    Can't think of anything negative to mention. I enjoyed Lynn's for the first time.

    Breakfast was delicious. Fresh fruits and hot beverages. The staff were welcoming and warm. They have a swimming pool but didn't get to utilize it. I also love Lynn's Supermarket by the road. Convenience at its best. Fa'afetai lava.

    Maybe the loud roosters every morning, but they gave it all the island experience so there was nothing to complain about 🤍

    We were there for a girls trip for our friends wedding, found this location by accident & it was the perfect size for 4 of us 🤍 aircon was a treat after a busy day out and we had a balcony which was convenient for us to sit and chill out in the shade after being out all day.

    In my room no. 16 it was very difficult to take bath since shower turner had no handle. Either water was cold or very hot.

    Amazing place run by very friendly staff. Free wifi was fast. Breakfast was good. Separate full range kitchen for guests. Peaceful location away from Apia center.

    More like what they can improve? Maybe have more towels readily available everyday. In saying that, we asked and the staff moved to accommodate us. For our non speaking Samoans, just ask. Whatever you need, just ask the staff - they want to help.

    We loved it at Lynns Gateway Hotel. The rooms were spacious, and the bathrooms were in reasonable condition - very spacious. We were in one of the family rooms. The neccessities outweighed the aesthetics, i.e., the fridge was excellent for ensuring the drinks remained super cold, the aircon was working, beds and pillows were comfortable, and for townie kids like mine , the Wifi was fast and we had mulitple devices. Breakfast was simple. Too hot to eat or drink coffee for us townies.

    I liked it all.

    Stayed 5 nights in total. Breakfast was plentiful and ongoing. Staff were friendly and really helpful. The main building is cool and airy, it has covered verandahs front and rear and lots of comfy chairs in the public areas. There is onsite off road parking. There is a pool onsite, a real bonus on hot days. The rooms all have screened louvred windows, a small refrigerator, an en-suite and AC. There is an associated general store next door (liquor sales) that includes a bakery, that is open till 8.30 pm and is open on Sundays which is a bonus. They make really nice bread and great pies and baked goods. There is a gas station next door as well, closed on Sunday. NB: No liquor sales in Samoa on Sunday so stock up on Saturday if thats your thing. Hotel arranged a shuttle transfer to airport, better price than a taxi.

    It's a bit noisy, it's a busy location with some traffic (as far as Samoa is busy) and the main house is a bit noisy because of the large open areas. Also, if you expect a five star accommodation then this is not for you, book this if you value authenticity and a great atmosphere.

    Friendly, helpful, caring staff. Great swimming pool, lots of space, nice and relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast with local food items and varied from day to day. Authentic and a good place to meet other guests making it not as anonymous as a hotel.

    The pool could have been a bit cleaner; was quite a bit of debris which is understandable as it's surrounded by beautiful lush greenery however there was also quite a bit of "junk" around in the garden/pool areas and the pool swing chair has Mold also. That being said it is outside and has been for how many years.. none of these things detracted from our enjoyment & the coolness of the pool everyday

    Conveniently located mere STEPS away from an ATM & small supermarket that bakes fresh goods/pastries/Savouries. Went here quite a few times in our 5 day stay to top up Milk etc or grab a snack when we were tuckered out from site seeing A café & a restaurant next door also; the restaurant is right next to the petrol station and serves delicious Masima Povi (salted lamb?) Central to Apia town (6mins drive to Apollo Movie theatre) where we watched Little Mermaid Live Action as it was a sickly hot day so nice reprieve from the heat for my toddler - we had already seen it but it was so much better watching in a small island location as EVERYONE was laughing at all the little jokes/quirks throughout the movie which helped us enjoy it more than the 1st time we watched it back home lol Laundry service available at a reasonable price which was amazing during our busy week. Some of the clothes i still haven't worn since having them washed (3 weeks ago) but they still smell ✨️DIVINE✨️ Breakfast was fresh every morning and delicious! Nice variety, usually an assortment of pancakes/eggs/siamu popo (coconut jam) fresh fruit; papaya/bananas/oranges/coconut/ omelette depending on the day The staff were so lovely & hospitable. We felt like we were truly at home at Lynns Getaway, the room was spacious, clean & comfortable ... my 2 year old daughter had plenty of room to run circles around me with her last bit of energy from the day which helped her sleep even more soundly in the comfy beds 🥰 We came here after a 2 day stint @ Alec's Hotel (about 50m down the road) which I do not recommend if you value cleanliness. The air-conditioning made all of us cough/feel sickly.

    Not a thing here disappointed me, and I'll be sure to stay at Lynn's again next time I'm in Apia.

    I arrived on a redeye from Brisbane, and beyond organizing a transfer, the staff were welcoming and had the room prepared for a nap and breakfast thereafter. The place itself is in a quiet location about thirty minutes on foot from the downtown area and boasts lots of comfortable places to sit, relax and read.
