We stayed in an airconditioned ensuite room which was a godsend as it was incredibly hot throughout our 9 night stay. Although the room was budget priced it included a lovely fresh tropical breakfast daily, The staff were very friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to assist us with taxis, organising a hire car etc. Room serviced daily. The ladies who made breakfast and cleaned the rooms were just so lovely

The property is clean and well kept. The problem with the room was the little holes in the ceiling above. Tiny black sandy stuff dropped into my hair and ears and into my bed sheets and pillows every morning when I wake up. Please check Room 11. Otherwise …. I like the hotel very much. Thank you 🙏

Wouldn’t recommend for families especially if looking to book the traditional Fale. Location of property isn’t far from town so easy to find. I was booked to stay 2 nights but unfortunately only stayed one night given how noisy and uncomfortable the bedding was. Don’t take huge suitcases as the only access to the fales are steep stairs. Budget hotel so you pay for what you get. Very noisy due to local dogs who barked nonstop for hours. Shared bathroom facilities which were quite dated. Simply a bed to rest on and nothing else.

Daily breakfast was nice, you don’t have a choice, everyone gets the same.
The showers are often cold in the am or late pm. Lucky it’s pretty warm there.
Rooms are very basic.
Staff are absolutely gorgeous.

We had a mixed experience and would prefer other hotels if we return to Apia.
If you need a quiet place you might want to consider booking another hotel, the street corner Outrigger is located, is very (very!) busy, even during the night.
Breakfast is served (no buffet). When you ask for some more toast with butter and jam, then you get a tiny bit of butter and a teaspoon of jam - it really felt odd, appeared like they ran out of butter and jam.
The pool and garden are nice indeed.
We did not feel that the staff was going above and beyond: Any question or ask "out of the ordinary hotel related", they just shrugged their shoulders.
The 24/7 reception desk sounds good, but when we arrived at the hotel at about 10.30 pm, the receptionist was sleeping on the sofa.
For what they offer I believe they are overpriced. You will find better deals.
Keep in mind: Private restaurants have closed on Sundays!

The aesthetic of the hotel was my favorite part. The traditional fales were really cool!

The spirit of charm and tranquility is unmatched in Samoa. Every room option has a certain unique vibe and the breakfast was always diverse and yummmy! If you’re considering an authentic chill affordable getaway , stay here . Faafetai Lava.

We loved this hotel so much, that we came back and stayed again at the end of our trip. Super clean, we loved the staff, the fales and rooms were beautiful, and the pool and yard is stunning.

simple things such as a soap dispenser in the bathroom would have been better. In the Fale (hut style open area), the mobile phone charging could have been at a lower level. the power switch should be lowered as well.
the path besides the main reception should be lighted better as it has step in the path causing to stumble at night.

Our room had recently been done up and looked good. The staff were just lovely and very helpful. It was great value for the cost. Air con was great and the pool was so nice to cool down in. Breakfast was really nice and a great time to meet other guests. The owner was also very nice. We will be back even though we can stay locally with friends. Loved it.

We booked 2 nights in a room with shared bathroom and shower. Both the rooms, toilets and showers are clean and with hot water.
The hotel is placed close to the city of Apia and it is very easy to grab a taxi from the hotel.
The pool is nice and the breakfast is good and varies each day.
There is a common room at the reception with a pool table, board games etc.
The owner helped us plan our stay here in Samoa, recommending things to see and hotels to book which was very helpful to us!
We would definitely book here again!

The staff were welcoming and friendly. It is a budget hotel so I didn’t have high expectations. Clearly the room hadn’t been used for a while so in a high humidity climate, things are going to be damp. The bed was damp and there was an overwhelming musty smell. I discovered it was the cushions and pillows that were causing it so took them out of the room and it smelt better. After the air conditioning had been on for a while the bed had dried out a bit for the second night. There was a kettle in the room and it had been treated with some kind of disinfectant. Even after boiling some spring water in it several times and throwing it out, my tea still tasted of it. The room was clean and the breakfast was nice.

This is a great place for when you arrive in Samoa. You meet like-minded people, travelers and it's fairly quiet and comfortable to stay in, all that for a great price.
Breakfast is good :), they have a pool and you should stay in the Fale as a first experience and see if it's your thing ;)
The staff are very nice and always open for a nice chat

The hosts were all so lovely and friendly. The place was quiet which was appreciated. Pool was great. Shared facilities were upkept. Breakfast was always a lovely start to the day. Just wish my fan had more than one setting as it would only work for the highest setting and i couldn’t keep it on all night due to noise and it looked like it was going to fall off. Overall i loved my stay here. Would stay again

Nice, tidy and central outfit. Very friendly staff. Excellent service. The rooms in the reception level get hot and stuffy during the day so the pool facilities came in very handy.
The breakfast provided a nice start to the day.

The staff are so friendly and helpful in every way and make you feel at home.
Our room was very spacious and we had everything we needed including a fan which we left on overnight.
The pool is great to come home to after a day of seeing the sights around the island.
Breakfast is delicious. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal, but there are lots of great restaurants in close walking distance.
This is a great place to base yourself if you’re interested in trekking around the island sightseeing or want to be close to Apia.

Loved everything about this place.
The staff, the pool, the clean showers.
There is not a lot to do around it, but if you need a place to chill, meet other travelers, and be 2 minutes drive from Apia center - this is the place to be.
