I stayed at this hostel in mid October. The new managers had been there for just a couple of weeks and they are just FANTASTIC!! I felt very comfortable and at home there. Autumn and Bill are great, warm and welcoming. Every night at that hostel felt like I was hanging out with old friends and family, I knew no... More

I spent several days in Kauai and stayed a day at the International Hostel this June (2011). I was able to get out there and moved to the Beach Hostel which is a couple of blocks away next day because its very poor conditions – bathroom was wet, very dirty, tap water did not work, and a bunch of flies...

This is just the place you don't want to spend even one night! The rooms are very dirty... We had to prepare our beds on our own! The badroom wasn't cleaned at all and the price for that hostel was just not in the section you would normally pay for such a hostel!!! Be aware of the owner, called "striper"!!!... More

Trust me people dit not overreact. The owner is a washed up surfer who probably thought it was a good idea to make money by scamming backpackers. This place is dirty and from the looks of it is hardly ever cleaned. I worked as a volunteer in several desert areas for six months, each project 8 days long and no... More

I had done a reservation through their website for 3 nights. I got a confirmation message. Another group of four people arrived same time in the afternoon with me at the hostel. The manager (?) started to explain us "the rules". And from one moment to the other he turned to me explaining that he didn't like people with the... More

Okay. So I hear you when you say you did not feel the love. You will not find "Aloha" warmth here , but for a hostel, you can't beat the price or location. Best to plan in advance though so a key can be provided in a timely manner.. The dorm beds were super comfy. I believe they were memory... More

LMAO!! I laughed so hard when I read all the bad reviews just based on the man who manages the hostel his way. And all the bad reviews were from those who got kicked out of the hostel. When I arrived to the hostel, Striper (the man who runs the hostel) laid all the rules out to me in a... More

I appreciate hostels as casual, economic housing- but this one goes beyond any I've ever experienced in my world travels. The manager runs the place like a boot camp, using threats and intimidation with the guests. The place is cleaned only by the guests... which is unpredictable and not sanitary. I would hope that the owner would take initiative and... More

Im not sure why such bad reviews. Frankly I like the security and the rules gave us good piece of mind. I felt safe, and pretty much guaranteed peace and quit . The police station is right across the street, nothing to worry about. Room was a little sandy, bathroom was clean but not spotless. Its good karma to leave... More
