Guesthouse was very much as shown: community spaces for bathrooms and cooking etc. and the location was great, very close to Akaka Falls yet outside of town enough to enjoy slowing down. Found great shaved ice at the Aloha General Store. We stayed in the king bed room, which was clean and mostly comfortable, but gets baked in the sun from sunrise. The room was very hot and could use a ceiling fan, the small one provided barely worked to cool the large room… and having the windows open meant listening to the neighbors dog bark incessantly.

Very secluded, and has most of what you need. The rooms are a bit old and not as clean. Amenities are great though! There's a personal waterfall you can go to.

Eco-friendly

Eco-friendly experience with a few bumps. Only received 5 breakfast tickets, should have got 6 to Mr. Ed's bakery, which was a great place.
Falls were close by.

Beautiful place. The manager (owners?) were never around, and it would have been nice to get some local perspective on things. Noisy guests with big feet also problematic!

Beautiful setting

We enjoyed our stay and it was very comfortable. We had a king room. No A/C but windows to open for breeze. I was happy I packed a very small portable fan which really helped when it rained but it was still warm. We had to close the windows to keep the rain out. Snacks left in the room were nice and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you!

Unique location; beware bathroom access

This was a unique experience and setting. The listing should make clear that not only is there a shared bathroom but access to it requires going down a stairwell For those of us who need that access at night, not easy.

It is located in a remote area with really bad road leading to the place. The room is really small and smells with shared bathrooms outside for all tenants. We arrived at night with no electricity in the building. The breakfast place is decent though but you have to drive there.

It's okay stay for us overall. The site manager is very nice and friendly, especially, the cats he raised in the yard are very cute. The surrounding is a beautiful jungle. There are couple things surprised us: - the way to get there is very bumpy and narrow. It's under-maintained. There were many pits on the way . - There is NO continental breakfast. ( at least, the site manager did not mentioned) and we did not see it. - You will SHARE bathroom with at least 4 rooms of people. It's huge misleading in this property's detailed descriptions.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here for one night, and our experience was not good, for two reasons. First, the check-in process was extremely stressful. We were supposed to receive our room assignment and check-in instruction through email by 3:00pm, but we never received that email. After 3:00pm, we started calling and messaging the property manager, many times, using contact information found on Expedia.com. We never got reply. By 5:00pm, we were really nervous (not knowing if we would have a place to stay at all). We had to drive to the property to find the manager, who wasn't there. We got his phone number finally by talking to another person who was staying in the same property. Second, the bedroom that we finally got was tiny and not clean at all. It has a queen bed on the floor and another queen bed up in the attic. Since this property is in a very rural area (with unpaved road), it really depends on your own expectation. We were expecting a normal hotel room, so it was a disappointment. But for camping, this property is much better than a small cabin.

Fantastic place (some caveats)

Fantastic place and exactly as described. Mat was very helpful when our check-in instructions didn’t make it to us, and the information on site is really helpful too. The beds were really comfortable (we got the private room with 2 queens), and you can’t beat the views. Also really loved the treats left for us and the breakfast vouchers. Some things to consider/know: 1) Room: One of the queen beds is in a loft accessed by a ladder. If you don’t have someone in your party who can manage that, you may want to reconsider. 2) General: This is a shared space. The room is private, but the bathroom is shared, as is the rest of the space. People seemed to be respectful of the quiet hours, but outside of that, you may hear/run into others. If that’s an issue for you (like, if you really want your own space and your own bathroom), you’ll want to reconsider. 3) Driving: It can be a little rough, but if you drive cautiously and mindfully, you should be totally fine (if you put the address in Google maps, it may take you a different way that has a much longer stretch of gravel road that is rough driving). What worked for us was putting Mr.Ed’s Bakery in Google maps and then we just kept going straight through the ravine until we hit the gravel road and looked for the Hamakua Guesthouse sign on the right.

The real Hawaii vacation

I in the place where I don’t feel like I am a tourist but living among locals yes it not what many hotels will offer but you are one with the natural and the real beauty of Hawaii, taking a shower in the open bathroom is the best thing I experienced and yes it has a privacy and comfort of of taking a bath with out worrying anything just enjoy the view of Hawaii 360 degrees
