Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I enjoyed my stay very much. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and my room were clean and room service was excellent. The town centre is a 20 min walk but taxis are very cheap. Great pizzas! Fab view from the balcony

    Great location, fair price. Basic facilities. If you are a traveller, this is the place to stay and meet other travellers. The bathroom is outside the room and it's very big, with many showers and sinks

    Great location and space. I didn't realise the apartment had seperate bedroom so it was nice to feel like you were home away from home. The space had everything we needed. Utili (host) was very friendly and approachable and was able to cater to some of our enquires as well as give us advice on some things or places we asked him about.

    We stayed at Skylodge 11 nights, our studio room was breathtaking, clean and we enjoyed every minute of it. From checking in at 4am in the morning to checking out, we humbly thank you Uliti and the staff for looking after our every need during our stay. Awesome beach view, great parking area and we felt so safe staying at the Skylodge. We highly recommend Skylodge to all and we will definitely stay with them again for sure. Merry Xmas and happy new year to you all, kind regards Ofa Tupola

    The hostel is well located and has comfy beds. Everything was quite clean as well. The workers are helpful and always with a smile on their face (at least the young girl). We stayed one night and then on Sunday have to come back as we had the ferry cancelled and they came to open us with a smile even though it was their Sabbath.

    Village Backpackers was clean, affordable and in a great location in the centre of town. It was walking distance to the wharf and most cafes. The shared bathrooms were always kept clean. What made our stay was the staff, they were kind and helpful and went out of their way to help us arrange a last minute ride to the airport. They also had all the information for things to do around the island.
