Luckily only 1 night in the fungus room, hard beds and difficulty breathing. Dirty showers, toilets and no water at night. the place is very cheap but dirty!! The Internet facilities and the lady at the reception were pleasant, however again the place itself is even for us (students) too dirty!

Went there in october 2011 (I couldn't choose that in the list, but I really wanted to write this review anyhow) with my class for one night and it was THE mest awful accommodation experience I've ever had. The owner of the place was drunk when we got there and his sons who showed us around were hungover. Another guest... More

We ended up at Bib's after a very long off-road trip, and I must say, I was very pleased with the place and the company I found there. There is a free pool table, and also foozeball. The staff were helpful and the facilities were clean. Also, one cannot fault the pool.

We cane to this place after reading good things avout it on the lonley planet, however the place was pretty empty, the rooms were smelly, the kitchen was dirty and the whole experience was terrible. I guess there are much better places to stay in st. Lucia.

I've been traveling in South Africa for ten months and this is the only place I've packed up after one night (of what was supposed to be three nights) and moved to another place. We normally stay at another budget self-catering unit in St. Lucia but decided to try Bibs. It was a very bad experience. The beds were hard... More

Husband and I spent one night here and that was more than enough. This is the lowest rating I have ever given to an accommodation (or anything else?) on Trip Advisor, so keep in mind I am not one who typically gives bad reviews/ratings. I won't whine about anything at Bibs, as there's really not much to complain about. It... More

Let me just explain the word “typical”: Everyone that has been backpacking in the modern times know that backpacking is certainly not what it used to be. The standards have gone up, grading is introduced etc… BiB’s has got that old backpacking thing about it… not in a good way, but more of that what your mother’s perception is of... More

The place looks a bit rundown but it seems that there is engagement for improvement. It seems like there is no management, but the people who hang around try their best to make guests feel comfortable. The provided a free night-game-drive, and kept the party going. If you want to have it neat and quiet - better avoid that place.... More

We chose BIBS for camping for a couple of nights. The campground is ok. A straight piece of grass and close to the car. Unfortunately, the first night, there was a party till 4'o clock in the morning. Not nice. Unfortunately, some of our food dissapeared out of the fridge (delicious chicken!). There isn't also that much room in the... More

BiB's is your typical backpacker's, but slightly dingier and with far less friendly staff. Worst of all, our room was infested with bedbugs. I didn't realize until after leaving (we stayed just one night) that I had bites all over my side and back. Having experienced bedbugs before, it was obvious to me what these bites were from. We are... More
