Cleanliness could have been better in the bathroom , but other than that it was a comfortable peaceful stay.

Location was perfect.

The roosters outside were really noisy starting at 5:30am. Of course there’s nothing that the owners could do about it that, but people should know that before they book.

The suite was very spacious and our check in/out process was very easy. The property was close to several restaurants (we liked JoJos shave ice and Da Booze Place) and very close to Wimea Canyon. The AC worked well and overall the suite was clean.

Worn out bathroom. Nothing to cut bread with. No plates. Not enough equipment for breakfast.

Good Location, plenty of space

Stayed in July 2024

Air conditioner was a little noisy. Probably should have turned off and open window screens for the cool breeze.

Closest Location to sailing excursion out of Port Allen, 7 miles away, that we wanted for just an overnight stay. Very reasonable. Some little restaurants close for breakfast

Good WiFi and flexible approach to late checkin

A must for this property is block out curtains…what they currently have just changes the colour of the sunlight and doesn’t stop it coming in at all. It wasn’t what I would call acceptably clean. Bits on the floor I could feel on my bare feet. I dropped something on the floor and went to pick it up and under the bed hadn’t been vacuumed in I couldn’t tell you how long.

The property was charming with a nice casual rustic appeal

No stove, everything has to be microwaved. Provided bar fridge only, not much room for groceries.

No food provided

The bathtub is not only far from hygienic, it’s also dangerous to get in and inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues. The kettle once available in the common area was taken for over a day - each room should have a kettle. Last but not least - the roosters kept us awake from 4am, which was way too early even if we wanted to start our day early considering the sunrise wasn’t until 6:30.

Great spot for exploring the Canyon. Property a stone throw from a black sand beach with a beautiful sunset. Best shaved ice on the island within a walking distance.

The building is old which gives it character. The showers could use some updating, however it was good value for the money and location.

Great location close to the beach and restaurants in Waimea.

Far room always stayed hot and the chickens always woke us up but we got and early start.

Stayed in July 2023

The room was very clean apart from the cover on the sofa in the living room. It made me itchy. But I was mostly outside and the bed was really clean, so not a huge problem.

It takes quite some time to drive around the island, so if you visited the Waimea Canyon on the west of the island or booked a raft tour (which departs from Kikiaola Harbor) it is better to stay in the Waimea region. This inn has the most convenient location and one of the most affordable options on the island. I checked in late, but the staff was really helpful and provided me with easy to follow instructions. I met the staff during check out and they were really friendly. There is ample parking space. I also enjoyed the coastal decoration of the rooms and the architecture of the traditional inn. The room was very clean apart from the cover on the sofa.

there was a fridge and a drip machine with complimentary coffee, but we would appreciate better equipment in the kitchen, at least for preparing breakfast, more glasses, bowls, cutlery, etc.

pleasant, stylish local villa with moderately well-equipped apartments, with a pleasant terrace to sit on, very quiet location

The location has come into the years. The wirlpool in the room was not working, and there were no extra's, such as a small joint kitchen. The place could use some renovation.

Good location, a few hundred meters from the beach

There was zero interaction with the people who took my booking and managed the house. I only received one phone call and a couple texts. After I checked out I received a text with a picture of someone else’s camera card asking if it was mine because it was found in the bedding. It wasn’t mine so this speaks to the lack of thorough cleaning happening between guests. The air conditioner being in the bathroom instead of the bedroom was a bit strange.

The location was great and the room size was good.

Deep cleaning is needed throughout! The linens had blood stain & tears in sheets and the towels were stained with makeup/red dirt. We stripped the bed of tired decorative pillows and worn comforter immediately. The spa tub and surround was grimy, so we rinsed off with showers & never used the gigantic (glittery swirls/ dark blue) tub to see if it worked. We made adjustments that were sufficient for our short stay, but sadly, did not meet our expectations for cleanliness.

Great location for walking to grocery store, popular restaurants in Waimea, and a black sand beach. Go to Porky’s & Wranglers! A/C window unit was a must for my husbands comfort, so happy that it worked but it smelled dusty/musty. Windows had jalousie louvre slats which was nice for a fresh trade winds breeze in the evening and early morning. Lots of space to spread out; a living room area with TV, then the King bedroom with adjacent spa tub, and a separate/private room with toilet. The Bamboo suite is half of the ground floor. We did enjoy learning a little about the history of the inn and felt safe. Sunset strolling at the nearby beach & great location pumps up the rating to a good stay.

The lodge did not serve food

a/c unit very close to bed and a bit dusty. Also created quite a bit of noise

Authentic lodging in remote town in Kauai. Spacious room. Easy parking. Close to local amenities. Minutes walk to the beach.

There were some repairs done in the bathroom and a note on a wall telling me not to use the shower for one day as they had put new calking around the outside. Because of this I'm not sure the bathroom had been cleaned, the mirror hasn't been wiped down and the shower glass was thick with grim. They might have forgotten to go back to the room once the repairs had been done I'm not sure. All the curtains were ripped and need to be replaced. The bed sheets have bleech stains on.

Although I didn't actually meet any staff they did respond to emails quickly and provide instructions clearly about self check in and out. I was impressed there was a smart TV although had to use my own log ins. Ample parking. Quite location. Cute building

No cooking except for coffee and tea, there is a rooster living next door...

Very spacious apartment.

The restaurants nearby were closed after 5 or closed all day when we were there (sunday and monday). At the inn everything was nice except that some utilities like the fan and fridge were a bit too much outdated.

Nice historic inn next to the beach. Our bamboo room had a spacious living area and had ocean view. They also provide you with all the necessities for a beach visit. Location was good, next to the road up to waimea canyon. Would definitely recommend this place for a night or two.

AC unit was installed in a window that wasn't exactly sealed, so it ran constantly and we ended up being warm until the middle of the night when we were really comfortable. Since the windows weren't traditional and didn't shut completely, It appears roaches periodically got inside through them. The small mini fridge was pretty old and had lots of solid ice built up in it. The noise it made was pretty annoying as well, but we spent our days hiking or swimming, so we were pretty tired.

Bed was comfortable and the large shower room was excellent. Water was cold and hot when we needed it. Location was perfect for Waimea canyon and West Kaua'i in general.
