Great place if you don't need luxury
Pros:

The owner and personnel are really nice people, explaining everything, good sense of humour (at least I thought so as a Dutchman), the accommodation is on top of a hill, so it's quiet with lots of wildlife around and provides great ocean and mountain views from the cabin. Because it's on a hill, you automatically get some decent excersise after having dinner or drinks in town. I felt quite fit after a few days. You take drinks from the fridge based on trust and the location near Windwardside is very convenient. The owner checks after booking that you know what kind of accommodation you have booked, because it's not the right fit for people who want luxury. The shower was surprisingly good though, and it's the back to basic hostel like atmosphere and the setting of the place that also make it good.

Cons:

The mosquito net didn't fully close, there was still a gap through which a moth managed to get inside the net, causing mayhem. Which was kind of hilarious, but not good for a good night of rest. The fan is very loud, so we decided to turn it off. In March this was still manageable, but I can imagine in summer it might be too hot then. The toilet was cracked, so the bathroom smelled like urine. It was quite a challenge to make number two go down the toilet, because the gap wouldn't fully open when pressing the lever.

As if we were glamping ish.
Pros:

The view-close to mount scenery and shops/restaurants.

Cons:

Outdated, pool water was murky, bed uncomfortable, flat pillow, stinky bathroom (composting toilet). Lots of stairs.

Een eenvoudige cabin op een prachtige locatie!
Pros:

Het uitzicht! We zaten in cabin Schildpad. Wat een geweldig uitzicht! Echt adembenemend mooi. Er zaten veel leguanen in de bomen naast ons en veel vogels. Prachtige begroeiing.
Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam, dachten met je mee en regelde bijvoorbeeld een taxi.

Cons:

Wij moesten een beetje wennen aan het enorme klimmen. Dat maakt natuurlijk wel dat je prachtig uitzicht hebt, maar het is echt wel een hele klim van het dorp naar de cabin.

Hosts/staff were amazingly hospitable, food great, excellent location. I’d definitely come back here.
Pros:

El Momo is located in a beautiful (and yes, steep) spot. The views from every part of the property are stunning. My cabin was not as small as I expected, based on other reviews. And breakfast was excellent. I appreciated some of the nice touches - honesty bar, books and raincoats available etc.

Cons:

There’s nothing I did not like, but potential visitors should know it is on the rustic side, albeit with all the conveniences.

Cottage we had was good, view was great, but think about climbing so many stairs!
Pros:

Pool area very nice. View from our room was great.

Cons:

about 4 flights of stairs to front desk/pool and then we had the highest room so another 4 flights more. Lots of climbing and a little worrisome when the stairs are wet. We were warned, by the way, in other reviews so it was on us to not realize this. Bathroom was very basic.

On a l'impression d'être chez des gens et non dans un hôtel. Faire partie d'une famille

Was there for one night and if you are in Saba I do not recommend at all.
Cons:

The breakfast portions were tiny and far too expensive for what you get. There are many steps to the location and if you have heavy luggage it is a nightmare. Place is okay if you are a backpacker and enjoy eco friendly places. Travel light and bring your own food and alot of bug spray.

Bijzondere plek!
Pros:

Wat een bijzonder plekje met het mooiste uitzicht en zalig rustig. Relaxed, goede, makkelijke sfeer.

Cons:

De klim is best pittig, maar goed van tevoren aangekondigd. De cabins zijn basic, verwacht geen luxe.
