Super tolle Lage, sehr nette und entspannte Führung mit vielen Tipps und ausgelassenen Gesprächen. Sonnenaufgang und Untergang, die vulkanische Umgebung, und alles hier ist Kunst. Konnte hier richtig ankommen. Aloha.

This place was sweet. We really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, clean, good vibes. Well equipped and clean kitchen, important for us because we prefer to cook. Loved all the artwork and vibe of the place. The stars were incredible. Marissa, the manager, is wonderful and friendly, with lots of suggestions and advice on things to do. 100% would stay again!

Прекрасен хостел построен върху вкаменена лава. Чудесна локация, преди г.Хило , където има много места да се видят.Персоналът беше изключително любезен. Вечер се наслаждаваш на звездите, защото няма светлинно замърсяване. Баните и стаите са просторни. Имат голяма кухня и много общи пространства. Имат си и котарак талисман, което е допълнителен бонус.

It was an amazing view of the mountains and the stars really shine at night. Far away from light pollution so it really pops out

Only the distance from the next town but other than that it was amazing

"Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft"

10.0

Wunderbare und kunstvoll gestaltete Unterkunft auf einem Lavafeld auf dem Fuße des Vulkans. Larissa (spricht auch Deutsch) kann man alles über die Gegend erzählen und Tipps geben. Die beiden haben sogar ihr Abendessen mit mir geteilt. Ich hatte meinen Hostel Raum in der ersten Nacht sogar für mich alleine. Die Unterkunft befördert zu viel Zeit darin zu verbringen und nicht oft Tour zu gehen. Zum Frühstück gab es Kaffee, Tee und Pfannkuchen mit selbst gepflückten Mangos aus dem eigenen Garten. Es gibt einen Trinkwasserspender vor Ort und auch einen Kühlschrank sowie Herd Geschirr Töpfe, die man mit benutzen darf.

"Cool experience, though far from a lot of things - 1 or 2 nights is sufficient."

6.0

Cool experience to “live on the lava” and because it’s off the grid and far from everything (light pollution) the stars are great.

This hostel is off the grid - so expect an off the grid type of stay. This includes intermittent hot water and sometimes iffy internet.
