Senima's Airbnb in Falefa, Apia, Samoa. We care about your experience - see the real Samoa away from the hustle and bustle of town center Apia.
I have recently moved back to the family home where I was born, here in Falefa, Samoa. I met and married my husband in Auckland NZ before heading to Sydney Australia, where we raised our two lovely sons. The recent move back home to Samoa is a dream come true, especially now that I have the opportunity to carry on the legacy of my proud parents Samoan heritage, and traditions representing "Faa Sam

Airbnb Review from James (Auckland, NZ) June 2017
We had a great experience. We were very happy with our decision to stay in a local house in a village rather than at a tourist resort. Senima is a very warm and welcoming host, happy to share her home and tell you about the local culture etc. We got in really late because of the time our flight arrived and were greeted with fresh coconuts with straws to drink the coconut water inside. Very refreshing after our flight from New Zealand and drive from the airport. We got excellent, varied breakfasts with delicious fresh fruit off the trees on her property. The house is quite quirky, in a totally charming way. Be aware there is no hot water - not an issue in Samoa's warm climate but useful to know. Highly recommended.
Airbnb Review from Divina (Florida, US)
Senima did a great job in taking care of us, she welcomed us like we were already family. She took an extra step to get us an anniversary cake and celebrate with us our 25th wedding anniversary, thank you Senima. The garden around the home made it look so beautiful. The place was very clean and well taken care of. We would recommend Senimas place and would stay there again on our next adventure to Samoa.

Very clean, spacious, private and safe location. Senima and her family welcomed us and made us feel at home. Would recommend to all travelling to Samoa.
Airbnb Review from Olivia (NZ), Oct 2016
We absolutely loved our stay at Senima's place in Falefa! She made us feel at home immediately, feed us extremely well with lush breakfasts and homegrown fruit from her garden, and was an excellent tour guide at the same time. The facilities are beautiful, very well looked after and located in a very nice, lush area. Senima is very knowledgeable when it comes to the Samoan culture and we felt like we really got to experience the country, customs and people of Samoa. Thank you so much for having us, we loved staying with you and meeting your friends and family!
Airbnb Review from Mike and Liv (NZ), Aug 2016
The perfect place to spend a few nights and experience Samoan culture in the friendly Falefal village life. There are regular buses to Apia, and only a ten minute journey to Pilau cave pool. By the end of your stay Semina will have you feeling like one of the family.
Airbnb Review from Justin (Hawaii), July 2016
Senima is a great host who takes care of her guests. Her house is secure and clean. She provides a tasty full breakfast. She grows bananas, pineapple, cocoa, ulu, taro. Across the street is a nice place to swim. Senima's is a great find.
Airbnb Review from Josh (Colorado, US) July 2016
We had an absolutely wonderful time with Senima in Samoa. Communication was friendly and easy from start to finish with Eddie, Senima's son. We were picked up from the airport and taken away from any other tourists to the lovely village of Falefa. Senima's house was recently renovated, and the room we had was fantastic. Senima and her helper, Araisa, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. We loved chatting with Senima - she told us all about Samoa and the village life. She took us to beaches, the cave pool, other villages, rivers, waterfalls - absolutely incredible and lots of memories made. If you are coming to Samoa and want a true Samoan experience, definitely book this AirBnB. Thank you Senima, Eddie, and Araisa! We can't wait to come back!
Airbnb Review from Rachel (Australia) July 2016
My friends and I had a great stay at Semina's, welcomed with coconuts and enjoyed lovely home cooked breakfasts. Semina's house is in a great village location, and just a short canoe trip away from a remote black sand beach. We enjoyed our spacious rooms and having access to a good kitchen. We'll definitely be back :)

Wonderful experience at Senima's. Fabulous host who looked after us extremely well. Breakfasts were amazing! Room fabulous. Location unique and beautiful. Highly recommend this stay for a true sense of village life. Thank you Senima's for your hospitality.
Airbnb Review from Aimee (Australia), June 2016
I have travelled all around the world & never enjoyed staying anywhere as much as I have at Senima's! I was hoping to meet genuine people & experience life in Samoa but I experienced so much more than that. I have never met more caring and beautiful people than Senima and her Family, I adore her Niece who was kind enough to spend the afternoon at Piula Cave pool with me as I was traveling solo. The cave pools are 5 mins away and so are the beautiful Falefa falls. I have never been so relaxed and at peace in my life relaxing in my spacious bedroom with own ensuite and sipping a fresh coconut while wandering around the beautiful plantation out the back. I can not wait to come back to Samoa & see you all again, I will definitely stay longer next time!
Airbnb Review from Barclay (Australia), June 2016
10/10 stay Highly recommend.
Great location if you've hired a car and want a central but adventurous area. Senima made us feel comfortable and safe.
Breakfast was 10/10 and using the kitchen was a great benefit.
