Studio

POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL RENTAL. Short version- this property is dangerous, unsafe and potentially an illegal rental. I left immediately upon seeing the conditions and am seeking a full refund.

Everything. Property is filthy. Stairs are clearly unsafe and home built. There are no locks anywhere- the owner literally told me to shove a piece of pvc pipe in one of the roller doors.

The bed was comfortable and lovely nature outside

As a solo female I didn’t feel safe. It’s also far from towns so it feels a little isolated.

The location was reasonably close to Hilo, 11 miles, where we needed to do many things and other places we needed to get to.

The bathroom could have been bigger and the shower was small with two shower heads and low water pressure. There was makeshift door locking (pipes in the tracks) while in the room and a padlock outside the back door when you leave. Although we didn't feel the need to lock up when we left.

There was a friendly old lady that gave me some eggs.

The room had 2 doors to the outside but no locks. The bed was uncomfortable. The room was kinda clean. I did not get the wifi password sent until the next morning. I only stayed 1 out of the 3 nights that I had booked, and rather checked into a hotel to have reliable wifi and a lockable and clean space.

Apartamento privado en chalet . Es pequeño pero acogedor y tiene todo lo necesario. Bien equipado con baño privado. Nos recibieron y amablemente nos explicaron el funcionamiento de todo en el apartamento. Además, y sin estar incluido, nos regalaron huevos de sus gallinas y plátanos del jardín. Destacaría la relación calidad-precio teniendo en cuenta el precio en la zona. A pesar de estar en un chalet compartido tienes privacidad y es muy silencioso.

Por decir algo negativo, nos costó un poco encontrar la ubicación al no haber señalización desde la carretera pero pudimos llegar bien a través de google maps y nos estaban esperando.

Had everything we needed with a few extra goodies supplied.

Nothing.

Doors don't lock. More security cameras than a bank vault. Owner claims it is safe despite feeling like you're in a cartel drug compound. Room had chicken wire at the bottom of the incomplete wall and spider webs for days. Apparently there's snakes around the property as well. Me and my Mrs didn't end up staying after we saw the state of the property and the fact that you can't lock the room to sleep in or leave your valuables in is a massive red flag. Honestly I've never felt so unsafe in any accomodation, and I've stayed in multiple third world countries around the world.
