Stayed 3 nights in a fale on arrival in Samoa, unfortunately during a heatwave that had the locals gasping. Sleeping was difficult with a fan that was fixed in position - for comfort it would be great to be able to direct it on the bed. The pool saved me! But apart from hot nights a lovely place and the staff took really good care of me. Recommended any time it's not stinking hot!

The property is clean and well kept. The problem with the room was the little holes in the ceiling above. Tiny black sandy stuff dropped into my hair and ears and into my bed sheets and pillows every morning when I wake up. Please check Room 11. Otherwise …. I like the hotel very much. Thank you 🙏

Our room had recently been done up and looked good. The staff were just lovely and very helpful. It was great value for the cost. Air con was great and the pool was so nice to cool down in. Breakfast was really nice and a great time to meet other guests. The owner was also very nice. We will be back even though we can stay locally with friends. Loved it.

This is a great place for when you arrive in Samoa. You meet like-minded people, travelers and it's fairly quiet and comfortable to stay in, all that for a great price. Breakfast is good :), they have a pool and you should stay in the Fale as a first experience and see if it's your thing ;) The staff are very nice and always open for a nice chat

The friendliest hotel I've stayed in

Pros: The friendly staff. Being able to hire a car from the front desk. The pool and outdoor sitting area. The breakfast. The shop across the road.
Cons: Newer, thicker mattresses in the fales.
The Samoan Outrigger Hotel was a treasure. I'm so glad we chose to stay here. We spent a few nights in the fales for the experience, then moved into rooms for the rest of our stay. The breakfast was a lovely way to start the day and the pool was a cool refresher at the end of the day. It was lovely to sit outside in the cool of the evening and chat with other guests.
