We had a very pleasant stay and would gladly come back again!

We spent a few days in spacious bungalows. We were picked up by taxi from the airport and quickly arrived at our accommodation, where Cynthia was waiting for us. Cynthia provided us with detailed information about the property (water, safety, etc.) and shared interesting facts about the area (shops, restaurants, and the beach). The bungalows have a well-equipped kitchenette and a large terrace, from which we could admire the starry sky in the evenings. In the morning, we were served a delicious breakfast, including homemade yogurt and jam. The morning conversations with Cynthia during breakfast were wonderful. The guesthouse also offered free rental of easy-to-use bicycles. We have fond memories of our lazy days on the atoll, and we highly recommend this guesthouse.

Perfect stay in Rangiroa

Super clean, cosy dorm room. Everyone has a fan each so nice and cool in the evenings. The manager Cynthia is so lovely and couldn’t be more helpful during your stay. The free bikes to use are also a huge bonus.

Perfect place to stay in Rangiroa

What an amazing stay! Cynthia made me feel very welcome, everything was arranged perfectly; from the airportpickup to the information provided before and during my stay. The bed was comfortable as well! The location is perfect; you're very close to the most interesting spots in Rangiroa

Reasonable value for money but hot at night

Reasonably good location close to the Tiputa pass. Free bikes in decent conditions to ride to the pass, the small stores and the 2 good snacks and 1 restaurant.

Very disappointing! Do not trust the images you see about this property they do not reflect its true condition.

Rosine, the housekeeper, was very nice and friendly. The Internet worked very well well.

Mana is a wonderful hostess and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

It’s at the Tiputa end of the island. Close to the pass where the dolphins can be seen jumping. Within walking distance of two shops and 4 snack places. Free bicycles.

Very nice dorm

Very friendly and helpful hosts, they organized the transfer from/to the airport as well as an excursion for me. The daughter, Mana, also speaks very good English, and provided me with lots of useful information about the island on check-in. The dorm has only single beds (no bunks!), and is quite spacious. The outdoor area is quite large as well - and there are even some hammocks in the shade. The free bikes offered are a great way for exploring the island - just do not expect them to be in perfect condition. I had to fiddle with the chain after it came off at least once a day.

Wonderful stay in Rangiroa

We couldn’t be happier with our stay. Greatly situated, at a 10 minute walk from the main restaurants and the diving center, with breakfast and wifi included. The staff speaks both English and French. The best part of it was the attention, specially from Mana. She was really nice since our arrival and helped us to plan our excursions. She made sure that we could enjoy a one-day trip to the Reef island the day our flight was departing, allowing us to take a shower after the check out. She even outdid her duties and took us to the airport some stuff we has left behind. If we ever come back to Rangiroa we’ll repeat for sure.
