"I stayed in a bungalow and it was steps from the restaurant with ocean views. Behind the restaurant was access to the main road that was a 10-15 minute walk to the middle of the town. Staff was very friendly and the property was beautiful. "

"Dated property. Patio doors didn’t lock, so anyone could come in your room wether you were gone or middle of the night sleeping. "

"If we could give more stars here we would. We honestly did not want to leave - it was a home away from home and only wish we could have stayed longer here. The hotel is very clean and the owners very friendly. There is a nice Sauna you can book and breakfast was amazing! The little touches and notes from the owners really make this a truly special place. Thank you! "

"Beautiful place to stay with family or friends. We rented two cabins and absolutely loved it. They picked us up from the airport and also took us back for our return flight to Santiago, which made everything so easy and convenient. The cabins were very comfortable and fully equipped with everything you need. On our first day, we had breakfast in the hotel lobby, but after that, we decided to cook in the cabins since we had everything available. One of the best things is that they have a small on-site market with all the essentials you might need, including fresh bread every day. Sometimes we would walk to the town center, which took about 15 minutes, and the service everywhere was excellent. Highly recommended. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Easter Island. Also, they offer tours, which is amazing. Everything departs directly from the hotel, it’s very well organized, and super flexible. I loved taking the tours with them, I loved staying here, and I truly enjoyed everything they offer. Highly recommended"

"I love this hotel , it’s family owned and the owners are very nice people . The continental breakfast was great with variety of food to choose from . The rooms were clean, the AC and fridge worked well and there was plenty of hot water for shower . Each room had its own table in front with 2 chairs to enjoy the evenings on the island . The rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided. The hotel provides shuttle service from the airport when requested. We were greeted with leis made from local flowers . It was such a nice welcoming gesture . During the stay , the owners often gave us fresh fruits : mango , watermelon, maracuja and soft drinks free of charge . It is an excellent hotel . "

"Our stay at Hotel Tauraa on Easter Island was truly exceptional and unforgettable. From the very first moment, the owner/manager Wolfgang made us feel incredibly welcome. He personally greeted us, which already set the tone for the entire stay. His hospitality went far beyond expectations—he even helped us resolve and rebook our tickets, which could have easily become stressful without his support. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Every morning, Wolfgang would bring us fresh apples—such a simple gesture, yet it made us feel genuinely cared for. It’s these small, thoughtful touches that make this place so special. The breakfasts were absolutely amazing. Not just standard hotel food—each morning was a unique, custom-prepared experience. Everything was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with attention and pride. This is not just a place to stay—it’s a place where you feel like a valued guest, not just a booking. If you’re visiting Rapa Nui, Hotel Tauraa is a hidden gem, and Wolfgang is the kind of host that turns a good trip into a truly memorable one. Highly, highly recommended."

"Just about everything in Rapa Nui (including much of the water) needs to be brought by boat or plane from Chile and often from farther afield. As a result, things are used and repaired until they fall apart. This shows in some areas of the hotel. If you take that into consideration, this hotel is very well run. We appreciated the suggestions and help from the staff, as well as the free transfer to and from the airport."

"The staff was more than helpful "
