Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesOnly problem was water getting in the unit under the door due to no weather stripping on the door frame or a water tight sweep on the bottom of the door. No damage to the unit because of the tile flooring. We just mopped it up with a towel. Varna sealed the door with a towel on day #3. Was informed that parts on order to fix this minor problem. FYI I am an engineer & was impressed with the quality of the construction of Calderas Villas. Therefore it is amusing to me this was overlooked.
The location was great. Walking distance to many restaurants (Orlando's, Fig Tree, Marvin's just down the road, Felicity, etc). Also close to a very nice beach with a scuba dive shop. Great view from the balcony (unit #3). Close to many of the sites to visit on St Lucia (Diamond Waterfalls, Sulfur Springs, etc).

United KingdomThe lighting could have been more flexible and less stark (e.g. a few extra lamps and some less intense cold white bulbs). A teapot is always very welcome for UK guests :)
Excellent size of the apartment, very good facilities in the rooms and very clean. The host was very helpful and responded very quickly to any queries. The view was amazing!

Very modern, spacious and huge bathrooms!! Felt like everything was brand new! Fantastic views over the town and Piton, just like the picture!!

United StatesAbsolutely nothing! The place was exactly as described and what we needed it to be.
We loved our stay at Caldera Villas! Communication with Valna was easy and always helpful. The villa was exactly as pictured - super clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable, spacious, and with an incredible view of the city. We loved being able to walk to the grocery store and to various restaurants in town, as well as being able to have coffee on the balcony in the morning. Sugar Beach and Anse Chastanet Beach were easy drives from the villa, as was the Gros Piton Trail. One thing that we didn't expect but really appreciated was the availability of type A plugs in all the rooms, so we didn't have to use an adapter. I highly recommend staying at Caldera Villas and hope to return in the future. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

United StatesThis property is amazing. Everything seems to be brand new and is sparkling clean. The showers are huge and hot water is plentiful. The kitchen has a large fridge/freezer, microwave, and stove top. There is a balcony overlooking the Petit Peton. It is the same view as the Fig, but much more economical (see attached photo). Town/beach is within walking distance. The owner was easy to get a hold of and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

The view is amazing and the host (Valna) was very helpful. She went out of the way to ensure we have everything we need during our stay. She helped us make reservation at the restaurants. The location is close by everything. It is like 5 mins walk to Olando Resturant. There is Humming bird beach down the road. Seashell restaurant is just 5 mins walk (Amazing view). This property is by the road and easy to find even if you drive at night.

United States1) The bathroom is missing a catch in the piping so odors waft into the restroom from the pipes. 2) We did not have water for a couple hours 1 morning; however, the hos arranged a beautiful and convenient alternative while the issue was addressed. 3) There is construction of 2 aparterments below the 4 finished apartments. 4) While not an issue and seemingly common in St Lucia, the air conditioning are located in the bedrooms and there is no AC in the common room.
Great location, beautiful view, great shower, very convenient parking. We wouldn't definitely stay here again!

CanadaI have to say my husband and I enjoyed it all so much and hated to leave.
We just got back from a amazing two week vacation here at Caldera Villas. The hosts Valana and Eddison were absolutely amazing and kind. They greeted us as we arrived at the Villa after arranging a ride from the airport for us. The Villas are new and very impressive and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen was set up with everything for cooking with a induction cooktop and microwave, we did cook a lot of our meals there. Our location was not far from most of the tourist attractions, hikes, sulfur springs and bath and waterfalls. The beauty and nature is absolutely beautiful. Doing a sulfur bath is a must we did it twice it felt so good. If you are comfortable it is worth renting a car to get around, we did for three days, Valana arranged our rental. (You drive on the opposite side of the road)

United StatesThis place exceeded my expectations, truly. Nothing to do with Caldera Villas, but I think a car rental is necessary. You can walk about a 10-15 mins to a market and some restaurants, but a car rental would have optimized my trip overall. Arranging a taxi can definitely be a hassle (and expensive).
This is an exceptional alternative to the expensive resorts in the area. Was better & bigger than the photos suggest. Bathrooms/showers are huge. Marble throughout. Perfect direct views of Petit Piton and Soufrière harbor. Spacious balcony. Caught golden hour sunsets and rainbows (seriously) while horizontal on the living room couch. Short walk to bus station, taxis, water taxis. Plenty of parking space if you rent a car. The kitchen with cookware, plates, glasses, wine glasses, cutlery, microwave, etc is very nice touch if you want to cook. Would be my first choice on next visit to St Lucia.
