The stay was peaceful and the staff were supprtive of travelers. The location is near a bike /walking path and on the ocean. The dorm room had more private type bunks. (see below) It is a great deal.

After reading several reviews on tripadvisor, I was uncertain what I was walking into when I began my stay at the Kauai Beach House Hostel. I was anticipating a hostel that was dirty, mosquito-ridden and with the ongoing drama of couples having sex in the upstairs couples'/women's bunk room and of creepy Americans hanging out. Happily, the Hostel turned out... More

I was in Kauai last July and I stayed one night and had the worst night of sleep ever. The whole facility just has a dirty creepy feel and the bedding seems dirty. LOTS OF MOSQUITOS EVERYWHERE. And the windows are not secure so there are lots of bugs in the rooms. I would not recommend staying here at all.... More

I was visiting Kauai for the second time full of concerns where to stay for one week for little money. My past 2008 bad experience with International Hostel (read my other review) brought me to Kauai Beach House with not big expectations. From the main road side this place does not look attractive and even strange especially if you see... More

The lady that runs the show is trying to be your mother, the place was filled with Americans looking for that island dream and most where so weird it was hardly worth bothering to talk to them, the female dorm is combined with couples aswell so had the pleasure of hearing people have sex!!!!! The place is a breeding ground... More

Reading prev. reviews put me off. Guess new mgr. has turned things around. Felt safe. Belongings left on bed or shelf NEVER touched. Cubbies w/mosquito nets & privacy curtain across front of queensize bed in women's dorm (8). Beach door locked 9:30 pm, but could get in front if you came in late. Night watchman in front.

Me and my 15 year old son stayed at the Kauai Beach House for the final 4 days of our 16 day Kauai trip. We stayed in the private Blue Lagoon room that looks out on the ocean and palm trees. The room was small and nothing fancy. Just a bed, no closet. At $70.00 it seemed a bit overpriced,... More

It was my first time to Kauai and one of the many reasons I look forward to returning, is because of my experience at Kapa'a Beach House. When my friend and I arrived we were greeted by Lorna, who is a new manager of the hostel. She is awesome! She handles the important logistics of running such a place while... More

First and foremost, the peoples writing reviews on this beautiful place have a round trip ticket back to their lame dehumanizing jobs. Kauai beach house is rock solid for a place to stay. It's 30 bucks for a bunk, full kitchen, hot showers, and a chill place to hang out. You may be able to swap stay for work/trade, etc.... More

First, I've actually stayed here twice and both times were horrible! The first time in September, Labor Day weekend we were set up in a private room when we arrived mid afternoon. We didn't feel comfortable leaving our belongings there so we took them with when we drove around the island. When we returned someone else was in our private... More
