“Open Gate Hostel offers a remote Big Island experience, set away from the bustle with comfortable rooms and helpful staff who provide rides to Pahoa; plus, the stargazing deck is remarkable. It's the cleanest ecohostel I've seen, though off-grid living brings quirks like limited electricity that guests should note. A unique choice for those seeking tranquility.”
