    My bed was not really comfortable and the bathroom close to my room was not very clean.

    Really nice staff, the building is cozy and nicely decorated. Pancakes and espresso are served for breakfast. There's a nice living room to hang out with friends, where you can play pool and other games.

    Far too few bathrooms for the amount of people that are hosted.

    The Staff was super nice and helpful, even when I needed to check out super early. The hostel organizes trips and attractions with was really cool cause the city doesn't have a good public transport system to get to those places.

    Perfect for our needs, we arrived late and left early the next morning. The staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The location is nice and clean with spotless bathrooms and good showers. For a hostel, this exceeded our expectations. Great value and exactly what we needed for an overnight stay. Highly recommended for travelers looking for clean, comfortable budget accommodation.

    Maybe more room for the experiences bc they only one van and sometimes people miss out if they arrive at a later time.

    I love how clean the place was and the staff were on top of things. They made the experience the most memorable. It had a great community.

    Staying at this hostel in Maui was hands-down one of the best decisions I made on my trip! From day one, I felt completely at home. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of that genuine aloha energy. I met incredible people, made lifelong memories, and left with a full heart. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable - shoutout to Laura, Victor, Gisella, Zac, Luke, Zarah, Mawi, Dani, Claudia, and Owen. Every single one of them went above and beyond, always greeting you with a smile and ready to help with anything. The place is super clean - kitchen, bathrooms, rooms - everything. Plus, they offer free pancakes and coffee for breakfast every morning, and organize daily free activities and tours, which are such a fun bonus and incredibly well done. I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels, but this one is easily one of my all-time favorites. If I ever come back to Maui, this is exactly where I’ll be staying again. :)

    There is nothing to hang your clothes when you are showering. The dorms are very small and almost no room for your stuff.

    Staff very friendly, great organized activities (++ for the karaoke night!), big common areas

    The only thing that could be better is having a grocery store a bit closer. There’s just a gas station one block away and a few restaurants around. The closest grocery store is about a 25-minute walk. But honestly, Howzit is still super convenient overall.

    This hostel is probably the best in Maui, even though I haven’t been to the others. It’s always clean and organized. The kitchen is big and has all the equipment you might need. The pancakes at breakfast are delicious! The staff is super careful and polite. Can’t recommend it enough!

    The Van we did our tour in didn't have any AC and the door randomly opened twice while driving.

    Amazing Stay at Howzit Hostel! Had the best time staying at Howzit Hostel! Everything was absolutely great from start to finish. The vibe is super chill, the place is clean and comfy, and the staff really made the experience unforgettable. Luke ran some awesome tours—he’s super knowledgeable and made exploring the island fun and easy. Kanzo was always around with good energy and helpful tips. Bri took us out for a relaxing beach day that was just what we needed, and Kara shared her favorite spots in ʻĪao Valley State Park, which made the visit even more special. Can’t recommend this place enough—can’t wait to come back!

    maybe have lockers in the rooms (they told me they were working on it, but at the time where I was there was none) but the girls I shared the room with were amazing, and all my stuff was safe in the room.

    IT IS AMAZING JUST GO ! I cant wait to be back, the staff was amazing, super patient, you were given everything shower towels, beach towels, you had mostly free stuff, breakfast, activities etc, but you have to tip, because they are amazing (and it's always nice to be tipped) the female dorm was great, maybe lacked a big mirror in the room,
