I have stayed at lots of hostels during my travels and this one is the worst I have seen. I was told ahead of time that the place was a shared bathroom situation, pet-friendly and that there is a large pig who lives at the house, so I think I went into it with reasonable expectations. Several people on this... More

DIRTY, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!! Worst traveling experience ever!! I seriously wanted to cry after the experience they put us through. Room we were promised was not there. So much confusing being bounced around one staff to another. They moved us twice (ie. stayed in 3 different rooms in two different houses) in our 5 day stay!! It was... More

OK, so in the one night at Lahaina Bungalow, I saw a pretty consistent stream of drunken cursing, crude tirades, threats, drug use, and picking fights...and that was just from the man who runs the place! In one single evening, between 6 and 9, the manager (who is the owner's son, I think, & word on the street is, he... More

This is a converted house, and may be a bit surprising at first, but once you walk inside, you notice immediately that this is definitely a hostel. The location is AMAZING, and the hostel owner is incredibly friendly and helpful - perhaps the most helpful that I have ever met. He walked me to downtown, and showed me where shops... More

This place is nice, mellow, no frills place to stay. Owners are laid back, the rooms are clean, and the bed comfortable. It's a few blocks up off the end of Front street in a residential neighborhood plenty close enough to walk down to the beach and to some of the restaurants/bars. Our room was in the back and was...

I slept in a lot of hostels all over the world. I booked a private room and I had to sleep in the garage. The pictures on the website promise a clean, lovely house, but it is dirty everywhere. There were two big cockroaches in the entrance of the garage. I decided to sleep in the car. It was disgusting.... More

Let's rap. What are you looking for? Seduced by those AAA travel books promising paradise found, frolicking virgins and coconut palms, carefree days and nights with every need attended to with the snap of a finger? Ya, they have that on Maui. Got bucks? I'm sure you can find that somewhere. Hell, this island caters to ya'll if you be... More

I booked this place because the price was right (read, cheap). When we arrived on Maui, I texted and called the host (as she had requested) to make contact regarding check-in. We still had not heard back even after the time it took to drive from OGG to the bungalow. After a fruitless effort to contact the host (and because... More

If you're looking for a super cheap place to stay and to actually get out and experience Maui, this is the place for you! If you want to relax and hang out in your room / hotel, this is not the place for you. I stayed here with a couple friends and the place worked out very well for us!... More

Thank you for leaving a review for us and I'm happy you enjoyed your time on Maui! Sorry about the TP.. we're trying to find a better system - we try to keep three rolls available at all time, but our guests seem to want to hoard them and often when people leave, we find TP in their room!
