Restaurant food was okay, could have been better.

The pool was green when we arrived but was cleaned a few days later. The pool area could use a spruce up to be made more inviting for spending time there. The food is expensive for what it is, more like home cooking than restaurant quality, but its restaurant prices. If it was cheaper than the food in the cafes/restaurants then it would be awesome. Also if they improved their cocktail making skills and had a happy hour every night by the pool, that would be really cool!

The staff at Maravu are very warm and friendly. The rooms are awesome and the location is just a few hundred metres from a lovely beach and some cafes. Highly recommend joining Carli for a Kava ceremony and some songs! WiFi is good.

We'd love to stay more :)

The overall experience was amazing, each one made us feel home. We extended our stay because of how great the experience was. We stayed in the villa which has an outstanding view. You can book a ton of activities at the reception. And it's a family owned place which makes you feel you are part of the family. Thank you everyone for this :)

Facilities. Stayed in dorm and awful bathroom situation. Bathroom seems to be in an abandoned shed, really unpleasant to use. Intermittent hot water- solar though. Not as pictures show. Toilet is in restaurant- one toilet! Not ideal for 12 dorm spaces. Often unorganised, dates not shown for trips until day before, taxi to airport organised by them was late. Staff were generally pleasant but sometimes seemed reluctant to help. Not always a veggie option for dinner. Not the best atmosphere- no music, staff weren’t happy to be there, seemed a bit lacking of something, can’t put finger on what.

Good location. Did lots of trips, slightly unorganised but well advertised. Lots to do on the island. Quite a sociable place with other guests, layout makes it easy to chat.

Location. Friendly and welcoming staff! Ease of check-in/check-out. Ample open space around the property to just relax and soak in the sun. In-house activities for recreation e.g volleyball, table tennis, mini library was a great mix to other activities around the island that the lodge organizes. Kava nights with the staff steal the show! Must do! Great options for food at the in-house resto. Loved the offerings during Curry Night! Stayed for a week and it was sad to leave Taveuni. Beautiful island, amazing property and staff that became family :)

The place is very run down, has great potential but needs a lot of work. Outdoor shower very very basic, hot water very hit and miss most of the time a miss. Bathroom sink badly cracked and no plug. Rotten floor boards on the verandah. Power goes off 10:30am till 4pm each day. With power going off each day fridge useless, smelt like it hadn't been used in quite a while. Had to hire snorkelling gear.

Great gardens. Meals were basic but okay. Stayed in a Garden Bure which consisted of two rooms plus the bathroom, 1 king bed & 1 double. Tea/coffee facilities though only 1 cup. Small fridge

Stayed in July 2023

The rooms are big, but basic. No kettle, no fridge. Every drink or food has to be purchased.

The Lodge is in a quiet garden setting with tall trees and coconut palms

Stayed in July 2023

No much activity programmed/ entertainment , especially for the raining days .

The property is on a beautiful hill surrounded from a curated park . Walk distance from the beach , diving shop and two bar and restaurant ! The Diva’s restaurant at the resort was our favourite place where to eat !

More a criticism to the owners than the staff, as the staff seem to be doing their best with the minimum resources given. We did not see a hotel manager, which impacts the quality of the services. It's regarded as a resort but with resources way lower than anything in that range but a fairly high price. Our room with 2 double beds came only with 2 bars of soap and bed sheets. Not enough towels, tea set only for superior rooms, no fridge, no complimentary water bottles, no blanket, or anything else you can imagine. Beds were covered with ants, same as other places, old stained sheets, and old towels. Pool area so unloved that guests don't even care to use. Overall, the owners seem not to be in this line of business. I do feel for the staff.

The hotel has the benefit of the location, garden and vicinity to the sea and restaurants. Very friendly staff.

The room I stayed didn't even had a glass or cup to drink something, no tea ,coffe or got water jug . At least should have these basic things included for the amount we pay.. even a small motel provide those service. Thanks

Very friendly place and and beautiful location

Nothing really.

Set on a hillside with green gardens overlooking the reef and ocean. Gardens well maintained by Tom who does a free garden and fruit picking tour. Friendly staff will help and guide you to make the most out of your stay by organising trips or helping you do your own with local buses. Spacious room with a good hot water supply for the shower once you worked out the best settings. Kava nights for those who want them or want to learn more about kava protocol when entering villages. Rafa and Kali lead trips to places like Lavena coastal walk, Vuna blowhole and Bouma waterfalls as well as demonstrate weaving. Had some really interesting discussions with both of them about Fijian and village life. Menu changes each night with well priced dishes. Lovu feast can be organised which will show and explain the process and foods used. Water is OK to drink from the tap.

the rooms with no ocean view are not as good value, as not just the lack of a deck with view to hang out on but they also have no tea/coffee facilities, no toiletries etc. they do provide a comfortable and clean place to sleep but nothing more. also note that the hostel itself only has tea/coffee and food purchase at set times of the day, no snacks or amenities available otherwise.

the staff and everyone around the hostel really are friendly and lovely, there is a friendly, simple, family sort of feel to the place. The top rooms with ocean views at the front of the property are really good value for money for the location. the location is also good as it is across the road from a nice beach cafe and bars to spend days/evenings in.

Beautiful island. Thanks to Kali and Marie for the great stay I felt very comfortable.

I had rats in my vila so first night I could not sleep it was difficult to resolve the issue during the night because everyone from reception was gone. After first sleepless night they gave me another vila to stay in (luckily). It was not very pleasant.

Vila was great, location was perfect next to the beach and two good restaurants. Resort offered great breakfast and dinner. Staff was lovely very welcoming and helpful.

I really don't like the condition of rooms... Really need a good upgrade...I booked for 5 nights, ended up checking out my 4th night there .. No electrical appliances at least a TV and electric kettle with tea & coffee supplies.... Raining most days during my stay without even a cup of cuppa to keep you warm..

Great location,...closed to airstrips & supermarkets

Stayed in June 2023

Food in the restaurant found to be too salty and oily lucking greens therefore went down to Divers Cafe for most of the meals.

Not sure about dorm as we we’re staying in the deluxe garden bure with 2 room/beds. King bed found to be too firm for my liking, double was comfortable enough. Very basic amenities, bring your shampoo, conditioner and hairdryer. Since the generator runs only 17:00? To 10:00 , bathroom is dark at the day time, no light is coming there… WiFi is really slow if any even in the lobby. Very friendly people working at the property.

Stayed in April 2023

The Aircon was not working well in our room, maybe because they were using the generator because of the power cut that the island is facing for a long period of time.

Everything about Maravu Lodge was beyond expectation. The location is perfect, the staffs are amazing, the view is spectacular, its also close to Bouma waterfalls. An amazing experience I had with my friends and I'm defiantly coming back.

This review has been hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

We were quite disappointed with it overall as this place is not cheap and we wished we'd spent the money at a homstay instead. There were a number of things, it was quite run-down, the electricity goes off from 11-4pm, including the WiFi, the outside shower didn't work, it said it included toiletries and a kettle which it didn't and we had rats in the room

The staff were very friendly and the location was lovely.

The pool could be cleaner

Livonia was at reception desk and was able to organise the keys to the room despite our early arrival. Since I had my elderly parents in tow with me Lovina helped with luggage and breakfast. Since I wanted to go to Boeuma waterfall she organised a cab and filled us with details about activities we could do and costs associated with it. She with resort staff looked after mum and dad while I went to the waterfall with my daughter. Our Bure had a king bed and a double bed which was very comfortable. The room was clean and very neat. Thought the generator supplied electric from certain time we did not feel it. I was on throughout the night. Security was present on site also.

The photos on the internet are not recent or they have nice filters on them. The resort is very dated. The bathrooms are not overly nice. The pool doesn't look very inviting.

It was quiet and the front bures have amazing views. The breakfast options were good, but it should be noted that the restaurant is a seperate business from the hotel and so you pay seperately. It is within walking distance to some nice restaurants, dive centre and swimming beach. The staff will help organise transport for you

Could improve on making sure the shared bathroom is clean and improve on the food menu and quality.

It's location, safe, friendly staff and budget-friendly. It also has good wifi connectivity.

Reception was open and check in was easy. The receptionist helped me book some dives and suggested some local activities.
