The staff are friendly and helpful. The meals were delicious, the view was great. The room was comfortable. What more could you ask for? Really loved it here. Highly recommend their sister resorts also. Stayed at all of them. They helped us organise diving, a trip to Qamea and waterfall hike, all recommended. Thanks

Actually, it was not what I was looking for. It is a hostel in the middle of the jungle, no hot water, electric power limited (the generator was switched on from 7:00PM until 12:00AM). It's very hot (without electric power, there is no point to have a fan). Old mattresses, sheets dirty. ...and I don't look for luxury, usualy travel... More

Bula vinaka. Thanks for the staff comments and we wish to offer our sincere apologies that we were not the right spot for you. Our housekeeping team has investigated the mattress/sheets, and we have now bought a few new replacements. Our lovely little lodge has been specifically designed for adventurous budget travellers and divers to experience real Fijian style hospitality.... More

According to my guidebook, Fijians are the friendliest people on earth! Tuvununu hostel was really an amazing place to experience that friendliness. All the staff make it their mission to welcome you and get to know you during your time there. Each night they do a kava session and a mixture of Tuvununu hosts and locals play guitars and sing;...

Lovely people, good clean rooms, a relaxed atmosphere. The staff really looked after me, cooked great food, entertained us with kava sessions and singing. The waterfalls trip was fantastic, had such a great time here! Also perfect base for diving in the best place in Fiji- the dive master came to the lodge most nights to organize things for us....

If you wanna come close to the fijian people and culture than go there and enjoy as much as possible. It is a great place with lovely people. They take good care of you and make your stay unforgetable. Join their day trips like diving, snorkeling or hiking to the waterfalls with the locals far away from all these tourists... More

Very good time here. The people were extremely friendly and the place was beautiful. Only bad part was not being able to swim right out in front of the place due to it being a conservation area. highly recommend this place.

You really feel like you are part of the Fijians' lifestyle here. Set in a remote part of Taveuni Island, the setting is gorgeous. Fun kayaking, delicious meals and wonderfully, hospitable staff. Linda and Cooke

I had the greatest of pleasure staying for 4 days at this backpackers hotel. If you want luxury and to be waited on hand and foot by local people who are discouraged from talking to you, then go elsewhere. If you want to share in conversations, carva, good food, family life and a caring attitude then come here. They really... More

We spent there 6 very relaxing days, enjoying the amazing views from the massive front deck terrace... We did have time for everything, as we did our diving course whilst staying there, but you could also do lots of different activities such as hiking, surfing, kayaking, snorkelling, etc... You could experience Fiji lifestyle as well, just taking a quick taxi... More
