This was my first time staying in a hostel and Howzit made it the experience of a LIFETIME! The staff was amazing and made such an effort to connect with all the guests on a personal level with group activities. The community is super friendly and people are incredibly generous with sharing car rentals, including others in plans, etc. Makena, a staff member, was amazing and took a couple of us snorkeling at Baby Beach on her day off! The staff really cares about making sure everyone has fun and is super safe!

For the price it's a great deal. It's hard to keep the building in great shape when so many are coming through for a short period of time. I appreciate it was an available option to the price I paid when I needed a place to rest my head.
