Beautiful setting
We enjoyed our stay and it was very comfortable. We had a king room. No A/C but windows to open for breeze. I was happy I packed a very small portable fan which really helped when it rained but it was still warm. We had to close the windows to keep the rain out. Snacks left in the room were nice and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you!

Eco-friendly
Eco-friendly experience with a few bumps. Only received 5 breakfast tickets, should have got 6 to Mr. Ed's bakery, which was a great place.

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

Fantastic place (some caveats)
Fantastic place and exactly as described. Mat was very helpful when our check-in instructions didn’t make it to us, and the information on site is really helpful too. The beds were really comfortable (we got the private room with 2 queens), and you can’t beat the views. Also really loved the treats left for us and the breakfast vouchers.
Some things to consider/know:
1) Room: One of the queen beds is in a loft accessed by a ladder. If you don’t have someone in your party who can manage that, you may want to reconsider.
2) General: This is a shared space. The room is private, but the bathroom is shared, as is the rest of the space. People seemed to be respectful of the quiet hours, but outside of that, you may hear/run into others. If that’s an issue for you (like, if you really want your own space and your own bathroom), you’ll want to reconsider.
3) Driving: It can be a little rough, but if you drive cautiously and mindfully, you should be totally fine (if you put the address in Google maps, it may take you a different way that has a much longer stretch of gravel road that is rough driving). What worked for us was putting Mr.Ed’s Bakery in Google maps and then we just kept going straight through the ravine until we hit the gravel road and looked for the Hamakua Guesthouse sign on the right.

An Experience in Itself
So happy to have found this place. Quite an unique experience to sleep in hammocks and share communal bathrooms, kitchen, and living space. Beautiful view of the ocean and not far from Hilo if you want dinner in a restaurant. Love the commitment to the environment and a lower-cost alternative to an otherwise expensive island. It is very European concept though American-owned. Hammocks were fairly comfortable and despite a lot of rain we stayed dry in our cabana. We are 60-years old though former scout leaders. Get the deluxe cabana, which is closer to the bathrooms.

Unique location; beware bathroom access
This was a unique experience and setting.
The listing should make clear that not only is there a shared bathroom but access to it requires going down a stairwell
For those of us who need that access at night, not easy.
