The place is as described and the rooms are actually quite nice for a hostel. The common areas have everything you need and it's very nice to get to know the other guests staying in the hostel. However all rooms are adjacent to the common area, which means you'll also hear the other guests if they stay up late. The garden is very nice with its fruit trees and sea views. Neighborhood is rural, lovely and peaceful: the real Hawaii as the host described it! At a stone throw from the waipio valley entrance.
