Guest Reviews
- Jean-François (10/5): - vue super sur la mer,
hote très accueillante,
on a passé un excellent séjour dans ce logement
- Brigitte (10/5): - Die Vermieterin ist sehr hilfsbereit bei allen Anliegen. Bezaubernder Ausblick auf der Terrasse, man sieht und hört das Meer. Kurze Wege zu allen Restaurants und Cafes am Meer.
- Neira Pozas (6/5): - Cerca del centro , cuenta con ventilador .
Nos estaban esperando con collar de flores .
Buen recibimiento y acogida por parte de la dueña . Imagenes referenciales no es lo real , cabaña asignada no tiene vista al mar , no cuenta con lavadora, aunque nos ofrecio lavarnos la ropa no corresponde a lo publicado en la pagina
- Thomas (8/5): Great place, very happy I got to Rapa Nui. - Location is perfect Bathroom needs a little maintenance
- Marta (9/5): Great stay - Everything -
- Anne (7/5): Bien - L'emplacement face à la mer et à proximité du centre.
L'air de la mer et la brise qui cassent un peu la chaleur étouffante. La route bruyante juste devant la maison, la chaleur étouffante dans le logement, ventilateur mais pas de clim. Toiture en tôle ondulée. Humidité+++ . C'était l'étuve, mais c'est la saison qui veut ça.
Protège matelas en polyester qui tient vraiment trop chaud... Dormir sur du plastique.
- Olivier (9/5): De quoi s’en mettre plein la vue - Violette bien gentille.
L’emplacement et la vue
Le côté cabane au bord de l’eau
La terrasse
Le grille pain à gaz
Restos plutôt bons à proximité Un peu loin d’une supérette, prévoir un coup d’avance
- Javier (9/5): - Amabilidad y ubicación
- Carlos (10/5): - La atención de la dueña, muy muy agradable y siempre dispuesta a ayudarte Nada
- Jill (9/5): A good location for exploring the amazing island - The location was great and the terrace perfect. Bed very comfortable and host very kind . Nice to hear the sea The payment process is difficult if you don’t have cash ( chile pesos or us $.) there is Wi-Fi but it’s very poor and we used data or went local cafe.
- Bezombes (8/5): Idéal pour un long séjour à Rapa nui. - L'accueil de violetta, sa patience (2h 30 passés à la douane de Hangaroa) sa gentillesse, sa générosité ( merci pour mon anniversaire) son souci de voir ses clients satisfaits ( elle s'est dérangée pour nous, à l'office du tourisme, car nous n'étions pas contents de ces nouvelles lois d'obligation de prendre un guide partout...)
L'emplacement est idéal en bord de mer.literie très confortable. Calme. Parking. Petit jardin bon rapport qualité/ prix. Pour nous français, il manquerait : un grille pain, une passoire, au moins 2 casseroles,un peu plus de vaisselle, des portes manteaux, une grande poubelle avec sacs, un endroit pour ranger les affaires.
L'escalier de meunier très à pic n'est pas fait pour des personnes ayant des problèmes de jambes. Robineterie cuisine et douche vétustes, à voir, avant fuites d'eau .Mais cela n' est pas une critique juste pour améliorer les choses !
- Caroline (8/5): Agréable. - L'emplacement est magnifique. Les équipements de la cuisine.
- Cristina (10/5): Perfecta anfitriona - Todo estuvo genial. La atención recibida, la ubicación, las vistas...Tuvimos un cambio de horario de última hora en nuestro vuelo y no hubo ningún inconveniente por su parte en modificar la hora de recogida en el aeropuerto. Excelente atención. No hay nada que reseñar, todo bien. Ojalá regresar!
- adriana (10/5): La mejor estancia en rapa Nui - Que la vista es hermosa, que la Sra violeta nos ayudó en todo, totalmente recomendado si quieren una cabaña relajada con vistas estupenda y cerca de todo. Fue mejor de lo que esperé y estoy muy feliz! En realidad no tengo reparos, todo bien
- Leonardo Felix (10/5): -
- Fabrizio (10/5): -
- 华华 (10/5): 非常不错 - 地理位置很好,负责的女孩非常耐心帮忙打印和联系第二天的行程,下次还会住这家。 希望房间的灯特别是厨房的灯能够更亮一些。
- Emilio (10/5): - Cabaña con excelente ubicación, y la persona encargada con muy buena disposición para ayudarte y preocupada de si lo estás pasando bien (de principio a fin). Recomiendo estas cabañas 100%!
- Pedro Henrique (9/5): -
- Anonymous (10/5): One of my favorite places to stay of all time. - Incredible location and a very charming cabin. Comfortable, quaint, affordable, and an excellent view. One of the best stays in recent memory. Listen to the waves crash as you fall asleep!
- Carolyn (8/5): Very good - Great location and nice outdoor area; nice greeting/shuttle service to and from airport Limited kitchen and living room areas; tight bathroom
- Irina (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the property - by the sea and very close to the centre, there´s a restaurant right on the doorstep. It came equipped with all of the necessary facilities, including instant coffee.
We were very well looked after by the host. All in all had a great holiday.
Special thanks to Manini who picked us up from the airport and dropped us off on the last day.
- Yilin (9/5): Wonderful stay, amazing experience! - The host was very warm and responsive. The location was great with direct view of the ocean. The facility is basic but clean. There is a fan, but no AC, so during the hot afternoon could be a little uncomfortable. Then we realized this is “normal “ on the island, since most businesses, including the airport, have no AC either. All in all, we had a great time, it’s hard to be unhappy in such a unique environment!
- Yulia (9/5): I'd love to come back and stay again at the same place! I'm very happy with the choice we made. - Overall, that was a great experience! Violeta (host) met us at the airport, on the way to cabana showed us all key places on the main street, provided clear instructions, and btw on our departure day she also gave us a ride to the airport.
The best thing about our cabana is view! It's fantastic, you can enjoy the ocean view, rocks and waves as long as you want. The cabana style is tropical countryside which is very nice. It's filled with light but you can use roll blinds if you want. It has beautiful terrace, great for chilling time. There is all necessary inside cabana, even in case you want to cook for yourself. We had just a few days and preferred restaurants, but there was still great to have fridge, coffee machine and microwave (to warm up empanadas:) Bed was comfortable. And there was hot water in the shower, no problem. Only good memories! If you are a light sleeper as I, you may have some issues with a noise from cars and motorbikes from the road nearby. However, the road is not very busy, so generally it's not that bad. For my boyfriend it was not a problem at all. So, it's personal thing.
One thing I'd recommend to the host - place anti-mosquito nets to the windows. It's hot to sleep with closed windows in summer season, but with the open ones you can be bitten with mosquitoes. It didn't ruin our trip though. Just some discomfort. Again, overall, that was great experience.
- Ganesh (8/5): Location, Views & Violeta make the Matavai! - Location, Location, Location. Outstanding view of the ocean from the house. We would get together every evening on the balcony and were happy to spend hours talking with the ocean in the foreground. It is 5 -10 mins walk from downtown, restaurants, and stores. Ocean sounds and cool breeze lulled us to sleep every night.
Large enough for 2 adults (& a child), good beds, adequately provisioned kitchen. Violeta (the landlady) is communicative, responsive and very helpful. Bathroom needs updates and a more thorough cleaning. I can understand that it is difficult to do in humid climate and that too so close to the ocean. The property can do with modernization.
- Julia (9/5): A perfect value for your money plus a very nice host! - Location is perfect
- Friederike (10/5): An amazing place to stay at with a beautiful view over the sea and the nicest host! - The view and the host were absolutely amazing!
- Allan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabriel (8/5): Wonderful cozy oceansie location - Excellent location overlooking the ocean. It is wonderful to wake up to blue skies and the sound of waves breaking. The host make a great effort to keep the place clean. It is small but cozy. There are outside seating areas with flowers around, and at least when we were there, the weather was very benign and great for sitting outdoors. The centre of Hanga Roa is just a short 5 minute walk with plenty of restaurants and other facilities. Quite cramped and old with creaking doors and minimum kitchen space. The door to the outside must be watched like a hawk. If you close the door behind you without the key, you'll lock yourself out, and if you didn't take your phone out or your wallet, you'd be in a bit of a mess.
- Roman (9/5): Superb -
- Eric (10/5): This Location worth every cent! - Perfect location with sea of the ocean! and Violeta is a warm hearted host…can only recommend this apartment everyone who is visiting Rapa Nui
- Nestor (10/5): Exceptional - It was a great stay. A short walk to town with a great view and sound of the ocean couldn't be beat. Violeta also is one of the kindest souls and is super friendly.
- David (9/5): Comfortable oceanside guesthouse is a great value. - You're across the street from the ocean, and can hear the waves hitting the shore at night. Convenient location a five minute walk from the center of town. One of the best restaurants we tried is next door, Taha Tai. It can be a little warm in the room during the day, but cools down at night and is quite comfortable.
- Dave (7/5): it was fine for what i needed - location was good. it was adequate for what i needed. Bathroom was out dated
- Clive (10/5): Host was fantastic giving us lifts to difficult locations to get to without a car. Even bought a toaster for us when we - Beautiful location overlooking sea, with great balcony & walking distance to all facilities in town.
- Wilkins (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christine (10/5): Exceptional - Outstanding views ....cabana was first class , everything you needed ...great value for money. Violetta was friendly and helpful. If we return will be staying there for sure !!
- Kate (7/5): Good - Violeta met us when we arrived and was just lovely.
- Iradublin (9/5): Room with a view and amazing host - Violeta was an amazing host. She informed us about the Island, things to do around and lend us a book to read about Rapa Nui
She also organised to be collected from airport for free
The Cabaña was very clean and served the purpose.
From the balcony we could see the sea and enjoy the sunset and sound of the waves N/A
- Russell (10/5): Exceptional -
- Russell (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dragan (10/5): Exceptional - The view from the balkony was beautiful. Location was great and the owner was really helpfull. We really enjoyed our staying here.
- Brian (10/5): Magical island retreat - This place is amazing - the location, the view, the beds. Violeta is a wonderful and kind hostess who will go the extra mile. We even got a free Gato friend thrown in (our children love cats) - though as he was a neighbor's cat, I can't guarantee he will stop by when you are there. Everything was great - there was nothing about this stay we didn't like.
- Roseli (8/5): Very good -
- Virginia (9/5): On cold and rainy days we were comfy in chairs right in front of a window looking at the ocean. - Fantastic ocean view. Comfy chairs and bed. Nice balcony. Kitchen could use a better knife and a few more pots.
- Ellen (8/5): Rustic cabin with spectacular ocean views - A simple rustic cabin that is yet comfortable and has everything you need for a couple of days exploring the island. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is hard to beat. Cozy balcony, very friendly and responsive host, wonderful meet and greet and the airport. The location is excellent for those who want to be close to the city and explore Hanga Roa, walking distance to everywhere.
- Mari (10/5): Amazing accommandation with breathtaking view - This is the sweetest accommandation ever.
Pickup included, and welcoming with flowers was absolutely amazing. The apartment is suuuper clean and has everything you need and more. Even soap and mosquito repellent. Kitchen is wellequipped and beds are so comfy. View is breathtaking, lovely porch and it’s only a short walk to the center. The host is the sweetest and most helpful woman. Thank you so much for making our stay on the Island so memorable. Highly recommended. 10/10, and would have given it 12/10 if possible. .
