Spent an amazing few nights at Faofao fales. The fale is right on the beach and a great place to relax. The family that run these fales are very friendly and beautiful hosts. The meals were so tasty and enjoyed lovely cocktails on the eating area veranda looking out over the ocean. Will definitely return here. The mosquito nets were intact, the mattresses comfortable and the shared bathroom facilities were well kept and cleaned. The location is close to To Sua trench and lolmanu beach however the Faofao beach is so beautiful i was happy to spend time there. Cant wait to return!
5.0 / 5.0
Good fales, wake up to gorgeous beach, swim or good snorkeling, then a nice breakfast. Lovely family runs it, who provide great & friendly service - even a band one night. Bar & restaurant right on the water, looking out to the ocean and along the beach. Highly recommend! 👌

Absolutely beautiful beach!, Family is extremely friendly and the food was amazing! Rustic accommodation but great value for the money
5.0 / 5.0
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.

Loved the experience of being in a basic fale right on the beach in a glorious setting
5.0 / 5.0
Friendly helpful staff. We stayed in the accommodation block. Beachfront fales were another cheaper option. Not luxurious but in keeping with its charging. It has a large communal dining room where it was easy to chat with other guests. Good basic breakfast and dinner were included with our Expedia booking.
5.0 / 5.0
STUNNING. Real authentic Fale stay with an awesome Samoan family. This is not the place to stay if you like resorts. But if you like sleeping three steps away from the most beautiful beach in the world, and eating yum authentic food, this is the place for you
3.0 / 5.0
I stayed in one of the air conditioned rooms. While I understand that staying in a local accomodation I cannot expect luxury, I thought for the price I paid the accomodation was really really basic. No bath towel or soap in the bathroom. A single sheet on the bed. The bathroom did not seem clean. And multiple cockroaches in my room. I ended up leaving a day
early because I felt so uncomfortable here. I heard from other guests that they liked the fales so perhaps those are the better option here. I have photos of the room and cockroach but don’t have an option to upload these.

An amazing spot and the Fale’s are awesome! Foods good and staff really make you feel welcome! Toilet/shower areas basic and not the cleanest. If you can rough it a bit - highly recommended place to stay!
0.5 / 5.0
Location wonderful but booked three 'fales' but there was only two availble despite having oaid for "three rooms" via Hotels.com. Tried to squeeze me into one of the fales witj my adult son. Eventually gave me a room away from the beach which was terrible. Filthy dirty bathroom, no soap, no towels, etc

4.0 / 5.0
Staying in a fale overlooking the beach and ocean is an incredible experience I will never forget. Falling asleep to the waves crashing and star lit night sky was perfect. Mosquito net provided for the real deal. Takes 2-3 hours from the airport. Simple dinner and breakfast. Staff very warm and welcoming. Would recommend if you are after a simple but memorable experience
5.0 / 5.0
A lovely place run by lovely people. Breakfast and dinner were yummy and good portions! Can snorkel in the beach infront. Yes it is basic but it has a real charm, highly recommend.
1.0 / 5.0
Suffice it to say that we left after two hours to go to a real resort nearby, which they suggested as an alternative (😉) and which luckily had a room for us. Of course, since we checked in we lost the right to ask for at least a partial refund. They have many wonderful reviews and decent pictures so we thought the place must be basic but charming. Big mistake, it's simply a scam which doesn't help Samoa's image or economy. Luckily we ended up in a great resort a short drive away (Aga Reef Resort) where we stayed wonderfully and had the vacation we where looking for.
5.0 / 5.0
loved that it was very private. we were the only guests on the night we stayed over which was great.
owner very friendly and had our dinner served to us on the night, enjoyed the breakfast prepared for us the next morning.
will definitely book again with Faofao
3.0 / 5.0
There was confusion amongst the staff upon check-in as to what meals would be included in the half-board that was included in the reservation. The breakfast was very nice, the facility basic but clean and quiet. Very relaxing to wake up next to the sea.
1.0 / 5.0
This property is not operating as advertised. Do not book here! It's in a dreadful state and the restaurant is closed.
5.0 / 5.0
Highly recommend staying here for a simple, relaxing holiday.
Nice fale with traditional woven blinds on a beautiful beach. Friendly host, although sad to note some rubbish visible on the beach.
Very good family-style breakfast and dinner, self-serve buffet with changing selections each day. (Note: I did not request it, but did not seem to have vegetarian/other dietary options.)
Simple facilities, has everything you need for a relaxing stay, but nothing fancy.
For those who haven’t stayed in a fale before, I’d let you know that the waves crashing at the beach were quite loud, which is of course expected in this type of accommodation, but would recommend light sleepers get a closed room rather than beach fale.
1.0 / 5.0
Beautiful situation but the bathroom facilities here were absolutely disgusting - broken and dirty . On top of which they were having construction work done around the bathrooms so there was no privacy
Booked and paid for 4 nights but left after one
4.0 / 5.0
Air conditioning in our unit was very much appreciated. We loved the geckos that inhabited our balcony light area.
Really enjoyed meeting people at the communal breakfast and at dinner.
4.0 / 5.0
Nice place. Fale was clean and safe considering that we had a strong rain and as the weather wasn't so good, we could hear the strong sound of the waves. But felt very safe inside the Fale.
Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there.
The bathroom could be much better as everything seems a bit left behind. Curtains for the girls' bathroom made me feel like I couldn't get my underwear off as the bathroom can be seen from the street.
The floor is poor and could be fixed.
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing family so welcoming. Fales are so comfortable and right on the beach. 10/10 would stay again
4.0 / 5.0
I loved the location of the faleo’os right on the beach. Meals were wholesome and delicious. My only complaint is that we came in late and the resold two of our five prepaid fales. They did set us up in a room in the motel with floor beds because of that but the faleo’os were our preferred option.

Amazing stay far from all sources of stress
5.0 / 5.0
This is a great beach spot with comfortable fales, friendly smiling staff, and the beach/ocean right on your doorstep.
It’s as it says, we are travelling friends enjoyed staying two nights, perhaps if you didn’t have transport it would be tricky getting around on a Sunday. If you stayed here a while you may miss western small comforts.
The shower is under the stars - it is not heated but you don’t notice because it’s so warm!
5.0 / 5.0
Faofao felt like home away from home. I spent only two nights but wish I could have stayed longer, had my trip allowed for it. The staff, the guests, everyone was great, friendly, family-like atmosphere. You also get brekky and dinner buffet, different options on different days. Sitting down at the beach bar felt relaxing and with the amazing views, you really wished you could stay at Faofao for a month at minimum. I stayed in one of the beach fales, it was basic but that's why I booked it. It felt great falling asleep to and waking up to the sound of the waves. Can't recommend this place any more. It is owned by a lovely family who really do take care of you. They also do fiafia night on Saturdays. Do yourself a favour and just head to this little paradise in Samoa when you get to the south side of the island. To-Sua ocean trench is only a 10min drive down the road and likewise for Lalomanu beach and Namua island. Can't beat this place! Hoping to be back one day. To all of you at Faofao, thank you so much for being so nice! Bless!

Absolutely loved my stay here!! The family who run this beach fale are lovely people who went above and beyond to give me a great experience. The beach is stunning and the food was great! I highly recommend staying at this amazing location :)
4.0 / 5.0
These beach fales are the most secluded and magical ones we stayed in during our trip to Samoa. Perched in a tree hut directly on the beach you can wake to watch the sunrise and have a refreshing dip whenever you like. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it.
3.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed the beach and the food at Faofao. However it could have been much better. We booked a Fale (little wooden room on the beach) but we had to sleep in a normal room and when we asked why, we didn't get a real explanation. The general cleanliness was bad, terrible in the room.
