During your stay Important: AirBnB Reviews As a Superhost, I do everything I can to create a positive experience and ensure that my home meets your expectations based on my listing description, location, and price. Good reviews enable me to continue offering my home as a safe, comfortable and economical place for visitors to stay. Please note: Airbnb ratings are not like hotel ratings. An overall rating of 5 stars means that you were happy with your stay based on the price you paid -- please don't compare my humble accommodation to the Ritz! For value and pricing please consider Maui prices and understand why I strive to keep my prices down for people. Local hotel nightly rates range from $281 plus (at a small dingy old smelly place downtown Kahului) to the hundreds and sometimes thousands of $ per night. Airbnb considers a score of less than 5 as a 'fail' -- if my average rating drops below 4.8, I will lose my Superhost status, and if it drops below 4.7, I risk having Airbnb remove my listing from the platform altogether! (This is no joke). The 'Overall Experience' star rating is based on the question, "How did your stay at Joanna’s place compare to expectations?" 5 * * * * * Perfection does not exist, but we were happy here. 4 * * * * * Several issues need to be improved. 3 * * * Major problems that should be fixed immediately. 2 * * Close it down at once. 1 * Put these hosts in jail. We always strive to give our guests a 5 star experience. Please let us know any problem you may have during your stay and we will do everything within our power to solve it. Other things to note We named this room the Pono room. Pono meaning harmony. Our vibe with this room is healing and restoration for whomever chooses to stay with us.
