“A nice clean, comfortable new studio, next to Tiare Market grocery store. Walk to Matira Beach.”
+Breakfast was good, could have had some fruit every day with less bread. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. Special shout out to Arii who looked after us right from booking till we left the island. Thanks for everything Arii.

+It was very clean and new. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was quite big. The breakfast on the terrasse was a great plus. Arii even accommodated a late checkout which was great. Very close to Matira Beach and to a supermarket.
−Since this is an apartment, I would expect some basic cooking items such as salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar to cook.

“We really liked the proximity to the only public beach.”
+Everything was fine. The accommodation was as described and clean. The host was very friendly and helpful - thank you for the pleasant stay!
−Shortly before our arrival, we read a review mentioning an unpleasant smell coming from the toilet. Unfortunately, we also noticed this from time to time, especially when the air conditioning was off. As a craftsman, my impression is that there might be a small issue with the toilet pipe, which could allow some smell from the drain. However, it wasn’t really a big problem.

“Modern House but Still Needs Some Improvements”
+The house is modern, clean, and well maintained. It is located in a quiet area, about a 15-minute walk from the best public beach and a few minutes to several restaurants. There is also a nearby supermarket, which adds convenience despite the higher prices.
−Throughout our stay, the toilet emitted a persistent and unpleasant smell of urine, which affected our comfort. Beach towels and hand towels were not provided, and the breakfast was very poor , just a few pieces of bread, croissants, and fruit for two people, without any drinks (no water, juice, or milk). The outdoor area also lacked privacy, which was disappointing.

“It was a big room and served the purpose”
+Big room and clean, close to a mini market, host was responsive and nice
−- Noisy fridge all day long, freezer did not even work - bedsheets, comforter and pillow smelled completely full of laundry softener like they used an entire laundry softner (e.g. you go into the home and it smells completely toxic more than a duty free parfume section), it was so toxic that I could not sleep the first night, then I wrote the host and they offered to give me parfume free sheets and when the cleaning lady came, the sheets where also full of fragrance again. But maybe that’s how it is here - no mosquito nets on the windows and there were quite a few mosquitos, so we couldn’t sleep with open windows if we wanted to - no iron - a few more amenities would have been nice like salt, pepper for cooking etc.

“A lovely stay.”
+New. Modern. Bright. Good location. Arii was lovely. Exactly as advertised.
−It isnt a “didnt like” but i felt there could be some towel hooks. A long mirror. Some hand towels. An iron. Some more cleaning products - as i didnt want to leave the place untidy. A floor mop for sand.

“Un beau séjour à Bora-bora dans un logement confortable et idéalement placé.”
+Le rapport qualité/prix imbattable sur l’île ! Logement spacieux et très fonctionnel, situé à 15 min à pieds de la belle plage de Matira. Une alimentation générale se trouve également à quelques mètres.
