Located in Wailuku, 4.7 km from Iao Valley State Park, Howzit Hostels provides accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 28 km from Wailea Emerald Course, 36 km from Lahaina Boat Harbor and 41 km from Whalers Village Shopping Center. The accommodation offers karaoke and a shared kitchen. A great great hostel!! Amazing, super helpful and fun staff, that also executed free trips around Maui. The hostel was really spaceous and clean, the kitchen and the showers (with provided shampoo and soap) all look quite new, there is also a laundry room inside. We had a great free pancake breakfast in the morning by the staff and the hostel also offers some snorkeling gear, organizes a karaoke night and a bbq night with a cheaper meal and drinks. Overall such a good feeling, also due to fellow travelers, who are in majority in their early 20s. There is also free parking available on the street from the hours of 6pm-10am, which is enough, because you usually are gone during the day if you are there by car. Location is great to go anywhere in the island quickly, but otherwise it is not a really preety neighbourhood, you cannot really go for a walk around it, there is not much to see and you would also need to drive or uber to a beach. But there are many ppl who would share that uber or you would catch a bus. A really great value for the money and such a fun stay!!

Situated in Pahoa and with Lava Tree State Park reachable within 200 metres, Pahoa Village Hostel features express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 4.5 km from Lava Tree State Monument, 25 km from Pana'Ewa Rainforest Zoo and 29 km from University Of Hawaii, Hilo. The Pacific Tsunami Museum is 31 km away and Lyman Museum & Mission House is 31 km from the hostel. I loved the price! Accomodation on big island is really expensive 🙈 however, even it was cheap this room was spacious, clean, and all we needed to rest. It's located next to some bar, so we heard music coming out from the street, but once we closed the windows it wasn't an issue at all. The neighbourhood is not the safast one, however, on the property have had 3 locks on the way getting into the room that made us feel secure. .
