This house has cleanliness and neatness going for it! Big open dining room and delicious coffee you can make for yourself in the morning to eat with the lovely fruit and bread that the host provides. My review isn’t as awesome as others, but only because I was expecting something dift for the price and description. I think I was expecting to be a guest in a house, as a woman traveling alone, not in a hostel right across from a shared bathroom that was occupied nearly everytime I tried to use it. I was in a hallway with ither rented rooms, i think there were 5 in total? And with so many people coming and going in the middle of the night and six in the morning, probably to the lava flows, it made for a hard night sleep, also with no AC . I was here for business so it was not ideal. Thats my bad, so please take my review with a grain of salt. The hosts are very sweet and let me stay an additional 15 min after check out to finish my coffee. It would be lovely for a vacation for young people! Or international backpackers! Or people who dont prefer much privacy. I think this is pretty customary for Hilo stays, and as far as the hostel type spaces, I would guess that this one is the best.
