Guest Reviews
- Brenda (7/5): Meets needs for a short stay. Very accommodating host. - Close to the airport. Close to beaches, Red Rocks, Chocolate factory, and gin microbrewery. Street noise. Ocean view would have been nice from the room and balcony.
- Nikolai (10/5): Sensationelle Unterkunft in schöner Umgebung - Alles perfekt, wir waren sehr zufrieden und wären gerne länger geblieben. Das Abendessen und die Cocktails unten in der Sandbar waren auch sensationell. Sehr nette, liebenswert Menschen - in der Unterkunft wie in der Bar.
- Timo (10/5): Seh schöne Wohnung direkt über dem Meer - Die Lage war richtig gut. Das Bett steht quasi direkt neben dem Meer im 1.OG. Die Wohnung ist groß. Im EG ist die Calibishie Sandbar, diese ist auch richtig gut. Der Balkon ist auch sehr groß und herrlich für das Frühstück am Morgen. Die küchenausstattung war außergewöhnlich gut. Alles in einem top Zustand. Das Bett könnte bequemer sein. Zum Baden ist es vor Ort eher nicht geeignet, der Number One Beach und der Batibu Beach sind jedoch in der Nähe (5min mit dem Auto).
- Vivica (10/5): Our favorite guest house - It was amazing! Probably our favorite guest house we have ever been to. Location is impeccable, you wake up seeing the sea, feeling the breeze through the open window. Perfect relaxation!! Bed is wonderful, not as hard as often in the region.
Everything you need is in the spacious room (water kettle, microwave, etc).
Next door is a supermarket and a breakfast spot. On the ground floor there is a great restaurant (taste the fried shrimp!).
Last but not least: Christine is a wonderful host, with great recommendations in the region and beyond.
We can highly recommend!
- Kristin (10/5): - The location is excellent, we loved the food at the bar downstairs. The private balcony in the ocean view room is amazing, a great place to relax and watch the pelicans! I was a little concerned that the room didn’t have air conditioning but we found that the fan and the breezes coming through the windows kept us cool enough. The room is well appointed with dishes, silverware, and cups in case you want to prepare food. Christine was very responsive, if there was anything we needed, I’m sure she would have sorted it out for us!
- marie josé (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): - Gute Lage, sehr sauber und nette Vermieterin
- Sukru (9/5): -
- Nicole (9/5): We had a wonderfull stay at the Sandbar! The location is great with the sounds of the ocean always present. The apartmen - The location and the view. The cleanliness and the welcoming owner. Comfortable bed. Nothing.
- jean pierre (10/5): - Tout Rien
- Andreas (10/5): -
- stephen (10/5): Great place,great hostess - Christine was so helpful Nothing
- Karin (8/5): - Mooie locatie met veel levendigheid in de buurt. Heel veel muggen in de omgeving.
Het huisje heeft allemaal horren wat fijn is.
- Luck (10/5): - La vue depuis la chambre, le balcon et l'emplacement du logement est exceptionnel !
L'hôte a été super sympa et le logement très propre.
De plus, le restaurant Situé juste en bas est très bon et offre une vue sur la mer et Marie galante juste magnifique !
- jlothaburu (9/5): - L’accueil de Christine et ses conseils de visites
- myke (10/5): On the beach - it is located right on the beach and in the centre of the village, the restaurant below was also excellent try and get the ocean side if it is available, I stayed on the street side which was fine but you can't hear the waves
- Kevin (4/5): - What was advertise wasn’t what we got
- Mark (10/5): Beautiful view, spacious appartment in beautiful part of Dominica - Incredible view. Spacious appartement. Christine is a kind and attentive host. The place is very clean. There are some very good restaurants at crawling distance. Perfect spot to explore the north of Dominica, which is less touristy and has some very nice beaches. It is a long drive from the ferry port, quite challenging when it’s dark, but doable .
The main attractions in the south are quite far for a day trip
- Olaf (10/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt gut gelegen . Essen und einkaufsmoeglichkeiten..nah dabei
Es gibt rhum Punsch & more
- simon (8/5): - Friendly host, pleasant room, but note photo is for seafront appt!
Calibishe beach is very dirty with junk and builders rubbish dumps.
Local restaurants poor value
- Lise (10/5): Comfortable stay and wonderful host! - The Sandbar was a great location the night before our flight out. It's close to the airport, great beaches, and the chocolate factory.
The room itself was quiet and relaxing right near the beach and had a comfy bed and warm shower with good water pressure.
Our host, Christine, was fantastic! She was friendly, helpful, and even let us check out late so we could go to the beach and come back to shower before our flight.
We would definitely stay here again!
- Joan (10/5): Exceptional - This guest apartment is located nicely for walking to local restaurants and an easy drive to surrounding destinations. The kitchen area had a variety of utensils, if you wish to prepare a simple meal and the bed was great. Everything was neat and clean, with easy communication. Street noise was noticeable only on the weekend and fairly well mitigated when windows are closed. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
- Jorge (10/5): A hidden gem in every sense, with the most incredible location—perched right above the ocean - This place holds a truly special place in our hearts! A hidden gem in every sense, with the most incredible location—perched right above the ocean, giving you the feeling of being surrounded by the sea. The soothing sounds of the waves create an atmosphere of pure serenity.
What made our experience even more unforgettable was Christine. Her genuine care and kindness feel like they belong to a bygone era. She was always attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Christine has a remarkable soul, and we sincerely hope to meet her again someday.
Thank you for everything—you gave us the most amazing time! Visiting Dominica was an extraordinary opportunity, and we are forever grateful for the memories we made here.
- Gail (8/5): Very good -
- Ilya (9/5): Superb - I liked how big the shower was and the ample amount of hot water available. There's a restaurant downstairs that's open for lunch and dinner. This occumodation does not come with breakfast but you can find good options near by. The room gets pretty hot at night even with windows open. It's not the fault of the host, that's just how hot this location gets. A few extra fans would be wonderful.
- Liang (10/5): Good experience - location is good,you can find everything you need .
The owner is nice,she will help you for all you need
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - Christine is an amazing host. She is very kind and will provide good advice during your stay !
The beach downstairs is perfect to enjoy before or after a day visiting Dominica.
- Chadwick (10/5): - Amazing coastal town and only a short drive from the major destinations in the Northern part of the island. Christine is a kind and attentive host that was very flexible and accommodating with check in times. Lee’s restaurant and bar, Love @ First Bite is incredible and he is a great guy. Very welcoming and relaxing town and lodging.
- Derri (10/5): Lovely stay with a lovely host, would 100% book again - Clean well presented and decorated property. Had everything I needed a nice shower was located by plenty of restaurants and bars. Close to little market shop and ATM
I found the WiFi to be better than on other islands really quick to upload Facebook posts and have video chats with friends.
The host was fantastic and the reason I picked the place… very accommodating and went above and beyond. Some of the locals could be a bit loud and party but it didn’t go on too late and was only on the weekends… if I wasn’t a single woman alone I would have joined them lol.
You can’t really swim at the beach there due to the coral but it was still beautiful and I’m just being picky
- Nina (10/5): We loved it here. - The location of Christine's place can't be beaten, we could stare out at that view all day every day. The place was immaculate and had everything needed and the town has great places to eat. Its a great neighbourhood spot and Christine is a legend. Nothing
- Karl (9/5): Super convenient and comfy - Super friendly and helpful host All very good
- Hilary (9/5): Superb - Calibishie Sandbar was our first stop and a great way to kick off our two weeks in Dominica! Christine was excellent, the balcony over the ocean perfect for unwinding and there was everything we needed. Great wifi, equipped kitchenette for light food prep, easy to find, walking distance to restaurants and a mini market.
- Philippa (9/5): Would stay here again. - We were directly over the ocean with a beautiful deck and a view to Marie Galante and Guadeloupe. We loved opening the windows to hear the waves and feel the sea breeze. It was very spacious with quirky but charming decor. The bathroom was large with a nice shower. Very clean and reasonably priced. Close to restaurants. We had the large room upstairs. We did not hear any street noise at night. There is not much parking space on the busy street.
- Andros (10/5): Excellent stay and I was able to do everything on my list. - Location was perfect. There were three restaurants within 1 minute walk that were all exceptional. Location is 20 minutes from the airport and the best beach in Dominica...Batibau.
The host was extra informative and sweet.
If you decide to stay close to the Capital you would have to drive 1.5hrs to get there compared to the 20minutes in Calibishe. Everything was perfect for me.
- Rossi (10/5): Little paradise - Everything! The place is super clean, the view is amazing, the neighborhood is nice, a few perfect little restaurants steps away...take a walk on the left facing the sea and you will fall in love 💕 the hostess Christine is the best! Nothing ....!!!
- Oksa123 (9/5): Great place to relax and explore north of Dominika. - Fantastic location. Great place for chillout and relax. Christine (thank you :-) is a great host and a charming person. Many interesting places around. Highly recommended place to stay for exploring north of the island.
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional - great spot by the ocean, close to red rocks and great little restaurants can get noisy at night
- Karen (9/5): I felt welcomed and well taken care of. - Size of room, cleanliness, friendliness of proprietor. Water pressure in shower was weak. She knows and is looking into it.
- Ralf (9/5): Very romantic and genuine Dominican - This is an extraordinary place. You cannot get closer to the sea. On the balcony, you are above it. Probably due to the proximity to the sea,, the temperature in the room is always perfect, no air-conditioning needed.
The host is very charming and helpful. The rooms are decorated tastefully with a beautiful blend of British and Caribbean style. The bar is under renovation and was still closed.
- Charles (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andras (10/5): Perfect oceanfront guesthouse with the most welcoming host - Fantastic little waterfront property with only two rooms, the bigger one with the balcony upstairs is just simply incredible. The place is well located in Calibishie within a very short walking distance from restaurants, grocery shops, ATM and fresh fruit/vegetable market. The room is tidy and clean and super comfortable, with a well equipped kitchenette and a balcony overlooking the ocean that is just the perfect spot for having breakfast or an afternoon read.
The best thing about the place, however, is the host Christine. She is a super delightful person, friendly and helpful always. We were fortunate enough to spend Christmas Day with her and her expat friends in the restaurant/bar area of the guesthouse and it was a truly memorable experience. We can only recommend the place! (FYI the restaurant/bar is temporarily closed but will likely re-open in 2023)
- Blandine (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing view and place and host
- Annie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandy (10/5): Best guesthouse in Calibishie - Best guesthouse in Calibishie, very clean, has anything you need, owner is very helpful
- Anonymous (10/5): Clean, quiet, and right next to the water. - Christine was a great host and made me feel at home. The room I stayed in was spacious and perfect for my needs. Really enjoyed the Calibishie Sandbar!
- Cameron (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked my stay here. The staff was very helpful especially when looking to book excursions. The rooms were spacious. But there is no tv so it’s a good chance to get in touch with yourself. It’s right on a beach but it was windy so I didn’t get to enjoy it. They have a restaurant onsite but it was temporarily closed but there was another restaurant right next door. It not close to the business area but overall I enjoyed my stay it has a fantastic view. Real calming
- Verified traveler (8/5): - All WE need was very near of the hôtel.
There was no beach around the hotel for swimming.
- Steve (10/5): - Very friendly staff. The view from ocean front balcony is amazing
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bar et restaurant fermés au moment où nous y étions. Établissement très propre, facile d accès.
- Jan (8/5): Calibishie Sandbar is Calling to me! - The Sandbar was wonderful! The room was a bit stuffy when we stayed in July, but the view was AMAZING! The area was so fun too...and the beaches were gorgeous!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Christine and Garnet are absolutely lovely, funny and helpful. The sandbar is a cool place to relax and spend the evening, you should definitely try the homemade rums.
The room has everything and is decorated with details. Calibishi is a beautiful little little town, we enjoyed our time there. One hint: make sure you book the suite, this has the beautiful sea view and a cooking place. The smaller room has just a microwave.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Right on the beach. Friendly and helpful owners. Bed was hard for my wife but I slept fine. A bit noisy as it's also right on the street.
- Björn (8/5): Good for a few nights - A good small place close to the beach. Close to the store where you find breakfast. The have a bar and have a meny for lunch/dinner - but I would choose some other restaurant. Expect noise from the street.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, right on the beach. Bar was just reopening as we were leaving. Owners are super nice people. Calibishie is still recovering from the Maria, as is the whole island, but is doing better than most places. Note, no ATM in the town anymore.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Basic but perfectly acceptable - The island continues to suffer, very few dining options and poorly maintained roads (no street lighting) but this property has tried hard to recover and is in safe surroundings
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The hurricane last fall took down the internet infrastructure, which was very frustrating and didn't get updated on the listing, which still claims free wifi. The hotel was nice and the proprietors were lovely.
- Patricia (10/5): Einfach toll! - Thank you so much, Christine, for a wonderful stay in a wonderful place!
Liebevoll eingerichtete und dekorierte Zimmer, alles picobello sauber, eine aufmerksame Vermieterin.... und alles kurz nach Wirbelsturm Maria! Was will man mehr?
