it during the night, but l understand.

Breakfast was simple and enjoyable. Sitting, listening, looking at the birds and being able to look at the sea was a pleasure for me. I like the name of the Bar, "honesty Bar". I still smile whenever l think about it.

Nice low-budget place on the island Saba. Great stuff, awesome view. Cottages are basic but clean with everything you need

The stairs😅 They are very steep and you will feel thst in your legs after walking up the hill to reach to the stairs. But the were a good preparation to climb Mount Scenery

The location was beautiful. Surrounded by nature and quiet

Could make more effort on cleaning. The room was clean but the pool and around the pool looked almost abandonned. The breakfast area and room kitchen could’look better. It’s a shame because the place a the view is really nice.

The view and location are very nice the bed was confortable and good hot shower

El Momo Cottage is a lovely place ! The owner is very helpful and dedicated to make your stay the best possible. The cottages have stunning view on the sea and the vibe is typical of the island. We highly recommend the place and would definitely come back without hesitation !!

It was perfect for me. The cottages are simple and rustic, and the bathroom is outdoors... maybe my mom wouldn't have liked it but I have no complaints.

This is possibly the coolest place I've ever stayed. A collection of cottages up at the top of a hill a short walk from town with amazing sunset views overlooking the island and sea. Not to mention a pool, great and affordable breakfast, and very friendly and helpful hosts (who provided a ride to the ferry dock when my taxi didn't show). It felt like a dream, I wish I had stayed there longer... definitely the highlight of my trip to the Caribbean. A perfect base for hiking the island; I got everywhere on foot over 3 days and ended the day with a dip in this magical pool with a view of Mount Scenery.

El Momo is a great little place with an incredible view and very friendly hosts. It’s clean, quiet and has good internet. Loved staying there and hope to be back one day.

Place is somewhat neglected, in need of maintenance and TLC. Constant barking dogs in neighbourhood. Location is not close to centre of town (restaurants, pubs, bank, shops, etc). Must walk a long way up/down hill in addition to 60-100 stairs to get to cottage. Not great value for money.

Great views, lovely spot surrounded by nature. Basic accommodation but cozy and quaint. Nice pool.

We stayed in the top room (which I’d highly recommend if you’re okay with steps), but: the compost toilet was stinky. This is the price you pay as I assume they can’t get proper plumbing that high.

Amazing location, beautiful views, pool very clean and refreshing - great after a long walk.

I enjoyed my stay, but I appreciated less the fact that there was no option for dinner available on-site. We were advised not to rent a car, which was manageable during the day for hikes and some activities as they were accessible without a vehicle. However, unfortunately, without a car, we couldn’t explore everything, such as visiting places like Bottom or the harbor, which are not within walking distance from Momo's Cottage. After a long day of hiking, returning to shower and realizing there’s no dinner available meant we had to go out again. This was particularly challenging due to the steep hill we had to climb at night, which isn’t ideal after a meal. If we were to visit again, we would definitely rent a car, though unfortunately, none were available during the weekend of our stay.

I really loved the stunning view and the charm of the small cottages, which offer a unique sense of privacy. It’s refreshing not to feel like we’re all in a crowded, standardized setup—such individuality is so important during a vacation. The peaceful silence was incredibly soothing and relaxing.
