Set in Bora Bora and with Mount Otemanu reachable within 13 km, ALAROOTS BORA BORA CAMP offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a private beach area. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

At the hostel all rooms come with a shared bathroom and bed linen.

Amazing place, the nature is absolutely stunning out there and Tapu is a great host. You need to have the right attitude because life on the motu is simple, don't expect luxury. But if you have, you will have a really great experience, and there is probably no better price/performance-ratio in Bora.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, walkable distance to Matira beach, shops and restaurants. Resort grounds are well kept by staff, beach is small but very nice - amazing snorkelling just off the beach! Rooms are cleaned well, cleaning and upkeep staff are attentive.

    Great location, in the most beautiful part of the island. The owner is very nice and helpful. She helped us with transport from the marina by taxi and with renting a car. If we ever visit again we would love to stay here again.

    I stayed in a beautiful over lagoon room with a plunge pool and would definitely stay in a similar type of accommodation! I only had breakfast, but that was first class. Check out was very smooth and I know they were flexible with departure time if your flight was delayed. The location was safe including wandering off to the gym at night even though there was a buggy available to take you anywhere else on the property if you preferred. I had a lovely stay including their help organising two tours which went smoothly.

    When I arrived, I had just taken three flights from America to Bora Bora. From the moment I arrived at the Raihei hostel, I was taken care of, made to feel comfortable, great communication and support, a lovely family.

    The Village Temanuata is in a great location at Matira, with access to its own clean and tidy beach and near the public beach. It was a quiet and relaxing place to be especially with a veranda out of the wind. It was close to the restaurants and food shops. We had a small kitchen which was useful. The staff were all very friendly Compared to other hotels, this was a much cheaper option so we weren’t expecting luxury

    The family you stay with are very kind and welcoming. As a solo traveler it really made my trip and made me feel at home. There is somewhere you can go in the evening opposite and it’s a 20minute walk to all the amenities you could need. Hostel is clean and safe!
