Disliked: Room comfort
The price was right, but this is not what we expected when we booked. I appreciate the attempt at eco-friendliness, and we support that, but overall our visit was disappointing. The photos on Hotels.com definitely DID NOT match the room. I'm not sure how any of the rooms could have had an ocean view - we certainly didn't get one. We booked a room with a king and got a queen at best, maybe even a double. Zero view, but we didn't really care about that. There are 2 communal bathrooms, but one toilet was clogged when we got there and still clogged when we left. And the rules ... man, there are a lot of rules. Closing the kitchen for 11 hours (including refrigerator access) is pretty crazy. We were laughing at some of the other ones because they were so ridiculous. The cabanas might be nice for glamping (they looked cute), and we might try one of those at a decent price. But otherwise ... we were ready to move on as soon as we could.

Rooms on house share a bathroom. Area has solar electrical so they restrict usage after dark as they do not store it well. Just know what you will be getting

Guesthouse was very much as shown: community spaces for bathrooms and cooking etc. and the location was great, very close to Akaka Falls yet outside of town enough to enjoy slowing down. Found great shaved ice at the Aloha General Store. We stayed in the king bed room, which was clean and mostly comfortable, but gets baked in the sun from sunrise. The room was very hot and could use a ceiling fan, the small one provided barely worked to cool the large room… and having the windows open meant listening to the neighbors dog bark incessantly.

The real Hawaii vacation

I in the place where I don’t feel like I am a tourist but living among locals yes it not what many hotels will offer but you are one with the natural and the real beauty of Hawaii, taking a shower in the open bathroom is the best thing I experienced and yes it has a privacy and comfort of of taking a bath with out worrying anything just enjoy the view of Hawaii 360 degrees

Very secluded, and has most of what you need. The rooms are a bit old and not as clean. Amenities are great though! There's a personal waterfall you can go to.
