Key card machine wasn’t working so front desk person had to badge us into our room first couple days. Wifi wasn’t working entire trip and host was not accommodating. Dust on floor in restroom and bedroom, had to sweep ourselves when we got in. Would not book again. Read reviews closely.

We loved staying at the Bamboo Waikiki hotel- the outdoor area with the hot tub, pool, and bar was a great way to relax during the day or in the evening. The room was clean and well stocked with paper towels and TP, extra bath towels and 2 beach towels, and had a working stove and microwave so we could make meals during our week long stay. We also used the laundry facilities on the floor above us and the washer worked great. The TV was another highlight and we used it to watch a couple of football games. This hotel is conveniently located a few minutes away from the beach, so you can easily walk to many restaurants, other hotels for tour pick ups, and the bus station (located just across the street). The amenities in the room are not very updated and it is a bit of a small space, but it still worked great for us. We would highly recommend this room to anyone wanting to enjoy their Waikiki vacation without having to break the bank.

The location is amazing and we have stayed in this unit before. The only things I would recommend is the bathroom is extremely dated and could use an upgrade. Also the mattress is very uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. It sags a great deal. Host was great getting back to us about the tub and shower rod is broken.

Fabulous location--we walked or took the bus and walked to rent a car one day. The room was clean, but tired, with worn furniture surfaces, a worn TV remote, and towel rack coming out of the wall.

I felt the location was nice. The overall pictures were misleading. The apartment could use a little TLC. Bathroom I felt was the worse. Rust around the bathroom faucet, the cold water faucet was stripped, so it was hard to get the right temperature. Shower bar broken, just very old.Not enough towels for the stay. When we arrived, the apartment had a bad smell, very old.The bed and flooring was the nicest in the apartment.So overall, we managed to make the best of it. The owners should put a little TLC into making it look like the pictures

Room as described, great location, close to beaches, stores, restaurants and bus line. Host was easy to work with and quick response to any questions. Would rent again, highly recommended.

Checking was fine. I did not get a chance to use the kitchen as I walked out in 10 minutes because the place was so poorly kept and filthy.

My visit to Hawaii was wonderful. My room was a mess. Cleaness and maintenance very poor. Manager mark would not meet on site to see. I have photos, text messages of everything. No other tenants should have to deal with what I just did. Roy g smith

The unit is small but perfectly adequate for two people. We were glad to have the kitchenette as it allowed us to save money by eating breakfast in each morning. The pool is not large but it’s lovely and shaded- a great place for a break from the afternoon heat and crowds at the beaches. We loved the location: walking distance to most of the beaches, restaurants and shops. And the AC in the unit worked great!

Stay was fine check in process extremely poor. No way of contacting host and no attempt on hosts part to contact us. We rang & texted number given with no success. Won’t use Bookabach again.

The positive is, quiet air conditioner, quiet room when balcony door is closed, comfortable bed, clean linens, pool is nice. Close to everything. Negative: Floors were absolutely filthy. They had not been cleaned for a very long time. I brought slippers and they were black on the bottom. The bathroom floor was filthy, toilet seat is broken, conduit hanging off the wall, rusty bathroom fixtures and spouts. No shampoo and the conditioner bottle half full. The property management write up said parking was 30 a day. It was 40.

We loved location and staff, but owner and property mgr needs to pay more attention. Bed is sorely in need of replacement. Most lights were blown and need bulb replacement. Unit was not cleaned and although it was resolved and credit provided, it was the P M initial response that threw us. 4 minutes before check in time and PM stated "did front desk tell you it was ready". Versus...we are sorry it wasn't cleaned, and will get unit cleaned right away. Requires we wash dishes but no dish rack proveded. But bed was the worse

Property was great and in an awesome location. The room was perfect for the two of us! Close access to the beach and all other facilities in the area. The property owners were great at communicating. The restaurant and bar were fun and the food was really good.

While the lobby seemed decent and the front desk staff was pleasant, the room was a bit disappointing. Needed some fresh paint and a deep clean. The faucet didn’t seem to work properly on the shower and the toilet seat was falling off. The bed was not very comfortable, which always makes it even worse. The parking garage was barely manageable for a mid size rental car, and there are literally about 12 spaces. The location was nice, walking distance to the beach and lots of shopping and dining. Not awful, just a disappointment. Would not recommend it.

The property is in the perfect location. There are many great food spots around along with a grocery store at Waikiki Market just a couple block west. The kitchenette is everything you need for some stovetop meals. There a is nice saltwater pool to use on the ground floor and there is a restaurant that serves hearty meals. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.

Nice central location. Comfy bed. Limited parking. Tub could use some maintenance. Bar does not have liquor license but you can take your own drinks by the pool!

Location was very Convenient. The room could use a bit of updating. The only downfall was seeing several used wet washed clothes hanging inside the shower curtain rings when we checked in. Overall, we had enjoyed our Staycation at the Bamboo.

The location is perfect walkable to the beach, Waikiki market and so many other amazing spots. Has a balcony with a little view of the ocean, pool is nice spot to relax and the front desk staff are friendly and welcoming. Communication is fast and direct. Would stay here again!

The studio condo was exactly as indicated. Close to the beach. Pool and hot tub was great. Close for pick up of tours. Walking distance to the zoo, Diamond head, restaurants and beach. Would stay there again.

This VRBO is a privately owned room in the hotel. Check in and out was quick and easy. It is located on Kuhio Street -and about a 3 minute walk to the beach. There are many restaurants in the area. We appreciated having a couple beach towels to use, as well as the beach chairs. The chairs had some rust on them, but still worked fine at the beach. There was some snorkelling equipment in the closet, but we brought our own, so we didn't look too closely at that. We made use of TheBus to go to Diamond Head, and the bus stop is nearby. The AC is quiet and the bed/pillows were comfy. We were able to walk almost anywhere we wanted to go (but also used a bus, trolley, and Uber). We did find that the tub drained slowly, and the room could have used a dusting. If you're not looking for a pricier ocean front property, this is a great location!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Very close to beach and shops. Bamboo was very quiet and serene. Thanks vrbo if it wasn’t for them we would have never found this gem. Ps don’t rent a car take the bus it will save you money.

Great location just no parking available in any of the suggested parking lots/buildings. Eventually found parking on the street but that took anywhere from 30-1 hour. Neither elevator worked upon arrival so left for a couple hours until they repaired one. Unfortunately the very next day again it went down again. I didn’t mind taking the 7 flights of stairs just was a bigger issue with my oversized luggage. Overall I liked the place and location just the elevator and parking was an issue.

The location of this apartment is perfect. Walking distance to many things. The building is quite dated, the elevator is very very slow and the unit bathroom is quite dated. Overall would stay here again.

Don't worry about size of unit because where you are...there's no reason to be in unit except light meals and rest. Location afforded us opportunity to walk to Starbucks, beach, park, restaurants and shopping. Sunset is a must just 2 1/2 blocks away. And, there's usually a morning rainbow! Appliances could have been updated as well as utensils. We chose not to cook, but rather heat up leftovers. Beach chairs probably wont last much longer, but boogie board was fun. This place is so well situated for everything Waikiki has to offer.

Our hotel was exactly where we wanted to be location wise. The pool and tiki restaurant were amazing as well! Love that the pool is open late and that the restaurant is BYOB. The room was clean and as expected. Would definitely stay here again. Walking distance to everything!!

This is a perfect place for two people. Small kitchen with everything you need along with a very comfortable king bed. This place is walking distance to every place you want to go to. TheBus stop is right in front of the building which is a very convenient and inexpensive way you can take to and from the airport (#20) if you only have a small roller bag. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. Mark, the host was very quick to reply to all my messages! Thank you Mark! We will stay here again!

We lved this cute studio type location! We were able to cook a fee meals and enjoy the balcony! All the items (umbrella, cooler etc) were either broken or nkt even there but that's totally okay! We just went to the Walmart close by and bought some items (we left them in the closet for future guest to enjoy also!) It's great being so close to everything! The beach is one street up and up are in perfect distance from restraunts and shopping! I'd recommend have another blanket like the blue one becuase it got cold at night and that one wasnt enough. But other then that it was perfect!

This was an overall great location. We were happy with how easy the check in and out was. We were expecting something a little different though. There is pretty much no parking close and that caused a little stress for us but that is it.

Property was clean but this condo needs some updating. It was noisy at night as you are on a busy street. No screen on lanai door a bird flew in our room. This property is within walking distance to downtown so that was great! Check in process was slightly annoying as you have to wait for someone to come and give you keys and you can’t check in at the desk but it all worked out in the end.
