I definately agree with the reviews about this hotel. It was built in 1908 and nothing has been done since to upgrade it. The rooms are very small with a big price for it. The management turns off the hot water in the day time so you have to wait until evening to take a shower. There is no a/c.... more

Booked one night as was spending some time in the area and didn't want to carry on all the way to Hilo. The room was pretty grotty and old, the windows were shaking all night with the wind which kept us up. Booked an end 'view' room as I read these were the better rooms but there wasn't much of... more

I tried to stay at this hotel/hostel for one night. I reserved a private room for one night. Due to experience, I checked the bed first. I pulled back the sheets and 2 bed bugs flew out and ran away on the carpet. Obviously, I did not want to sleep in that bed!! I asked the owner if she had... more

Old hotel in a small town near Waipio Lookout, Northeast Coast Big Island. We didn't have reservations but arrived around 3PM. No one in the office. A sign (one of many) said to yell "you whoo" and someone would come. Around 4PM a very friendly woman showed up (after her nap) and showed us a top floor room with an... more

I was a bit dubious about staying at this hotel having read the reviews on TA and having a look around while noone was there!! We stayed for 4 days and enjoyed it! We got rooms with views on the second floor, also had tv with cable. The walls and curtains were both pretty thin but liveable. Annelle and jory... more

When you drive up to the Honoka'a Club you may be tempted to keep right on going, but inside it is quite charming in an old Hawaii sort of way. The rooms vary quite a bit, though, and the nicer ones are on the second floor with large windows overlooking the view. The bathrooms are old and basic, but clean.... more

When I pulled up to the place I thought it looked like it had been abandoned -- 25 years ago! It's a really rundown old hostel. When I told the guy I didn't want to stay there he told me I had already paid for the reservation and there was no going back -- I thought he was a jerk... more

The pluses: - Friendly service - Quaint - Solar Powered - Great location. In the heart of the Waipio Valley - 2 room suite has plenty of room - Bargain price, maybe The minuses: - Rusty roof - Runs out of hot water quickly - Poor shower door repair, does not close. Ugly. - WiFi does not connect to internet... more

I stayed here for one night a few weeks back, paid $15 each for a dorm room bed. We were pleasantly surprised as there were 3 of us, we had a 3 bed room all to ourselves. The room wasn't great, but it was fine for one night and for that price. The owner seemed friendly and helpful. Only drawback... more
