I stayed here for one night a few weeks back, paid $15 each for a dorm room bed. We were pleasantly surprised as there were 3 of us, we had a 3 bed room all to ourselves. The room wasn't great, but it was fine for one night and for that price. The owner seemed friendly and helpful. Only drawback... more

Very nice view, nice TV. Breakfast was minimal. We felt a little like we were invading someone's house when we stayed there. It was just a little wierd atmosphere. The structure is very old. more

We stayed at the Hotel Honokaa for 1 night. When we saw the front of the hotel upon driving up we almost kept going. Very old and did not even look like a hotel. The check in was not until 4pm and no one was around so my wife and I walked around the hotel looking for someone when we... more

This is a small hotel in a historic building, yet has been converted to generate more solar power than it consumes in electricity! A small army of solar panels do the trick. Plus they recycle to an almost obsessive level. Excellent! 15 rooms, a small hostel, and a meeting space/hall that can be rented for special events. Though it has... more

Rooms are comfortable with a spectacular Pacific Ocean view. No frills, but with TV and WiFi. Very historic property. The only issue is check in, you have to check in from 4pm-8pm...no one is around except those times. more

The hotel manager would not let my daughter in law male friend into their room because they were not married, he had to sleep the night in their rented Jeep. Another of our guests, a middle aged lady my wife works with,... more

This is not a luxury hotel by any means, but was a very comfortable place to stay. I opted for the dorm room option, and was lucky enough to have the entire room to myself. While I was there, there weren't many other travelers, so it wasn't loud at all. The owner was filling in for the manager during my... more

My husband and I were on the Big Island over labor day weekend. We were looking for good deals, and I found this place (also called the Hotel honokaa) through internet searches. We missed the check-in time (4-8 p.m.) but the manager was nice enough to leave us a note of where our room was and tell us where the... more

We cancelled our stay because the owner was rude and bossy on the phone - definitely not the kind of person with which you want to interact while on vacation. We should have listened to the review on August 9, 2004. more
