Painapaopao Backpacker

The kitchen was very organized, the shower and rooms were very clean. I loved how the floors felt walking around barefoot. I enjoyed the shared space while still having privacy with the wall and curtain. By this point in the trip, I was used to the roosters and occasional dogs. I found the location to be very home-like, comforting, peaceful. I slept great and made new friends! The host was very easy to communicate with and helpful with any questions I had. I would definitely return.

The bed could have been a smidge more comfortable, but I still slept great... this can be personal preference for people since we all like different levels of soft/hard.

Clean property with amazing staff. The available kitchen is nicely equipped with all the necessities. The dorms were nice and clean too and each bed had its own mosquito net, which I appreciated. The bedrooms is technically a dorm but there are walls separating each bed so you sort of get your own little room/cubicle room. There are no doors to those "cubicles" but a curtain for privacy. Be mindful that it's not very close to the ferry port so you would have to arrange your own transportation there. However I was pleasantly surprise to see that they have agreements with some rental agency and you can get a scooter delivered to you at the lodge and picked up from there as well. I loved my stay there and would stay again.

The most organised set up I have seen, each bed has their own space for fridge & dry food storage. Beds enclosed with walls and curtain for great privacy for a dorm & separate men’s/woman’s facilities.

Large chicken farm close by which doubles the noise of chickens & roosters.

Lots of privacy, all the amenities you could need including fans, mosquito nets, and a full kitchen.

Painapaopao Backerpacker has a dorm and common area (with cooking facilities) although we stayed in one of the cabins (with shower and bathroom). The place was clean and it was easy to get the keys despite our arriving a little late. The kitchen looked well supplied and was clean, but we did not cook any meals here. They have a good place to park if you have a car or scooter, although turning into the driveway the first time is a little tricky due to a small sign along the ring road. Friendly staff and visitors made for a great stay on Moorea. Thai food is sometimes available nearby (not open everyday).

It can get hot in the cabins in the afternoon if the sun is really beating down (protected side of the island). Roosters will announce the break of day, maybe even earlier... they are everywhere on Moorea.

Its a lovely accommodation on this beautyful island. Camille is amazing person, She did all best to help me when I lost my phone. Although they have budget friendly and "dorm" room, all bed has own private area like a little room in a big room with walls and curtains+ mosquito curtain As well.
