Small hotels and guesthouses in Solomon Islands
Guadalcanal contains Honiara and several places connected with the region’s history. Western Province includes Gizo, Munda and lagoon areas where accommodation can be on different islands. Central Province offers further stops. Always establish the island on which a property stands rather than relying on the town name under which it appears in a booking search.
Plan for a personal welcome
A guesthouse may operate differently from a hotel. Compare the actual room, meals, transfers and reception hours before choosing.
- Private or shared bathroom facilities
- Available meals and their serving times
- Arrival arrangements and accepted payment methods
The setting in Solomon Islands
An island lodge may require meals and transfers to be arranged before arrival. Ask for an offer separating the room, food, transport and activities, along with the accepted payment methods. Facilities and connectivity vary by address. Check the features you need directly instead of using the word resort as a substitute for a description.
Around Gizo, confirm the boat from the airport to your accommodation island, even when the listing is simply labelled Gizo.
