Host: Our host was pretty responsive but her communication skills could use some improvement. She doesn’t think she is in the hospitality business and treats her guests as a business transaction. She requests for more money after the fact and is demanding in her way or the hwy. In all my years using Airbnb, this is the 1st host I have encounter that didn’t treat me well and it is very disappointing. Remote location: you will be explicitly told by the owner not to leave a poor review because of the location. Part of leaving a review, means you get to tell people your experience. This place is 1hr and 20min from the airport and Waikiki area. It is in a not so wealthy part of the isle and this is visible while driving on the HWY when you see homeless people sleeping at the beach. Makaha Beach is a 5min drive away or a 20-30min walk downhill. House cleaning: If you want a vacation, you might want to rethink staying here. You will be ask to do laundry for anything you use during your stay. If you use their toilet paper, you will be asked to replace it. The shower curtain was super moldy and gross. All dishes and sweeping will be done by you despite the fact that you are paying a $150 cleaning fee. You might also be asked to pay another $50 after the fact if they feel you didn’t meet their expectations. No airflow/AC: When we got to the condo, it was all stuffy. After we opened all the windows and doors and turned on all the fans, it got better. But even after letting it ventilate, we still woke up sweating every morning. Hawaii tax Paypal: Buyer’s beware! She describes the Hawaii tax an extra charge which I had no problem paying but she asked me to paypal her in order to get the condo access code. This is a violation of Airbnb policy and I confronted the host about it, she said to paypal her or I wouldn’t get the code to get into the condo. Airbnb told me to use the resolution center to send money but she refused this proposed method. The host is in direct violation of Airbnb policy but she doesn’t care. Security: There is a security guard at the gate and we arrived late at night, there was a mix up and we were almost not allowed in. When I told the host about the situation the next day and asked her to call the office to clear the missed up, she said there was no reason because she had already done that. I felt like she invalidated my experience and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience that cause us. The good stuff: Makaha beach is gorgeous and there are beautiful green mountains surrounding the condo. The condo was really well stocked up (dishes, high chair, playpen, beach toys, etc) and there were peacocks and chickens running around...
