Génial ! Super séjour d'une semaine chez Jessica, Teiva et leur petite famille (2 enfants magnifiques et 3 chiens sympathiques :)) L'emplacement est au top sur la superbe (et unique) plage de Matira, mais aussi avec des restau et snacks juste à côté et même une supérette bien fournie et très pratique ! La chambre / studio se trouve au rdc de la maison, le lit est très confortable, vous avez accès directement au jardin et à la plage, il y a un frigo et en plus ils vont ajouter une kitchenette ! On s'y sent très bien et on est accueillis à bras ouverts ! Merci Jessica et Teiva :)

Our stay at Jessica and Teiva's was very special. They are a very kind and lovely family and Jessica was absolutely committed to make our stay perfect. As there are no cooking facilities installed in the room yet , Jessica helped us out so it was possible to cook our own dinner. We also had the possibility to spend a wonderful evening at their restaurant and this was a very special experience for us. :-) The beach is absolutely gorgeous - it seems like the best spot! Jessica and Teiva have 3 dogs and you really have to love dogs because they will follow you everywhere. We absolutely recommend their place because with Jessica you have the perfect person to help you out. :-) we hope to come back one day! Lena & Ivo

This was the best air bnb I have ever stayed at. Jess and Teiva have a wonderful family, a beautiful and perfect home, great friends, and the best restaurant on the island. They were extremely helpful in giving me ideas and pointers on where to go, how to get there, and what to do. They are very happy generous hosts who are really fun to hang out with. They truely are masters of their craft in the human resource field. They have, in my opinion, the best location on the island at Matira Beach. The most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen continuously. And more connections than I can express. Great environment to learn and explore. It's a must.

Un spot paradisiaque , les pieds dans l'eau , la plus belle plage de Bora Bora , proche de toutes commodités , pas besoin de louer une voiture . Chambre superbe et spacieuse, petit coin kitchenette appréciable . Bref, un endroit que je recommande très vivement pour un séjour au top sur Bora Bora sans oublier les hôtes , Jessica et Teiva adorables !

Right on the best beach in the islands. Excellent hosts. Lovely accommodations. Best stay ever!

Superbe emplacement et superbe plage

This is the best Air BnB I've seen! The bedroom is very clean,organized and spacious. The AC worked perfectly and the wifi was very fast,which is very rare in French Polynesia. Having a fridge,a kettle and microwave was very useful! The best part of it was the beautiful bedroom view to the bluest lagoon water.The best beach of Bora Bora is your front porch! It happens to be a great sunset spot too! No need for scooter or car rental as restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Jessica went out of her way to make us feel at home and was very helpful to pick us up and drop us off at the airport. I highly recommend staying at Jessica's during your stay in Bora Bora.I would love to go back!

Jessica and Teiva has been GREAT hosts and their place is amazing, right on the beach! They've helped us with traveling arrangements and we had the pleasure of enjoying a very good home cooked meal! Highly recommend this place for Bora Bora island visitors

We had a great time on Bora Bora at Vincent's studio. It's spacious, with bathroom, big kitchen and washing machine. We could use cayak and paddle board, which was great! Also Vincent was very helpful and nice host. He answered tons of our questions and helped to organize some activities around the island. It's around 15 minutes on the bicycle to the most famous (and basically the only one public) beach Matira. Although this studio is probably the cheapest option on Bora, Vincent is very serious about your convenience. For example, on second day of our stay, frigde break down and next day in the morning we had a brand new one!

Vincent est venu nous chercher au bateau , accueil très chaleureux.

Vincent is very friendly and helpfull. He even picked us up from the airport. He also speaks very good english, which made it easy for us, because we don't speak french. His house is located in the Main Town of Bora Bora, but you will probably need a car or a scooter anyway, no matter where your accommodation is on Bora Bora. The main (and only) public beach on Bora Bora is about 8km. His 3 dogs are very friendly and wanna play and cuddle all day long ;)

Vincent ha sido un host muy amable y atento a nuestras necesidades. La habitación cuenta con aire acondicionado y eso fue genial. Los atardeceres y sus perros nadadores han sido todo un placer!

Nous étions une famille de 5 personnes, et le logement était parfait pour nous. Basique, mais propre et fonctionnel (il y a même la clim). Le logement comprend tout ce qui est nécessaire, et même un lave-linge si besoin. La petite terrasse au bord de l'eau (le logement n'y donne pas directement, mais on peut en profiter) est idéale pour admirer le magnifique coucher de soleil. Vincent est très accueillant et a tout fait pour nous aider (son ami a assuré notre transfert à l'aller et au retour, ainsi que pour faire des courses), le logement est bien situé et calme, à proximité d'un snack et assez proche du port de Vaitape et de ses commodités. Si vous souhaitez visiter l'île, il vous faudra quand même louer une voiture (loueur à 5 min à pieds), ainsi que pour aller à la pointe Matira (seule plage publique de l'île). En bref, si vous souhaitez séjourner à Bora-Bora sans vous ruiner, c'est l'endroit où aller ! Māuruuru Vincent pour ton accueil.

Hôte aimable et serviable.

excellente situation accueil et transfert sont un point fort Je recommande ce logement

À quelques minutes du centre la maison est idéalement située. Pas d obligation d avoir un véhicule à part pour faire le tour de l île au moins une fois. Vincent sait se rendre disponible pour ses hôtes et sait vous orienter pour toutes les activitées .

Accueil sympathique et décontracté. Gérard est discret, mais présent pour nous conseiller. Logement très près du centre ville, donc accès à pied. Vélos à disposition, parfaits pour faire le tour de l'île ( il faut se familiariser avec le rétro-pédalage en guise de frein : expérience rigolote!)

Dear Gérard, thanks for everything - the pickup and dropoff, the kayaks and the pushbikes and of course special thanks for your sashimi-sauce :-) we had a wondefull time in borabora. cu, jacky and dave

C'est super! Shhhhhhh....I want to come back. If I tell everyone how great it is there will be no place left for me.....

We had a great time at Gerard's place. The apartment is spacious, super clean and has everything what you might need (incl Gerard offered us bikes for free to get around the island). From our bedroom upstairs we had a nice view over the Bora Bora Lagoon. Gerard picked us up (and dropped us later) from the airport shuttle and gave us a little tour around town with some good recommendations. We highly recommend to stay with Gerard, he is super friendly and his place won't disappoint you. We wish we could have stayed longer. Next time!

Gérard a su s'adapter et nous aider suite à notre visite éclair sur Bora Bora! Logement propre, plein de bonnes surprises rien à dire!

To write a propper review we need to seperate the location we stayed in from the owner. The location: Although we booked the bungalow Gerard asked us upfront if we would mind staying in the shared loft with his son. As we were happy to find a nice place we accepted although we were looking for a private place. The room was very clean and nice, the view from the loft was amazing and the place comes with all the different peaks you can find in the other reviews: Kajaks, Wifi, Bikes, Laundry. From this side the stay on Bora Bora was great. The owner: I don't know if we did something wrong or we just had a bad start but we didn't feel very welcomed by Gerard. When we talked to Gerard or asked questions it never felt good. We were pretty upset as we were his guests and this behaviour pressed down on us. First we thought that this was a language barrier problem but when he drove us back to the airport with other guests not speaking french he was a completly different person. So if you just care about a nice place take the offer. If you also want to feel welcomed by the owner there is a chance that you won't be. We recommend looking for something else.

Overall we had A nice stay, Gerard is very friendly and was helpfull With washing some of our clothes. The bungalow is okay, but i gets pretty hot! And the wifi was A bit unstable, and not really working from inside the bungalow. Otherwise the place is close to the City and A short walk to A decent supermarked.

Gérard est discret, effacé, ou plutôt très occupé comme conducteur des travaux de son "lodge". Le logement, en contreplaqué, doit être ideal pour un lilliputien croisé avec un singe. Le logement est tres exiguë et la chambre à l'étage est accessible avec une échelle à la verticale. La "salle de bain" à l'extérieur (presque plus grande que le "bungalow") offre très peu d'intimité (la cuisine des voisins donne sur la salle de bain). Le lavabo fait cruellement défaut. Gérard a tres gentiment fait le taxi gracieusement à l'aller comme au retour.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very easygoing and totally local style in a remote area with alot of locals surrounded. Very close to the Harbor of Vaitape and walking distance to the town of Vaitape with Shops, Rentalcars, Bank and Supermarket! The host Haunui was extremly friendly and helpfull with all our needs! really never had that in a airbnb befor! respect! such a great warmheart person!

Haunui just started to rent via AirBnB a house on its own property. A lot of his family and the ever common dogs live in this residential dead end road. The fridge is really cool, as was the welcome beer we could enjoy on the sofa on the terrace, which makes it suitable to have breakfast outside. The moskitos are unlikely to fly upstairs, where one of the two double beds for sleeping are. Haunui arranged pickup at the pier and drop off at the subsequent hotel. He further was very helpful with giving advices about the island and helped to arrange things. He is well connected with other islanders.

Nous avons eu des vélos à disposition, ce qui nous a permis d aller visiter et faire les courses qui ne sont pas très loin du logement

Nous vous recommandons vivement cet hôte et sa maison. Nous avons était très bien accueilli et nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez lui. Merci encore pour tout.

Haunui and his family didn't just provide great accommodations, they made my vacation into a dream. Haunui picked me up at the dock straight from the airport. He knows everybody and everything one could know about the island. He offered to help with any adventures i wanted to have on Bora. Fresh mangos and coconuts are in abundance in the front yard. The house was clean, cute, and felt like a home away from home. Located in a neighborhood safe enough to leave doors open day and night. Vaitape is a short walk or bike ride away. Haunui let me borrow his bike throughout my stay so I didnt need to rent one. Nearby Vaitape offers many cafes, restaurants, and endless shopping. I truly cannot wait to get back to this rental.

Logement très propre et en très bon état, propriétaires très aimables et serviables endroit très fleuri et calme, mais ne convient pas aux personnes qui craignent les chiens

Thierry and Sarah went above and beyond. Bungalow is nice and cosy. Really loved our stay. Thanks again for the pasta ;) Highly recommended.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Tres bon acceuil de Thierry qui est venu me chercher a la navette de l'aeroport a vaitape. Bon séjours

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Small private bungalow including bathroom and kitchen in the garden of the house, where the family lives. The host are very welcoming and invite you to take part in their activities.

Beautiful island, wonderful views but the attentions of the host Thierry and his family were amazing, so peaceful so armony and take care of every detail of our trip, 100% recommended.

Depuis notre arrivée et jusqu'à notre départ nos hôtes nous ont parfaitement accompagnés. Nous avons séjourné dans un super endroit propre et confortable avec un jardin magique. Les photos présentées sur air bnb ne sont qu'une trés pâle copie de la réalité. Annette et Marc-André nous ont fait découvrir leur île au travers d'histoires et (URL HIDDEN) locales. Nous recommandons fortement ce fare. Mauruuru roa Annette et Marc-André

It was just great! I really enjoyed my stay at Bora Bungalove, such a lovely place direct at the sea with an amazing room and view! Marc and Annette are so nice, happy and helpful people. Marc picked me up at the airport and brought me also back, we did some little food shopping and he booked all the activities for the next day for me. I absolutely recommend this stay! Could be not better. Thank you both so much :)

Annette and Marc Andre, were the warmest and most hospitable couple who gave us a magical week on Bora Bora. Rather than an isolated high end resort, they were still on the lagoon but also close to true village life and local venues such as the most welcoming Yacht Club (wonderful meals). Both hosts went out of the way to ensure an excellent stay. A day visit to one resort for lunch showed we had made the absolute right choice of accommodation. Our advice: stay with Annette and Marc Andre.

We absolutely loved our stay at the bungalove! The place is adorable, artistically decorated with class and style. The outdoor shower is amazing. We were joyfully greeted by Annette and her fun friend, Illian. Annette is a wonderful host, she is honest, very friendly, and goes above and beyond in providing her guests with everything they need. The ocean view deck is perfect for relaxing, having meals, and watching the sunset - just note the water in front is not the picture perfect, crystal clear blue you see in your mind when you think of Bora Bora. We definitely recommend the boat excursion!! If you are having resort envy, Annette can arrange for you to take a free boat ride to the pearl beach for the day. At Bora Bora Pearl Resort you will have access to the pool, towels, snorkeling, beach chairs, etc. all for the price of lunch.

Super séjour chez Annette et dans son charmant bungalove où il y a tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin! Et super Annette aussi... très accueillante et débordante d'énergie, qui nous a aidés et conseillés tout au long de ce séjour.

Se volete scoprire la vera Bora bora immersi in un paradiso di fiori e letteralmente con I piedi nell'acqua dovete soggiornare da Annette e Marc André. Oltre ad essere simpaticissimi e cordialissimi avrete per tutto il soggiorno, fin dall'arrivo con la navetta dall'aeroporto a quando si deve ahimé ripartire, un valido consiglio e supporto per le attività da fare come per le cose più pratiche, e avrete anche la possibilità di noleggiare una loro auto. Grazie per tutto!

Séjour merveilleux au bungalove dans lequel on se sent comme à la maison, tout en restant une demeure dépaysante et originale. Tout le confort attendu est bien au rendez vous et plus encore, le lit est très confortable, le wifi fonctionne parfaitement, la salle de bain en plein air est très agréable, et que dire du réveil magique sur le lagon de la baie de faanui. Le plus du séjour , et pas des moindre, des hôtes aux petits soins, cuisiniers de talent et connaissant parfaitement l'endroit ou ils vivent et même bien plus. En bref ce séjour restera un souvenir très agréable.

Marc-André and Annette are the most gracious and helpful hosts. We had unforgettable time! The bungalove has a beautiful and secluded garden that is a piece of art in itself. Every night we enjoyed a glass of wine watching the sunset. Grab the snorkel equipment and enjoy under water theater on a coral reef, just outside of their private dock. It's a hidden gem and an exceptional value!

This house was great. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook. Pool was lovely to relax in on a hot afternoon, and Loana was wonderful at helping us to organise activities by phone. We highly recommend doing the hike with Loana - it goes at a slow pace and is very achievable. We learnt so many fascinating things about the island on the way.

El alojamiento es excelente ..asi tambien DANIEL Y LOANA...muchas gracias a ambos!!!

Tout est parfait

We enjoyed our stay at Loana & Daniel's home a lot. The rooms, the fully equipped kitchen, the terrace, the garden and the pool are very clean and charming. The separate guest house offers some privacy. Daniel & Loana are great hosts! They provided us with helpful information, organised a tour for us, went out with us and always tried that we get the most profit of beautiful Bora Bora as possible. The 3-course dinner that Loana prepared was just delicious and definitely worth the price. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend this homely place! We felt very welcome and in good hands.

Un superbe accueil typique polynésien avec des beaux colliers de fleurs confectionnés par Loana. Daniel nous as réservé notre excursion qui était magique. Daniel est très disponible un Super contact. La chambre et la cuisine très bien aménagés et très propres. Le jardin est magnifique. Nous avons louer sa voiture à un tariff plus que raisonnable. Merci encore pour tous ! Nana

Séjour top!!! Daniel nous à montrer un maximum de choses en un minimum de temps car nous sommes restés que 2 nuits. Ils ont été au petits soins et très accueillant avec nous. On y retourneront sans hésiter!!!

This was my first experience using AirBnB and I was so happy to have a very, very good one. Both Daniel and Loana were WONDERFUL. Loana picked me up from the dock at Viatape and greeted me with a nice, homemade lei that I was pleasantly surprised with. From that moment the stay just got better and better. They both had any and all information I needed for any tours, or excursions Bora Bora has to offer which was very helpful, and really did save me some time and money in the long run. If I needed anything, either one of them was there to accommodate me very easily. I had the back house to stay in so it felt very safe, private, and so much like a home away from home. VERY clean, and plenty of amenities if needed. Pots, pans, iron, and all those comforts of his me. I was very happy with my stay and would HIGHLY recommend anyone considering going to Bora Bora, to reserve your stay with them. You will be happy you did!!!! An ash 5 star stay!!!!

Nous avons passé un super séjour (3 nuits) chez Daniel et Loana. La chambre et les espaces communs sont très confortables et très propres. Nous conseillons à 100% les excursions qu'il propose (tour du lagon en bateau et randonnée). Daniel propose de prêter une voiture pour un prix raisonnable. Il nous a fait découvrir plein de choses et nous avons beaucoup ri ! Un grand merci !

Nous avons été très bien accueillis, même gênés par la gentillesse de Marc et Rosalie qui nous ont rendu beaucoup de service! Ils connaissent l'ile parfaitement et vous aideront si besoin, cest dans leur nature! Bora sous un autre angle cest génial!

We stayed (as the first Belgian guests ever) for 9 consecutive nights a the The Black Pearl and consider it as a great alternative to the big hotels at Bora Bora. You can live close to the locals, breath the Bora Bora air, eat the freshest mangos ever and plan your days from sunrise to sunset... just as you want it. The Black Pearl bungalow is extremely wel equipped (kitchen, bathroom, plenty towels, music, tv, canoes, snorkel equipment, books, ...). It has a great deck (covered what is good when you visit Polynesia during rain season), a sun deck ... It all comes with a great view on the motu's and the airport motu (not disturbing at all). You really can enjoy the boats, water scooters and pirogues passing just in front of your home. And if you're lucky (we were), you see not only coloured fishes swimming under your deck, but also stingrays ... But just hire the car ... you will need it, as is a 20 minute drive to the first decent food store at Vaitape from the Black Pearl. Nir, your host, is a great guy with a good sense of humour and 100 % trustworthy. He will take care of you. He gives you a mobile phone at arrival and during your stay you can contact him if you want a reservation, an activity or an answer to any question... It was our first stay at Bora Bora (our third in Polynesia). And we will be back ... Mauruuru (Thank You in Tahitian) Dirk & Anne

The Black Pearl is an amazing place to stay in Bora Bora. I highly recommend it if you don't want to do the resort thing on your trip. Being at this privately owned bungalow allows you to cook your own meals, swim in your lagoon with more privacy and just not get caught up in all the expenses you would incur at the resorts. The Black Pearl has been renovated and upgraded to provided a more luxury experience on your stay. We were able to view a few of the other private bungalows and this far surpasses them all. We will definitely be back again! Thank you, Richard, for sharing your little slice of heaven.

We had a grea

MERVElLLEUSE EXPERIENCE!! Le meilleur moyen pour decouvrir le lagon de Bora!! C'etait ma premiere experience sur un bateau. Ce fut tellement facile avec Ben!! Accueil parfait, quel hote!! Ben est aux petits soins, poli, attentif. Les repas sont inclus avec participation de ce que chacun aime manger, cabine sobre et confortable. Et quel plaisir de nager dans le lagon de Bora : snorkling, partie de volley dans le lagon, navigation... Nous avons passe des soirees sous les etoiles, diners sur le pont a rire et a echanger sur nos vies et nos points de vues. Ben est un super hote! Et une merveilleuse experience! Que de beaux souvenirs!

Perfect place to experience Bora Bora. Relax on the boat or ask Ben if you want to do some fun activities. Ben is a very nice guy and very helpful. I can really recommend this boat if you want to feel how nice and relaxed life can be at Bora Bora. However, remember that this is a boat, this means that your living space is limited. Have fun!

Ben was very responsive to my emails and happy to meet before we launched off for a few days. Once on the boat he was attentive making sure I was okay, had a drink and food. He was respectful of my space, as I spent some time just reading in the cabin. We went food shopping before so we had food I knew I liked and he had his own which he shared and I also liked ~! It is nice to have a warm meal on the sailboat in the middle of the ocean so thank you Ben ! The boat was comfortable, clean, easy to get on and off with the dinghy and with swimming in the most beautiful ocean on the planet. We enjoyed the lagoon of Bora Bora and the location was perfect near the sharks and ray feeding so easy to get to on the dinghy. He had a friend on the boat too who was fun and both were very easy to spend time with on the boat. I especially appreciated Ben’s sailing experience, good hospitality and efforts to speak English with me, so I will return to his Hydragon. Much Aloha ~ Jen

I have only one thing to say - DO IT! This was absolutely amazing and my best experience in French Polynesia - Bora Bora is even more beautiful when enjoying it from the sea, and getting to take it all in with the company of Ben and Marie was a absolute pleasure!

Superbe expérience ! Nous recommandons vivement de séjourner sur le bateau de Ben et même de passer plusieurs jours pour pouvoir profiter (à notre grand regret de n'avoir pu rester qu'une nuit). C'est la meilleure façon de découvrir et d'apprécier le lagon de Bora, ou autres îles, tant pour la vue que pour les activités. L'ambiance est très conviviale et basée sur le partage. Ben est un excellent hôte !

Au top ! Accueil chaleureux, souriant, déconnant, attentionné et merveilleusement humain. J'ai passé de super bons moments avec vous les gars, c'était une belle surprise de tomber sur toi Ben. Le cadre est magnifique et passer quelques jours sur ce bateau est à mon goût la plus belle façon de découvrir Bora. Mon seul regret ne pas être restée quelques jours de plus!! A très vite j'espère !

Ben and Marry are the best host!It was amazing experience in my life.You will see the best view in Tahiti.They are so friendly and they are very good at cooking.I miss the delicious meal very much.It is a best chance to live more relax and nature.

Ben was an excellent host, very kind. Sailing in his boat on Polynesia was a lifetime experience! Cheers bro, see you next time :)

Que dire de ce merveilleux Faré, rien car tout est parfait. L'accueil de Mathias et plus tard de Juliette, était dès plus chaleureux. Vous avez été attentif à tout d'une gentillesse exemplaire. Franchement ça fait plaisir d'avoir passé 3 jours mais 3 jours idylliques en votre compagnie. Encore merci, continuez vous méritez toutes les étoiles qu'il peut exister À très bientôt. Eric

Muy buena ubicación cerca de la Playa Matira y muy cerca del centro la casa está equipada con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días o unas excelentes vacaciones en familia en pareja o solo la tarifa está excelente y los anfitriones son una excelente familia que están a disposición todo el tiempo lo recomiendo a todos volvería otra vez

Ia Orana, nous avons passé 2 nuits dans le logement de Juliette. Nous avons été super bien accueillies, avec un beau check in personnalisé à l'arrivée! La maison de Juliette offre une très belle vue sur la montagne, et tous les équipements sont présents. Rien ne manque!
