"Far way but by far the best value for money"

9.0

Very special place and probably the best value-for-money on Big Island.

It's a dead-end location with no restaurants, shops, beach, whatsoever. 30-40 minutes drive to Hilo, >60 min. to the Volcanoes park entrance. In the future, an inhouse bar would be great!

I really loved this hostel. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure the guests had a nice experience. The hostel itself is a very unique structure built on lava fields. Definitely one of the most interesting hostels I’ve ever stayed at.

"Great spot in Pahoa with friendly and kind staff!"

10.0

The location is great in the middle of the old lava. Plus there is a gym and the people at the hostel were kind and friendly.

The temperature of the water of the shower was rather cold, for me that’s fine, but it might be uncomfortable for some people.

"Relaxing place"

10.0

The atmosphere that is breathed is one of complete relaxation, ideal to rest and disconnect from everything, the staff is very attentive and helps with everything you need.

I liked everything, I only recommend that a car is necessary because it is a bit far from the main road.

One of the coolest hostels I've ever been at. It was fascinating to be staying right on top of a lava field. The owners were extremely friendly, and the beach they suggested we go to had dolphins we were able to swim with. Our room was very clean, as were the shared spaces.

The road to get there is a bit sketchy, but we were able to get there fine with our Kia Soul rental.
