Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Nothing. I can’t believe I am putting this review for the first time ever in my history of booking an accomodation in booking.com. I am not a picky person, I’ve booked hostels, and different star level for accomodation in booking.com. But this is the first time, it did not meet my basic standard - no musty smell, with good ventillation. It maybe different preferences, but I booked this “studio” apartment because of the good reviews, and again it failed to meet the basics.

    It's in a great location. It was handy to be able to use the pool, or head to the lagoon area which was lovely. There was a plumbing problem in the downstairs restroom, and we called the provided number which was addressed that same day. The view was lovely and walkable to restaurants and the beach, The kitchen and all implements were great

    Made you feel very welcomed. Best spot in Kona. You can't find somewhere closer to the ocean. Clean, kitchen well stocked. Prime location for the village. Family felt very safe. Our room 207 had snorkeling gear and beach chairs.
