What people are saying

Very few places on this planet (and I like to think I've been to a decent number of them) have made me feel as happy and at home as the Banana Bungalow.

Johnson Song

This place is amazing! True aloha spirit. Safe, comfortable, unique and lively. As a solo female traveling I felt reassured as soon as I got here. Come support local businesses and experience a home away from home. You won’t want to leave!

J B

The Bungalow is a really magical wild place and I’m so grateful to have experienced it. It’s a safe place to be yourself. It’s a place for open-mindedness, radical acceptance, and cultivating genuine connection.

Kait Lopes

One of the only places I have ever been in my life where I truly felt alive and at peace.

Cameron Macht

If you’re young, or young at heart, few hostels can compare with the vitality of this one. A constantly changing, international crowd of 20-somethings generates more pure fun here than anywhere else on the island.
