Beautiful place, exactly as described. Serene property. Spotless shared bathroom. The place (as well as the whole area) has a somewhat alternative, "hippie" vibe. At the same time Matthew is an experienced hostel operator and everything runs smoothly. Very safe and clean. As much privacy as one can expect from a shared place, good opportunity to socialize for solo travelers.
The area is beautiful, off the beaten path, and Matthew has all the info. The beach is great as is the Red Road. The area is as remote as it gets on the big island so expect spotty cellphone coverage and slow internet speeds, but I was still able to get some work done.
Would be happy to stay there again.
