How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe breakfast was great and the idea was a wonderful idea since we arrived late at the accommodation and didn't have time to do any shopping etc. Ms.Pat ensured that we had activities planned and even gave us tips and ideas on things we can do. She even provided us with a taxi which was exceptional. The accommodation is close to the road which allowed us to take the public bus to Casties. I loved and enjoyed my stay there and would definitely recommend.
Good day Shianna, Thanks for sharing your experience at Royal Escape. We're happy you enjoyed our service and facilities. We will gladly host you again. Take care.

Verified reviewWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming accommodation! The room was surprisingly spacious, with high ceilings and a comfortable layout. While the view might not be panoramic, the surrounding trees and lush canopy created a peaceful atmosphere, making us feel like we were nestled in a tropical haven. A major plus was the easy access – just a short 50m stroll from the main road, with convenient parking. No harrowing mountain roads to navigate! What truly made our stay special, however, was the warm and communicative host. The room's design and atmosphere felt more like staying in a friend's home, rather than a impersonal hotel. It was a welcome respite from the typical hotel experience. We highly recommend this cozy retreat to anyone seeking a relaxing, home-away-from-home experience in St. Lucia!

Verified reviewOur 8 day stay in St. Lucia was awesome. The spacious 3 bedroom apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals when we wanted, and eating on the covered patio with warm tropical breezes was so relaxing. Our hostess, Pam is a lovely person who was helpful in finding the best restaurants and activities. Couldn't have been better and we look forward to returning.
Some road noise

Verified reviewPat is a lovely and generous host who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay at Royal Escape. She made us feel at home and even bought eggs for us when we could not find any at the local grocery store. The three-bedroom apartment is very spacious and gets amazing natural light. Pat was happy to help us book a taxi for the Gros Islet street party and recommended local restaurants and beaches by activities we were doing in Soufriere and Castries. Highly recommend staying here!

Verified reviewPat was an incredible hostess. She is extremely friendly and very helpful. She recommended the places to visit. She cooked us fish stew which was delicious and also gave us souvenirs to take home. This was very nice and generous of her. Housekeeper Lucy was excellent too. We had a lovely 31 nights stay. Having her on site was a bonus. The apartment was very comfortable and the whole property is very safe and clean.
I can not find any fault with this property or the hostess. Everything was so perfect.

Verified reviewOur hostess Pat was warm and welcoming and accommodated our request to check in early. Our apartment was large, spacious and had a lovely veranda for relaxing. She thoughtfully provided breakfast ingredients for us to get us started the next morning. She provided a very comprehensive welcome book with lots of good suggestions about places to eat, activities and local resources. Pat is a genuinely pleasant person who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The Royal Escape is well worth a stay.

Verified reviewPat was an amazing and generous host. The apartment was spacious, super clean, with beautiful furniture, comfortable beds, and well equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed staying here over Christmas. Pat even bought and cooked us fish and gave us Christmas ham and delicious cake. She recommended lots of local places to visit. The boys enjoyed playing basketball and swimming in the pool. It was the best accommodation we had stayed in at St Lucia.
Dear Lucie, We really appreciate this great review. Thank You! We will always remember you and your beautiful family. We enjoyed having you during Christmas. Please come again.

Verified reviewExceptionally comfortable We had a very pleasant stay in Saint Lucia in large thanks to this lovely apartment. Our friendly hostess Pat gave us a warm welcome and helped us find our way around on the island. The apartment was very clean and fully accommodated our needs. We also liked the fact that the apartment was favorably located on the island so we could do a lot of sightseeing in short period of time. We definitely recommend this apartment to those who are looking for comfortable place from where they can easily discover one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
Good day Mr. Henk, Thanks for your lovely review. I really enjoyed hosting your family. Thanks for staying with us. Hope to see you again if you visit St. Lucia

Verified reviewThe Royal Escape is on the west side of St Lucia centrally located to most of the islands beaches and attractions. The accommodations were spacious, well stocked and clean. Pat and Nat were easily accessible for questions or if we needed anything. They were very professional, respectful and courteous and provided recommendations on beaches, restaurants, grocery store and other attractions and services. The pool was a lovely place to hang out and relax if we didn’t want to travel for a day.

Verified reviewI loved my time at Royal Escape. Pat, Nathaniel and Lucy made sure I was very comfortable and took extra steps to ensure I enjoyed my stay. This included helping me organise taxis and transfers, and telling about activities to do in the area. The accommodation was perfect for what I was after. It was very clean, spacious and well equipped to cook if I wanted to. It was a great oasis and felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. The accommodation is close to Anse Le Raye, Marigot Bay and Ti Kaye resort where you can get a day pass to use the beach for $10.
I would recommend a car if possible as it does open up a lot of options for you
Dear Juliet, Thanks for this lovely review. Happy that you loved the accommodation and service provided. We feel encouraged. Take care.

Verified reviewThe accommodations were absolutely wonderful and pictures just as advertised. Our apartment was very spacious and offered a full kitchen and a luxurious bathroom with a spa tub and a view of the ocean. The facility is not in town but a neighborhood which felt more private and exclusive. The small pool and back yard area was a very nice place to retreat to and relax or take a dip. Pat and Nathaniel were very gracious hosts, who not only provided supplies for our first breakfast but also researched and provided information about local activities and transportation etc. We cannot speak highly enough of Pat and Nathaniel, who were so very nice and made sure we were comfortable.
Dear Laurie, Thanks for this great review. Thanks for the great conversations we had, and for the inspiration you gave. Happy to have met you. All the best.

Verified reviewThe Royal Escape was a beautiful piece of property situated in the middle of the west coast. It was well-maintained,,beautiful and our apartment was well stocked. Pat and Nathaniel even drove us a couple of places as we did not have a car. She is a wealth of knowledge and helped us figure out where to go and how to do it.!
Having a car probably would’ve been easier to get around the island however, the two lane roads are very hilly with Sterns, U-turns, and crazy drivers! I grew up in Boston, so I know how to drive in a city, but my husband not so much especially on the left side of the road!
