Howzit Hostels - A Wonderful Surprise
This is an excellent facility, with superb service. Check-in was easy and thorough, and Kara (sp?) was friendly, attentive, and professional. As we were in for one night as a sleep-stop before heading to the airport, we were unable to take advantage of the myriad activities offered, but the amenities at the facility were great.

I liked the proximity of this location to local shops, grocery, and incredibly beautiful beaches. All walkable! The outdoor area set up for eating & socializing was really nice! There were a lot of people in and out while I was there so cleanliness in bunk area could have been better but understandable for the amount of traffic. The hot tub stopped working while I was there so that was disappointing. I’ve stayed at 3 other hostels and this was the only one with a hot tub. Showers were nice & clean. Tours were great!

This was my first time in a hostel, and it was such a great experience! The staff and other guests at the hostel were very friendly, there were plenty of clean bathrooms, seating areas if you want to just sit and relax, as well as plenty of free/low cost activities provided by the hostel, 10/10 will return and stay for longer, this was such a good experience!

Excellent stay
Our stay at this hostel was very comfortable. The pancakes and coffee in the morning were appreciated. Very nice, large and informal lobby. Rooms were clean and adequate with A/C. A bit of wait to use restrooms but not that long.

Quick hit in Maui
I had a late flight into Maui and a quick flight out the next day. I was warmly welcomed when arriving at Howzit Hostel. They were ready and waiting for me and I had everything I needed. I wasn’t expecting the breakfast the next morning, but it was delicious. I am eager to return for a longer stay.
