    Overall the environment and the ease of living. The nature at the location is beautiful with lots of birds and some very friendly brahma chickens walking around. It is not very far from the airport or many important locations and has a small town vibe.

    The Banyon Tree entrance lies on a curve from the street which is surrouded by trees and shrubs. It is difficult to find. If possible, having better notice of the property would help customers. Although, keeping it secluded may be your desire.

    The property is beautiful with flowering shrubs and trees, and a relaxing outdoor swimming pool. We loved the continental breakfasts which made our day.

    The delivered breakfast was very good. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Banyan Tree is closer to the Road to Hana and volcano side of the island.

    We were so lucky to find this little gem of a place. Banyan Tree is peaceful, beautiful, and had everything we needed. The owner, Helaina, was gracious and quick to answer any question or issue we had. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and inviting. The location is close to everything you would want to do in east Maui (nothing more than a 20 min drive). We can't wait to return!

    The Banyan Tree B&B is a peaceful, beautiful property that was perfect for relaxing. The property is about 20 minutes from the airport/city, and yet less than a mile from a small town with shopping and restaurants. We found it convenient to visit Haleakala Summit and the Road to Hana. Helena was very friendly, and we loved the room

    Calm and beautiful oasis a little bit away from the great touristic resorts. Breakfast is included and the private owners really care about the guests. A great place with a pool, a jacuzzi and a lot of space to relax together with the two "hairy" roosters. Although it takes a little bit to some touristic locations on Maui (still usually less than an hour by car), you have everything you need in Makawao close by or a little further in Paia. The advantage of the upcountry location is that it is a really good starting point for the must do trips to Hana and Haleakala, which saves you some time in the morning :P

    It was easy to miss the place because the sign was rather small and the entrance to the property is around a curve if going west on Baldwin.

    If you like the serenity of the countryside, this place won’t disappoint. Breakfast was more than enough to last until lunch. The place was surrounded with lots of big trees, beautiful shrubs and flowers. I like that it feels secluded yet it’s only a few minutes drive to the town center. Another plus is the free parking.

    Was a little sad we couldn't Hot tub on one rainy night, but understandable. As it does cost a lot to heat the Hot Tub.

    The breakfast that they leave for you was amazing and was even provided when we had an early tour. Even when we said they didn't need to bring it. It was left outside our door at 7:30am. Her daughter makes the banana bread. I normally am not a fan of Banana Bread. This was amazing! so good. I ate it every time it came in the basket. All Around Excellent! Heliana was so accommodating, she went above an beyond and it was greatly appreciated. She is very friendly! place is beautiful, and nice size room. She provided some missing items from our room right away. And even when things were outside her control, like power outages she provided a flash light ASAP. I will stay here again and have already recommended this place to a few friends. Short driving distance to the closest beach. I can't say enough good about this place and mine and my friends stay.

    I am a tea drinker and I would’ve appreciated if the electric hot water kettle was stainless steel or glass as opposed to plastic. I don’t like heating water in plastic because it leeches into your water.

    The breakfast was so yummy! Everything was absolutely ideal and the location for us was perfect. The pool is so nice and has a gorgeous view for sunset. It was a huge plus that it was a saltwater pool because I don’t want to dip my baby in chlorine. The fuzzy footed chickens are so fun for kids to play with too!

    The room didn’t have AC but there were fans and it was cool enough at night in late may that we didn’t need it.

    Beautiful property with spacious rooms. The pool and yard in the back overlooks the Central Valley of Maui and west Maui and is just stunning to watch the sunset.
