House: The house is great, even though very old. A couple of the door handles were loose but not a big deal. The downstairs kitchen AC unit didn’t work so it got very hot during the afternoons, but by night time it cooled off perfectly. The bedrooms were a nice temperature. It wasn’t a big deal. We hung out in the spa during that time or we were out and about. The house is in the middle of the jungle, so expect bugs, lots of them. It’s part of nature. The beds were comfortable. The spa was awesome but we only dipped in it a couple of times due to it being hot and humid outside, with the spa being set at 99 it wasn’t refreshing much. Bring your own toiletries (shampoo & stuff). The design of the house was awesome, but not suitable for people with disabilities or the elderly. There’s lots of stairs/steps. 4/5
Location: great location. Not far from Foodland, gas, the national park, free Zoo, macadamia nut factory, downtown Hilo, etc. 5/5
Host: awesome communication. We wanted to use the beach umbrellas so we put them in the back of the Jeep and took off. Two minutes later our Jeep was swarming with flying red ants and tiny, crawling red ants. We had to exchange our Jeep, but the host was so sweet when I called, and told us to just trash it and apologized 5/5
