Pineapple Park Kona

These are the plantation owner descendants of the evil pirates in Chief of War! They should pay their staff if they charge a $10 cleaning fee.

I was over charged, by 20 dollars. at the property. didnt catch til next day. very disappointed.

The property had shared two bathrooms and restrooms with common wash basin. Smaller rooms usually better only for single person. Extra $22 cleaning fee which was never mentioned in charges for HostelWorld booking. Also late fees are $20 if checked in after 9:30 pm. Beware of extra hidden charges not mentioned during the booking.

I truly don't understand the positive reviews. The pricing was atrinomical, especially for a hostel. Not to mention when I arrived they then charged me an extra $30 on top what I owed for an 'overnight stay fee'?? I'm sorry what? We had an activity booked and only staying for the one night so we sucked it up and stayed since we didn't have time to find somewhere else to sleep. Check in took forever! Since it's hard to find good help, room was dirty, showers were ice cold & was extremely noisy.

I chose a private room that was advertised at $130 for my partner and myself, and was totally blown away by the overpricing and under-delivering. The showers and toilets were under a seating area, all open air with closing doors, the washer and dryer were secured with Masterlocks, the kitchen wasn't appealing to step foot into, and our room was one of the noisest places I've ever slept. But it's a hostel. $130 would be okay on the Big Island for a single night, right? How about $185?

My experience here was very bad, my last day taking out my luggage, one of the people who works there started yelling at me because I had taken out an alo vera plant, she broke the plant in front of me and threw it in the trash. she began to tell me you can't cut this plant, it's mine, I planted it, you can't. Her energy was the worst, and the day before I asked for help because my car had no battery and they didn't help me. I do not recommend this place, the attention is very bad and unhelpf

The property is fine. My biggest complaint was the horrible encounter (or lack of encounter) with the staff. We arrived at the property and followed the path to the front desk to check in. There was no one at the check in desk and the sign there gave you a few options. We attempted to reach the property owner/manager and were left out to dry. It took over an hour for the property owner/manager to show up and complete check in (even though we found out she was there the whole time).

Not sure how this hostel is since they don’t answer the phone, text, or email. When I needed help to ask about my stay they ignored me so my friends and I had to sleep in our car and then booked another place for the rest of our stay. Really bad communication and service, I’d recommend another hostel instead - the one I ended up at was Kona beach hostel.

Beautiful property and lovely land around but would have love to have been informed before that cockroaches just sort of live there because of the tropics. The owner was lovely and helpful, we just didn't quite feel clean at any point. If you are okay with cockroaches its worth a stay but if youre spooked by them I do not suggest it.

Insanely expensive for a tiny closet with a lumpy mattress. Loud. Staff was kind enough to let me arrive late as I had been at the hospital with my son who was in a bad accident.

I loved my stay at Pineapple Park, it was homely, relaxing, super neat, clean and organised and staff were friendly and helpful!

Friendly people, clean place, nice beds, a little humid but theres fans in each room. Has a very welcoming this is everyone’s home kinda vibe. 10/10

Very clean, very quiet. Staff were very hospitable. Location is great. Out of the city, quiet, great outdoor area as you can see the beach.

Es war sehr sauber. Alles sehr einfach, aber uns hat nichts gefehlt, bis auf paar Haken im Zimmer und eine Umrandung am oberen Bett. Es ist ohne Auto sehr abgelegen. Einkauf eine Mile zu Fuß und ein wunderschöner aber steiler Trail (ca 2h runter und rauf) zum Cook-Denkmal und toller Schnorchel-Spot. Der Coffee-Shop direkt gegenüber und der Meerblick vom Hostel waren super schön. Sehr sehr ruhig hier.

Great stay. Clean rooms, relaxing outdoors common space with coverage from weather. Proper showers and restrooms. Would absolutely stay again.

This is a nice hostel. I rated "value" low because I booked thru HostelWorld at one rate, was told by site this rate wasn't guaranteed. OK. Now I see I also paid an additional 15% to HostelWorld. Not sure where the error lies (or more importantly, the fix); I've texted Pineapple Park ...

I was over charged, by 20 dollars. at the property. didnt catch til next day. very disappointed.

This place really surprised me. The entire property is very clean and well kept. Both Sally and Annie were so sweet and helpful and I really appreciated their welcome. This place feels like a home, full of the aloha spirit. Highly recommend it.

Fabulous!!! Sally is a rock star❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎

I loved my stay at Pineapple Park & can’t wait to go back. Annie is a wonderful host.

Really cool hostel in South Kona with a beautiful view. I had a private room, fridge, and bathroom. The location was nice for exploring South Kona, ~45 mins from KOA. Free parking. Quiet. Only negative was the mold in the shower.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Upgraded my accomodations for a more comfortable stay.

Great little place with its own little world behind the front security door. I only experience a mixed dorm ( was by myself) on the bottom floor but there is a lot more to the place than you first see walking in. Great place to stay. Staff was amazing and yea. Would recommend to anyone

I have lived on Big Island for thirty years, and have passed this place, never thought of staying or recommending it to guest. I decided to take a snorkeling trip to two step and did not want to drive home to HILO. So stayed here. I loved it! and I can't wait to stay again for more than one night. The place is spotless, although a little worn, very Hawaiian style. The kitchen has everything needed to cook and serve a meal. I had a private room. All good

This was by far one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Anna was so gentle to us by the time we arrive and she has such great energy. The hostel is perfectly organized, super clean and the decoration is super neat! I would definitely stay there again if I go back to the big island. People are sleeping on it!

Anna was a great host, the place was very clean, and the decor was awesome 😎 I would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to check out the Captain Cook area.
