Howzit was a great experience, the hostel was cleaned almost daily from what I noticed, never had many issues with waiting for the amenities. Clean towels whenever you need. Kitchen is updated and clean! The staff make it a very chill vibe. I ended up renting a car as their transportation can fill up quick and is a hot ride; I then tagged along on the daily tours. Location can be sketchy at night but never had any issues. Overall I recommend and would return.

This place defines unethical & locals don't approv

We have been investigating hotels and at the end, started investigating hostels and found them to be blatantly violating State and Federal laws, as well as openly practicing discrimination, even so far as putting people who were houseless andor victims of the Lahaina Wildfires out of a room canceling their reservation because they specifically "with a smile don't serve that kind". Now locals are watching those who stay here because it has been alleged by a few sources this hostel hosts people of a sacred cult that has been implicated in more than two different major crimes, not including the discrimination crimes not housing or allowed local residents, even when others accomodations aren't available or even during a federal disaster.
