A little run down.

Wonderful host and very nice bathroom. Access to a kitchen with fridge , microwave and stove plus coffee and tea was wonderful

The fan did not work very well but it was ok. be aware of the barking dogs. they can be frightening but they are friendly. one in particular wants to be petted all the time.

Convenient location to explore the island, 10-15 minute bike ride to Uturoa centre (supermarkets, restaurants, ferry...). Small supermarket around the corner. Free use of bikes and kayak. Kayaking to Motu Ofetaro (beach) was amazing! Nice host, helped us with all our questions.

Out of town on a quiet street. Bikes and kayaks included, which was bomb - you can cycle to the town or kayak to Motu Ofetaro. Also Orion the dog will be your best scratch buddy!

One of the rooms has the bathroom down the hallway in the house. This was no problem for us but something to note for those who enjoy privacy.

Baptiste was an exceptional host. He was kind and thoughtful throughout our 3 night stay. The room had a nice patio where you can eat. Also a kitchen with your own fridge. The Best value were the free bikes to ride into town and the kayaks to the motu. We were very happy hanging at the motu on the beautiful beach with the local cat and snorkeling. We saw many sting rays and sharks (for free!) We were also able to leave our bags after checkout.

There was nothing to dislike.

We stayed two nights. We found the place to be nicer than it looks on the photos online - we had more privacy than the photos suggested. The host Baptiste was very nice, welcoming and helpful, and the breakfasts were really great. We also had two good dinners - one from a restaurant across the road, and one from a dial-up company that delivers the meals in real bowls, not plastic containers, and then they collect them the next day - what a great initiative. Happy.

The dogs slept in the house just behind our door. We could hear them moving around during the night.

The lodge is 3 km or so from the town center but easily accessible with the bikes available for free to customers. The small island where we can swim and stay on the beach is accessible with the kayaks also available for free. A kitset pool with outdoor shower and garden chairs was appreciated after a long warm day . We had chosen this lodge as it was advertised as No Pets allowed. However this rule only applies to customers and we were fronted by 2 big dogs on arrival and during the 3 days we stay there. The owner is friendly and helpful.

The room was really small, the ensuite bathroom was too small and divided only by a curtain, there was no carparking and no shelter. Most of this did not matter until we had to go out to get dinner in a rainstorm and got absolutely soaked getting to our car. There was another (cheaper?) room available which seemed larger and had covered access and a separate bathroom - our friend staying in that thought it was a good deal and very adequate.

This place was exceedingly cheap for Ra'iatea and Baptiste and his family were lovely, could not have been more helpful. The place was in a quiet road but handy to the coast and the town. The breakfast were amazing, probably worth staying just for these!

very nice Host, very Caring!

The owner was extremely helpful. He arranged all necessary stuff for us. He booked restaurant Villa Ixora for dinner (highly recommended), booked boat trip, car and all we wished. There are kayaks a bicycles available for free. Definitely recommended to paddle on the kayaks to the close motu where there was a beautiful beach. The owner has two nice big dogs who are running around and are very friendly also to the guests. Thanks for all that care.

The host was very helpful. He arranged for a rental car and gave us excellent advise about where we could hike, and places for dinner. The little kitchen used by us and the other room's guest was handy for making our breakfast and sometimes dinner.

It would be nice to have a basic toiletries such as shampoo/conditioner, etc.

The location was great, not that far from the town/city center. The owner provided a free bike which we used to go out for breakfast. Felt safe. The location was easy to find.

Nothing everything was great.

Baptiste and his mother were amazing hosts we felt right at home right away. Their home is so clean and beautiful setting. It was so relaxing and we had a later pick up and rhey let us stay to lounge around for the day. Very nice. There was a great market only a few minutes away to pick up some groceries and a fabulous gourmet restaurant also within walking distance. But most of all they are really really great hosts. Right from the start of booking Baptiste helped me with questions about evrry little thing i was worried about for our stay on the island and our connections. He arranged our airport transfer and our transfer to our next destination. It was first class service.

noisy but friendly dogs would have been an issue if we had stayed longer--road noise also

room only used for 6 hours while in transit noon until 6 PM

The lack of privacy. Host and other guests come and go.

No breakfast. No coffee. No ice. Unfriendly host. Advertised a pool, NO POOL with no apology. Host promised to arrange a taxi to pick us up at the airport (with our name) and no one came. It cost $15 each way to go only 6 miles.

Nothing to say here, everything truly exceeded my expectations. If you're not a big dog person, just be warned that one of the dogs in particular is very friendly and wants to jump all over you and basically be your best friend. It was fantastic for me, but this might not be for everyone.

Think of Teavapiti Lodge as a typical Airbnb/homestay - not as the Conrad Bora Bora which a lot of sour reviews have seemingly expected. The host was incredibly helpful in making my quick trip to Raiatea a good one, not only offering great local recommendations but also organising a rental car for the day, last minute, and prearranging a taxi for my arrival into Raiatea. The room and bathroom were fantastic, clean and comfortable. You have to cross a shared hallway to reach the bathroom, but who cares? You're staying in an excellent location with a great host and some adorable dogs. Overall, great value for money and I really enjoyed my time in Raiatea. I'd love to come back and stay here again when I return to this beautiful part of the world!

All great!

Great location, friendly staff, very clean, great pool. A perfect choice for those who want budget accommodation that is clean and comfortable with access to a kitchen etc. Recommended!
