I really like staying at the Lava Hotel. I really like the feel of the whole place. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable although a little small for me. I highly recommend the Lava. I try to stay there every time I visit Samoa.

Thank you Lava Hotel

Thank you to the sister who helped me get checked in. My initial booking was scheduled on a different date but with the weather change the island went thru, I wasn’t able to make my booking on the scheduled day. But they were still able to accommodate me for my paid booking. For that I’m grateful for. Great service!

Out of 5 days we stayed there, the elevator only worked 2 days. room too small, air condition was too hot. water dripping down the ac. It happened to us twice, we locked our room and when we return we did not need a key because we just pushed the door and it opens. we did not feel safe. nothing was removed but still. this is our first and last to go there.

Appalling service

Samoa is absolutely incredible BUT this hotel is incredibly disappointing due to the service. On one particular day, I ordered 4 meals and every single one of them the wrong food came out. Eggs Benedict with ham…get eggs Benedict with salmon. Strawberry ice cream, get chocolate ice cream. I have travelled to 26 countries and as I say, my time in Samoa was wonderful. I cannot speak highly enough of the country. But my firm recommendation is to avoid Lava until their quite honestly deplorable, careless and rude service improves.

Late check option was great, it does cost but half of the full room rate up to 7pm - good for late check out. Served purpose of being there for business, space to conduct meetings, good flow indoor with outdoor freshness, good staff, only issue was arriving to room not fully serviced however they quickly remedied
