Samoan Outrigger Hotel

I enjoyed my stay at the Samoan Outrigger Hotel very much. The staff were very friendly and helpful in all regards, offering suggestions on visiting area of the island. Cable or satellite television would be the only upgrade I would recommend. I will certainly visit the hotel again in the future.

Wilma, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are basic and clean the property is an old colonial style place and Samoa fales for hire setting surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden and a pool, they serve a different breakfast each day very nice, the staff are lovely and helpful. The dining area is available for use to the guests and a communal kitchen. We often would buy food and bring it back and eat at the dining area. Felt like a true Samoan experience better one of the larger hotels. One slight negative is not safe to keep food in the communal kitchen, other than that everything else is fab, I would come back here and so would my family.

It was excellent. We arrived on a Sunday which is when most stores in Samoa are closed, however the hotel held our bags and provided excellent information on where to go and what would be open. Pool was nice and room was good.

Great choice and excellent starting point!

Wonderful hotel, excellently situated - the personal is utmost helpful and the breakfast is great! I had a Fale and would highly recommend this as it provides a wonderful temperature at night.

Warm and Welcoming

We stayed in an airconditioned ensuite room which was a godsend as it was incredibly hot throughout our 9 night stay. Although the room was budget priced it included a lovely fresh tropical breakfast daily, The staff were very friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to assist us with taxis, organising a hire car etc. Room serviced daily. The ladies who made breakfast and cleaned the rooms were just so lovely
Tanya, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed, modern air con and shower. Shower was hot in the afternoon but cold in the early morning. Pool was refreshing. Good restaurants very close by and convenience stores. Staff were very friendly, especially the lady who was on night shift and waited with me for my airport transfer at 4am. Recommend seeking assistance from reception to book transfer to airport as you will probably get far better price and service than I did booking it myself.
Laura, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Wouldn’t recommend for families especially if looking to book the traditional Fale. Location of property isn’t far from town so easy to find. I was booked to stay 2 nights but unfortunately only stayed one night given how noisy and uncomfortable the bedding was. Don’t take huge suitcases as the only access to the fales are steep stairs. Budget hotel so you pay for what you get. Very noisy due to local dogs who barked nonstop for hours. Shared bathroom facilities which were quite dated. Simply a bed to rest on and nothing else.
Lucy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff were welcoming and friendly. It is a budget hotel so I didn’t have high expectations. Clearly the room hadn’t been used for a while so in a high humidity climate, things are going to be damp. The bed was damp and there was an overwhelming musty smell. I discovered it was the cushions and pillows that were causing it so took them out of the room and it smelt better. After the air conditioning had been on for a while the bed had dried out a bit for the second night. There was a kettle in the room and it had been treated with some kind of disinfectant. Even after boiling some spring water in it several times and throwing it out, my tea still tasted of it. The room was clean and the breakfast was nice.

Charming old homestead Well maintained and very clean 24 hr onsite support Daily breakfast It does have sone share facilities but ootiins for private too. The kitchen is open for self catering.
Anastasia, 16-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I like boutique hotels and this establishment follows those sort of lines - historical artefacts, antique furniture and photos showcasing the local Apia history dating back 100 years and more. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was nicely presented.
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a beautiful and peaceful property. It’s not spotless like a resort, but it is wonderful and comfortable. The staff is phenomenal and so helpful for all your needs. They called me so many taxis and helped make sure they would come (often calling them again). I stayed in the Fale, and it’s such a cool experience. It’s definitely more like camping, but it’s unique and fun. Make sure to bring an extension cord because the power outlets are on the ceiling in the fales.

Not a 3 star hotel. More like a 1 star

We stayed here because it was closer to the hospital. The room was clean. The shared bathrooms were dirty and one of the shower locks didn't work. I was uncomfortable when I tried to enter the ladies shower and there was a man using the general sink in the small entryway. It shows it being a 3 star hotel but it was more a 1 star hotel. Different regions in the world should have different star rating charts. They have a weird policy of not wearing shoes in the place. You leave them at the front entrance. I get their point of keeping the house clean but it's so different from most hotels. It would have been ok if I had socks to wear around. I absolutely recommend inside shoes and shower shoes. The shared fridge in the kitchen was dirty as well. I don't feel comfortable leaving my food in there. The first lady that checked us in was somewhat rude but the rest of the staff were very kind and friendly. The history of the place is very interesting. I think it needs to be a museum. I wouldn't stay here again nor recommend this place taking into account the cost per night and the experience I had.

The place has many of the best restaurants in close proximity. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and it feels very peaceful. Exceeds expectations for the cost.
