What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 156 guest reviews
Earthbox Inn & Spa earns consistently strong praise for its unbeatable walkable location near the Friday Harbor ferry, clean and well-appointed rooms, and welcoming staff — with the on-site pool, hot tub, sauna, and café adding genuine value. Recurring gripes centre on inadequate room lighting, small or outdated bathrooms, noise from neighbouring guests, and a price point some feel is steep for the room quality. Overall sentiment is warmly positive, with most guests eager to return.
