Bay View Barbers Lodge

We booked the oceanview room in front, room 2, with floor to ceiling windows, with a balcony that runs the width of the building. The balcony is open to all guests, therefore there is no privacy in the room. You can’t enjoy the great ocean view with guests sitting in front of your room's window, talking, smoking, and partying until 2am. We had to leave the curtains closed the entire 2 day stay. The constant chatter in the hallway was a bit much, so no, the room was not soundproof. The amenities were frugal, with one towel. We purchased an extra towel, shampoo and soap at a local shop. No TV, no ceiling fan, but the AC worked great and the mini fridge was convenient. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to check in early with no problem. It was very kind, and very much appreciated. The location is great. Walkable, close to everthing in Savusavu.

The room Had leaks in the roof all over the place you got dripped on in bed

check-in was smooth, but if you ask for activities you don't really get a proper answer or any help at all... great location, everything in walking distance, good and cheap restaurant next doors.. definitely not the cleanest, but if you don't mind it too much it's ok. BUT: might have had bed bugs & got a new room immediately, but I don't know if they actually did something about the problem & was still unsure if the new room would be any better (it luckily was)..

People smoking in hotel corridor with smoke filtering into the room. Too noisy with people banging doors and can hear noise from nightclub nearby.

The staff was great. It was nice overall. The TV did not have reception and the fan did not work.

The lodge owner and staffs are very friendly and very helpful during my stay.

Very rundown hotel by European standard. But very good WiFi

This property overall is a 1/5. Firstly, its unclear what room youre booking. Based on the images, you think you're booking the room with the view of the bay. Well, your not. Only 2 rooms have the view of the bay. This is misleading marketing and not at all ok. Apparently, many people complain about the same thing and theyve never felt the need to change it, making it clear that its intentional. Secodnly, the rooms arent very clean. Stains on the floor, walls and on bedding. Cheap bedding, cheap everything and styless. The covers on the chairs are grossly dirty and overall just yuck! Speaking of cheap....they give you plastic spoons LOL. So bad. Ah cheap again...your rubbish bin is a bucket. Never will i book this place again and highly recommend people stay clear from it.

Property was okay, but the whole building is very old and disheveled looking. Had to ask for another towel/glass. Also not enough tea/'coffee sachets provided. Very handy to town, and walkable to most places.

This place is as run down on the interior as it is on the exterior. A drab, dirty room with sub standard facilities and the most uncomfortable bed of our Fiji trip so far. This place is not tired or dated it's way below the standard of similarly priced properties we've stayed in on this trip. It is cheap for a reason. I wouldn't stay here again regardless of the price.
