Normally I’m skeptical about totally negative reviews. In my opinion every place has pros and cons, but I can’t say any positive thing about Ana Rapu. We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights there. The owner promised to meet us at the airport. Upon arrival we saw a lot of people with signs. They were waiting for other travelers but nobody met us. In fact we were only ones who wasn’t met at the airport. We asked about Ana Rapu and some people told us that they didn’t see her that morning. We took a taxi for 5$ and came to Ana Rapu. It was 6am and the guest house looked absolutely empty. Reception door was opened but nobody was there. Taxi driver told us that probably the owners were still sleeping. We tried to dial owner’s mobile number but there was no answer. We decided to wait because of Sunday early morning. One girl appeared in one hour. She told us in Spanish that the owner would be here shortly. In fact "shortly" meant one hour more. Then the owner’s daughter came. She was very rude and when we asked about our transfer told that her sister worked at the airport and had to be there 2 hour ago but didn’t find us. Our rooms weren’t prepared (but as we understood previous guests left the hostal 3 days ago). The breakfast was TOO simple: stale bread and margarine and cup of instant coffee. When we booked rooms we were going to use kitchen but it was so dirty that first we had to clean table and one pan. We understood that this accommodation was absolutely unacceptable and found excellent guest house just in the middle of the main street in Hanga Roa for the same price.

We stayed here for five nights and found it quite nice and a good value for expensive Easter Island. They picked us up at the airport and gave us a spacious, sunny, clean room with a patio overlooking the sea and Hanga Roa. The bed was very comfortable and, with the windows open, we could hear the sea all night, which was lovely. I see some other guests have complained here about the rooms' cleanliness, a problem we did not encounter in the least, and in fact they gave us fresh towels every day of our stay, which we did not expect or need but certainly appreciated. Breakfast was about what you would expect in a cheap Chilean hotel -- a wedge of fresh papaya, bread, jam, and instant coffee. Nothing to get your hopes up about. We did not use the communal guest kitchen, but it looked a bit sad and not very modern, fine for cooking basic dishes. All in all, we would recommend Ana Rapu.

We stayed here 5 nights during our stay on Easter Island.

The guesthouse is managed by the daughter of Ana Rapu - sadly very run down and dirty. Although adviced different the previous day she didn`t pick us up from the airport. Very convienient if you don`t have Pesos, there isn`t a money change at the airport, you don`t know much Spanish and you have to take a taxi...

We came here with the intension of cooking ourselves since Easter Island is a quiet expensive destination. Sadly the kitchen was not useable - it was filthy dirty, broken and stinky.

Breakfast was bread, nescafe, jam and butter and only served at 9.30 am. The manager hardly was around to answer questions or to organize things - made a uninterested impression. One day we waited for her 2 hours without any sucess.

The rooms were ok + simple but sadly broken. In our room the toilet flush was not working, the window didn`t close and the tab was rusty, nearly not useable. The beds were very comfy though.

We don`t recommend staying here. Sure, accomodation on Easter Island is expensive... but the guesthouse Ana Rapu is annoying.

The guest house was OK, location was nice right next to the water, and the rooms were decently clean. But the owner was never around, so questions that we had couldn't be answered. And although she advertised pickup and drop off for the airport; the taxi ride to the airport was on our dime. There was no back window in our room, so no airflow; along with no fans. Breakfast was ok, but nothing great.
