There was a mistake in my booking. I was suposed to go there on the 8th of February (NOT JANUARY). I emailed the Hotel asking to correct the mistake....but never got a reply.

Break...slow!
Was pleasantly surprised. Our cottage was very cute, the bed was super comfortable and our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Tom makes the most delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast. Not too far from town but initially it was a little difficult to find. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in St Maarten.

Good backpacker hostel
It's a really good backpacker hostel. Good and personal service, they will help you with everything. 30-40 minutes walk to Phillipsburg. Phillipsburg to Vickys keys is up hill. Ask them for pick up service from the airport in advance.

Late check- in. Nice people. Arranged transport from airport. Had a single room, right next to a dorm bedroom. Good bed, small bugs in the restroom.

Quite remote and away from everything. You definitely need a car (or bike) to get there

Pour le prix , cet entroit est genial, le personnel acceuillant et sympatique.
Cyril, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The owners are really nice and helpful. The room was very simple and clean. There is a sense of security with having the lockers in the room. It’s definitely worth staying there for the price. The only issue is that it was difficult to get to as my taxi driver did not know where it was located. Also, the surrounding of the hostel aren’t great either and you need to travel a bit to get to a beach. Having a rental car is reccomended.

2/10 Poor

Horrible
Chambre de 7m2 à 66 dollars. Une seule lampe avec laquelle il était impossible de lire une carte. Endroit très negligé, finitions ni fait ni à faire aucune indication même sur place. Le pire que j'ai vécu.

Enjoyed!
Off the beaten path place. Great and friendly staff! Stayed in the private studio. Very comfortable, with AC, WiFi, and yes, Hot water.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing people
We drove by the actual site twice, because we really didn't expect to find it in the area we were in. The island has been so devastated by the recent storms, it was difficult to tell which places were habitable. But the people were absolutely so welcoming, so kind, and so gracious, it was a once in a lifetime experience that I'm so grateful for! The room is so comfortable, the breakfast was so perfect, I wish we could have stayed longer. If you are looking for a resort, this is not it. But if you want to stay with the local people, and escape the resorts (which are pretty much shuttered), this is a wonderful place. They will always be in my heart!

A down home atmosphere.
The family staff were really friendly and helpful. This place has a great home feel and we really enjoyed our stay.

Very clean and neat! Only a few miles from Philips
This was our first experience with a hostel and it was very pleasant! The owner and managers were very helpful... eager to make sure our stay was nice. Very pleasant locals... one lady stopped to ask if we needed help, drove us to a restaurant, and got a friend to “look out” for us, and his friend ended up driving us back to Vicky’s!
