This place had terrible reviews so my expectations were low but I chose it for the price and the location. The owners are Chinese and speak minimal English so I had to communicate through the cleaning staff who, of course, were not able to deal with all my concerns. People were friendly but that didn't solve problems which varied from no toilet paper in the shared bathroom from 9pm till 8am, that my room wasn't cleaned before I checked in at 2pm, that the fridge in the shared "kitchen" didn't work, that there was no wifi. The shower/sink room absolutely stank although the rest of the place was clean. You must pay for the room in cash (I was out of local currency but they accepted US dollars). It's such a cheap, run down place that I met no other tourists, only locals and people in Vanuatu to work for short periods (so that made it interesting).

Location was great--just up the hill from the beach and a short walk into town. It was also just up the hill from Moorings Hotel where I had stayed earlier with a tour group so I knew I could hang out there and use their wifi because Room with a View had zero wifi.

Presented as "guest house" in booking page but just business of chinese owner for maximum money. Works same a youth hotel or hotel. No soul, no owner , no atmosphere. Just old house rebuilt to have more rooms (even on the first floor terrace). Many cockroaches to say welcome.

They have place for the same day I try to book. View doesn't exist from my room window. No food cooked or for sale.

Price was there, 2 price given so I chose the expensive one but later put to a very small room, no aircon n icebox

Stayed in May 2023

All 3 rooms we booked were actually pretty filthy. Mould growing on walls. Mould inside pillows! At least one room was crawling with ants - when reported was told 'oh, I'll have to go and get some ant killer', but they didnt. Ended up buying our own to deal to it!

I found a bed bug creeping on my sheet on day one. When I crushed it, it was full of my blood!... in the morning of day two, I found another one. I also found cockroach egg in my bed and on the floor. That wasn't very inviting. The bathroom was too small and poorly maintained. I mentioned the above to the Chinese receptionist who seemed very surprised. Whether they will do what it takes, to fumigate the mattress, remains to be seen. Bed bugs are a serious problem andf can be exported elsewhere in your own bag...

The room was spacious, the double bed was good, the kitchenette and the fridge were convenient, it was a quiet place, not far from supermarket 'Au Bon Marché Downtown' and near a Thaï restaurant...

It was pretty grim besides the staff being pleasant. When we arrived in our room there were about 15 huge cockroaches all around the room and flying in from outside to the point that we changed rooms. Our new room did not have a bathroom (had to use very rudimentary shared bathroom) but at least had no cockroaches. This room was fine but it was incredibly tiny (could not open a suitcase). Also the hotel is quite loud and the curtain didn’t block light at all so woke up super early. We paid about $55 AUD for one night while we were waiting for our main accommodation so we were not expecting much but honestly with what we experienced I couldn’t even say it’s value for money. You can get so much better in Port Vila for a fraction more.

The staff were all very nice and helpful. When we asked to have our room changed they very quickly obliged and arranged for a new room in 5 min.

Stayed in January 2024

It was very very dirty, there were bugs, no hot water, had a bad smell, sheet had what appeared to be a dark blood stain on it, there was constant noise throughout the accommodation, people were coming and going 24 hours a day. I would never recommend this place to anybody. We left early. This stay really dampened our visit to Vanuatu, we will review places better because of this experience. Avoid this place at all costs.

Location only. I wish I had something nice to say about this place other than location but I don’t. The place needs a lot of work to even be habitable.

It was really quite and I like it

ON a comparable price level it was poor. It's how it was advertised versus what I got in reality that really annoyed me. I have stayed in much better hostels. The rooms had wafer thin walls and only a central light so either bright or nothing. I felt I was sleeping with the snoring man in my neighbouring room. The main external sign illuminated outside my room window (though part of it wasn't working) and the noise from traffic, music from the waterfront venues and what seemed like a taxi/bus stop outside the hotel was very loud an if I'd shut my windows I'd have had no air as the room was very stuffy which meant not smelling great. There was a plug in fan but the room was hotter than anywhere else. The kitchen wasn't an option for use given the lack of facilities and the pots were not clean to cook. The shower was OK but also a bit of a smell due to the open bin for non flushable waste. It is a shame as the venue has potential to be good with some simple honest information and a bit of basic work

Accommodation located in a great spot with a seaview just on the edge of the main town, Port Vila. Handy for vars, restaurants, access to the water and shops and not far from the airport. It's just up a hill so helps with the views. Staff members were friendly. Room felt secure.

Very dirty, found a few bed bugs, there was mould in the bathroom. All the shared areas shown in photos with ‘views’ have been filled in with rooms. Not a lot of privacy with windows onto the walkway, noisy at night.

Wi-fi worked, hot water worked, walking distance to the centre of Vila.

In room 6 that I move to is great. I like it, but the thing is, the kitchen sink is no good need to fix it

Really like the accommodation, view, location

It was incredibly loud all the time during the day, evening, or at night, I got woken up to very loud music playing at 3am. My door didn't lock properly, and I woke up to some random standing in my room. Not a fun experience, they moved me to a different room, but definitely didn't feel comfortable after that, if I had been staying in Vila longer than the night I probably would have gone to a different hotel.

It was in a good spot, and the room was nice enough. It had basic facilities.

Stayed in July 2023

We would have liked more than one bathroom for all the rooms to share and no teaspoons were available with the cups.

We were there for a few hours to sleep and left early the next morning, but the overall stay was good. We arrived after 6pm, and left again early the next morning 4:30am :-) a short stay

Stayed in March 2023

Where do I start, I was meant to be here for 6 nights I checked out after 2 nights, the Aircon and fridge didn't work, the room was infested with cockroaches and other bugs, no coffee provided , I spend most of my working week in motels and I've never seen anything as bad as this, well over priced, run down, people coming and going all hours of the day and night DO NOT BOOK THIS ACCOMODATION

The staff were friendly
