The owners are very hospitable. And they offer pickup service from the airport for free.

The property is a little far from the town, but the walk is nice and super safe. The kitchen is a bit limited.

Our host was absolutely fantastic - super friendly, helpful, and ended up being our (mandatory) guide to visit the moai which was much cheaper than another guide. They help you organise anything you need and you are picked up (for free) from the airport and also dropped off. The rooms are very comfy, mine had a balcony which was lovely. Price is good considering the expense of being on the island. You could pay cash or card.

Cannot recommend Pua Vaenga more! Bea was a wonderful host, she picked us up from the airport with beautiful flower necklaces. She was amazing from start to finish- was always there when we needed, and took us on an excellent (and really reasonably priced) tour! We learned so much about the Island and it's history, and also got an included beach trip. The hostel itself is lovely, the beds are super comfy and it's kept spotlessly clean. Go stay here we had the best time!! Thank you Bea - Lisa & Isabella

All the power outlets in the house I was in were type L, so I couldn't charge my laptop, which is type C (I Googled before going and it said Rapa Nui uses both C and L outlets). However, I worked everything out on my phone so I didn't bother to ask if there were any type C outlets in other common spaces.

Highly recommend for budget travellers like myself! The owners of the Hostal are incredibly nice!! The wife picked me up/took me to the airport, and always made sure I had everything I needed. They re-booked me to a different room so I could have a whole house to myself, which I deeply appreciated. The place was comfortable and the wifi worked well. FYI: If you don't rent a vehicle, it's about a 25/30-minute walk to downtown/the beach (uphill on the way back to the hostal), but it's super accessible with a car/scooter.

Excellent room in a very good place - well located, with the possibility to rent a bike (to go easily to the center and some touristic places, including Anakena). I can only recommend this place, clean - and the Hosts were so lovely and helpful.

The location is a little far from the centre, it takes around 25 min walk

The place is amazing! We loved everything there. Our room was in a small house with a bathroom, a well equipped kitchen and a common area. Wifi was working well, especially at the terrace. We could do our laundry, rent bikes and a scooter. The owners were the nicest people. They picked us up from the airport with flowers and gave us tips what to do on the island. You can also do a tour with them (in Spanish).

Wonderful staff! The owner picked us up from the airport and gave us a welcome drink when we arrived. She also had a birthday cake and champagne to celebrate my 40th birthday. So thoughtful and kind! She also gave us rides into town to avoid the long walk. My Dad and I really enjoyed our stay here and hope to return soon! Thank you for everything!

It is a bit far from the center of town and especially tiring when going back to the hostel, but a taxi can take you easily for a few bucks.

Family run hostal, very nicely decorated and equipped. Friendly people who tried to accommodate all my needs.

Noise from kids and walls are thin

Amability of staff, clean and best souvenir prices. They can also guide if the guide messes up. Welcome drink and farewell gift token, cleaning every day. Wow.

Location is a bit of a walk from town (25 mins) but it's safe and pleasant at any time. It's also possible to rent bikes, scooters and cars from Bea and Andres. We got the car which was really useful to explore the island as well.

Absolutely amazing hosts who were very friendly, provided lots of recommendations and made us feel very welcome! They also picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. The room and ensuite bathroom were both clean. Very good value for money compared to other options!

Everything was perfect ! The family is incredibly nice and attentive. You will have anything you need to have the best experience on this beautiful island. On top of that the rooms are in beautiful little houses that are really comfortable. We definitely recommend!

Nothing!!!!

Hostal Pua Vaenga was a really surprise where we meet a so nice , warm and welcomed person Bernie who owns the place with Andres !! They were so worried to ensure we have a good time at the island, very useful advices. The property is well located 15min walk and cábañas are well equipped and very quiet .. we recommend this place and also the tour made by don Jorge !!! A really interesting guide and person!! An encyclopaedia alive !!

If you know what to expect (not a five star hotel but a familiar and low cost hostal) there is really nothing to dislike. If you havent a car, better you know that the sea side of Hanga Roa is about 2 Kilometers far, so you'll have to like walking or use a taxi service.

The place is familiar, the staff is warm and friendly. They give good advices about the island places, also directly offer other services as touristic guided tour and car rental, always at very reasonable prices in a generally expensive location as Rapa Nui. Included in price the picking and dropping at the airport. The wifi service was fast and reliable, an important detail because the cellular signal is often weak or absent in the island.

Beti is an amazing person who will help you with everything. She helped us to organize the guided tour to the park, rented scooters and answered all our questions. Even prepared for me and my friend, best fish and rice we ever had! She is very caring and helpful, makes you feel at home, definitely a great place to stay on Easter Island

It would be good if they serve tourism information more.

Great hospitality from Houseowners. They serve pick/dropoff service. Super kind and get great help when I stay. Appreciate their quick pickup when my flight canceled. They also have proper kitchen to cook. Good for value. Highly recommend.

It was great! Power did go out once in the night likely because of wind it was not an issue for us - just for others to be aware that this could happen anywhere on the island.

Great little cabanas to share with just one other person or group. Hosts were SUPER accommodating and lovely per all other reviews and always checked that everything was okay. We really appreciated them helping to find the strongest wifi on the property for an interview.

Very cute and welcoming family! Very eager to help us make the most of our trip. Best deal on the island, and they let us rent their own car for a very cheap price. They picked us up and dropped us off at the airport for no added cost. They hooked us up with an awesome tour at a great price and best of all they gave us a flower lei when we arrived and a cute necklace when we left. I cannot recommend this hostel enough!
