Great deal simple, no frills, clean, unassuming place in the center of the city, access to all areas even Portsmouth, Ma Bass was great with suggestions on where to visit and how to get there. The room was nice space, safe access to kitchen. Side note people go to Dominica because of its rawness, pay for cheap hotel room then... More

Ma Bass is a comfortable clean guest house run by a very sweet old lady. The rooms are quaint and basic and we felt very safe and secure. Sure the showers aren't the hottest that I have had but in this climate it hardly matters. Ma went out of her way to make breakfast at the time that suited us... More

Unfortunately we can't give a proper review as Ma Bass was not there when we arrived on Sunday evening from the ferry, despite having made a reservation in person, the week before. She was friendly enough then and wrote it all down in the book. The rooms looked OKish but basic. Arriving on a Sunday night in dark deserted Rousseaux... More

I rarely had a hot shower, my toilet did not flush properly for the duration of my stay, the wardrobe door was broken, the sink was crooked and the water trickled out of the shower and tap.When I complained about all of these issues, I was told...

We chose the slightly larger one of the two southern rooms under the roof with a shared balcony. The upper stairs were extremely steep. There were two double beds in the room, one of which we used as a baggage rest, as there was little other space for that purpose. There was a small round, shaky table in the room,... More

For only $40 a night, we stayed with Ma Bass for several days - it was a perfect location in central Roseau and Ma Bass was extremely accommodating (she changed our mattress on request). When we went on the Boiling Lake hike, she woke up at 5:00 am to cook us breakfast! She's extremely knowledgeable of Dominica and got us... More

Ma Bass' guesthouse in central Roseau is clean, pleasant, with kitchen facilities and the option of a very good breakfast with local fruits. The best thing about it is the owner Ma Bass who is an extremely capable and knowledgeable hostess who offers advice and information to all guests and keep her eye on things making you feel comfortable and...

Ma Bass is a lovely old lady and she runs a really nice guest house. There are 8 rooms ranging from small ones on the first floor with shared bathrooms (US$44) to large en suite double and triples with balcony on the top floor(US$66). All the rooms were clean and the beds good. The showers were always hot. The breakfasts,... More
