Located in Pahoa, 1.1 km from Kaimu Beach, Open Gate Hostel Hawaii provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. 18 km from Lava Tree State Park and 21 km from Lava Tree State Monument, the property features a bar and barbecue facilities. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the hostel, and I must say that the experience was elevated to another level thanks to the incredible management by Marissa. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the hostel was not only well-maintained but also run by someone with a genuine passion for hospitality. She greeted me with a warm welcome and provided a thorough tour of the facilities, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed. She took the time to answer all my questions with great patience and always offered helpful tips on local attractions, transportation, and even hidden gems in the area. It was evident that they genuinely cares about the guests' experience and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels at home. The hostel itself is clean, safe, and has stargazing deck. It is also close to one of the most beautiful beach in big island.

We also offer complimentary WiFi, tea and coffee, Linens, Clothing irons, Blow dryers, Advice on local tours, and ensuite lockers in each dorm room. Absolutely fantastic stay! Staff were excellent- knew all the great spots and free opportunities around! Location was beyond perfect (2 minutes walk to beach, convenience store on the corner, food everywhere) Mixed 8 bed dorm was spacious and comfy! Couldn't recommend this higher ! Favorite hostel I've stayed at so far!

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. Staying at this hostel in Maui was hands-down one of the best decisions I made on my trip! From day one, I felt completely at home. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of that genuine aloha energy. I met incredible people, made lifelong memories, and left with a full heart. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable - shoutout to Laura, Victor, Gisella, Zac, Luke, Zarah, Mawi, Dani, Claudia, and Owen. Every single one of them went above and beyond, always greeting you with a smile and ready to help with anything. The place is super clean - kitchen, bathrooms, rooms - everything. Plus, they offer free pancakes and coffee for breakfast every morning, and organize daily free activities and tours, which are such a fun bonus and incredibly well done. I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels, but this one is easily one of my all-time favorites. If I ever come back to Maui, this is exactly where I’ll be staying again. :)

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. .
