We can thoroughly recommend Fare Suisse and have already booked again for next year. Fare Suisse is the complete package: Swiss efficiency and organisation, French Polynesian friendliness, and a great location just up from the boardwalk to town, buses round the island, and a supermarket stacked with French bread, cheese, and wine. The rooms are absolutely immaculate and the outside... More

As many round-the-world travellers I was looking for a well located, not too expensive and nice place in Papeete. If u are looking for the same, don´t hesitate to go to Fare Suisse! It´s cosy and clean there, everything is at walking distance, Beni is a charming guy, u can trust him in every case. So all in all it´s... More

We stayed two nights. Just 10mins walking from the centre of Papete in a really quite area far from traffic and noise. Rooms are not so big but nice and clean. Private bathroom, A/C. No Tv, safety box. For 15$ more you can have breakfast, baguette, fruits, yogurt, juices etc...Otherwise there is a market just 5 mins walking. The staff... More

We stayed at Fare Suisse in February 2012 and it was a great experience. Since it's located just a short walk from a grocery store and equipped with a full kitchen, we were able to cook for ourselves and save money. The beautiful dining terrace is a wonderful spot to meet the other guests, too. And it's easy to walk... More

My husband and I stayed at Fare Suisse twice on our trip to French Polynesia last summer. The first night we arrived in Tahiti on our international flight, Beni met us at the airport and drove us to Fare Suisse, and then drove us the next morning back to the airport to our interisland flight to Moorea. The transport by... More

We arrived in Tahiti late at night after an exhausting journey. Beni offered a free picked up. The room was very basic, clean with no frills and a new renovated bathroom with a large shower. Bed was very comfy with crisp clean sheets after a tiring journey we crashed for the night. We chose to have the continental breakfast on... More

Maybe somebody is impersonating "Beni", as I did not recognize any of the positive attributes other reviewers can see in this host. Over the 2 nights we stayed, Beni was not helpful at all and his effrontery at check-out time nearly spoiled a otherwise perfect holiday. The rooms are clean and look recently refurbished - unfortunately without much thought to... More

As mentioned in previous reviews, this place is great for an overnight stay prior to a flight or ferry ride. Clean rooms, convenient transfers and welcoming staff. No facilities like tea/coffee or TV, but still very comfortable. Would definately recommend. More

What a great find. This is a lovely place to stay and Beni and the staff so friendly and helpful. The airport pickup and drop off service is great and it was especially nice to have Beni's smiling face to greet us. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the towels changed regulary. We loved the spacious kitchen and lounge with... More

Fare Suisse is the perfect guesthouse. The rooms are beautifully furnished, spacious, air conditioned and have powerful showers. It is well within walking distance for the centre of Papeete and the harbor too. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked with the essentials for cooking, should you be so inclined. The staff are all lovely, especially Beni, who went out... More
