This is a great location if you are looking to relax. The staff members are extremely helpful and friendly. Had one issue and they looked into it immediately. During hurricane season the restaurant in site I closed . The front desk gave me option to order in. Not far from the airport. Nothing is walking distance. The people they are for drivers are amazing as well. Very beautiful.

The Island View was charming, the views were fantastic, and the staff were friendly and attentive! We had an earlier morning and they were very kind to make us a breakfast to go. Food was great! If I had to come up with any complaint it would be that the pool (shaded for a good portion of the day) was a bit chilly, but my husband didn’t mind that.

Lovely property with a beautiful view. Very comfortable and clean. Lots of steps so bad knees beware. A bit off the beaten path so you are inclined to eat at their restaurant. The food was excellent, but it is fixed price menu and quite expensive. Breakfast is included and very good. Would definitely stay there again.

I had a 3day stay at Islam view and the service was exceptional. The staff members were all friendly, polite and attentive. I had an issue with my room location and they addressed it and changed it immediately. The stake-house was amazing (a bit pricey, but worth it).

I would recommend this spot to solo travelers because I felt safe on the property. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing and quite boutique hotel with a great restaurants on the property, then this spot is perfect! Also the view is beautiful you can literally see almost the entire Island.

Love, LOVE, loved this place! Very private location! Clean room, comfortable bed and felt cozy and intimate. Island views from every spot. Hospitality of the staff was amazing! Dinner at the restaurant was DELICIOUS but definitely PRICEY! Lots of spots to relax and enjoy a drink and quiet. Not on the side of the island to watch a sunset but still beautiful. Cons: 1. there are stairs to check in, go to bar and restaurant. 2. Thin room walls 3. Free but very simplistic breakfast 4. Limited parking 5. No gym or trail to walk

I arrived a lil earlier and was able to check into my room early. Once I got to my room, it was clean and the view was amazing!. The the breakfast was okay but not nothing I would rush to go get. It was freshly made every morning but was very light. The parking was horrible. If the restaurant had a lot of guests, so if you returned to your room after 5 we had a hard time finding a spot to park. The steps up to the restaurant and to get ice or a beverage is painted it's very steep and very slippery my husband fell down them the last day there. So be careful. I wouldn't mind staying there again but definitely not my first choice.

This was a place that I would return too. The breakfast was great, and Marshall Bishop is the owner and the michelin star main chef. He was a really cool host and made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. If your traveling with a party of 2 I would say just use taxis to get around, but a rental car would make more sense for a larger group.

The best part was the warm welcome from the staff and the beautiful view from the reception/dining area and pool. The room itself was a little disappointing. There was only a curtain to separate the bathroom from the rest of the room, even though the bathroom was literally a few feet from the bed. The location of the room we were in was not ideal because of noise from the parking lot and the kitchen, both of which were busy because of the dinner restaurant.

Good morning, in trying to give you the biggest and fairest picture of this property, I would say that overall we had a pleasant trip. The staff is extremely friendly and quick to respond to any of your needs. We felt the hotel had charm and a beautiful view as promised. However, we also felt that the facility was very outdated and in need of many repairs. During our four day stay, we reassigned three different rooms due to various issues. The first room which is literally numbered number one is directly under the kitchen where the staff had been cleaning up until 12 AM running kitchen equipment and banging on the floor. We got no sleep that night. We were then moved to another room which was very quaint but very small. At about 10 o’clock that night there was no hot water for a shower. Then the last two days we moved to a room that had a nice view and was more accommodating, but the majority of the lightbulbs and lamps did not work and the toilet had no pressure. Along with that no hot water for two of the showers that I took..
we talked to others that we’re staying at the hotel and found many of the same issues however, some were pleasantly pleased. As I mentioned, we’re very grateful for the staff for their help and their kindness. Unfortunately, in my opinion, I would feel a little uncomfortable, giving my recommendation to this property until some of the things have been corrected. Thank you so much.

Island View Guesthouse is a little gem! Their dinning area is quite quaint with an impressive panoramic view of East, South and West Charlotte side of the Island. John and Jerome are great Host, and displayed best in class service. Extremely polite and accommodating. They made my stay comfortable. This is not an invention for future guess to take advantage of them. Just know you will have a comfortable stay. I had dinner here one night. Although quite pricey, the the food and service was impressive. My server Jonathan and another female assistant was very attentive in addessing the removal and addition of my courses. Wait till you see how they clean (if needed) your table as you go through your course. I am from; and dine within NYC. Which is the capital of restaurants and fine dinning of the United States. As for the free complimentary breakfast, it's off the hook! This not your typical Holiday Inn/Marriott complimentary breakfast. Beakfast is cooked and not premade and/or preheated. You'll be very pleased. When you consider the price of your stay, the pricey fine dining (blances out should you choose), the amazing view and impressive breakfast is worth it. Island View will be added to my very short list of place to stay when visiting St. Thomas US Virgin Islands. I provided pics so you can get an idea of what you're experience can be.

Last minute booking after a flight cancellation. Libby the front desk went above and beyond taking us to a restaurant on her way home. Beautiful lobby and fully stocked Honor Bar(no bartenders just mark down what you drink and they add it to the bill). We had their smallest room. Queen which was comfortable. Tiny bathroom and shower. Tough to regulate the water temp. Show handle detaches so you can have the water flow at you. For a night it was fine. Wouldn’t want two people to try and do a week there. Pool was warm and clean.

Although the room was very clean, the bed and pillows ultra comfy, good luck trying to sleep in. Roosters crow around 5 am then the staff shows up around 7 beeping their horns when arriving. Shortly thereafter, a landscaping crew weed whacked and communicated very loudly. It is a lovely view of the island but you overlook the locals neighborhood which is not great. Staff was friendly and helpful, but the made to order breakfast was whatever they were serving that day. Unwalkable to anywhere, you have to call a taxi.

When I say, IVGH did not disappoint.We were greeted with cool lavender towels for our face and hands, as well as local island fruit juice. The night receptionist and bell man were so helpful. The complementary continental morning breakfast had the nicest lite island vibe. I was a little disappointed I could not order dinner from the restaurant. Let me be clear, it's not anything they did, it just isn't open Sunday and Monday and we checked in Saturday night. The restaurant gets some amazing reviews and I wanted to try it. Other than that, only 5 stars here!!! The room was clean and cool, the customer service was second to none, the views of Saint Thomas were spectacular and the beds and bedding were sooooo comfortable. You must stay if you are planning a trip to St. Thomas. Please go on a night when the restaurant is open. You won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Island View Guesthouse. The view from the room, pool, and eating areas was fabulous. The food at breakfast and the dinner we ate was delicious. We did have an issue with hot water and housekeeping but otherwise it was a good time.

The views, cleanliness of the rooms, and proximity to airport and city center (taxis are expensive on this island) make this a good choice. The upkeep of the premises is top notch. Note that the location is on an incredibly steep hill making it difficult to enter and leave the premises which also impacts taxi pickups/drop offs as well as parking is difficult. Not a complaint but something to note if you are elderly and/or limited mobility for any reason.

Our stay at Island View was amazing. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to visit St. Thomas. The view is incredible and the experience is private, unique, and intimate. The staff are all incredibly nice and helpful - they assisted us with everything from providing extra towels to scheduling taxis for excursions at the drop of a dime. The breakfast was cooked fresh every morning and dinner at the steakhouse was fantastic. Marshal came out and talked to us about how he prepared each dish after our meal which was fascinating. For anyone looking for a break from the commoditized and corporate feel of a big hotel chain, go to island view.

Island View Guest House was excellent! We booked our trip a little late so there weren’t many options but we are not disappointed with them at all. The Christmas dinner menu was top notch. The taxi they recommended was the best we used.

We need hotels.com to approve the refund when i changed dates... the owners of the property are waiting on that... it was almost $500. We also had bought stay protection for this. Please approve the refund as we are checking out today. You will receive our review once this has been done. Ty

When we checked in, we had booked a room with an ocean view but there was no view so she upgraded us for free which was nice. Balcony and view of the port were amazing, beautiful sunrises every morning. Breakfast included was cooked fresh every morning but

The room was quaint and clean. The air-conditioning worked great (they have a split-pack which worked great). The staff was super nice. The owner is the chef and the food is delicious. We also met him and he is super nice. The views are incredible. The drive is different, you drive on the left side, and the roads are very steep. Overall our stay was great.

Island Guesthouse is a beautiful property. The view is spectacular. The rooms are clean. The staff was great. The evening meal in the restaurant was exceptional. I chose this facility because of the consistently great reviews. I was not disappointed. I do have some suggestions though. Breakfast needs variety and it would be great to accommodate various diets. The patio chairs should be higher so one can see over the banister. Firm pillow options would be great too. I loved it here. I would definitely recommend it.

Gorgeous view!!! Staff were amazing (special shout out to Marlyn who was so kind throughout our stay). The rooms are SO clean!! I wish the restaurant was open while we were there because we repeatedly heard from other locals that they have the best steak on the island!

Amazing guesthouse!

Despite the insane incline to drive up to the place, thin walls that me and my now fiance had an entertaining listen of a night of another couple, and challenge of finding out the secret method to having hot water (turn on the hot water on the sink first for a while before using the shower lol) the stay was legit incredible. I know it sounds crazy but I’d definitely stay there again. Staff were very friendly and you cannot beat the view of the island. The breakfast was really good and the rooms were comfortable. Check in and out was very easy. I’d definitely stay again.

Libby and the staff were beyond kind, caring, and giving. I was stuck on the island due to the hurricane and needed a place for my son and me to stay. With hundreds of others in the same situation, I randomly chose this hotel—and I feel so blessed that I did. From the moment we arrived, I felt truly cared for and understood, especially during such an anxious and uncertain time. What could have been a terrible experience was turned into a calm and reassuring one, thanks to their compassion. I only wish I had stayed here for my entire trip. I can never thank them enough.

This is a lovely looking property from the outside, with a clean pool and a wonderful outdoor seating area for breakfast and drinks. However, the room was in need of a pretty big refresh and did not match the pictures on this site at all. The pictures show bright decorations and linens, rugs, etc. Our room had nothing but the bed with basic linens, a dresser with a few basic trinkets, a very old kitchen with some broken cabinets, and a broken outdoor table on a balcony that had power lines running directly in front of it. It wasn't unlivable, but it definitely was a surprise based on what was shown during booking. The breakfast was small but delicious and the staff was kind. We wouldn't immediately book here again, but we wouldn't not stay if it was the best option available.

This property has a beautiful panoramic & breathtaking view of the ocean and St. Thomas Bay. It is close to downtown, and simply beautiful. The rooms are simply appointed and very clean. Libby is an excellent host, making guests feel like you're visiting their home. You'll be well taken care of at Island View Guesthouse. Delicious breakfasts also.
