The family were so lovely! Very friendly and made me feel super welcome! Easy to get into papeete- bus stop opposite 200 xpf. They pick you up from the airport for 1500xpf - super close to airport. There is a shop, bakery, Chinese takeaway and a restaurant little two mins walk away. I had a screen making my bed private - shower was great! Very powerful. Perfect place for a layover to airport. Lovely dog too!!! Xxx

Located in Faaa, within 4.2 km of Paofai Gardens and 11 km of Museum of Tahiti, Laure hébergement loue lits en dortoir provides accommodation with a garden and as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

At the hostel, each room is fitted with a terrace. Featuring a shared bathroom, rooms at Laure hébergement loue lits en dortoir also offer a garden view.

It is very clean for being a dorm. And has separated ground floor beds, no bunk beds. And there are separators (= mobile walls) between the beds so u have your privacy. There is also the availability of a single room where you are all alone. That costs a bit more. Madame and her family are really nice and very helping with everything you need. I stayed twice there before flights and would book again anytime. The guesthouse is really close to the airport. They provide a shuttle service for a reasonable extra fare, or you can take the bus (station only few meters away) or even walk to the airport (1 km).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really big apartment, great aircon, great location both to the airport and marina, and the communication from the host was impeccable. Organised an early transfer to the airport for me. Very professional and great value.

    David is a very friendly and responsive host and even provided laundry service which was for me as backpacker super important and gladly appreciated. The room was very clean, nicely decorated and equipped with 2 fans to cool down the place at night. The balcony is super nice with a table, mini Bar and a kitchen and fridge to cook for yourself. Would def. book again when I am back in Tahiti. Also really close to the beach which is accessible by a 2min foot walk. Also the check in instructions were very clear available in French and English.

    The reception was warm and caring. I even got some fresh mangos and fresh water in my stay. I felt so welcomed. The place is ideal for solo traveler or a couple, has a great kitchen, bathroom, room, living room and a massive garden with garage and is just some metres from 2 outstanding beaches, restaurants and markets. Everything was very clean, safe and I highly recommend to stay in that place.

    The accommodation was clean and beautiful with plenty of space for four of us. There's also an exceptional view out to the ocean. The area is safe and quiet and only a short drive into town. The hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality and kindness to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. We would 100% recommend a stay at Villa Taina.

    Our stay at Le Charme Polynesian was beautiful. The traditional Polynesian accommodation is very homely, and is in a great location, about 150m away from a pristine snorkelling spot. David and Lowina were attentive and friendly hosts, and had some snorkelling and beach gear you could use if you didn’t have your own. David and Lowina also took us to a traditional Polynesian performance taking place nearby, an annual dance that we got to witness.
