I really enjoyed my stay at the Samoan Outrigger. The room was clean, spacious and the bathroom was too. The only negative was the very noisy music coming from the gym in the early morning and evening, so incredibly loud

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.

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.

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.
