This place seemed alright at first for a backpacker, but the next morning I regretted it. Had mosquito bites and lice! Of course this could happen at any hostel on Hawaii. So if you stay here or any hostel on the islands be sure to have some lice shampoo and mosquito repellent on hand. more

At $30 per night - this place is NOT cheap. If you like waking at sunrise due to noise - this is the place for you. "Female" which is actually a MIXED dorm now, is connected to the MAIN social area of the house, and the NOISIEST area of the hostel - the Kitchen, by 3 HUGE open 'windows' (with... more

I just came back from Kauai, and let me tell you, I am so glad that I stayed at the Beach House. Even if I had the money to stay in a hotel, I would not have traded it for the experience. The people who work there are very friendly and laid back. This is a no hurry, very non-pretentious... more

The Beach House is a great place for the budget traveler. I made my arrangements through their website. Make sure you confirm check-in times and driving directions from the website before arriving (my mistake). I attempted to call the listed numbers, however it was only an answering service referring you to the website (a person did not pick up). When... more

The Kauai BeachHouse was a great place to stay. HOW COULD SOMEONE NOT ENJOY THEIR STAY? My girlfriend and our 2 friends just came back from a week and a half long stay with the guys at the beachhouse. it's hard to leave...you kinda start to fit in like family. really "ohana" organized. Someone always got up early and cleaned... more

This place was HORRIBLE. We had a reservation, which we had confirmed several times via phone and e-mail, and yet we waited to be checked in for about two hours till finally deciding to find sheets and beds on our own. At about midnight, the owner drove in and started screaming "lights out!" from the parking lot, and then he... more

Firstly I think anyone planning to stay here should be aware that this place is really aimed at Backpackers and Not people who require/are expecting super clean and smart motel or hotel style accommodation!!! I stayed here in 2005 as a single female backpacking traveller and found it to be very relaxing and friendly. There are a few long term... more

This is a scam. I paid the depost (about $175) in advance (NO REFUNDS). Arrived with my daughter and son-in-law, who are in their early twenties, so it's not because I'm an old fussy person that we hated this place. A hippy flop of the worst order, insecure, not updated since the sixties, dirty, disorganized. There was no one in... more
