What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Most guests love the Waikiki Banyan’s location and value. It sits at the quieter end of Waikiki, 1–2 blocks from the beach, Kapiolani Park, the zoo, and loads of dining and shops. High-floor lanais deliver big views of Diamond Head, the ocean, or the mountains, and having a full kitchen plus on‑site laundry makes longer stays easy. A standout perk is the included garage parking, which saves a bundle and makes it a convenient base for island day trips.

Stays feel homey and practical. Check‑in is typically smooth via keypad codes and clear texts, and many units are clean, updated, and well‑stocked with cookware and basics. Families appreciate beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers), plenty of towels, and the kid‑friendly vibe; when open, the 6th‑floor deck has a pool, hot tubs, BBQs, and a playground. Walking everywhere is simple, and the trade winds or AC keep most units comfortable (some also have ceiling fans). If you’ll park, a compact car fits best in the tight garage.

Set expectations for an older high‑rise with ongoing projects. A major renovation of the 6th‑floor recreation deck (and some elevator replacements) has closed amenities at times and created noise and longer elevator waits; plan extra time at peak hours, use stairs if on lower floors, and confirm current status with your host. As with any condo building, unit quality varies: some are freshly remodeled, others more dated; bathrooms can be compact, sliding room dividers are common, and window AC may cool the living area more than the bedroom. Light urban noise is part of Waikiki, especially on lower floors or near nightlife. To get the best fit, verify recent photos, ask about parking clearance if you have a large vehicle, and confirm what beach gear and kitchen staples are included. Overall, reviewers rate the Banyan highly for walkability, big views, space to spread out, and the rare bonus of free parking.

Excellent and responsive host and easy to communicate with. The unit was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The updated recreation deck was impressive as were the new elevators. This unit was a gem and we look forward to booking again.

Everything was wonderful! The check in was very smooth and all information needed were provided before our landing in HI. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, with breathtaking views of Diamond Head and the ocean. We had a very comfortable stay, for a family of 3. Comfortable beds and a well equipped apartment, with everything you might need for your stay and much more. The provided parking spot was a wonderful and useful addition. Most people say they’ll be back, but we for sure planning our next stay at this amazing property already!

Apartment was super clean, well equipped with useful beach towels, umbrella, beach chairs. Beds ans sofa were comfortable.Only little downside is water from AC unit spilling into the balcony, making it challenging to keep the apart floor cleaned

Overall, it was worth to stay. The room was large enough and had almost everything what we needed. The resort has a swimming pool and barbecue area but some information has not updated yet. The rate for using BBQ area is 5/hr, not 2/hr. And there's a laundry room while the machine only accepts credit cards not coins. For three persons staying 13 nights, they only provided one toilet paper, it's obviously not enough. However, we are willing to stay here again next time.

The condo at Waikiki Banyan was more than expected!! The views and the central location was superb. The convenience of having a kitchen was worth it. Didn’t have the expense of dining out every meal. Also the convenience of free parking was well worth it also. I highly recommend this property against any hotel. Clean and well maintained. Thanks again for our beautiful first visit to the Hawaiin Islands. We will definitely be back !!

It was our first time in Hawaii and it was a wonderful time. One of the main reasons was staying at the Waikiki Banyan. The location was excellent, so close to everything and so reasonably priced. The condominium had some additional items we did not expect, like beach chairs, umbrellas, even underwater snorkeling equipment. They were a pleasant surprise and parking was a great plus! Overall, an amazing experience. Thank you for being an excellent host.

This was a great place to stay. It had everything you could need, plus a beautiful view of the ocean. Laundry was literally next door, but you could not hear the machines in the room while they were running, which was a huge bonus.Elevators were quick, building was clean overall, and the use of the parking garage being included with the rental was huge.Location was also great. Waikiki was easily walkable, with tons of restaurants and stores within walking distance as well. There's a small convenience store on site, and a small coffee shop.Overall I'd absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone that is looking for a clean, comfortable and quiet spot to stay.

Great location. Very close to the beach. Easy to park and drive around town. We will advantage of the kitchen and cooked a few meals a day to keep costs down and I honestly can eat out that much. The pool was great for kids learning to swim

This was our 7th time to go to Hawaii, but the first trip to Oahu. Maui has always been our preferred destination and we finally decided to give another island a try. This property was exactly what we needed for close proximity to Waikiki mixed with the quiet atmosphere needed after many adventures during the day. All was exactly as described! The views were amazing and we enjoyed all aspects of the property. Our favorite part was being able to walk to so many shops and restaurants. We hope to stay here again in the future!

This was our third stay at this condo and each visit has been great! The recent upgrades to the countertops and tile work were very nicely done! You can’t beat the location, being so close to the beach and the included parking is a huge savings over a nearby hotel! Our flight was delayed arriving but getting parked and into the unit was perfect, thanks to the great communications with the property manager. Once again, we couldn’t be happier with our stay!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo and would definitely love to come back!The unit was exactly as pictured – bright, clean, updated, and very comfortable. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, shoppings, restaurants, and close to everything . The beds were comfortable, and the condo had everything we needed for our trip.We especially appreciated all the thoughtful extras, including the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and pool/beach towels. Those little touches made our beach days so much easier and more enjoyable.One of our favorite features was the amazing view of Diamond Head and the ocean. We loved waking up to the beautiful scenery each morning. The pool, hot tub, and BBQ area on the 6th floor were also wonderful amenities. It was especially nice to relax in the hot tub after a long day exploring and enjoying the beach.The free parking was a huge bonus, as parking in Waikiki can be both challenging and expensive.Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waikiki. We hope to return again in the future!

The apartment was clean and is big. it's close to waikiki beach. But the kitchen was missing the forks and spoons, .We had to buy some plastic cutlery.The same for the beach towels we never founded. The toilet got clogged on the second day.The air conditioner was leaking water onto the terrace floor ,we had to use our towels to keep the floor dry to prevent and accident. The microwave!!! The only way to open the microwave door is by unplugging it in and plugging it again . .Our stay was very short only 2 nights. We contact the owner to ask for the silverware and the towels the fist night and we got and answer the next day after noontime so we solve this problems by ourself. On The bath room ,the soap dispenser was empty. I recommend that the apartment owner change maintenance staff to keep it in good condition.

Perfect Vacation The condo deserves more than 5 stars. We rent condos & houses when we travel and this is one of the BEST! It was sparkling clean & well equipped (dishwasher soap, plenty of paper products & shampoo, conditioner & shower gel were greatly appreciated) with everything we needed to be comfortable & prepare meals. We enjoyed the views of Diamond Head & the ocean from every window. The close proximity to the beach along with the provided chairs & umbrella made beach days a breeze! The recently renovated pool/spa deck is amazing too. Having parking included was a plus! Shari was easy to communicate with from start to finish. This will be our base when we visit family here!

Good location and proximity to Waikiki beach. Having a parking pass was nice if you plan to rent a car. Property is a little dated and furniture not as nice as the listing pictures. AC unit might be undersized for the space and it was difficult to fully cool down the space, particularly with the rules that it needs to be shut off when not in the unit.

I have never staid at a property that was so well equipped. The owners thought of everything one might need. The property was as advertised. If one is planning a trip to Waikiki I would strongly recommend this property. Location, views , it had it all.

Our stay was overall a good one. One thing I’d like to point out that this company doesn’t exactly advertise on VRBO is that you’ll be responsible for washing your own towels and linens if you have a long stay, which is pretty insane for the amount of money you spend. No one wants to use the same towel/beach towel for 9 days in a row or sleep on the same sheets. It’s a humid environment and towels and sheets get gross and need to be washed when you’re using them daily. That is really my only complaint about our stay and feel it’s important to point out in my review. The washer and dryer each cost 4 per pop. Just be aware of this when factoring your budget. You can order more from them but it’ll cost you. Other than that, the condo was clean and just as described. The location is wonderful and you can walk to almost anything. I would stay here again, even knowing the situation with the towels/linens.

This property was top notch with cleanliness, comfortability, and location! My husband and I enjoyed everything about this condo. This condo was thought out with care for it's clients and returning clients. The view was amazing. To sit on the couch and view the mountains was a site in itself. Cathy has this condo stocked with everything you would need for an amazing stay. I couldn't believe all that was in this condo from things you may have forgotten to things you may have not thought to bring like (umbrella) lol... Let's talk about the communications. Very clear and concise with everything. She has a manual in the condo that answers every question that you may have. The onsite pool area was just as relaxing as the beach. We spent some time at both the pool and beach! Remind you she has all the beach necessities that you may need so no need to bring any. Also I would like to mention that this condo is in a prime location with the beach being down the street. Let's talk about being close to several ABC stores and restaurants. One helpful piece of information is that The Waikiki trolley runs nearby too. Cathy we will be back and you can bet that we would choose your condo again on our next stay. Thanks again for everything! Aloha

Our stay here was only "OK." Check-in was easy, but it's unclear why we had to call the property manager when all they did was text us the code to enter the room. Perhaps just message the codes the morning of check-in? The unit appeared just as described in the ad, but everything needed a refresh. The kitchen sink handle came off making it difficult to use, and the bathroom and shower fixtures were old and needed to be replaced. The Toto washlet was a nice touch, as was the in-unit washer and dryer. The sliding doors separating the bedroom from living area constantly came off the track and were difficult to move. The AC unit struggled our entire visit and leaked water constantly in front of the sliding glass door on the lanai - needs to be replaced. Part of the reason for the insufficient cooling was that when using the dryer, I could feel the hot air venting through the top of the dryer into the room. The curtain rod over the sliding door was basically hanging off one end and also needs to be replaced. The only sofa in the unit is old and sagging - needs to be replaced. There was also a problem with insects - ants were found not only outside on the lanai along the sliding glass door, but also inside along the sliding glass door. One day, I opened a kitchen cabinet and a roach fell on me! After informing management of this, they left some ant and roach baits; however, too little, too late - these should have already been inside the unit. Not sure I would stay here again.
