    The bathrooms are sometimes all in use--perhaps because there are only 3 of them on each floor.

    The hostel is nicely decorated and the energy is fun! The room was clean, comfortable, and had its own AC. The bathrooms felt like home-- full size rooms (no stalls).

    The rooms are not set up for good sleep: AC is way too loud & cold, you cannot open the windows/ no fresh air, hallway is very brightwaking you up each time someone enters and you're too close to others/ crammed (you touch each others feet by accident). There's no space for luggage and they have no lockers! How on earth can a hostel have no lockers, that's a basic need so please improve that.

    Great vibe here, big bathrooms and huge common room & kitchen which were very modern. Great idea with the groupchat here and they also offer free activities albeit with an odd booking system.

    I was a solo traveler, so the place is really far from anything (supermarket, beaches, ...), public transport is very poor there and if you don't have a car it's difficult to go anywhere. I was trusting to go places with the free excursions they had but either they were full or cancelled, so I couldn't do any with them. Luckily I made a friend with a car! Also the first bed was super noisy and I couldn't move in the whole night so as not to wake people up. On a good note, I notified them and change me to another bed, and although it wasn't very comfortable still, at least it didn't make much noise.

    I loved the staff, the space in cupboards and fridge to keep food and pancakes in the morning. Also, I had a problem with the bed and they change me to another one next day.

    Five-Night Stay in Maui

    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    My main issue with the hostel is the bathroom situation. There are 6 private bathrooms each with a toilet, sink, and shower, so if anyone is using one of those things, they prevent someone from using the others. Every morning and every evening people will wait with their things in the hallways to take a shower. The code locks on the doors are obnoxiously loud and wake people up in the room. The rooms are pretty cramped, the beds are close together, and there are very few places to put things close to your bed. The parking situation is pretty rough: there are a few parking spots you can pay for, but it's pretty limited, otherwise you will have to park in the 2-hour street parking (only enforced between 8 am and 6 pm). So you either need to be away from the hostel for those hours or go move your car every 2 hours. That being said, I always found a spot pretty close to the hostel. There are quite a few homeless people around, which unfortunately is the norm for Maui. I never felt in danger, but I would not leave anything in your car.

    The rooms and the bathrooms are kept very clean. Each bathroom is decorated a bit differently. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The reception desk is open 24-hours. Linens, blankets, towels, shampoo/conditioner, and soap are all provided. The location is in the centre of Maui not far from a few restaurants. The scheduled activities are a great way to meet people and are free (besides a suggested tip). The doors use codes which can prevent you from being locked out.

    Amazing adventures and great people full of good stories... very affordable and entertaining

    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    I realize its run by volunteers but there were a lot of questions that could not be answered so maybe just a little more training for the people running the front desk. and big people need big ladders for the bunk beds!!

    When I finally arrived I walked up to the door and they were singing Take me home West Virginia by John Denver...I am from WV so it made me feel very comfortable and excited to come in! It is an amazing hostel, this was my firtst time in one. My key code never worked for the front door so that was very frustrating since people (I wasn't the only one) were not able to get in until someone happened to come out. The room was fine although Im a big girl with a knee injury so climbing on a top bunk was very inconvenient. the ladder could be a little bigger since we are adults not tiny kiddos. all the amenities they offered were amazing I am sorry I did not have the time to hang out more and meet more people. It was an awesome overall experience and I hope I can try again someday

    It was small and just missing a few things like a little bench to put your stuff on. A place for your towels and clothes. In the shower more space for your stuff to put down like a bench.

    It was a good place for one night. I had a private room for 2 persons. It was good!

    Very good value and excellent communal possibilities if you can give up some ease of sleeping.

    The rooms themselves are a tad hit or miss, we had two bunks in a four bunk room. Can be noisy and temperature is highly variable based on usage of the fan or AC - I found it rather cold both nights. They only give you a small sheet and a pillow that doesn't really stack up to other accommodations on the island. For a tall person the bunks will be too small for you, I slept in a curl for our stay there.

    Really enjoyed the communal aspects of the hostel, they do have free pancake breakfast and the daily scheduled trip. We didn't actually join a scheduled trip but the big open lobby allowed for easy group making. The price of the hostel is quite good in comparison to the other options on the island. Also quite close to a good selection of food and necessities. Parking is relatively easy to find.
