3 generations of my family stayed with Ivan at Rekona Lodge in Gizo during June 2023. Our rooms were spotless, comfortable and well priced.
Pick up was arranged from the island airstrip off shore and Ivan met us at the wharf with a car as it was raining.
We opted for meals (dinner and breakfast) at the lodge and they were excellent .. prepared and served with a smile.  The staff were particularly kind to my grandchildren aged 8 and 9.
We now have wonderful memories of our Solomon Islands trip. … thank you Ivan and all the staff.  We hope to be lucky enough to return in the future.

Wonderful Solomons hospitality.

We will definitely stay again at the Rekona Lodge when we return to Gizo.  All the facilities were as advertised including hot water in the shower.  

The proximity to town is perfect, close enough to be an easy walk but far enough to be away from any noise.  

Our two highlights though would be the outstanding friendly service by Kila, Jordie and their team and the fantastic dinner they cooked for us.  Solomon hospitality and food at its best.

Great stay

I stayed at Rekona Lodge for around 8 weeks whilst working at nearby Gizo Hospital, as a medical student. The lodge is family run, and all the staff were incredibly kind and so helpful, they were always on hand for a friendly chat and to deal with any questions/issues. 

The lodge has a range of rooms: cheaper rooms which are fan cooled with either shared bathroom or ensuite, and some more expensive a/c rooms which all have an ensuite, which caters to all budgets. I stayed in an ensuite, fan cooled room to keep my cost down (if you are a medical student they may offer discount on some rooms). My room was cleaned and sheets/towels changed very frequently. They provided laundry and meal services on request, and helped to arrange the boat transfers to/from Nusatupe airport. 

They have a shared kitchen, which is fairly basic but well equipped with two camp stoves, plenty of pots/pans, utensils, toaster and shared fridge/freezer. This was always clean despite being shared between all of the rooms. It would sometimes be quite busy when there were lots of guests, but this was rarely an issue. 

The location was perfect, with a short 10min walk to the hospital, 5min to Dive Gizo, 8min to the market and only a stones throw from some shops + the ATM. Also the lodge is only a short walk to any of the jetty's in town, in order to get a boat to explore surrounding islands! Jordie on reception was a great help in contacting and helping to arrange boat trips with Davis, a family friend. 

There is also free wifi in reception, the kitchen, and some of the rooms - which is a rarity in Gizo! 

Overall I had an amazing stay and felt very welcome in Gizo from the outset due to the amazing staff at Rekona. Despite accommodation not being cheap in Gizo, the service provided by all the staff (especially Jordie and Ivan) was priceless and a huge help as a solo traveller! Thank you all for such a wonderful stay, I miss Gizo already!


Amazing staff and great accomodation

Stayed for 3 nights whilst on working holiday. 
Clean, cool,airy well furnished rooms with new air-conditioning  and a deck with  a filtered few of the bay and extinct volcano.
Jordie and Ivan were very kind to us.
Its a 5 min walk to the Gizo dive and a 7min walk to the market where we bought some fresh fish which Jordie and staff helped us prepare for dinner in the kitchen.
When we organise another trip to Gizo we hope Jordie and Ivan are still here.

I stayed at Rekona Lodge for a prolonged period in September-October 2022 and had a great experience. The rooms were well furnished and comfortable with well equipped air con and fans, and access to a fridge, kettle and tv. The room was kept very clean and bed sheets and towels changed often. Any issues with the room were sorted out immediately by the hosts. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming and were always on hand for a friendly conversation. They were also incredibly helpful with assisting us with any enquiries and provided laundrette and meal services upon request. 

I would highly recommend staying at Rekona Lodge during your stay in Gizo, we look forward to our return visit in 2023. 

Wonderful Hosts & a Wonderful Overall Stay

We stayed in the Rekona Lodge in Honiara as well and really enjoyed our stay. On this reason we decided to book also in the Rekona Lodge in Gizo. Very nice accommodation with good price-performance. Very quiet and peaceful location, the staff is very friendly and helpful. In a short walking distance to the harbor, market and town center. We would stay here again anytime!

Perfect place to stay in Gizo

I have visited Gizo this year and have been accomodated at Rekona Lodge. Like others have mention I have enjoyed my stay. If you are running on tight budget try out the $320 room its not aircon but there's ceiling fan that do the work. If you planning to visit Gizo check out Rekona Lodge.

Value for Money

Rekona is one of the best places to stay in Gizo - it's really good value for money! We stayed for one month in one of the upper floor rooms with air conditioning and a beautiful balcony. The whole place is well maintained - the staff work hard to keep the rooms tidy (they come in and clean/make the beds every day!) as well as the kitchen, which is cleaned once per day. They're really accommodating, friendly and helpful. We loved staying at Rekona!

If you are coming in summer and can handle the price difference then the upper air conditioned rooms really seemed a lot nicer than the other ones. We squeezed 4 people in to 1 room to keep the costs low and it was worth it for the nice room!

The location is great - only a 10 min walk down to the market and less than 5 minute walk to Dive Gizo

Excellent!

We cannot speak highly enough about Rekona Lodge. Ivan and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and looked after us exceptionally well throughout our stay. We had a lovely room on the upper floor with a balcony and a superb view across the town to Kolombangara. The room had a fridge, kettle for making tea or coffee and air-conditioning.
The hotel is very well maintained and rooms are cleaned every day. It has easy access to the town, wharf and Gizo in general so that it is very easy to return to if a rest is needed during the day! Being off the main street it is also quiet at night.
We would advise any one visiting Gizo to choose this hotel for their stay.

Wonderful stay in this lovely hotel

I have stayed at Rekona Lodge multiple times this year, and have had such a great experience on every occasion. I cannot speak highly enough of the warm, friendly and helpful staff at Rekona Lodge. They are lovely, and have gone out of their way to provide for and accomodate the requirements of our large and diverse travel group. 

The rooms were lovely and clean, the location is very convenient, and it is very clear that the staff at Rekona Lodge take great pride in providing more than 'just a place to stay'. The warmth and the effort that they went to for our groups has been one of the highlights of my trip. 

I strongly recommend staying at Rekona Lodge!

Brilliant - Such a warm, friendly, welcoming place to stay. Highly recommended!!
