Hedonisia Hawaii

A truly unique place -- gives one a real chance to be out in the nature but also having the modern day conveniences like kitchen, sleeping facilities. Being eco-friendly is a part of life out here -- that's what makes this place so great for me. Also, the people who run the hostel are like a family - it's like a small community in the middle of rain forest!

Mosquitoes were terrible. if you don't have a car, the hitchhiking option is hit and miss. Best bet, stay away from the outdoor tent spaces, the "Sunnyside" tent space is by an abandoned road-grader and you can smell diesel. The "Jungle Shade" is on an uneven, very uncomfortable bed of pallets. An air mattress might make this more comfortable, but let me repeat, the mosquitoes are voracious. To wash clothes plan on $6 per load. Unless you have a car, you won't be able to explore the island as it deserves. There has been burglary here of previous guests belongings and there is no secure place to put your things. If on foot, the better idea is to stay in Hilo or the Kona side so you can at least ride the bus easily to different destinations.
