Not really private even tho you are in small room (the one I had) - for this type of room there were not even doors (just hanging cover of the room) - but as I said - I didnt mind but still was bit surprised with that

Very close to the airport (15minutes walk) - perfect for 1 night stay after arrival or before departure (wouldnt stay there longer). Staff was super nice and helpful. Whole house was clean and so were the shared bathroom. Would use it again for this purpose

If you're booking a single room, ask for the one with a door and a fan. (The other has only a curtain and I did not see a fan there.) I could not figure out how to get hot water in the shower (there seems to be a hot water on demand type heater) but I did not really need it. On the whole nothing major to complain about.

As hostels go, this one is small but quite lovely. Twenty minutes easy walk from and to the airport, even at 5:00 a.m. The individual rooms are very convenient, with a lovely, breezy balcony adjoining the bedrooms and sitting area. The kitchen is convenient; even has a cold water dispenser in the fridge door.

Wouldn't recommend going to Tahiti in Feb, just went then cause I got a good deal on Paul Gauguin ship, was somewhat disappointed in old ship, prefer Windstar or Oceania probably. Islands beautiful. Hostel in neighborhood so people, chickens up at 4-5am and dogs barking all night if want to as loose. Big nice dog on site, doesn't come in house.Smokers sit on patio outside kitchen door, best to close it if they are there.

Everything was good except I booked a low std single room which wound up on the second floor. I had 3 suitcases, one quite heavy and I am elderly and partially disabled. I couldn't climb the stairs with all the luggage so I took a dorm bed on the ground floor.. It had a noisy overhead fan and large unscreened windows to catch the breeze in very humid, sweaty February. The single room had a stand fan. Once I borrowed one of those it was much more comfortable. I did not get a rate adjustment for downgrading. The ground floor double room near me rents for at least double what I paid and was booked. The owner was very accommodating providing rides to airport and ferry in town for 1500 ($15), the minimum price for taxis on the island,place is real close to airport and not much further to town. It was a great value. I spent a day or two at the Intercontinental chillin'. It was on the main bus route and near food and market, Bus $2. All had access to a kitchen with frig and tea making.

For me it’s not an issue as I can sleep anywhere, but some people might be annoyed by the dog barking in the morning and the bass music playing at 8:30am.

Proximity to the airport, friendly hosts who asked if I needed anything, single enclosed room, WiFi worked well, free coffee and bananas. I would stay again on another layover.

Everything was good and as described staff were awesome

Loved the staff and loved the convenience of location. Rooms were basic but clean..Facilities were as described. Loved the wifi. Would have been 10/10 if id had a plug to charge my phone

If you want to explore the city center also in the evening/night, you will be quite far away and with no buses and very few taxis.

The kitchen, the staff, the shower (downstairs), the location for the airport.

Small hiccup with check in. Host picked me up, but there was a slight language barrier. Also, address is even closer to airport than booking.com said, which was good, but potentially confusing for others making their way without the host

Friendly host, good value. Fresh fruit. Got what I was paying for- a decent place close to the airport at a great price. Two bathrooms for shared room situation is nice

Super friendly, and incredibly generous and helpful hosts :)

Stayed in May 2023

Honestly, this should be listed as a hostel, and it's cash only, as the owner has no way to take credit cards. It's a very simple place....VERY simple, and more for backpackers and low budget travelers. I will say that the booking.com rate I was quoted was $10US lower than the rate I actually paid....so a bit of a surprise, but I wasn't in the mood to complain, and I had no internet to show the price I expected. The owner was very nice, but people should not be surprised if they arrive to a cash only hostel, and extremely simple accommodations that are basically a place to sleep for one or two nights. In a pinch I would stay again, but there other options are sometimes available nearer the airport, although a bit more expensive. I'll add that as a frequent traveler to French Polynesia I was not upset with the situation as I'm familiar with these kinds of places.

Convenient to the Papeete airport, 1K, easy walk if you know the way.

The walls were thin and not even from floor to ceiling. The furnishings were as basic as could be. You could hear domestic disputes out the window. Every time a plane would take off from the airport it would wake me up.

The staff was very nice but didn't speak English. They keep the place clean, but they didn't spend any extra money on the actual facility/furnishings.

It was a bit hard to find. Also it has changed management, and the name recently. It would be nice to have a sign on the main road.

A great place to stay if you are catching early morning flights. We were there on a Saturday night and there was a great selection of food vans nearby. There was always a cup of hot filter coffee available. Each room had a fan to keep cool and brush off any mozzies. I thought it was going to be very noisy, but was actually quite quiet.

Stayed in September 2024

I paid them for an airport shuttle for my early morning flight. I showed up at the agreed time and nobody came - it was stressful to find another shuttle at 1am. Also got bed bugs and bitten all over my body, and the person smelt heavily of alcohol when I checked-in. I don't recommend this place at all.

Location was good, and close to the airport. Good location for an overnight stop between flights at Papeete airport

Single room had no door, just curtain which blew open by the wind.. as a female travelling alone i felt deeply unsafe with men sleeping next door.. i asked for a lockable room with door which were free but not accommodated as it was a double.. so i left

Stayed in July 2024

As a solo female traveller I felt very unsafe here. I left after 2 hours as I felt very concerned about my safety. I only wanted a room until I took a very early flight out the next day. The place is difficult to find with Google Maps and not signposted. I was given a room upstairs with NO DOOR, only a curtain. The fan worked but the light did not work. There was no way to turn a light on and I was forced to use my phone as a torch. The bathroom was disgustingly dirty. I was sharing upstairs with a person who had a door which he could lock. The upstairs area had no lighting, my room had no lighting and no door. I felt completely unsafe staying there. The bed linen smelled and was itchy, the room was unclean. I wish I could have taken some photos to show the state of it, but I wanted out of there as soon as possible. Nice guy moved my car for me, about the only good thing about the stay. I’m not a princess and have stayed in places all over the world, but this place was something else.

Close to the airport.

Stayed in July 2024

My room wasn't really a room, as it was only separated by a curtain, but this isn't really the end of the world. The airport can be quite noisy, but it's easily ignored. Air conditioning was slightly weak

They have great facilities, the staff are really friendly and supportive, it is really well located. There is a balcony with lovely views

Stayed in June 2024

It has all you need for a good stay. The room is enough and for the price is very good

Stayed in February 2024

Dirty and unsanitary conditions, noise level was unbearable with dogs barking and roosters crowing all night. Being bitten by bugs and a filthy mattress you couldn't even think of laying on. No offer of even a glass of water.

Stayed in November 2023

Actually my "room" was just a bed behind a curtain on the way to a room. Foto on booking.com is another room. Shared bathroom. Very noisy, because guests from the real rooms passing by in front of my bed in the night.

Very nice owner!

Stayed in September 2023

The host didn’t come pick me up at the airport as planned. It was 3am but they had agreed to be there. I ended up having to get a taxi there but couldn’t get in when I arrived. I called several times and nobody answered. I had to go to the Hilton and spend the night as I had no other options. The hosts unreliability cost me $450 USD.

Super friendly staff, they went to get my father to airport, even I couldn't reach him <3 love the staff, so thank you for everything. 💙💙💙

Stayed in July 2023

Partition walls are paper thin, you can hear people next door breathing. Room is tiny with an uncomfortable mattress on a wooden slat. Constant rooster and air traffic noise, impossible to sleep. No aircon or working fan. No fire protection, only a small stairway to the kitchen below. In case of a kitchen fire, which do happen (there is a burned out building next door), you are dead. No smoke detectors. Dodgy neighborhood. Bring your own toilet paper and expect a cold shower. Charged me an extra 2,500xfp for early check in.
