Guest Reviews

• glenns1 (10/5): - Peter was a great host and very accommodating. Room etc was perfect after a long day of walking. Breakfast was great and the coffee was fab just what we needed to kick start our day
• Bettylou (10/5): We would come to Cornwall / St. Ives again just to stay here - Large comfortable rooms, well-situated location near harbor, ocean views Nothing. Our hosts were gracious and immensely helpful
• Samantha (7/5): Lovely, cost-effective stay close to town - Lovely and bright, nice views, spacious, and in a very good location at the top end of town. Needs a little more care and attention, a few small changes to the room and it’d be perfect. Mainly, the bed was too soft.
• Sonam (10/5): - Very neat and clean, host and location great.

• ruth (10/5): Superb value for money a lovely stay - Absolutely stunning location and an easy walk to access the centre of St.Ives. Awesome room and SUPERB breakfast with the host having the perfect mix of welcoming but giving space also. Nothing
• robert (8/5): -

• Rich (10/5): Relaxing,great views of st ives,delicious breakfast,amazing host - Lovely welcoming Andrea,views from sea,very close walking into st ives ,delicious fruit salad,really tasty cooked breakfast and accommodating to items may not like,liked local bread for toast good selection of jams and orange juice, Lots of ideas given for local places to see really helpful We had room at front which was very spacious and lovely views of st ives Enjoyed the relaxed st ives atmosphere and everyone so friendly. Adult only hotel was refreshing no children. Highly recommend local bakery’s in st ives selling cruffins Limited parking but made use of nearby leisure centre carpark reasonably priced and brief walk from organic park panda but there is station car park close by overlooking beach could be handy This didn’t effect our stay
• Pamela (9/5): Lovely St Ives Bed and Breakfast - The location was brilliant. Just a short walk to all the beaches and the harbour in St Ives. We didn’t realize that St Ives was such a hilly town but Peter and Andrea’s B and B was situated closer to the harbour so just one short climb. Very doable. Also very close to the train station which really helped us as we were travelling by train. Peter and Andrea were extremely helpful giving us great advice about things to see and do around the area and Peter cooked a great breakfast that kept us going all day. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was a perfect stay.
• David (8/5): Nice place - Nice place, big rooms, nice host. Near town centre Traffic woke us early
• Per (8/5): Very good - Very helpful host!
• Fiona (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gisela (8/5): Very good - the room was large and airy. The sea view was fantastic The value for money was not quite right as the rooms were not cleaned. Breakfast was a bit disorganized as you were not told exactly what was available. For example, there was no cereal and milk or yoghurt on the table, you had to ask for everything: I found that a bit unpleasant.
• Hilary (8/5): A well located relaxing place to stay. - The host was very personable and had lots a great local information. The breakfast was really good and we were accommodated with an early start. A welcoming relaxed place to stay. We had a very small room, but, I have to say it was as expected. It had everything we needed.
• Michael (3/5): Great location, good host, better value elsewhere. - Location was good. Peter was a good host. Lovely old building with a nice view. Breakfast was good. Daily housekeeping was not provided as stated on the Booking website. Parking is very difficult unless you want to pay 10 pounds per day. The 2 single beds were not comfortable and there was not really enough space in the room to put two bags on the floor. Heated towel rail did not work and the towels did not seem to absorb water and felt wet. While the room seemed to be old but clean, attention to cleaning detail was lacking.
• Marie (9/5): Pleasant stay at organic panda - Good location Helpful & friendly hosts Nothing
• Art (10/5): A great find in St Ives - Friendly service and the host went above and beyond to make our stay special.
• Anthony (9/5): Superb -
• Bruce (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jennifer (10/5): Room with a View - superb! - n a world of increasingly bland hospitality, Organic Panda with its creative flair, original artwork and genuine sense of welcome, made for a sterling stay. The bedroom was regal, the sea view lovely, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The host, Peter, was a gem. The location couldn’t be better, with both beach and town a short stroll away. A lovely treat altogether - I’ll be back!
• Mattia (1/5): Bad - Posizione A nightmare disguised as an “organic” stay – absolutely to be avoided. We booked “Organic Panda” in Saint Ives through Booking, misled by carefully curated photos and a misleading description that suggested a cozy, private accommodation. The reality was shocking. Upon arrival, we discovered that it was not a private lodging at all, but rather a shared house in a dilapidated state, where the owner rents out three rooms to unsuspecting guests. No privacy, poorly maintained common areas, and a depressing hostel-like atmosphere. Nothing charming about it. The house was dirty, smelly, and neglected in every way. The bed sheets and towels were clearly used, smelled awful, and were completely unfit for any kind of hospitality. The air inside was unbearable – a mix of humidity, mold, and stale kitchen odors that clung to everything, including our clothes. The so-called “included breakfast” was surreal: served at a communal table with complete strangers, using questionable utensils and ingredients of shockingly low quality. The food was inedible, and the level of hygiene was nonexistent. The salt and sugar were so damp and clumped together they looked like concrete. The smell coming from the kitchen was nauseating and spread throughout the entire house, making the stay unbearable. As if all that wasn’t enough, we discovered a hidden room in the attic – yes, really – accessible through a trapdoor concealed behind a bookshelf. That room, too, was being rented out. It felt like something out of a horror movie. Complete madness. And the price? €180 per night for two people. A complete scam for what is essentially a filthy, uncomfortable, and poorly run shared house. We spent a nearly sleepless night due to the overall discomfort and literally left feeling sick to our stomachs. Terrible experience. Strongly advise against it. Booking should seriously reconsider the properties it allows on its platform – this one is a disgrace and a trap for travelers.
• Martina (7/5): Good - Fabulous breakfast
• Liam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mary (8/5): Very good - Delicious breakfast especially the sausages and mushrooms. The BnB is perched on a hill overlooking the bay. Lovely to gaze out over the sea to the horizon from the sitting room in the morning.
• Sherry (10/5): Exceptional - Location was perfect for walking 🚶‍♂️ and host was fantastic!
• Edge (9/5): Superb - great host. brilliant breakfast. great location
• Williamson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laura (10/5): highly reccomended - Great style and lovely host. Perfect stay.
• Alison (6/5): I wouldn't recommend - Location is good, great sea views as it's high up. The host was friendly and helpful. Room was big. Bed was comfortable. The property is very tired looking. Carpet on stairs is very marked and gruby looking. Curtains in room stained from condensation, the linings were torn. One bulb in bathroom ceiling lights not working. The temperature control in the shower was lose, in fact it came away in my hand. Kettle not easy to access as it's plugged in on bottom of a shelf (have to unplug the whole thing to take it to fill with water) It's advertised as having breakfast included so you'd expect to have some sort of breakfast menu. This isn't the case. You have to ask each morning what is available, and it is limited. Filter coffee extremely weak. No breakfast pastries offered. I asked for fresh orange juice one morning, was given half a small glass and told that was all that was left. I could understand this if occupancy was high, but as there were only a couple of people staying, this is very poor. I felt uncomfortable having to ask what was available for breakfast. The property is up for sale and this was reflected in the overall look and feeling of the place
• Jennifer (8/5): Good location - Great location near station and town centre. Would suit someone who wants a room in a private house, communal breakfast, friendly host etc rather than hotel/B&B. Twin room was quite small and had a view of a road, no sea view. Large shower. Some provisions. Limited breakfast options offered. Weak coffee. No milk in room. Bin emptied each day.
• Claire (8/5): Very good -
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• Anja (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anne (8/5): We felt welcomed and safe and enjoyed a lovely breakfast with the other guests staying at the property. - The location was great , easy to walk into town . It was clean and very warm and the host was very helpful . Our twin room was small for two adults and the decoration was boring .
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Peter was very friendly and funny. the bed was very comfortable It was a comfortable atmosphere didn't feel in a rush for us to leave. The Traffic outside but no other issues.
• David (10/5): Excellent breakfast, very Friendly owner who was very kind, lovely location and spacious room with amazing views - Excellent view from the room, great location very close to centre of town. Nothing
• Judith (10/5): A wonderful, peaceful stay and excellent value for money. - A fabulous breakfast, home cooked to my individual requirements by a friendly host who was a great cook. Lovely vegeterian food, excellent cooking.,, home made jam and marmalade. Nothing; it was perfect for me.

• Georgeta (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice location. The rooms are very nice and clean and with a nice view.
• Angela (9/5): We had a great time and would stay at Organic Panda again. - Peter was incredibly welcoming and took time and trouble to talk to us and provide us with advice. He went out to buy gluten free bread for one of us. He provided a wonderful breakfast and we enjoyed sitting at a communal table with other guests.
• Nadine (9/5): Superb - Peter was very kind and polite. We enjoyed his recommendations along our stay.
• Judy (6/5): Overpriced for a very average stay. - The location was convenient for walking into the town and for the bus and train stations. The breakfast was good. The host was attentive. The owner was in the process of selling the property and the lack of attention to the property showed. The bedroom was very small and the bathroom needed updating. The shower was dark and dingy. The flatscreen TV was the same size as an A4 pad stuck up in the top corner of the room. The stair carpet had seen better days. The garden was like a jungle.
• Lisa (8/5): Very good - Lovely hosts. Lovely location. Great breakfast Parking space. No milk in the room. Although you are welcome to get some from the kitchen anytime. But not so easy when you want to grab a coffee first thing in the morning. The side lights were quite dusty, we didn't mind, but it may bother others.
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sue (10/5): Exceptional, I can’t rate it highly enough. - Everything & Peter was outstanding. Nothing
• Barbara (5/5): Passable -
• Bayley (5/5): I would not go back - The location Room wasn’t clean. Dirty bathroom. Bedding and towels didn’t smell fresh
• Georgina (10/5): Perfect short break, just wish I made it longer - Perfect location for the beach and town. Breakfast was so good and the hosts were great, so friendly and helpful. I liked everything. There really is nothing to complain about.
