Guest Reviews
- Kimberly (8/5): - Beautiful space, great location, spacious No A/C
- Adrian (10/5): Blissful - Location , beach, room Location, Beach, room
- Linda (9/5): The location and price is great if you’re okay with more of a cabin-equse stay by the beach - I love that it felt very treehouse by the ocean vibe. The fresh air and true essence of Hawaii were a vibe. You can walk to Foodland, the beach, and you get to hear roosters and chickens in the morning. You have to really know that it’s more borderline camping near the beach with just a little extra and you’ll be good! The mosquitos were pretty brutal.
- Manuela.B82 (1/5): Troppo estremo - Solo la posizione vicina alla spiaggia Alloggio ben al di sotto degli standard minimi di decenza. Le finestre non si chiudevano correttamente, alcune luci non funzionavano e in tutto l’ambiente era presente un forte odore di umidità. Il mobilio era vecchio e deteriorato, con parti di legno che erano in procinto di staccarsi dalle pareti. La cucina risultava sporca e la camera estremamente fatiscente.
A causa delle condizioni dell’alloggio siamo state costrette a trasferirci altrove, perdendo anche parte del denaro già speso. Esperienza decisamente negativa.
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Jordanne (9/5): Super auberge abordable sur la North Shore - Auberge rustique. Vraie ambiance surf et détente. Les petites maisons sont dans la nature, avec des poules qui gambadent. Les cottages n'ont pas de vraie fenêtres, juste de moustiquaires. Ca m'a surprise au début mais vraie sensation d'être en extérieur, en communion avec la nature.
Plage en face du "Plantation Village" et possibilité d'emprunter du matériel de snorkeling gratuitement. Plage de Waimea juste à côté accessible facilement à pied et magnifique. Supermarché et foodtrucks aussi accessibles à pied. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. J'ai aussi adoré les personnes de mon cottage, super état d'esprit.
Bus qui passe au pied de l'auberge. L'équipement de la cuisine était très rudimentaire (pas de micro onde, peu de couverts, pas d'épluche légume, poêles très vieilles). Il ne faut pas vouloir se lancer dans de la cuisine.
- Kumi (10/5): 良かった - 立地とコスパ セキュリティー
- Paola (8/5): -
- masaaki (10/5): -
- Stacy (8/5): C’était très bien, un peu vétuste mais la literie est très bien ! J’ai très bien dormi ! -
- Mellissa (10/5): -
- Ralf (8/5): -
- Andrea (4/5): - The location is very good.
Only option available on a decent budget.
Fine for a short stay. Very old facilities (mostly the shower), absence of insulation from outside (no blinds on the windows and you can hear the chickens rigth outside your window).
- Mathilde (7/5): - Not very clean and smell not very good C’était vraiment sale
- Jose (10/5): -
- Julie (10/5): -
- Beate (10/5): -
- Chris Warburton (7/5): - Good location close tocamazing beaches with easy access to Waimea Valley.
- SEDDIKI S. (9/5): Endroit agréable, très chill en petit comité. - Endroit au calme, abordable au nord de l'île pour visiter d'autres plages moins touristiques
- danielle (9/5): -
- Jorge (6/5): Good location, too expensive for what you get - Really good location and the staff was very friendly and helpful Too expensive for a cabin with no towels and no doors separating the bedrooms
- 李 (10/5): - 這裡的宿舍房並不像網站上圖片老舊,非常新而且乾淨!晚上偶爾會有一點蚊蟲而已,但整體來說是非常絕佳的住宿地點,離北岸的哈雷瓦也很近!
- Dario (7/5): -
- Emily (9/5): -
- Enora (8/5): -
- Josephin (8/5): - It is a very special place
- Jesse (10/5): -
- Giulio (9/5): Ottimo anche se breve - L'architettura, il calore dell'accoglienza, l'ambiente molto caratteristico e hawaiano, la zona e' ottima La costruzione stupenda, le camere ti fanno sentire dei locali, la cucina rinnovata da poco, forse il bagno avrebbe bisogno di un aggiornamento
- Robin Hugo (8/5): -
- Melinda (10/5): Fabulous location & great vibe at a very affordable price - We loved the North Shore location. Beach right across the street and close to many other beaches. Foodland was block away and there were some very nice food truck options also within walking distance. My inner hippie was in its glory here! Such a wonderful and friendly vibe! We had room “F” and it was definitely one of the larger rooms. The bathroom was always clean and the shower had amazing pressure! Kitchen was so convenient and had plenty of dishes, etc. Truly an amazing value for this location! The stove on our kitchen only had one burner that worked. It wasn’t a problem for us once we realized that we only had one working burner. Everything else was great!
- Jennifer (6/5): - Wir waren eine Woche im Beachhouse des Backpackers untergebracht. Das Apartment hat grundsätzlich alles was man benötigt. Ich gebe den vielen Bewertungen recht, dass es dringend einer Renovierung bedarf. Es ist alles abgewohnt. Kaffeeflecken von den Tassen gehen schon nicht mehr abzuwaschen/ Küchenutensilien könnten mal erneuert werden. Und es bedarf einer Grundreinigung. Der Fußboden war wie klebrig, die Möbel/ Schubladen, Bettgestelle etc. müssten mal abgewischt werden, die Ecken im apartment gereinigt werden. Das war zumindest für unser empfinden nicht der normale Standard.
Die Lage ist dafür top. Zum Supermarkt läuft man ein paar Minuten, sodass man sich super versorgen kann.
Die Mädels in der Rezeption waren auch stets sehr freundlich.
Während unseres Aufenthaltes hatten wir durch den Kona Sturm zwei Tage keinen Strom und warmes Wasser. Hier hätten wir uns vom Betreiber ein besseres „Krisenmanagement“ gewünscht. Wir wissen, dass es eine Ausnahmesituation war, aber gerade da stellt man seinen (ausländischen) Gästen ggf. Informationen/ Notfallnummer und eine Taschenlampe zur Verfügung. Wir hatten ein Auto und konnten selbst 30 Minuten entfernt in den Supermarkt fahren um uns Licht, Essen und Getränke zu besorgen (in Pupukea war alles geschlossen). An sowas sollte man denken und sich hier mehr Gedanken um seine zahlenden Gäste machen.
- Chelsie (6/5): -
- Steven (6/5): Potential to be great! - Great location and the cost is good for it. Friendly front desk guy. Right on the beach. I understand it’s a hostel, so I wasn’t expecting the Ritz. Check-in could be better thought out: I arrived at night with a car and had no instructions as to where to leave the car. They close at 5pm, so there was no one to answer me. I just assumed this info would be on their website or in the check-in instructions.
The room itself (beach building room F) had such potential! It’s wonderful to be right on the beach and hear the waves. But it was really run down, the bathroom was in need of a major update, and the kitchen had cockroaches everywhere. Yes, it’s tropical, but they do sell roach traps. Little fixes here and there could make this a wonderful place!

- Smile :) (10/5): Très bon choix - Plusieurs emplacements de parking disponibles (gratuit), bon Wi-Fi dans la chambre, chaises et matériel de plage à emprunter gratuitement, emplacement idéal sur la North Shore très près de l'épicerie Foodland et des food trucks, deux clées pour la chambre, Check-in tôt dès 12h30, paiement par carte de crédit. La maison à l'arrière est toute faite de bois, c'est magnifique. Eau chaude dans la douche avec bonne pression. Le check-out à maximum 10h est un peu plus tôt que d'autres hébergements, mais cela permet un check-in tôt très apprécié. Une air climatisée dans la chambre serait un bel ajout plutôt que le fan au plafond et le ventilateur.
- isabelle (6/5): - La situation géographique, la place de parking près de la cabine, le calme, la végétation... Prix peu élevé, rare pour un hébergement à Hawaii et intéressant pour les backpackers! Les cabines sont très vétustes, les lits superposés instables, peu d'espace de rangement, peu de prises (une seule fonctionnait pour 6 lits, c'est peu...), le matériel de la cuisine est quasiment inutilisable, pas de vitre aux fenêtres (j'ai eu froid la nuit) et pas de rideaux.
- Pierre-Nicolas (7/5): Emplacement très bien, mais très très vieillot ! - L'emplacement est vraiment bien, on a accès à tout le nord de l'île. Les lits sont des futons, pas des matelas. Tout le mobilier est très vieux, et les équipements de la cuisine sont très vieux également.
- Gina Helena (9/5): -
- David (10/5): - Location and staff Happy
- Christelle (7/5): - Emplacement idéale : en face de la plage et a 5 min des food-trucks et de l’épicerie Propre mais très rustique, peu de meuble dans la chambre (une chaise et une table de nuit pour 4!). Très cher pour le confort de l’endroit
- Paul (6/5): - Location No microwave to reheat food
Bed was lumpy with poor mattress
- Diana María (10/5): -
- Ann (8/5): -
- Krzysztof (8/5): - Idealne miejsce dla serferow. Z daleka od duzych miast. Dla ludzi ktorzy chca miec spokoj. Bkisko sklep spozywczy duzy Brak szkla w oknach
Niestety bykem w porze deszczowej i deszcz potrafił zacinac prosto na łóżko
- Constanza (8/5): Convenient Backpacling place with great location - Location is excellent. Facilities and parking. All is convenient. Foodland 3 blocks. Sharks cove right beside. View of the beach from my bedroom for 4. Spacious and with a balcony. All a little outdated, rustic, basic. Water not very hot.
- IAN (9/5): Authentic. Brilliant location - Location. Authenticity. Top bunks need a protective barrier to stop people falling out of bed.
- Hongshin (10/5): - 백패커들의 분위기가 좋고 위치가 해변앞이라 파도 새 소리를 들으며 잘 수 있음 뭐 가격이 가격이니만큼 편한 침대는 아님
가성비가 좋음
- Cheng (10/5): -
- Sandra (3/5): Sehr stark renovierungsbedürftige Unterkunft - Wir hatten die Möglichkeit einen Tommy Bahana-Strandstuhl auszuleihen.
Die Unterkunft liegt nur wenige Kilometer entfert vom bekannten Pipeline-Beach.
Das Badezimmer war zweckmäßig. Unser Zimmer ähnelte einem alten, heruntergekommenen Dachboden.
Von den freiliegenden Balken des Dachstuhls fielen Ameisen in unsere Betten.
Die nicht verschließbaren und kaputten Fenster sorgen dafür, dass es nachts sehr kalt wurde. Auf schriftliche Nachfrage nach einer zusätzlichen Decke wurden wir ignoriert.
Ein Herd stand zur Verfügung, wovon allerdings nur eine Kochplatte funktionierte. Dies führte oft zu Engpässen bei der Essenszubereitung.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und bemüht, allerdings war die Chefin sehr unfreundlich und telefonierte während unseres laufenden Gesprächs.
Insgesamt ist die Unterkunft stark renovierungsbedürftig. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt überhaupt nicht.
- Sara (9/5): Cozy spot, amazing location, best vibe - Loved this place for me and my two teenage daughters. Close to everything, walking distance to Foodland, food trucks, and easy to get to all the best beaches. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Staff were very friendly. Beach chairs, boards, and bicycles available for rent low cost at front desk. Overall great value, so nice to find an affordable option with such good vibes. Other guests in the shared spaces were good about keeping noise down after 9:30 pm per signage posted by management.
- Modou (10/5): Perfect place to stay in the Northshore. Really closed to Pipeline and the best surf spots - Everything!
Amazing team Nothing
- roy (10/5): - The place The beds and the rooster🤣
- Yasmine (10/5): Really great vibe and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again! - We really loved staying on the north shore at this property. The staff were super friendly at check in and had beach equipment available for free. Nice atmosphere and close to a supermarket. This was our first visit to Hawaii and this property really set the vibe for the rest of our trip. Loved the common area but the bed could be a little more comfortable. The room could have also benefited from better air conditioning as there was just a fan in the room.
- Shinobu (8/5): Great location and great value. - Excellent location just across the street from the beautiful beach. Hiking trails are walking distance as well. No AC and can’t open the window, so the room was hot.
- Donald (8/5): - Inexpensive and right on the beach. The beds and the pillows were terrible.
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Amber Willcocks (9/5): - Perfect location beach straight at your doorstep walk to pipe or Waimea.

- Anders (10/5): Fantastisk bra i all enkelhet. Och oerhört skönt att komma ifrån bruset i Honolulu. - Personalen och enkelheten. Läget helt magiskt, precis vid stranden och nära till mataffär och bra mat vid food trucks. Inget att klaga på.
- Victoria (10/5): Loved this place, stayed in the front cabin and it was awesome! Big deck overlooking beach. - Apart from the room being so hot in the afternoon (room does have fan but if you don’t leave it on while you’re out for the day with a window open it’s so hot) everything else was amazing, great space, spacious, comfy beds, nice bathrooms, awesome location, breakfast bar looks out to the beach, well worth it! The house was hot each afternoon, not the end of the world, but good to know.
- Lisa (10/5): Wonderful relaxing stay. Perfect for cooler months. - Quiet. Very clean. Peaceful. No air conditioning.
- Flavio (7/5): - Soluzione semplice comoda ed economica Gli elettrodomenstici sono molto vintage
- ryan (10/5): -
- Sofia (9/5): Relaxing beach cottage - Amazing location, friendly staff Small things - beds were uncomfortable, the bathroom was sandy when we arrived, there was constant traffic noise
- Deborah (7/5): -
- Pouliquen (8/5): - Les plages à pied! Literie moyenne
- Perle (8/5): Great location and perfect for a few days on the north shore. - Great location, nice staff and communal areas are cleaned everyday. Very chilled vibe and well equipped kitchen Quite old, could do with some fixing up & new furniture in communal spaces and new beds in private rooms. Also the doors and windows don’t close so everything is open 24/7, and super thin walls so can hear everything.
- Susan (8/5): We loved it here and would highly recommend - I loved the location! I didn’t realize that we could be on the ocean side! The waves were the perfect sound machine! The beds could use a new mattress
- Daniela (10/5): - Tolle neue Zimmer , gute Betten . Tolle moderne Küche und Dusche . Wahnsinns Lage . Absolut the best. Gibt nix auszusetzen

- Sarah (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing, beautiful! - I fell in love with this place the first time I stayed here - this was my third time and I love it more each time I go!
- Angela (10/5): Perfect relaxed vibes for a family beach vacation. - Excellent location all you need for a relaxed family beach trip. Nothing
- Suzette (8/5): Basic but so central and got a room on the beach! - We had the studio room in the front building, room C, and loved being right next to the beach! It was also just a five minute walk to Waimea Bay one direction and Foodland the other. It was was pretty basic, and had no shampoo or conditioner, but was still good value for the price.
- John (9/5): - Great location right across from the beach
- Alice (7/5): - Nette Umgebung Küche ist im gleichen Raum wie die Betten- also überhaupt keine Privatsphäre
Betten eher ungemütlich
Grundsätzlich wurde nichts abgeschlossen und jeder hätte das Gelände und somit auch das Zimmer (kein Spind) beitreten können
- San Juan (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): THE COZY LITTLE VILLAGE HAWAII DIRECT ALOAH! - Es war so ein langer Prozess bei mir ,alle waren Sehr geduldig,danke! Ich komme wieder Room / house nr 7
Die Lage zum Strand, direkt Bus, direkt Supermarkt, direkt Palmen 🌴 🌴 🌴 Mond Romantiker crazy neighbours... so mach fun Ich bei der langen Buchung, alles wunderbar
- Alexandra (9/5): Location, location, location! - Free snorkel gear a bonus. Cleaning staff do a great job. Love that it is a family owned business.
- Jeffrey (10/5): - The location. The hospitality, the staff, the amenities. Nothing!
- Kevin (7/5): Great location, clean, uncomfortable beds. - Location was awesome. Clean. Very squishy bed. No AC.
- Fernando (9/5): -
- Kostov (10/5): - All is good there..people,staff,close.to.supermarket (the key) All in order..just go there,surf and enjoy life
- Anja (9/5): - Wir hatten das Zimmer mit den 2 Doppelstockbetten. Alles entsprach den Bildern und die Küche war mir Kühlschrank usw gut ausgestattet. Auch ein kostenloser Parkplatz ist dabei und der Strand ist direkt einmal Ober die Straße. Wir kamen relativ spät an und auch das hat super funktioniert. Das Zimmer selbst hätte etwas sauberer sein können und alles ist schon etwas abgenutzt. Die Straße hört man sehr deutlich, mit Ohrstöpseln ging es jedoch.
- Ulrich (7/5): Small town location - Location is good, food trucks and a small supermarket are in walking distance, it's a very small town, but be aware you need a form of transportation if you want to explore the area, there is a bus stop close.
The rooms are nice but the bathroom door and curtains should be replaced, most days there's a good cleaning by very friendly staff, WiFi needs to be improved and the multiple roosters start waking you up around 5 am! The price per night is good for the north shore. Need for transportation and weak wifi
