10/10 Exceptional

Best food in Tonga. Staff were super friendly. Convenient location.
John, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept everything cool. It is only a 10minute walk to the centre where there are bars and restaurants. There was a fridge in the room but no tv. Shower room was fine. Breakfast is limited with a small amount of fruit cereal and toast. Staff are friendly and helpful and can arrange island tours. Hotel prices are high in Tonga compared to nearby Fiji and Samoa and of a lower standard. It is a decent enough hotel but like other accommodation in Tonga not very good value for money

They miss emails throughout Expedia to book transfers. I stayed four nights and the bedroom was not cleaned, so not sure how often they do it. Otherwise good for the average price in the area. Huge bedroom. Amazing people working there.

First time in Tonga

Lovely and helpful staff. 💖 Clean sheets, working AC and fridge upon arrival. Shower is sun heated and was actually hot even in the morning. Walking distance (5min) to town. The only backlash was that the TV was broken, but who need one when in Tonga. 😁 Since we arrived after 5 PM, (between closing and arrival of night wathman) would it have been nice to know the room number in advanced. P.S. Practical to buy a Tongan SIM-sim at the airport after arrival

Hahano, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice large rooms, all functional. A low-key and general pleasant family-style atmosphere. Great kitchen. Feeling at home
Rémi, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great welcoming staff. Car hire just down the road too. Good aircon and large rooms. Security during the night - very safe. Would definitely stay here again.
Brendon, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The place was clean and had reasonable breakfast. The bed was too soft for us. Didn't sleep well. We were given a room right opposite the restaurant which was annoying. It was very noisy there. Always in the evening sometime sat tight outside the restaurant (which was right outside of our room) and watching some videos online. As there are no windows you can close, we could hear it all right into our room. The same in the morning - they started to playing jazz at the reception area from before 7am really loud which woke us up. This music would not stop for hours. For the price you pay, we can't really complain about the lack of facilities. But location of our room was unlucky. Perhaps we would have better stay in one of the rooms at the back.

It is located in the walking distance to the city and shops
VICTOR, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

SImon's Place is two blocks away from the coast, within easy walk of the heart of the shopping area. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. A small hotel rather than a towering complex and rooms have a courtyard complete with clothesline
Paige, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy check in after reception desk hours. Great spacious place to stay. Very clean and staff very understanding when we requested to cut short our stay due to personal reasons. Definitely recommend.

The staff are very nice and friendly. The place is clean. Free breakfast, which i love the la'i keke vai (island panckae), fresh organic pawpaw and watermelon.
Soane, 3-night trip

I love my stay at Simon's Place just that cannot rest properly with dogs fighting . Breakfast was excellent . Just a suggestion maybe put bath mats in the shower area as I was scared that I will slip and fall . But overall my stay was good .

Thanks to the kind staff for their help.
Monalisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and spacious rooms, good hot water, great price, and good internet that worked most of the time, which many places do not have. The staff were kind and made a late check in (and check out) simple and easy. The one downside is going to town for dinner is a bit of a walk and sometimes have dogs on the street that get territorial, so recommend having a car even though it's not far.
