We stayed at Fare Suisse at the end of our travels in French Polynesia, as we had an early morning flight. Very pleased with the accomodations. Nicely maintained property. Very clean, well appointed, secure, air conditioning a bonus. Community kitchen. Beni was at the airport waiting for us and delivered us back promptly which was most appreciated. We walked into...

My husband and I have stayed at Fare Suisse twice now, May this year and in 2007. Beni is so friendly and hospitable. The accommodation was clean, safe and comfortable after a long flight and late arrival. Highly recommended! Thanks Beni, we'll be seeing you again next year.

I was traveling around the world solo and stopped in Tahiti as both the port of departure for my Aranui (dorm) trip and as a good back-door into Rapa Nui/Easter Island. Fare Suisse is excellent value for money, a great bargain by Tahiti standards. I took a single en suite room. Beni was prompt for all the transfers, and the... More

Middle-aged female solo traveler, stayed at Fare Suisse (dorm room) for 3 days in April and 6 days in May 2013 (before and after the boat trip to the Marquesas on the Aranui) Positive points: - the only economically-priced accommodation in Papeete, as far as I can tell. If you don't care for upscale lodging & prefer to spend your... More

We met a couple at LAX who were also going to fare-suisse - amazing out of the whole plane! Beni met us from a late flight and soon got us into our comfortable room. We spent two nights before going on the Paul Gaugin cruise to which Beni gave us a ride, and we enjoyed the breakfast, location and amenities.... More

We arrived at midnight and have been picked up by Beni. The apartment (Bora Bora) we booked had a bedroom with ensuite, a little kitchen and a sitting area. It was clean but it will need some renovations in the next couple of years. Fare Swiss is close to a well stocked Supermarket, down town Papeete is just a short... More

Bene was right on time to pick us up from the cruise ship port. We very much appreciated that his pick up and taking us to the airport was included in our room cost. After he dropped us at the house, he said he had to run and was very busy; we never saw him again until he came to... More

Fare Suisse is Trip Advisor’s #1-ranked B & B in Tahiti for good reason. Beni, its multi-lingual Swiss operator, runs his business with an efficient, yet personal, manner from the moment he meets you until it is time to leave. We chose to book-end our Polynesian cruise with two single-night stays @ Fare Suisse in January 2013, and were exceptionally... More

My wife and I arrived Tahiti a few days before embarking on a cruise around the islands. Being picked-up at the airport by Beni was a big plus. The flight arrived late in the evening and it was rainy, so having him there to take us straight to the hotel put us at ease. The location of Fare Suisse is... More
