They provide group activities which is great. The parking is first come first serve and paid. Property is clean. AC is kind of loud.

Great for the location, price, and excursions included. A couple issues: it felt like a constant fight to find an open bathroom. This location could have used a couple more for the amount of beds it has. Also, they advertise a backyard / outside area but that doesn't exist at the moment. Otherwise, parking was available and there were a couple good restaurants, bars, and shops within a few blocks. The beds were ok for me but would be too small for anyone 6' tall and up. I'd stay here again

Checking in was a bit slow and difficult due to computer problems and lack of experience of the receptionist, but with no significant problems. Overall the hostel is comfortable enough for a short stay. Rooms are quite small, but everything was clean (including shared bathrooms).

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 ;)

Very loud music in common area

They host a weekly margarita night that we weren't aware of. Even through earplugs and the air conditioner in the room running I could still hear the music from upstairs. I asked the staff if they could turn it down even just a little bit so that I at least couldn't feel the vibrations through the floorboards and they did, but it immediately turned it back up 5 minutes later. The sign in the lobby says music will be turned off at 9:45, a staff member told me 10 when I asked, and ultimately it was turned off at 10:45 after I went downstairs to ask a second time. Ran into another couple upstairs who were also annoyed by it, and just pacing the hallway together unable to sleep. Fun event, but I am sure there is a way to schedule this better so that it doesn't so negatively impact anyone wanting to sleep. Or at the very least, adhere to the music cutoff time advertised. It is a shame to leave a negative review because up until this point we were really enjoying our stay. The property is kept really clean, the common area is great, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. All that said though, the primary purpose of booking accommodation is so that you have somewhere to sleep while you're away from home, so if they can't provide that, it's a big miss.

Mahalo Howzit!

I truly enjoy my stay. The free activities and transportation to these activities were great! The free chocolate pancakes and coffee were yummy!! The receptionist were friendly. My room was average however comfortable. Rooming with other people can be difficult if someone wants the room cold while others are always cold and want it warm. My room had a very loud fan. It did not bother me much, however other people were sensitive about it. I truly feel I have make life long friends.

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!
