The hosts were so kind and accommodating to our family. Our flight schedules changed and they were easily flexible. They made arrangements for a rental car and offered advice about sightseeing. The pension serves visitors of all ages and is welcoming and comfortable.

Sorry that our establishment did not meet your expectations, but unfortunately we were not able to provide you with the same services as in your previous accommodation which was none other than the 5-star Te Moana hotel, we are not at the same prices, our services are necessarily more different and more reduced. Thank you for your understanding.désolé que notre établissement n'ai pas convenu a vos attentes, mais nous n'avons hélas pu vous apporter les même prestations qu'a votre logement précédent qui n’était autre que l'hotel 5 étoiles Te Moana, nous ne sommes pas aux mêmes tarifs, nos prestations sont forcements plus différentes et plus réduites. Merci de votre compréhension.

This is a hostel and not a hotel.....I saved money for a one night stay. Room was clean, Late check-in was good. I booked a room with two beds, but only got one. Not a concern. If you expect a hostel, you will not be dissapointed. If you expect a hotel, this is not the property for you. Location is near great snorkel spot. Owners were excellent and very friendly.

Lovely hosts/owners, so friendly, we had a good laugh with them. Shared kitchen is so clean and very handy. The bathrooms are a bit old, although the outside one is soon to be replaced so hopefully the inside one will next. All very clean though. The room was a good size, mattresses pretty comfy and fly screens on the windows was great to let some air in. Less than 5mins to Mahina park/beach (good for sunset happy hour drinks) and about 10mins to the better beach a little further north. Breakfast was baguette, fresh fruit and tea/coffee. You can also do laundry for 1000pf for a load. Compared to the price of other places in Tahiti this was good value.

Good budget option near great public beaches
This is basic, serviceable accomodation at a basic price. Our double room was comfortable, with a shared bathroom right next door and a comfy common lounge area also. The shared kitchen had plenty of equipment and a bit of food odds and ends in case of need, and a generous-sized fridge for guests to share. A grocery store is just around the corner in one direction (500m) with a larger market a bit further the other direction. The first beach is even closer, with very good snorkelling and it's as good or better a kilometre away, complete with a few French/English interpretation signs on the reef - underwater! The Pensione had a bit of basic snorkelling gear on hand - just enough to be useful for us, as Qantas had lost our baggage en route. Good local restaurants, continental breakfast and friendly hosts complete the package. There was the usual island-noise from dogs and roosters at all hours, but earplugs sort that.

Staying at the Pension Te Miti was an amazing experience. I was traveling alone and the hosts, Kristen and Fred, were extremely helpful accommodating me. The breakfast of fresh coffee, baguette, and fresh fruit was amazing! It’s a quick 10 minute walk to the beach where there is some excellent snorkeling and swimming. There are some loaner snorkeling equipment at the pension that you can borrow as well. Fred even lent me a surf board to go surfing! They were so nice and generous! The room I stayed in was excellent. Really comfortable and cool. All the amenities worked there. Great showers and clean restrooms. I met some amazing people there as well. Great connections and friends that explored Tahiti with me and gave me rides around the island. People I will remember forever. That is the best part of staying at Pension Te Miti; the people you will meet while you are there. So whether you are in a dormitory or a private room, you are going to have a wonderful time and enjoy your stay in Tahiti. Merci!

We had an incredible time at Pension Te Miti. The hosts were very friendly and helpful with arranging our scooter rental. They had lots of tips about the island and we only regret we couldn’t stay longer. The nearby beach is easily accessible and has some of the best snorkeling I’ve seen just meters off shore. One note that is not specific to Pension Te Miti but rather to Tahiti as a whole- we recommend that travelers pack earplugs as the roosters start crowing very early every morning!

My stay was very pleasant the owners and other guests were friendly and accommodating. That were able to call and book various island excursions for me. I recommend renting a scooter or car if you intend to stay here. The nearest beach is about 1km (0.6 miles). There is also a small restaurant and cafe within walking distance, but not much else.

Frederick and Crystal made everyone feel at home the minute they landed which could have been at any time of the morning day or night.I landed myself at 7 in the morning and the first thing Frederick said was.....would you like some breakfast? and through out my stay they were very customer orientated.The pension itself was well located-5 minutes walk to the beach and to the ATM and shop.The breadfruit and mango trees really gave the pension a tropical feel with plenty of places to chill out with plenty of bird life.The kitchen had all you could want and breakfast was adequate.The use of the snorkeling gear was a god send as i traveled light and would have missed out on all those fish.The place was spotless and homely and the wi-fi was good.There was a nice mix of friendly guests there when i stayed.So thank you very much Frederick and crystal for making my once in a life time stay at your pension a nice one.

Great stay at Te Miti
Great stays at Te Miti (we stayed there twice), starting with a friendly welcome, clean rooms and facilities and nice continental breakfasts. The area is not central Papeete, but close to beaches and a good place to start a drive around the island of Tahiti. No AC in the rooms, but the fans in the rooms ensure a good night in most cases. For those of you that run in the morning, good uphill run in the valley and you can also run a few miles on the beach!

A good place to meet fellow travelers.
We had a very good stay here. Fred was helpful answering questions and helping to book tours and a rental car. The room was comfy and had fans. Our area had a communal kitchen and two bathrooms. The included breakfast consisted of baguettes, jam, peanut butter, nutella, juice, fruits, cereal, coffee, and tea. It was good to talk to other travelers at breakfast, and later in the communal areas. We made friends and even rented a car together. Mahana park with its good snorkeling beach is around 5 minutes away as is a small store across from it. There is another beach about 5 minutes further down the road, and more shopping markets about 10 minutes in the other direction from the pension. For a sandy beach Papara with its black sand, river, nice views, and a small good restaurant with very good prices for Tahiti is my pick. My daughter loved the coconut ice cream and allowing the river current to give her a ride to the ocean. In conclusion, Pension Te Miti is well situated if you want to stay away from bustling Papeete. It is close to 2 beaches, and some small food markets. A rental car is recommended to travel the island (Papara, and Tahiti iti have nice spots), or be adventurous and try the bus (we did both). If looking for nightlife, stay in town.

Lovely hosts but extremely basic accomodation
The hosts are extremely nice & friendly people, but the room was really disappointing. The bed was uncomfortable and the indoor shower was broken and the sink also blocked. The outdoor shower had no lock and the door was waist height, so I didn't feel comfortable using it without a bed sheet draped across it.

Overnight layover
We only stayed here for 6 hours overnight- got in late the night before and hopped on our domestic flight to Bora Bora early in the morning so can't expand much on the above. But we were picked up from the airport as promised, had a comfortable place to sleep and then back to the airport in the morning!

Nice place, people are the friendliest I ever encountered. Every one greets you with a smile. Our live in roomies were respectful and friendly. Traffic rules are to be learned because it appears at first hat they do not exist. Night driving may be best to avoid. You meet people at breakfast that been around the world and are on their second trip. Helps if you speak French but you can manage without. You soon will be learning to speak Tahitian.

Why spend $200+ on your hotel stay in Tahiti when you can stay here for a fraction of the cost? The family that runs this Pension is very friendly. It feels more like a B&B than a hostel. A very nice beach is only a 20 minute walk.
