The building, particularly the bathrooms and kitchen, were getting a bit tired and could do with refurbishment.

We booked a Two-Bedroom Chalet, which was great for our group of two families (7 adults). The A-frame style building is a whimsical design featuring timber in its original tree branch shapes. A loft room upstairs accessed by a steep stairway featuring the tree branch timber. The open-sided verandah dining area was a pleasant location. The chalet had fans for cooling and mosquito nets over some of the double beds. A laundry with a front-loading washing machine was very useful. Hosts were welcoming and friendly.

bathroom facilities a bit dated and moderately clean. plenty of showers but a little short on commode spaces. If all the rooms had been rented while we were there, there would have been a line!

Nice hostel -style accommodation in a beautiful location. Very helpful in arranging local excursions and finding sites to visit.

I overlooked… no Air conditioning.. here!!! So hot, fan did not make it sleepable for this northern Canadian/ American

Kitchen and ability to order delivered food from restaurant. They helped plan and book scooter etc. Sometimes they were kind to offer shuttle as taxis are at times exorbitant. No bus! liked Bruno and his easy wY with late check out. Thanks! loved the dogs! who “guarded “me as an honoered guest. Theydo bark so includeyour ear plugs.

I am very susceptible to mosquito bites and the shady garden location of the property endured there was a plentiful population of vicious insects. If you are not bothered by mosquitos this comment is totally irrelevant. The breakfast was a bit small for the price.

It is easily accessible from the airport and on the main road round the island. The rooms are large and spacious scrupulously clean. The shared kitchen, toilets and showers are also kept scrupulously clean. There are self-catering kitchen facilities. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful fetching dinner from various take-aways. Portions are massive and would easily feed 2. Despite the slightly disappointing breakfast it does include wonderful home-made vanilla yoghurt - real vanilla, a delight. If I had known about the details of the Excursion Bleu day trip by boat round Tama’a I would have done that. It looked really interesting. I would recommend trying that. It is run by the same family.

Really well setup. The qr codes with links to plant names was smart. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The dogs and cats that live here we especially loved. Overall the place has a rustic village feel.

From the photos I thought I was gonna get my own little cabana, and I did not expect to be in a shared cabana. I had my own room, but the walls are like paper so no privacy. Also, it was smelling moldy and humid inside

The excursion bleu was the highlight of our stay. Very convenient because they offer food for dinner too, if you decide to not rent a car or scooter or if you’re too lazy to get out and get your food yourself. The staff is incredibly sweet and the love talk and share thoughts and advice. The dogs and cats on the property are super cute.

There's nothing much to do in the neighborhood, no beaches (but the host will help you arrange acitivities). The rooms are next to a road which is a little noisy. Breakfast is a little overpriced.

Friendly host, very punctual and helpful. Proper administration. Ability to order food from local snacks & foodtrucks. Large shared kitchen and relaxing space. Warm showers (not a given in french Polynesia), good wifi.

Nothing, all positive!

Bruno was absolutely fantastic. Such a happy and welcoming host. He drove me to the shop as soon as I arrived since I had to buy some food before it closed. The excursion he organised of the lagoon is the best one I have done in French Polynesia. The bed is also the best I had slept in during my month-long trip. The kitchen is big, clean and has all necessary instruments for cooking.

mosquitos ..take repellent ! But that's Tahiti:)

The staff is so incredibly friendly and my stay was a real pure Tahitian experience. Raiatea is totally different from Papete - it is the real Tahiti, I was stunned by the nature and by the wonderful people of that island. Raiatea was my personal favourite island of all Tahitian islands because it was still very authentic and the flora and fauna was stunning! A lot to see also because it is the birthplace of the Polynesian cultures why I think I is a must see in any way. You could basically pick any fruits you wish in the garden around the lodge. Starfruits, Coconuts and other tropical delights were all growing around you and you can self pick them. The lodge was located near river and a 10 minutes drive to the city. There were also some bikes one could use. They were a bit old, but enough to explore the surroundings with ! Car is the best to explore the island. Loved the location right in the middle of nature, it was a real pure Tahitian experience! Thank you so much !

Before I finalized booking, I asked the staff at the property if the room that I had reserved had air conditioning (AC) but they ignored my question. When I come to the property, they revealed to me that none of the room have AC. The temperature in the room will reach 94 degree Fahrenheit because it have no AC. With the fan turned on, the temperature will come down to 88 degree Fahrenheit; but still that is very hot. If you can't endure the heat then don't book here.

The staff were friendly and helpful. They gave me free transport from and to the boat dock without charge. Bruno give me a ride to the grocery store when they go into town. Cyrille helped me with changing my booking. Patrick cut down fresh coconuts for me to drink.
