“Very basic, but still enough to enjoy beautiful surroundings and kind owners!”
Kind & full of humour owner. If you want experience something different, very basic in safe and beautiful environment this is a place for you. Be aware that there is no proper shower (bucket shower), bring your head lamp for the path when going to the toilet during the nigt. You have to bring all your food & water & anti mosquito spray with you. The camp is on the private motu, accessible only by owner’s boat. Read instructions sent by owner very carefully!! We are a couple, not used to camping, and we still enjoyed our 3 days in the camp! If you want the stay in motu with an exceptional views this is it!

“Paradise for low budget travellers”
If you’re looking for a good budget place in paradise: Alaroots it is. Great host family, nice Sunset view on Bora Bora. Don‘t expect a fancy hotel with AC or room service, here it‘s more Robinson Crusoe style. But you have everything you need (Solar Power to charge your phone, wifi (Most often), kitchen, fridge, toilet and shower - just everything very simple and basic. Read and Follow the instructions you‘ll receive after booking to know how things work with groceries, drinking water, tours and boat shuttle.

“Back to the roots - Alaroots / hidden gem 💎”
- Location is unique. It’s kind of a hidden gem! You can easily go for snorkeling on the reef, swimming, sleeping sourrounded by krabs 🤣, fishing and even borough a Kajak. - the owner and his family are so kind, funny and helpful - don’t forget a mosquito repellent - absolut necessary and reef shoes - kitchen has everything - for people who loves camping, sleeping in a tipi cabin or even dorms - place to to be! - free shuttle included to the main island - don’t expect luxury service / stay Alaroots ;-) back to the roots, basic and easy going - all the best for the whole family and I guess he will be smart(er) to keep continuing his project ;-) wish you all the best! 🧡🙌🏼🌺 Kind regards - your favorite guests 🤣

“A must visit in Bora Bora”
Rai and Rani are the best hosts we met so far during our 3 months of traveling. They were very helpful and kind people. My boyfriend proposed on one of the days and in the evening the host couple had arranged a super nice dinner for us on the private beach which was so delicious! Alaroot's simplicity is also something we really like. And you swim in the same water as the luxury hotels next door but pay an absolutely much better price. I recommend Alaroots to everyone who likes camping!

Amazing staff, I have been in dozens od hostels but this one isnt just an accomodation, its a whole experience!! The owners are the most kindness people, and you will learn a lot about the local culture. If you are looking for a good spoted place, and have a new experience, meet new people and have stunning views from the island so dont think twice.

“The BEST Island life is here! Incredible!”
BEST ever! Incredible! Fun! Amazing! The most heartwarming and welcoming people are the hosts at this campsite. We are two girls travelling 3 weeks in FP and our stay at Alaroots was the most amazing of all the places we went. The stay was 10/10. The host couple Rai and Rani are amazing. The most beautiful people inside and out. They will make you feel like family. We enjoyed different fun activities at Camp. We went fishing, learned to do coconuts, learned everything about the REAL ISLAND LIFE!!! This stay was the best experience in our lives. If I am ever lucky enough to go to FP again - this is the place I would go. Be openminded and a happy person and they will show you everything and make you feel so good and welcome. The stay was beyond our expectations - incredible. We love you alaroots! - Cozy and nice kitchen - Our bungalow was so nice - Comfy bed - amazing location - best Beach in the world - real Island life at the Camp (feels like you are in a movie. - Loving and caring people - so cool and fun things to do - Best place to meet other travelers. (You Can book a tour with the neighbour motu. So easy and nice! Especially Moana is a beautiful soul who greeted us and gave us an amazing experience).

“Legendary”
The location of the camping is better than awesome. It is all very simple build but you get all you need. Obviously don’t expect luxury or similar but if you like nature - then you will feel in paradise.

“A beautiful place to chill and enjoy the nature”
The view from this point is absolutely amazing. The place is not open to the general public thus allowing to disconnect and enjoy the nature.

“7 🌟 hotel”
We loved everything on the motu, the beach, nature, the coralgarden between the motus, fishing (we didn't catch any fishes but anyway, it was nice) , the host Tapu was really great , and his friends , really good people. Every evening, we had a great time together with dinner , barbecue, people from everywhere, laughing and talking, and learning a lot about BoraBora and French Polynesia. Really hope we meet Tapu and his friends sometime again 😊👌 /love from Sara and Joel

“Worth every minute and I would definetely come back again”
Absolutely incredible beach and island. I do consider myself being comfortable person and not really looking for the camps normally but this was an incredible place and experience plus the camp is located truly in the best place in Bora Bora. My expectation were really low but eventually I was simply excited. I had a large room which was super nice, camp itself was clean, tents and other rooms looked also very well. Wifi connection better than in many main island airbnb, electricity only in the evening - enjoyed all day offline, surrounded by nice nature, people and having a chance to go to main island every day if wanted. Truly recomend you to come there!!!
