I have never written a bad review before since I can tolerate "less than ideal" situations, but the host put me over the edge in this case: after checking out to drive 2hrs straight, drop off rental car, go directly to Kona to catch our flight, the host emails us about wanting an extra $40 cleaning fee - our usage of the rental was completely normal usage and he apparently expected us to do a deep clean on the morning we're catching our flight on the other side of the island.
In addition, this is way OVERPRICED. He charged us about DOUBLE what we paid at a far nicer place just North only a few days before - and still had the nerve to nickel and dime for extra cleaning charges after check out.
This place is dingy; main fridge did not work and a nasty smelly old one was there instead. The unit has a smell of "air freshener" to try to mask the mildew and mold. There were disgusting stains on the towels as well.
Outrageously, host told us the couch could be a sleeper for 2 - the couch "mattress" was only springs but no padding, so my poor 2 kids had to sleep on PILLOWS for 2 days.
The area is so noisy, with dogs, roosters, and frogs making a racket all night long - I basically didn't sleep the first night, maybe got a couple of hours the second night.
Not recommended.
