Kona Hawaii Guest House a Unique Hawaii Experience

This place is likely a scam. The photos are not accurate. There is clutter all over the property outside. Hotplate/microwave/coffee maker filthy. Mini fridge was being defrosted likely due to cockroaches. Over 50 spiders and tons of ants inside. Didn't even want to unpack it was so gross and buggy! John was nice but warned us that homeless people might come on our balcony to use the sink. John also warns in the listing he may need to come in to check on us randomly. Windows not secured and door lock super questionable. Room not clean. Bed sheets and pillow cases stained. Pay close attention to the fine print! It's pretty clear they have people demand refunds often. It's seriously worth it to pay more for a resort. You'll probably end up there anyways after seeing how unacceptable of a stay this is. Positives: fruit on the property, John is nice. Place is cheap Negatives: literally everything else.

Nice bedroom with amenities a mile from beaches, stores. Beautiful location to getaway. Very knowledgeable staff of the island provide transportation around the island, also bus routes that take you from beach to beach.

Do not stay here. Windows in rooms are broken and not able to close other than a screen. The entry driveway and entry balcony were cluttered with junk and dirty. There were so many cars in the driveway we could barely enter/park. There was rusty metal in the driveway that was not safe for children. There was a dirty plate covered in ants on the table outside of the room and owner's laundry hanging all over the balcony and table outside of the room that was supposed to be for guest use. Definitely regret booking and pre-paying. We left after 5 minutes and scrambled to find other accommodations without getting $ back.

This was a wonderful experience for us. The host is highly knowledgeable about area attractions, beaches, restaurants, flowers, birds. He also helped us through a first aid emergency. We took his advice on any and all recommendations and were happy with the results. If you are a nature loving person, you may love it here as we did. We are campers and found it charming. We loved being in the south because of the lush vegetation (whereas the north, with its golf courses and expensive resorts, is dry). We were plied with freshly-picked papaya and passion fruits daily. We awoke to the amazing number of birds singing in the area. It makes sense to have the cooking and food area be on the balcony because it prevents problems inside, in the bedroom. A wonderful family environment, warm and welcoming. We had no sanitation problems at all & will come back again!

The host was very friendly and hospitable, we really like the place that surrounded by all the trees and ocean view. Very peaceful place to stay. We tried one of the passion fruit the host offered right in front of the house. It’s was the best thing to have. Many local grown fruits. It was great experience for us.
