This place is all about the hosts who are genuinely wonderful human beings. Since they are locals to Bora-Bora, they can give you plenty of tips on how to fill your day with jaw-dropping activities and experiences. Place itself was really clean, bed was fresh and clean too, internet worked great, breakfast and dinner were super yummy. Possibility to do laundry and to rent a bike.

Everything was perfect, I wish I could have stayed longer, will definitely come back !

The hosting family was super lovely and very accommodating.

Can’t think of anything.

The family whose house you stay in are very nice. My room had AC which I really only needed one night. Great basic accommodations. For extra you can dine with the family. Karren is an excellent cook. Please note you are staying in a family home. If you want to drink a lot and party please stay elsewhere.

All I wanted in Bora Bora was basic accommodations. This fit the bill. They did have a dormitory type setting in the living room for people. I was glad I upgraded and had my own room and bathroom but honestly I would have been ok with the dormitory type beds also. I was pleased with everything here. I did lagoon excursions both days. This place was great to come back to and rest. Super market was a 20 minute leisure walk and the main town maybe 10 minutes more. They offered bikes to rent. I used the first day

Location is great, 30 min walk from city center, 15 min from USTORE, right next to Yacht Club. The hostess spoke English, and booked a day tour snorkeling for me, also they gave me a taxi ride back to the ferry. Bora Bora is expensive so for this price it's a good budget option. Also it comes with tea/coffee, donuts, bananas free breakfast, wich is a bonus. They have a very cute dog called Vanila, she brings in a home touch atmosphere.

The facilities could be more organized with places to sit outside, possibly a garden, also the room I stayed was a bit cluttered and the outside of the house.

Everything ok

Lots to pay extra...

Price and the Lagoon tour which the host could organize

This place is amazing. You will have an authentic experience of Bora Bora with Karen and her family, they are all so kind and warm. Also, you have lots of comfort: clean restroom, hot water in the shower, decent beds. And, if you want to spoil yourself, you can go and see the sunset in the Yatch Club that is just across the street for Happy Hour. The Lagoon tour that Karen recommended was incredible, and she can rent you a bycicle so you can go around the island. This is a no brainer, and for the price that is offered, and in Bora Bora!

Cozy hostel in a family house, friendly atmosphere, attentive hosts. My two days in Bora Bora well spent, especially with the Lagoon trip recommended by the hostess. It is wonderful that in Bora Bora there is such a hostel where backpakers can stay.

Friendly and helpful hosts who can help with booking tours or renting bikes. Aircon in private bedroom.

Everything was fine.

Very friendly and helpful owners, we could rent two bikes and they booked us in for a lagoon tour, perfect location to get to know the local way of life

The family you stay with are very kind and welcoming. As a solo traveler it really made my trip and made me feel at home. There is somewhere you can go in the evening opposite and it’s a 20minute walk to all the amenities you could need. Hostel is clean and safe!

Very nice stay in Vaitape! About a 30 min walk from the ferry. Warm and welcoming hosts, will help you with anything, including tours, bike rentals etc. Perfect place for a traveller on a budget.

I loved the concept of this family house accommodation. Karen and her family was lovely and very kind. She did extra mile,even helped me to sew my bikini as I had some issues with it and she got the sewing machine. She was doing also phone calls from her phone to check availability in resorts. She was always very helpful to answer any question and give advices. The husband too, but only Karen speaks english;) Location is great and that the bikes are ready to use anytime.

Just the bathroom should be kept much more cleaner.
