Excellent last-minute stay due to our flights being canceled. Less than 10 minutes from the airport and the host was probably the nicest person I met on the island. Very accommodating very sweet and the place has everything you need. It was extremely clean. We had a pool outside of our room and there was a rooftop with a fireplace and a TV. Thank you for everything. Highly recommended.
Great host and very lovely accommodation. Very clean and inviting. Lovely view and close amenities. Highly recommended.

BANBOU TERRACE 5 STARS
This private Terrace was tuck away where even some of the locals had no idea of this Gem. The view alone from the rooftop is a must see. We enjoyed every moment and would definitely stay again. St. Lucia people are good people. Respect!

this is such a lovely property with a million dollar view. the apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had reliable wifi during my stay. the full kitchen was well appointed and the villa’s owner, Ruphena, even stocked a complimentary supply fresh fruits and beverages which made my stay feel like home away from home.
the property is located on a quiet road not far from the UVF airport. Ruphena is truly the best part of the property. she truly is went above and beyond to accommodate my stay and make my family member’s birthday one to remember.
i would definitely stay at this property again.

First of all Ruphena was very lovely and accommodating. She went out of her way to make our stay a wonderful one. The Villa was very clean, and spacious. The view from every level was spectacular. It’s a short ride from the airport. We will stay at Banbou Terrace on future visits and highly recommend it to anyone who is planning on visiting the island.

The view from the terrace absolutely beautiful, the pool is a wonderful way to wake up. Ruphena is the greatest host ever. She goes above and beyond to make sure that her guests have everything need and are happy. I had an amazing time both at the villa and on the island. I most definitely be coming back and staying here. I couldn't have a better time and a place to stay if it wasn't for Ruphena

This place is excellent for a getaway. The host Ruphina made sure my partner were comfortable. The scenery is superb and so freaking beautiful. There’s a rooftop patio with a tv and fireplace to enjoy. It was a great experience that we enjoyed. We even got complimentary fruits and fresh coconut water. If you are second guessing, DON’T, JUST BOOK IT.

Villa was very nice and clean. It's like you brought home with you on your travel. Scenic vew was to die for. Especially for sunrise. But best of all the highlight of the whole experience was the hostess Ruphena. She is super friendly and helpful. She will go above and beyond just so that your stay there is one to remember. Definitely would recommend to anyone and for sure my future stay whenever i am on the island.

This property is in a beautiful setting, surrounded by tropical fruit trees, with a great view of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, cookware, utensils, etc. The bedroom was comfortable and quiet. It was a very peaceful setting. The only issue is getting up the lane if you are driving yourself. It's a bit bumpy and rough, but manageable. Our hostess, Raphena, did a good job of recommending local restaurants and told us about a nice beach nearby. We really enjoyed our stay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Stay – Charming Hotel
From the moment we arrived, we were completely charmed by this lovely hotel. Nestled in a quiet and picturesque setting, it offered the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and character. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and every detail—from the thoughtfully decorated rooms to the peaceful common areas—was clearly curated with care.
What truly set our stay apart, however, was the host. Gracious, attentive, and genuinely kind, they went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Whether it was sharing local recommendations, directed us to a delightful breakfast, or simply checking in to ensure we had everything we needed, Ruphena’s hospitality was truly next-level.
We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with a personal touch, this hidden gem is not to be missed. Highly recommended!
Banbou Terrace was everything we hoped it would be and more! It all starts with the best host ever…Ruphena…who was a joy to meet. Ruphena provided very helpful info about the area and checked in with us via text during our stay.
The property itself was lovely. We felt safe inside the gated property. We stayed in the two bedroom unit on the top floor. We tend to cook a good bit when we travel. The fully furnished full kitchen is such a great benefit. The King bedroom with attached roomy full bathroom were wonderful. The AC works well and cools quickly. The living area was comfy and dining area was more than adequate for our needs. We didn’t use the second King bedroom and very roomy full bath, but they are excellent as well.
The two exterior features also help to make this property what it is. The rooftop terrace provides ample seating and stunning views of the surrounding area and the sea. The pool on the lower floor is a great place to chill after a day of exploring.
If you’re trying to decide between this property or another, you need to go ahead and make it happen. The 10/10 rating didn’t happen on its on. This is THAT place! Thanks again, Ruphena!
