    The place is located on the side of the island where you can't drink the tap water and have to buy water bottles or go to a fill station about a 10-15 minute drive away. We managed just fine though.

    The bungalow villa was really nice with enough space for four adults. The AC and fans were a great relief in the heat. The kitchen and utensils worked well for us to cook our meals. The view and the salt water pool were very enjoyable.

    My best stay in Moorea. It is well organized for any kind of budget travel. In the nature, having a pool, big enough terrace and kitchen with superb views to sea.. the pictures are correct.. I tried a few places in Moorea already, this is best to me.

    Private bath was separate from the room. Although we didn't eat breakfast, the bottom tier breakfast seemed a bit expensive for just coffee & toast.

    We enjoyed the view from the room, landscaping, and friendliness of staff. The shared kitchen was nice and provided an opportunity to interact with other guests. Our room was basic but comfortable.

    Owners treated me differently, because I’m not french? Sometimes nice sometimes not. I would have liked more joy between guest, music maybe.

    Good location if you got a scooter or car. Nice swimming pool.

    I loved it, but my partner was unnerved by the occasional cockroach outside and in the bathroom at night! Otherwise I’d give it a 10/10.

    Lovely grounds, great value, kind owners, and a sweet cat that lives on the property!

    Atiha and South of the island is the calmer side with less opportunities for programs, restaurants, public beaches. You need to plan ahead with transportation, renting a scooter etc. The pool area could be an excellent spot for apéro or a bar. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be a silent zone.

    It was a nice, calm guesthouse with gorgeous sea view. It was also a great meeting point for fellow travellers.

    We loved our stay at this guest house. The owners Carole and Erick are very friendly and cordial. We talked a lot with them and thus learned a lot about the island and them. Our food wishes were taken into consideration and the food tasted very good. For excursions we always had a contact person and the scooter we could also borrow there.

    There are better hostels I wouldn’t stay here again.

    The location was far from anything if you don’t have a car. They are very strict about where you keep your things and would come in and clean the bed without asking (this has never happened to me before in a hostel room) and move the stuff around or put it under the bed (I think this is not appropriate to be touching guests personal items without permission.) Also they only give you one sheet to sleep with and no blanket. The room was cold at night and a fellow guest lent me their sheet several nights in a row and every afternoon the cleaner would come in and take one of the two sheets off my bed for no reason, even without cleaning the bed. It seemed very controlling. The couple that owned the hostel were also not welcoming and at times inconsiderate. They were condescending when asking about things. They had a sign that said “kayak rentals” I was told “well can you put a kayak on your car? Then you can’t kayak” when in fact we saw kayak rentals the next day right by the bay near the hostel. The male owner also entered the hostel room when I was sleeping alone in the hostel room on my last day 30 minutes before checkout to tell me that I needed to leave. I had already packed up my stuff and put it in my car and just needed to hand them the keys at 10 and he inappropriately came in around 930 to wake me up from my nap and tell me I needed to leave. I was told afterwards by friends in the room that no one even moved into my bed after me so the whole thing was unnecessary. Some of my friends had similar and other rude and inappropriate encounters with the owners, I won’t speak to that but I am put off and would not stay here again.

    It had a beautiful view of a bay. There was a kitchen with your own private cupboard and tons of fridge space to cook in. Was cleaned often. There was a pool to swim in.

    Nothing.

    We had a great time here, first and for all because of the wonderful people that run the place. We could turn to them with any problem, they were always super nice and helpful. The guesthouse is very nice, and outside the room it has quite a few places where people can sit down, have a drink, chat or just watch the beautiful night sky. We also liked the swimming pool, which was cleaned every morning, because the closest public beach is quite far away. But after renting a scooter from the host, it was not a problem anymore. Breakfast and dinner was also great, made by the owners themselves.
