8.2 out of 10, Very good, (24 reviews)
"Nice, clean little place owned by the same operator as Kokopo Beach Bungalows (a much more fancy, and expensive, place to stay). Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Nancy. Great option if you are on a budget and wanting to go to the National Mask and Warwargira Festival, as they run low-cost shuttles to and from festival events and can help you arrange the tickets, There is also a Chinese restaurant onsite which has reasonably-priced food."

10/10 Excellent

There is a sharp contrast between the cleanliness of Kokopo Beach Bungalow Resort and the nearby town. The resort was an unexpectedly welcome haven.

How can I get cheap hotels in Rabaul?

  1. If you're looking to travel to Rabaul on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $104. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $140. Staying a short amount of time in Rabaul is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Rabaul, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Rabaul, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Rabaul, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions.
