It was nice, though there are no privacy curtains and the fans as well as the AC units are very noisy. Had trouble sleeping the first night I stayed there.

The hand drying paper dispensers are installed on the walls with beds on the other side, everyone pounds at them all night long, maybe have them moved to the knee walls of the hallways not the bedrooms, pankxakes were awesome! And the kitchen is epic! Great job howzit ;)

We loved our stay at Howzit Hostel. We had our own room and appreciated the clean restrooms and facility. Everyone was friendly and loved the free shuttle and outings provided by the Hostel each day! Perfect for those without a rental car to see some of the best places on Maui. Highly recommend!

They say “you get what you pay for”, but here you actually get less…this is an overpriced hostel with quite a bit of issues. The place is located in an unsafe neighborhood with limited food options. During our stay there was a loud party that went on till 11 and then a bunch of people kept making noise on the balcony, right behind our window, at least until 12.30am (despite a sign that said the balcony access was up until 9pm only!). The cleanliness was concerning…a restroom had a clogged shower and was completely flooded, and nobody took care of it up until we left (also causing a terrible smell of sewage on the floor). This is probably a fun place for young people, but if you’re 30 and just look for a cheap accommodation but also hope to get a good night sleep, then you better spend your money elsewhere!

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.
