Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaWe liked everything. It is up a small hill so anyone with mobility issues should check.
Great owner, Robert. Very helpful and made arrangements for taxi services on St V and Bequia. Nice staff. Only a minute to the beach, chair rentals available. Several restaurants and beach bar within walking distance.

United KingdomThere is nothing we didn't like. Note to potential guests: there are number of steps within the property.
Fantastic view of the bay from our room and the communal area. The owner and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was very good. We also had dinner one evening at the property prepared by Robert, the owner. Excellent food in an intimate atmosphere. Also, Robert can assist you with travel arrangements on the island and from St Vincent.

United StatesIf you have trouble walking up hills this might not be the best place for you. Its a bit of an uphill hike from the beach to your room. If you are in shape, or can manage with a few breaks then I wouldn't let this stop me. The rooms were a bit dated and could use an overhaul. The bed was clean and comfortable though. The fridge in the room was pitted from the salt air and not very pleasant to look at.
The location of the retreat was very close to a secluded beach. It was basically at the end of their driveway. There were also a few restaurants right near the end of the driveway which was very convenient. The women who worked at the retreat were absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and talkative. Robert, was just Robert. He's a unique guy who I liked very much. He made us feel very welcome.

Many faulty items in room - sink water poured straight into the cupboard the state of the fridge the plug sockets that didn’t work the shower control that was broken - cold showers for 3 days before we realised you could move broken parts. Same breakfast every day - eggs
This property is all about the view and the warm welcome from Robert the owner and Chloe and Roxanne his staff

United StatesThe room was unfortunatley not what we expected. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, we woke up in pain. The mosquite net didn't quite cover the entire bed and it got really hot/uncomfortable in the rooms (no ac), but we had to leave the doors (with mesh screen) open to let any air into the room. Mosquitos were able to get under the door because there was a small space not covered by the mesh. We had to leave in the middle of our stay because it was really hard to sleep and relax in our bedroom.
The Sweet Retreat is in a lovely location, tucked away in the corner of the mountain. It has incredible views of the bay, seriously stunning views. The Staff is also very helpful/lovely.

Host is entertaining and super friendly, has many stories on many topics of the island Light on stairs not working. Fixed at first night. Simple but spacious room. No tea or coffeemaker or fresh water. There is a fridge. Shower bit outdated but warm. Breakfast is everyday the same: ssme fresh fruit bowl, omelet with ham, banana cake. Location: Great snorkeling at 40m at the local reef. Very nice and quiet beach. If you value hostmenship higher - as we do - go for it.
