Hostel Alternative began as a popular Airbnb option, "The Plumeria", offering affordable, quality accommodations to both visitors and locals in Hawaii. With over 20 years experience of the needs of budget-conscious travelers, we provided a gateway to Hawaiian hospitality without the hefty price tag.

Today, we've transformed our experience and expertise into a bridge connecting people with the places they want to explore and the experiences they wish to have.

Our mission is to continue supporting the community by helping local businesses and property owners amplify their visibility and reach, bringing visitors directly into their lives, and offering sustainable ways to experience Hawaii.

"Due Diligence" Reminder
Hostel Alternative serves as a bridge between travelers and hosts. As such, it is imperative for guests to perform thorough due diligence before finalizing their stay. This includes contacting accommodations and understanding the terms of their stay. While Hostel Alternative facilitates these connections, the responsibility for ensuring a safe and satisfactory arrangement rests with the traveler.

Split and Save: Flexible Travel Accommodation

Enjoy a cost-effective getaway by sharing the expense of a monthly rental with family, friends, or other travel-goers. Splitting the cost means you can relax and unwind without stretching your budget. Consider connecting with other travelers to divide the accommodation into weeks or different time periods among different guests during the 30 days.  This does not need to be a calendar month, but any consecutive 30 days at your group’s convenience. This approach allows each traveler to enjoy a comfortable stay while only paying for the time they need. By organizing your travel plans with others, you can make your vacation more affordable and arranged at your convenience.

Please note, all connections and arrangements are the personal responsibility of the travelers.

Browse our properties suited for longer stays and plan a comfortable,
affordable vacation together (or separately at different times during the
extended stay). Your group’s total number may not exceed the maximum
guest capacity stated in the listing.
