I understand that it’s a labor of love and a work in progress and appreciate it for what it is. I also understand that a lot of people can stay here…
However, we stayed at an Airbnb in Hilo for the same price and the quality was muuuch greater with many features and higher quality than what we paid for at this Airbnb.
Good points first:
1. Good location for getting to either side of the island.
2. Surrounding macadamia but trees are nice.
3. Main feature: a lot of people can stay here.
4. Decent counter space in kitchen for cooking.
5. Provided mosquito candles and drinking water were great.
6. Being in the wild away from neighbors was good.
To improve the Airbnb experience:
1. Clean the surrounding property of garbage and piles of debris left around; and the piles of cuttings.
2. The bathroom layout is rough- the shower sprays right onto the floor if the curtain isn’t drawn
3. Towels weren’t pre washed and left lint all over anyone who used them
4. Small bedroom to the right of the kitchen was very janky with its outside-leading door that’s lockable on both sides and a power cable running into a small maintenance door in the wall was rough.
5. The 1/4 bathroom in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable and felt ghetto with its partially completed interior and random stuff stored in there like the broken washer.
6. The cockroach infestation is pretty intense and scared the girls, even though we throughly cleaned after each meal.
7. The cabinet mirror in the bathroom is disgustingly dirty inside.
Everyone felt like this was a step above camping and felt that the price was way too high for the quality. Hopefully my feedback is helpful. It could be an amazing space. Mahalo 🤙🏼
