What People Are Saying…

“Wish I could give this experience more than 5 stars. Friendly staff, amazing community space, neat and clean rooms, amazing food and activities for visitors! Honestly wish we could've stayed longer! This was our first Hostel experience and it set the bar incredibly high! If you have any doubt about booking this place, do it, you will not regret your decision!"

“I really had no idea what to expect. This was my first solo trip and my first time in a hostel, and I’m not going to lie… I was a bit anxious about the whole thing. The moment I stepped foot in the Howzit Hostel in Maui, I instantly felt safe and excited for my trip. I love the free excursions and everyone who I met was super kind and friendly. I would 100% recommend it to anyone. Many thanks to Cara, Josh, Vickie, and Maddie for making it feel like home."

Cindy
"The lobby and facilities were pretty magical, the people were super friendly welcoming and magical, the events board was full of fun things to do. They had a group chat to communicate with other people staying at the hostel and also for the events. The breakfast was very on time and filling. Great nighttime atmosphere in the lobby. Nice chill balcony to digress or have time to yourself and enjoy the air."

Jeffrey
“Amazing hostel and very friendly stuff!! Super clean and they make fresh pancakes every morning. A huge bonus are the daily (mostly for free) tours all over the island that they offer. We did the Road to Hana Tour with them and it was great. Louis, our Tour Guide was an amazing driver and showed us stunning spots! Thank you so much!!"

Tamara
