Mahalo Howzit!

I truly enjoy my stay. The free activities and transportation to these activities were great! The free chocolate pancakes and coffee were yummy!! The receptionist were friendly. My room was average however comfortable. Rooming with other people can be difficult if someone wants the room cold while others are always cold and want it warm. My room had a very loud fan. It did not bother me much, however other people were sensitive about it. I truly feel I have make life long friends.

We loved our stay at Howzit Hostel. We had our own room and appreciated the clean restrooms and facility. Everyone was friendly and loved the free shuttle and outings provided by the Hostel each day! Perfect for those without a rental car to see some of the best places on Maui. Highly recommend!

They say “you get what you pay for”, but here you actually get less…this is an overpriced hostel with quite a bit of issues. The place is located in an unsafe neighborhood with limited food options. During our stay there was a loud party that went on till 11 and then a bunch of people kept making noise on the balcony, right behind our window, at least until 12.30am (despite a sign that said the balcony access was up until 9pm only!). The cleanliness was concerning…a restroom had a clogged shower and was completely flooded, and nobody took care of it up until we left (also causing a terrible smell of sewage on the floor). This is probably a fun place for young people, but if you’re 30 and just look for a cheap accommodation but also hope to get a good night sleep, then you better spend your money elsewhere!

Howzit Hostels - A Wonderful Surprise

This is an excellent facility, with superb service. Check-in was easy and thorough, and Kara (sp?) was friendly, attentive, and professional. As we were in for one night as a sleep-stop before heading to the airport, we were unable to take advantage of the myriad activities offered, but the amenities at the facility were great.

I liked the proximity of this location to local shops, grocery, and incredibly beautiful beaches. All walkable! The outdoor area set up for eating & socializing was really nice! There were a lot of people in and out while I was there so cleanliness in bunk area could have been better but understandable for the amount of traffic. The hot tub stopped working while I was there so that was disappointing. I’ve stayed at 3 other hostels and this was the only one with a hot tub. Showers were nice & clean. Tours were great!
