Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and breakfast were average. Nice gift shop on site. We did use the taca taca game alot- my son loved that. Also has a nice pool table and good wifi. Overall a positive experience.
The room was very basic, with no extra amenities in the room. Off to a bad start, the hotel failed to pick us up at the hotel and made no effort to cover the cost, but other than that staff were friendly. Free breakfast was good.
The staff was amazing. Airport pickup was very helpful. Breakfast was good. Rooms were comfortable. Communication with hotel before our trip was so helpful.
Hotel Hatu Matua is exactly what we wanted: affordable, clean, pleasant, delightful gardens, kind, helpful staff, walkable to town center. We had a pleasant stay. Laundry was sent out and returned promptly. All good! I’d stay again.
The staff are all very helpful, especially a young lady in the front desk. She helped me to call the hotel that I planned to stay next. One younger guy is helpful too as I rented a bike there. Really enjoyed my bike ride.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again though if I didn’t have my own transport, as it was about a 20 minute walk to the town centre area and 25 minutes to the seafront. I thought for the cost to stay here, the breakfast buffet wasn’t great quality and we were required to sit in a certain place rather than choose where you wanted to sit, which I hadn’t experienced anywhere else.

Room could do with refurbisment
Room could do with refurbishment. Wi fi only available in reception /bar/restaurant area. Restaurant menu not available in English on our 1st night but translated by 2nd evening. Reception staff very helpful. Break fast - no fruit or yoghurt avaliable. General store close by. Rapa Nui Dream Island tours very good
Lovely feel to the the hotel. First time I've ever see bananas growing around the pool area!

Reasonable 3 star hotel
Good service and ok breakfast. Towels rough. Bathroom not clean. Lounge area nice. Walls very thin. We could hear girls partying well after midnight. Too far to walk for meals - would help if hotel offered lunch and dinner.

Shabby, no AC, gaps in screems to let the infected moskitos in...
Hôtel très sympa et bien situé. Les chambres mériteraient un rafraichissement, mais l'ensemble est très bien avec un personnel très serviable. A noter la qualité exceptionnelle du petit déjeuner avec des produits frais et une préparation très travaillée et entièrement faite maison.
la atención del personal es muy buena, son muy amables y atentos en responder cualquier consulta. El desayuno es bastante bueno, la ubicación es buena, un poco lejos del pueblo, pero para los que gustan de caminar, anda muy bien. Lo malo es que los domingos y festivos, no hay servicios de restaurante y el hotel queda practicamente solo.
Une plongée dans l'histoire des habitants de l'ile
Un séjour sur l'ile de paques est toujours extraordianire. Cet hotel a un accueil très agréable, et trouve une solution à tous les problèmes. Pas de guide ? on vous en trouve un, pas de voiture ? on vous en trouve une, on vient vous chercher à l'aéroport, on vous ramène. De plus, l'hotel met en avant la culture de l'ile. Son nom vient du premier roi qui est arrivé. Je connais bien Tahiti et ses iles, et j'ai retrouvé la gentillesse des habitants de polynésie. Je recommande pleinenement.
