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 StatesThe road to the property is pretty rough, especially on a lower car and rental car. We gathered some rocks to fill in some of the bigger holes as best we could. Not the property's fault, but we didn't realize it was Jazz festival and one of the concerts was below us, so it was a bit loud during their set up nights and on the night of the concert. Again, not the property's fault, but there are also the usual island roosters and local honking at the wee hours of the morning. Wifi did not always work on the deck.
Whitney was very responsive to questions prior to our arrival, as well as once we were on site. We had a nice view of the town from our balcony! We enjoyed the plunge pool and access to a grill. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The kitchen gave us what we needed to make some basic meals with a supermarket a short drive away. Overall, it met our needs!

United KingdomNothing - just be aware it's up a big ish hill out of the town centre. We did a mixture of walking and taxis.
We had a great stay at Sugarmon. The apartment was spacious with comfy beds and well equipped for our needs. Whitney was outstanding, going above and beyond several times. It made our trip really special. Watching the hummingbirds off the balcony and admiring the amazing view was perfect.

United KingdomThe kitchen and appliances was quite dated, our other family's villa had a poor conduction hob and their fridge/freezer was weak but our villa had a stove with gas tank connection. No oven tray to use in the oven, one provided was too big and the oven door didnt shut. The plunge pool needed cleaning at the bottom, maybe a cover for the night time, and the steps into it needed replacing as they were rusty, rickety and moved with weight on, but still it was lovely to have. Beware - the road into the villa is rocky and has ditches and tonnes of holes. If you hire a car, you will need to go easy! I would advise doing research on which taxi driver to use if you need one, we were recommended David but we realised he was fleecing us as local friends told us so we stopped using him - his prices kept changing every day even though we were going to the same areas, not cool! Also they work on a connection basis so they were calling David for recommendations in what the cost would be for a boat ride etc even though it would have nothing to do with him.
Whitney was so much help from start to end. Bathroom was well stocked and clean. Kitchen also well stocked. Size was perfect and the huge bed was so comfortable, I slept like a log. Kitchen had appliances which worked very well. The hosts offered us another room to use for the day while we waited for our flight but we didnt end up using it in the end, still it was so handy that they were able to assist. The view is stunning! Great to wake up to every morning, balcony is a sun trap. Aircon worked well.

United KingdomThe Villa has an incredible view of Soufrière and the Piton Mountains, with a short walk or drive down to the nearest beach it is an ideal location for anyone wanting a lowkey stay in Saint Lucia. The small private pool of the property is perfect for a dip after a long day in the sun.

United KingdomIt's actually very hard to get to the accommodation, we had a Jimny hired and we were afraid we would get it damaged because of the side road in order to get to the accommodation. Very, very bumpy and it could damage a car. Also, we didn't know if we could get additional fresh towels for our staying (10 days), poor water shower pressure and the table in our balcony was ripped. There were some ants as well in the kitchen we tried to ignore them.
We liked the freedom we had around the building, very nice apartment, very cosy pool and beautiful outstanding view from our balcony. Situated so close to the town centre and 15 minutes drive to Sugar Beach. The kitchen has everything you need, it's a very cosy accommodation and good value for money. The bed was really big and comfortable.

United KingdomWe had a great 4 night stay at Sugarmon Good value accommodation in Soufriere which is nearby to a lot of the main St Lucia sites and walkable to the town and beach (on the road but many people walk just have your wits about you and walk on the sensible side) it is a bit steep on the way back but manageable Balcony was lovely, comfortable bed, air con, clean and spacious Our host organised taxis /a driver for us to visit the sites and also helped recommend a water taxi. This was great especially as he waited for us between sites so we could go to places when they were really quiet (such as botanical garden and waterfall) without rushing, and stop at a supermarket. But it’s worth knowing taxis are expensive in St Lucia so hire a car if you need - we managed without but it is pricy (eg 60usd for round trip to a destination 15-20 min away) Shower could have been more powerful/warmer and the kitchen slightly more equipped but this is good value accommodation so expectations not for everything to be perfect View was lovely and lots of hummingbirds in the trees Recommend seashells on the beach for drinks and food (amazing virgin pina colada) and a nice place to watch the sunset Recommend ‘big red maximum chill’ for water taxis- again, all are expensive, but they were pretty reliable and friendly. They are based on the walk down from the Villa near to seashells

United StatesWe took a more difficult driving route when arriving at the property for the first time, but realized there is an easier way with host’s help. The road is a little scary at first, but we found it navigable with a little patience and without 4x4.
Great location, spacious accommodations, equipped with kitchenette and balcony with lovely mountain views and excellent birdwatching! The location is perfect, just a short drive to town but far enough away to avoid noise and traffic and to have wonderful views. We found the apartment to be very comfortable, with no noise and a good shower. The balcony is especially lovely for enjoying a coffee and birdwatching. There is a pool area that we didn’t have time to use, but looked nice. We hope to come back soon!

United KingdomWe loved our stay here, apartment was clean, comfortable bed and the views are amazing. Would recommend hiring a car due to the location up a hill, the walk into town is doable, takes about 10-15 minutes however car makes it easier if you want to bring food/drinks etc back from supermarket, also a must for getting around the island for sightseeing.

United KingdomWe were told before arrival that there was a drip coffee machine, so we bought ground coffee. When we arrived we mentioned that there wasn't a coffee machine in the kitchen, not as a complaint but rather in case it had been stolen. In less than 5 minutes the manager/owner was at our front door with a brand new coffee machine still in its packaging!

Fabulous views. If you’re a bird watcher bring your binoculars- we saw loads from the balcony. Spotlessly clean. Owners very helpful - letting us into the property early was much appreciated. Don’t be put off by the hill - yes it’s a long hot walk but we’re a couple of oldies and managed just fine.

United KingdomNothing really. If being fussy then I'd have loved a table and chairs in the kitchen for when too wet to eat on the balcony. Be aware that the road to the villa is not paved and has a lot of rocks. It's a little scary first time, but you get used to it. I would not recommend staying here if you don't plan to hire a car - it is a necessity.
Lovely spacious apartment with stunning views. We loved watching all the hummingbirds and other wildlife from the balcony and by the pool. Great location - all the sights are no more than 15 minute drive away. There's also a Massy supermarket about 5 minutes away by car. It was so peaceful - just sounds of nature and the local cockerals.
