Loved the breakfast! The staff were super helpful and fun to talk to. The WiFi was limited and needed to ask for a slip or buy more megabytes from them.

すばらしいスタッフ
空港から事前に宿へ連絡し、手配していた乗り合いタクシーで夜10時過ぎに到着。夜10時でもセキュリティスタッフがいるので、対応してくれる。空港からのタクシー料金は50パアンガ払ったが、ロッジに置いてある案内にもそう書かれているので目安としてほしい。部屋は快適で、網戸もきれい。共用バスルームはこまめな清掃を希望したいが、シャワーにお湯がでるのはうれしい。スタッフはフレンドリーで困ったことがあれば、相談すれば、助けてくれる。朝食はトースト、エッグ、フルーツのコンティネンタルで無料。立地は中心部から徒歩5分、港から徒歩10分で観光、ホエールスイミングにもおすすめ。wi-fiも使えるので、最低限のデータ通信に問題はない。

Tonga är väldigt primitivt, så standarden är helt ok efter omständigheterna, rent och helt, ägg och flingor till gemensam frukost, internet funkar när det vill och långsamt, island time som man säger.

The hospitality and the staff are so friendly. I feel safe to know their security is there all the time. Fiona and her staff went extra miles to make sure that our needs were met. The guest in there were like family. I will stay at Malau lodge every time I visit Tonga. It is central to everything in the town. I arrived there a 3 am, one of the staff was still waiting for us. What a service. Thank you so much for making out time in Tonga a memorable time. I will recommend Malau Lodge to anyone. The venue and the atmosphere were great. Thank you

Warm , welcoming people . The situation is quiet and the rooms are roomy with aircon . The en-suite was great. The breakfast every morning was beautifully paid out with choices of cereal , tropical fruit , juice and eggs on toast. Tea and coffee is available all the time . It’s an easy walk to cafes and sea and port . It’s next door to Dateline hotel and you can buy reasonanbly priced meals there . My tour picked me up and dropped me off every day as well.
