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.).

United KingdomThere wasn't really a full sea view; you could just about see a section of the sea behind the foliage. However, this was somewhat immaterial for us as there was enough of a beautiful atmosphere on the grounds. Also, we had a few issues with water pressure in the shower, but the host was so helpful in trying to rectify it for us. The area was a little noisy at times but it could be due to the time of year and days we stayed.
The property was absolutely stunning and the host and staff were super attentive. The air conditioning was such a comfort to combat the heat outside, meanwhile the balcony offered fresh air and green views where you could sit and even enjoy the rain. Our host provided a nice starter snack pack for us which was very thoughtful. They also recommended a lovely restaurant whose food we enjoyed so much that we ate there just about every day. The property is in decent proximity to a number of excursions/sites. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.

United KingdomIt would have been good to have air con in the living area as well as the bedroom. But we liked sitting on the balcony, which was cooler.
The location is perfect for exploring both north and south, so we didn't have to drive for more than an hour to go where we wanted to go. The view from the balcony was lovely and we spent our evenings sipping our drinks, watching bats and listening to the wildlife. Pat, the host, was absolutely lovely and very helpful. You do need a car if you stay here, as it's not practical to walk anywhere.

Royal Excape was amazing! The location is central on the island which is great for exploring the northern or southern parts of the island and was close to restaurants and grocery stores. Pat, the hostess, met us right as we arrived. She gave us a tour of the facilities and showed us around the apartment. There was everything we could possibly need on the trip. She also had a book of recommended restaurants and things to do. The apartment was clean and the air conditioning in the bedroom was a must after spending the day on the beach. Pat checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything. We also reached out to her a few times asking her opinion on different locations and things to see around the island. She helped us with one of the tour operators when we were unable to contact them for confirmation. It was like having our own concierge! We would definitely recommend Royal Escape and if we ever make it back to St. Lucia, we will be staying there again.

Our stay at Royal Escape near Marigot Bay and Anse La Raye was perfect. If you’re looking for an ideal base to explore both the north and south of St. Lucia, this is the place to be. Its central location makes it easy to enjoy day trips to the breathtaking beaches and volcanic landscapes of Soufrière in the south, as well as the lively atmosphere and attractions of Rodney Bay, Castries, and Pigeon Island in the north. The apartment itself is absolutely stunning — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. It features a well-equipped kitchen and a cozy lounge area, making it feel like a true home away from home. The outdoor space is a highlight: there’s a barbecue area, a small but inviting pool, and a comfortable lounge area perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. One of our favorite spots was the terrace, where we could relax and watch hummingbirds flit gracefully from flower to flower — a truly magical experience. What really sets Royal Escape apart, however, is the exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, Pat welcomed us with her big smile and exceptional warmth, immediately making us feel at home. She greeted us with fresh local treats, including bread, eggs, and refreshing coconut water. Pat went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering valuable advice about local restaurants, tours, taxis, and the best snorkeling spots. Her kindness and attention to detail made such a difference, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about guests’ comfort and experience. we were also greeted by her beautiful cat and kittens, whose affectionate company made our stay even more special. Evenings at Royal Escape were pure bliss. After a day of beach-hopping, trekking, or snorkeling, we loved unwinding with a cocktail in the lounge area, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere under the stars. It was the perfect way to end each day. I can’t recommend Royal Escape highly enough.

United KingdomI loved the place, but if I was to nit-pick, I'd like a wider bed only because I am a big guy. But honestly, it was fine.
We liked that it was a quiet location with good and safe parking spots. It is easy to find, you're in nature in a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee in the balcony, very close to Marigot Bay and we appreciated it had a laundry option and kitchen basics like coffee, sugar, etc. Pat was beyond helpful and accommodating and this made all the difference. I could not recommend the place more. If you are exploring the island by car, this is an excellent location to have as a base.

United KingdomYou need a car to get around but there is nothing not to like about the property.
Our host Pat was amazing. Upon arrival, not only was she there waiting for us but had left shopping in the fridge for our breakfast. 😇 She continuously checked in on us and provided local information. On our last day she prepared a St Lucian breakfast, saltfish with bakes. It was delicious and spicey. Property was exceptionally clean and modern. Had all the essential homely items. The outside pace was Fab, a pool to cool down in and a lounge to relax in. There was also a washing machine and clothes horse if you needed it.

United KingdomWe had the upper floor apartment and there was hardly any hot water pressure in the shower. Even though Pat tried it wasn’t fixed during our stay. The balcony in front is very nice but the road is right in front of the property and can be noisy.
It’s a very nice and well equipped apartment. The pool is an added bonus. Location close to Anse la Raye is nice, too. The owner, Pat is very present and will try everything to make your stay nice. Royal escape and Royal escape-2 are all part of the same property. We chose the upper floor apartment of Escape 2 which is very nice indeed.

JordanPerhaps a second fan in the open plan room as it's a large room and there is no ceiling fan. The Bedroom has AC which is really helpful to keep the mosquitos out. You can't avoid the Mosquitos- its a tropical island!
Liked: host, their attentiveness and effort to make us feel welcome, informed about local events/places. The apartment has good quality, clean furniture as well equipped kitchen, lovely views from front room ( a little sea view and lots of gorgeous thick green forested area). Pat and Nathanial went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, fresh coconut water and a very thoughtful gift for my birthday. Royal Escape 2 is where we stayed and I think the best view ( top floor with long distance view of the sea). Clean bathroom, nice white sheets/towels. We loved our stay and the option of supporting a family run, local business is very important in St Lucia. Pat and Nathanial's Apartment are all good value for money. It's mid way between south and north so a good location IF you have your own vehicle ( which we did). It would be difficult and a bit isolating if you don't have your own wheels as taxis can run expensive ( if staying for more than 2-3 days). Bring your own fresh coffee from home if you like fresh coffee ( a bit pricey in SL) There is a a good coffee filter machine.

The property is modern and very tastefully furnished. It was spotlessly clean and tidy when we arrived. We loved the little swimming pool to help cool off after a busy day out sight seeing. For those who don’t have a car, it is conveniently right on the bus route. Pat went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect - even driving us to the supermarket on our first day and picking us up from a local restaurant so we didn’t have to walk back in the dark. She was extremely kind and thoughtful.

What can I say about the Royal Escape? Wow! An absolutely amazing place, hosted by the loveliest and most genuine host. The property is beautiful and peaceful, perfectly situated close to the road for convenient bus access. We stayed in a spacious one-bedroom apartment upstairs that was beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. The view was lovely, with a distant glimpse of the ocean. Pat, our host, was incredibly involved and attentive. Her communication and care for our experience were beyond 5-star! She went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed, even picking up items from the supermarket for us and driving us to places in her personal vehicle. Her kindness and generosity were simply unmatched. The small pool was perfect for a refreshing dip in the hot weather, just the right size. The AC in the bedroom was a lifesaver, making for a cool and comfortable sleep every night.
