Such a nice & historic house - really loved it

Nice stay

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful location with lovely hosts. They were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was very good as well. If you want to truly experience Samoa this is the way to do it instead of staying in a resort. I wish I could’ve stayed there for longer. It’s definitely somewhere I plan on going back to.

4 seniors stayed in motel rooms. While we expected basic accommodation a few small upgrades would improve things a lot. Staff were lovely and very friendly. The beach is idyllic, perfect for snorkeling

We loved our fale with traditional collapsible panels rather than ugly tarp. The fale was right on the beach, simply stunning! Our host was lovely and helpful. A great place to stay with awesome snorkeling.

10/10 Exceptional

Our host greeted us upon arrival and took us to our freshly made up fale. The bed was spacious and I was amazed how warm it was, as the night we stayed it was bucketing down. We can't get over how delicious the food for dinnner and breakfast was. This was our favourite place to stay and we can't wait to come back.

Right on the beach!

Great stay on the beach. Stayed in a fales, right on the beach…the surf may have been a bit noisy, but the view was incredible. Fales are very basic accommodations, a mattress, sheets and mosquito net. I think they have a/c units, but not on the beach. Breakfast was included and good.

It was very simple in my fake I had only bed, but it was one of a kind experience! So close to the ocean, the beach was beautiful! Breakfast were included, there was really good and there was enough food for everyone. Staff was really kind and helpful

The beachfront location is spectacular. Sleeping in traditional fales was comfortable and a unique cultural experience. Breakfasts and dinners were tasty and plentiful. Best of all were the friendly, kind and helpful women of both management and staff. We had a thorougally enjoyable stay!

Owner/staff included visitors in a family celebration; they were so kind and generous. The beach setting is absolute paradise and it is central to so many of the sights. Also a small shop for snacks a 2-min walk away.
Karen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautifully situated fales on the beach to enjoy a slice of paradise. Well presented fales. Staff really tried to make stay enjoyable. What let property down was the condition of the shared shower/toilet facilities. Enjoyed a lovely home cooked breakfast and could pay for dinner albeit a bit pricey.

Exellent location right on beach. Basic but beautiful fale, good food.

Faofao fales were beautiful and right on the beach! Our included breakfast was delicious and the supper buffet always impressed. The staff were lovely and we particularly enjoyed the show on Saturday night. A true authentic and welcoming experience staying at a family run business. Highly recommend!

I did not stay at this property. I paid for accommodation insurance and Expedia tried to get a refund but Faofao refused. I will not recommend Faofao to anyone I know travelling to Samoa in the future.

Beautiful rustic palm fales with ocean beach views

Location, location, location

Faofao is a wonderful family run accommodation located in Lepa, beautiful swimming beach and lovely hosts. The only thing I would suggest would be a change of pillows and mattresses soon as they were a bit musty. Location though cant be beaten if you like the sound of the waves and you're walking on the sand when you step out of the fale.

Tina & [Siuna ] & family looked after us exceptionally well with beautiful home cooked breakfast & dinners , convivial bar & dining area over the lovely sandy beach - enjoyed sharing the experience with fellow travellers- our most relaxing stay in Samoa & a good base to visit Namua Island, waterfalls & To Sua Ocean Trench.
Ros, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spent 4 peaceful and relaxing nights in a fale, nice to sleep right on the beach, hearing nothing but the sea. Breakfast included (pancakes, toast, fruit, sausages) was plentiful and tasty, filled us up for the day. The fale was comfortable and just about big enough for 2 people and our luggage. Mosquito net provided was a little hole-y but it did the job. Excellent snorkeling out on the reef which is easily accessible. Dinner and drinks at the bar were great, with friendly service. Facilities were exactly as described, basic but suitable.
