Love the stay and the staff. It was really a beautiful spot.
Rosa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's a lovely place, though Hilo itself is a bit run down. Itxs a great place to stay if you are going to go hiking, or to a much less crowded beach, but just know that dining is limited and nightlife is almost non-existent.

Nice staff!!!

A good place to stay. Very nice Staff. Thanks again to Emma! The Ray manta snorckel was great! The only think you Can improve IS to be able to turn off the light in the corridors so WE do not have light Coming through the Window. Great stay overall!
Christelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very organized and most important extremely customer service oriented. Atmosphere is very laid back and friendly which is more the case with a hostel setup. However, this establishment is the benchmark in this criteria. //. Also, very well located in Hilo town for various activities.
IEUFAKA EDOUARD-JOSEPH, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hostel is very good itself! The staff is very nice and is easy to communicate with. The activities are also a big plus. However, during my 6 nights stay, I had two louder nights. Not from outside or from younger people having fun, but from elderer people. If the maximum age would be 40 or 45, it would've been a nicer stay and the atmkspehere would've been more fun.
Lisa, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was my second time staying at a hostel ever and as an immigrant Asian American I can tell you now that you should do a little due diligence to get a feel for what type of hostel you want to stay at. This was more of a community and the travelers there that want to share experiences with each other. I didn’t understand this until I found out days later that there was a community chat. All in all it was a good experience where I made more friends and spent some adventures with other travelers.

this is our first time staying in a hostel, at was a wonderful experience we had a private room with two beds. It was really clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathroom were very large and really nice. The other travelers were very nice also. Not at all what I was expecting. Would definitely stay here again.
