Natalie is a wonder host! Alaroots is amazing - we met some truly lovely human beings here, learnt a lot about polynesian culture and just had a blast. Do go expecting a 5* hotel - it is a true hostel, and a cultural experience but also comfortable and has everything you could need! Natalie's daughter also helped us hire a car for an incredible rate from a local company - which saves us a load of money and was very patient with our rudimentary french skills!! Thank you Alaroots and Natalie!!! Maruuru roa!

The wifi was not available due to network issue.

The accommodation is reflecting the description, good vibes, good budget and facilities. The localisation is convenient and the owner did a local activity to introduce us the traditions.

Cultural activities, value for money

Amazing entertainment. You learn something new about the culture every night, so be excited for that. Tata is very kind and shows you the surroundings and their dances, cultural customs. She has a cute little daughter who dances beautifully too. Depending on the length of your stay you will learn how to make bracelets, flower crowns and how to open a coconut. Lovely hosts that keep you entertained.

The location is a bit far from everything and there's nothing around.

The team was exceptional and made the trip amazing. The activities and good vibes are immaculate. You cannot come to Huahine and not stay at ALAROOTS. The beds are comfortable and it's really good value for money.

Rooms are simple as expected but everything is clean and there are fans and basic amenities.

The hosts are very very kind and thoughtful. The activities were fun and informative, and Haapu is a charming village all of the habitants are very friendly!

Hosts Natalie and Papi were the highlight of staying at Alaroots. Some of the nicest, most welcoming people I have ever met. They provided great insight on local culture and traditions.

Best hostel experience I ever had! The hostel itself is basic but has everything you need. The location is incredible; it’s in a small village by the lagoon and there is a stunning 1 hour walk to a perfect deserted beach. Natalie who runs the hostel is a legend, she makes every new arrival feel like family and her energy is infectious. I loved our dance class and traditional French Polynesian group meal. I’ll always remember my Alaroots stay!

Be aware that there is no bus in Huahine. It IS really easy to go go Fare hitch hiking (the way back is not that easy!) but if you want to visit the Island, you will have to rent a car. Biking will be really hard because the road always goes up and down !!

Natalie is the nicest host i've ever met. The guests were so friendly too !

The people were amazing. The culture and the food... I'll definitely come back there

There is just one toilet for all the guests, so sometimes you have to wait for your turn. Especially in the morning.

A perfect place for a budget night. If you are lucky as we were, you could stay in the dormitory room with really nice fellow travelers, and have a great time telling stories and sharing ideas about the island. The place is very simple, but everything was clean and tidy. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom was nice with some flowers. Beds were clean and comfortable, we enjoyed our one night stay.

The experience at the alaroots hostel is unique and unlike any other in the best way possible! The owners take you in like family, cooked us dinner where we all sat together & learned about Tahitian culture & one another’s lives, was absolutely beautiful! They go above & beyond to connect the community of people staying here, it’s a true home away from home. Always clean too which can sometimes be hard to come by at hostels! as well as friendly:)

The hostel is newer and has some kinks being worked out. Very comfortable beds and good value for the price

What a lovely little hostel! Natalie and her son were so welcoming and shared much of their local traditions. Such a special stay.

Only one bathroom , one cold shower and toilet for up to maybe 10 people! Wash the dishes again before you use them. The bed on private room was nice and soft but I had bites on me nextorning and hoping it has bedbugs from the pillow for on her. The room is tiny. Can't lock the door on outside when I go out.

I liked the people there. The guests and owners were nice and tried to be accommodating. It's vheapheap so young people can afford to stay and make friends with fellow travelers. Little kitchen.

Old building, no lockers, far away from everything
