We absolutely adored the guesthouse, the balcony, cool and cozy decorated rooms, the view, garden, pool and breakfast. We were met with nothing but smiles from Valerie and her family. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Incredible stay! The hosts were beyond accommodating and gave great local recommendations (plus cooked a delicious breakfast!) This beautiful property is situated nicely up a hill above the bustle below. I'd rather stay here than at any resort. Book a rental car, stay here, and explore the incredible island!

Wonderful and Warm Hospitality

Wonderful stay in the hills overlooking Papeete. Maison Taina is charming and very hospitable mostly due to the warm, welcoming nature of Valerie (the owner) and her son, Tom. Both did everything they could to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The welcomed addition of breakfast each day made for a delicious start to our Tahitian adventure

I had a really lovely stay at Maison Taina. It was a true guesthouse experience. The room was comfortable and the outdoor area was perfect for a little dip and relaxation. Felt great to return every night and have a wonderful meal cooked by Tom and conversation with the other guests. Hope to return soon.

I can't say enough about how amazing it was to stay here. Valerie, Laurent, and Tom make you feel welcome and part of the family from the moment you arrive. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the atmosphere is inviting and warm. Tom is an amazing chef, and I highly recommend you elect to take your meals here as well. 10/10 will stay here again.
Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Maison Taina is a quaint inn located in the hills of Papeete. The owners, Valérie and Laurent and their son, Tom, were very hospitable. My husband had a chance to practice his french at dinner. We were impressed by Tom's cooking skills. We had an excellent meal that was comparable to a high end restaurant. Wished we could've stayed longer to enjoy his cooking.

10/10 Exceptional

The most beautiful property and dinners to die for

This place was really the most wonderful surprise of my whole trip. It is spectacular-bougainvillea everywhere and the feel of a beautifully appointed French family country house near the sea. Valerie and Laurent are the most gracious hosts you can imagine, and their son Tom is an EXTREMELY talented and accomplished chef. He has the kind of originality and finesse that makes for a destination restaurant. If you stay here I strongly advise you try his cuisine your first night so that if you book dinners elsewhere you will understand what you are missing. I have dined at some very fine restaurants but have never in my life had a better meal than those prepared by Tom. He finds unexpected combinations that work just brilliantly. So to sum up Maison Taina- a truly beautiful place run by truly beautiful people.

A very special place

This is a great place to stay; only 4 rooms, each slightly different, but with great facilities and views. Kitchen/dining room for use of guests is also a pleasant place to be. Great hosts who are good to talk to and share their experience of moving to Tahiti from France and their knowledge of their adopted home. A very special place indeed.
Paul, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is high end. You’re above the hustle and bustle of Tahiti with endless views of the ocean. The full French breakfast in the open air space makes the experience. Take time to get to know Valerie and Lawrence. You’ll be a changed person from their peaceful style.
Jeffrey, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Inaccurate information - beware!

Hosts Valerie and Laurent were friendly and helpful but this does not override the fact that the information they supplied is inaccurate. There is no restaurant and no coffee shop. They used to offer evening meals but ceased to do this a year ago! There is a breakfast area, but no coffee bar or café, just a coffee machine. All really misleading. I was looking forward to resting in the mountains for a few days. I was between hectic tours and didn’t want to be energetic. Pool and restaurant sounded fine. Except there was nothing in the area to eat at all and nearest shops and restaurants two miles away, down the mountain road. A taxi just down the road to the coast cost 20 USD. Valerie pushed me into renting a car and to be fair, fixed it up for me, driving me to the rental place. So I ended up touring, which was not what I had planned or budgeted for The room was fair. The safe was locked and I couldn’t use it. There’s the teeniest bin you ever saw in your life. Just the one, in the bathroom. It’s a fight to open or close the curtains; the pole is too large for the holes. I have a kettle, tea bags and a bottle of water in a fridge. But no cutlery, mugs or glasses. Nice terrace and swimming pool. Obscured views to the sea and the mountain. Neither are stunning. The Wi-Fi here is shockingly slow to non-existent. I ask about it but am dismissed and told it’s my phone that’s the problem and no-one else has ever complained. Except the Wi-Fi works perfectly on my phone when
