It is well located close to other hostels, restaurants, bars and a supermarket. The facilities are fair enough; and clean. 20$ to get to the airport which is 20 minutes away
Close to bars and restaurants, so it can be slightly noisy in the night. The closest beach (2 minutes walking) is not nice

Cheap for one night accommodation, close to boat transfer out to island.
When I stayed here four years ago it was a part of the restaurant, it now has a different feel. Less active

Location was great. Nearby restaurants and cafes great.
Room 15 bathroom floor tiles constantly leaking and flooded with water.

Close to the sea to watch beautiful sunsets. The staff were friendly.
I appreciated the free wifi too.
I found the location so unbelievably noisy. I had trouble sleeping both nights.
From the blasting music, the noisy chatter and laughter right outside my window, the dogs barking, big noisy buses outside my window, and the banging upstairs…. I didn’t sleep well at all. All of that noise finished after midnight, and then started again around 5am.
There was also a constant water dripping that I could NOT stop from the shower. So the bathroom floor and mat was soaked as the water drips bounced up off the tiles.
A small bar fridge would also have been appreciated.
I also wasted half an hr trying to turn the fan off with the dial close to the door. Then I discovered after giving up and getting into bed that the fan control is now on the wall. Perhaps get rid of the old, broken dial then, or at least a sign to say don’t use.

Good location, beach, restaurants and supermarket closeby. Easy to take a taxi to the city centre. Friendly staff.
A lot of mosquitoes because the room has a big open area.

location was awesome but the reception staff Elenoa, was amazing! EVERY business needs an Elenoa! She made me feel welcome and special. the property is great but Elenoa is the best part of the experience by far!
mind you I was warned, the night club across the street very loud and late. so if you are a light sleeper think twice but for me it did not out weight one block to the beach and 2 blocks to a store as well as 5 very nice restaurants.

The staff were friendly and helped us carry our bags. The location is fairly good as there is two nice restaurants within walking distance (Wailoaloa beach club and Olive Tree) and a supermarket. It's close to Port Denarau so easy to arrange hotel pickups if you are doing day trips to some islands, which is why we stayed here. It's also very cheap.
The room was unclean. There was bugs on the bed when we arrived and throughout. There was stains all over the bedsheets. Only one towel was provided for a double room. There is no air con, only a fan in the room which wasn't great. There was only a thin curtain loosely held to cover the window, if the fan was on, this would blow and basically uncover the window so anybody could see in. The Wi-Fi doesn't work in the rooms, you have to stand outside to connect to it and even then it only works sometimes. There was another Wi-Fi connection which we could have connected to, it needed a login which I requested from the staff but the guy literally couldn't remember the password. Maybe write it down!
5.0
Wailoaloa is a great location either side of a flight and there are heaps of options for eating, plus a beautiful and quiet beach. Particularly recommend Beach Escape for dinner at the moment (just opposite) as they have a great new chef/owner.
Can't complain but it's what you expect for the price. A box of a room, a bit noisy at night, and with a bright light just outside the window all night. Perfect when you fly in at 9pm and leave at 5am the next day!

same as Bluewater lodge but more expensive price?? booked with Bluewater lodge one time and bamboo another time and they were different prices but put me in the same form room??
I don't think they wash the sheets after each traveler checks out... the sheets I had were stained, had hair on it, and they smelled
bed mattresses not very comfy, back and neck hurt next morning

4.0
The location was convenient to get to the ferry terminal and airport. Cheap price for the area.
A loud bar across the road and light that shone into the room all night. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom and the towels and bedding seemed like they hadn't been cleaned very well. The worst part for me was what appeared to be blood on the floor beside the bed.
3.0
The bed had a plug where I could charge my phone.
The first issue is that the name on here, the name on the map, and the name on the actual building are three different names, making it very hard to find.
The member of staff simply told me I was in another building and sent me on my way - no offering of WiFi password, where the toilets where, no tour of the place. Nothing. Easily the most unhelpful/disintrested person I met on my whole trip, and no, there wasn't even a queue behind me.
The pod room was awful! To spend more money than the large dorm and be put in that room is a disgrace. The were only small lockers and they couldn't even fit a backpack. With at leave four people in the room, there were four large pieces of luggage and there simply wasn't enough space.
Based on the service and room I would not stay here again.

8.0
With everything so expensive in Fiji it was great to find a place that was reasonable and decent. The bed was comfortable, there was hot water and air conditioning. And a pool. For what we paid we couldn't have asked for more. Except maybe a kitchen..
Would have liked a kitchen to do some cooking.
