No wifi, broken ceiling fan, broken refrigerator, but inept staff

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the lack of communication. We usually receive people with a welcome drink as soon as they arrive. You preferred to go directly to the bungalow without stopping, we were waiting for you despite the letter we sent you to know the approximate time of your arrival. I went to the bungalow to welcome you, but apparently you were too busy getting settled. Concerning the wifi, it's free, you didn't ask for the password, the ceiling fan doesn't work because it's never plugged in (for good reasons) but you had a fan on a stand which does work. As for my incompetence, indeed I can't guess if the fridge is working... thanks for letting me know. You only stayed one night, with your negative feedback and my incompetence, I will certainly change the booking method and do like my competitors: minimum booking 2 nights. Enjoy your stay in our islands and please do not hesitate to contact your hosts. Guy

Nice simple bungalow in the mountains of Raiatea. Not far from a marae.

Great stay in Raiatea!

Great welcome and all the basic comfort needed for a stay on Raiatea. the bungalow was clean and with the adequate comfort. No AC but a fan is enough for the night. Great breakfast in a friendly atmosphere.

Very basic solution

Posted 25 Dec 2018 on Hotels
The place is very basic, with minimal comfort and services. The access is complex and not suitable for people with handicaps, as it is up on a hill and there are several steps to access the cabins. There is no A/C and in very hot days it is quite difficult to sustain the heat. The cabin is furnished very essentially and, considering the windows, it is complex to keep the mosquitoes out of the room. The owner is very kind and welcoming and the location is certainly beautiful, however it is located in an isolated area and I would not recommend this for people looking for comfort and upscale infrastructure. The location can be considered for low-budget travelers.

désolé que notre établissement ne vous convient même pour 24h, .ainsi que le transfert que vous avez réservé mais sans même voir vous avez pris pour le taxi... Nous faisons partie de la petite hôtellerie familiale dite pension de famille, nous n'avons jamais dit le contraire ainsi que notre situation en montagne,sur notre site les photos sont sans équivoque.. Concernant les moustiques et la chaleur, il y a un ventilateur et un appareil anti-moustique électrique, le même que nous utilisons dans notre maison et ,comme dans les bungalows les fenêtres sont pourvues de moustiquaire. Oui, nous sommes pour tout budget avec vélos piscine wifi buanderie gratuit ainsi que le petit déjeuner compris dans le prix du bungalow quand on recherche autre chose que plage cocotiers...

Great owners and location

Posted 11 Nov 2018 on Hotels
The bungalows are located in a beautiful area with an amazing view. I chose this pension mainly due to its proximity to Marae Taputapuatea and it was a perfect choice. The owners provided us with two one-gear bikes, which were in good condition. It was a 15 minute bike ride to the Marae, great, flat road. There's a small shop on the way where you can buy water. The owners and their dogs are very nice and friendly. We had breakfast and dinner at the pension. Both delicious. The bungalow itself was fine for one night stay. There was a fridge and a cooker outside the bungalow. The room was clean and I slept well, but bear in mind that this is a basic accommodation. There was no warm water in our bungalow in the morning, which wasn't much of a problem due to hot weather. Along the day the sun warms up their water reservoir so in the afternoon you can already take a warmer shower. There are mosquito nets in the windows and an electric repellent, but there were still many bugs in the room (which is expected considered the location). The owner, Gui, picked us up at the airport and took us back for our next flight. He stopped on the way to show us some beautiful views and I could take pictures. Overall highly recommended. I would stay again.

Désolé d'apprendre que vous n'avez pas eu d'eau chaude... je vais dès ce jour vérifier le chauffe eau, car les bungalows ont bien de l'eau chaude à la douche. Merci pour votre retour sur notre établissement, nous faisons toujours le nécessaire pour les séjours de nos hôtes se passent pour le mieux.

Very far away from everything. I feel let down by Expedia guidance in booking. I was til only 2 cabins left but there are only 2 cabins. Wanted close to the marina it is far.

We apologize for the choice made. Indeed we are rather far from the city, and on a hill with view on the lagoon what makes our charm, nobody offers that to Raiatea. Our bungalows are in a garden with many flowers and tropical plants. With the transfer this is not a problem. It is unfortunate that you refused the offer of a typical Polynesian meal, you would have had a pleasant moment in a Polynesian atmosphere. We wish you a pleasant stay and a good navigation in our waters... Guy Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

Pros: surroundings and its beauty
Location: Great place to unwind and take in the locale atmosphere and beauty
Enjoyed the beauty surroundings of TeMaeve our host were very accommodating, bicycle riding everyday was a plus along with a dip in the pool. The beauty of the surrounding grounds were amazing.
