Banyan Tree Bed and Breakfast

Everything about this place is just amazing. You can view sunsets from the garden. We stayed at Bamboo studio - great for group of friends as it has 4 beds and 2 bathrooms. It was very clean, specious and very cosy. The grounds and pool were very nice. It was outside of the town so very peaceful but close to shops, restaurants and beach. Breakfast muffins were delicious - one of the best I ever had.

This has to be the best value in all of Maui. The Banyan room is so spacious and very nice/clean. There is no A/C, but it's such a perfect temperature overnight that sleeping with the windows open is very peaceful and refreshing. Breakfast was brought to the room every morning promptly at 6:50am and consisted of 1 hardboiled egg, 1 baked good (muffin, banana bread, croissant), 1 package of granola bar, and 1 yogurt. (All of this is per person in the room - we had 2 people so there was double of everything). There is a pool and hottub on the property and is very nice to use. Very short drive from the airport.

We had a great stay here! Perfectly located to explore around Upcountry in Maui. Helaina was a kind, hospitable and gracious host! The rooms were thoughtfully appointed and very comfortable. Parking was ample and easy. The pool and hot tub were wonderful as well! The grounds of the property are stunning. Will definitely stay here again!

My parents stayed at Banyan Tree for a few days this past July and were treated to a marvelous experience of Upcountry Maui. I recall reading an older review to the effect that their swimming pool may have been in disrepair at some point (?), but what I witnessed with my own eyes was a sparkling paragon of beauty. :) My only (minor) suggestion for improving the experience of their guests would have been to offer a slightly more thorough tour of the room, as it took my parents a full day to notice the filtered water spout by the refrigerator... The step up from the bedroom into the bathroom seemed to pose a potential safety hazard as well. Will definitely be sending future guests here! Maui is blessed to have such a space.

We loved our stay at the Banyan Tree BnB. Helaina was an amazing host who was able to help us out every single day even with our hectic schedule. The room was so nice, the whole complex was absolutely stunning and we wish we stayed here longer. Helaina had so many different recommendations for us in the surrounding area that were all so great. The breakfast every morning was also way above what we expected. For the price of staying here, this was absolutely a great deal. We want to return very badly.

Beware: this B & B does not in any way match the description or photos on their website. The scum-filled cold water "pool" was a disgusting black pond. The Jacuzzi was sealed off and unavailable. The grounds were totally neglected and unkempt, our porch dirty and unswept. The cottage itself was damp and clammy, with no stove and no heat source. "Breakfast" was: prepackaged instant oatmeal (no milk), a day-old muffin, a hard-boiled egg, and one banana. |We arrived late at night in the dark (having let the manager know our scheduled arrival). There was no light, no note, no answering the phone number posted in the office, and no signage on the grounds. We wandered around in the dark and bushes, literally over broken glass and other debris, to find our cottage.|Coming from the main highway, we could never find the driveway, because the foliage obscured the entry. There is no light or reflector to mark the entrance. This added extreme stress to our stay.|Whatever changes or tragedy may have happened to the management of the Banyan Tree B and B, it is not the same place that it appeared to be five years ago. It is now a neglected and unpleasant place to stay, and I would strongly encourage people to look elsewhere, so as not to be severely disappointed as we were. I have stayed at many B & Bs over the years, and this is undoubtedly the worst experience I have ever had. This accommodation had a huge negative impact on my first trip to Maui.

We wanted someplace quiet for a few nights upcountry. The Banyan was perfect. We loved our casita, appreciated the coffee machine and the delicious breakfast left for us each morning. The pool is large with a great view to the ocean. beautiful grounds. A great place to kick back. Helaina was a lovely host.

Great location! Helaina is super sweet and helpful. Quiet location that just far enough from the city centers to feel more private, but close enough that it’s an easy drive to restaurants or the beach. The salt water pool and the jacuzzi are both really nice to relaxing in. Perfect spot for just getting away from the noise of the city and relaxing. Definitely recommend staying here!

My friend and I were in the middle of a bike touring trip in Maui, when a storm hit--the rains were insane and there was lightning, high winds, water flooding the roads. We made it to Makawao and took shelter on a shop porch. After a few hours of waiting for the storm to pass, we realized that it wasn't going to happen and started trying to find nearby lodging for the night. After calling several places that were either too far away or closed due to covid, we tried The Banyan Tree and the owner Helaina took pity on us and gave us the last room, even though it was extremely short notice and she was really busy dealing with the deluge of water on the property. She was so nice--met us in the downpour with fluffy dry towels and later offered to make us a pizza because she knew we didn't have a car to go get food. We stayed in one of the cottages with two beds and it was great. The beds were comfortable, there's a full, well-equipped kitchen, and it was just nice and clean and quiet. There's also a beautiful view of the valley from the garden and a huge, awesome-looking pool/cabana/hot tub area (although we obviously didn't get to use it). So highly recommend staying at the Banyan Tree, especially in the event of a severe multi-day rainstorm!

Excellent place, very clean rooms with a picturesque setting. Also has a clean pool and lawn with outdoor gazebos. Friendly and sweet hosts; they also deliver breakfast outside the room with a bow :)

We love staying here at the Banyan Tree! It is clean, beautiful and so peaceful. We have stayed in two different rooms so far and I loved both of them each time. Marty does a great job making sure you feel comfortable and at home. My kids LOVE the pool here. It's big and there is a jacuzzi too!

Ok, to start with the good. Cozy little place nice pool, maybe nice hot tub. Very quiet rooms with plenty of space. Tons of fresh fruit We stayed in Gardena room Now my big list of bad: first I don't mind paying over 200$ for a room but there are things I expect. We got there in time to meet the clerk who took us to our room. First the door only opens about a food and a half (clerk said nothing ). Cool we check out the room, he tells us he is heading out key is already I the room. Awesome......we look for maybe 5 mins..no key. Luckily he was still on the office, so we go tell him. He says no no its in the room, walks us back and looks around the room......can't find it. So if we had gotten there 30 mins later we would have had no key. Ok so at this point we start getting settled in and making plans for the next day. Realize we need to leave at 6 ( they bring breakfast at 730) so we call the number we have and ask the guy if we can have it to tonight or pick it up. Straight up tells us nope I left about 5 mins ago and I'm not coming back up there tonight. Cool so we paid 200$ for a B&B and we don't get one of the Bs now. Sigh aight just been that kind of day. Sit down on one of the beds....and is so squeaky that I can hear it in the shower. Was so bad we couldn't sleep on it and had to sleep in other bed. Finally the room is so hot and the fans(desk fans) are so cheap and loud they are unusable if you want any sleep. Oh yea no coffee and no bath products of any kind We are from oahu, won't be back here on any future trips

Cute little shabby-chic cottages nestled in a garden-like setting. We stayed here just one night (just needed a place to crash the day we arrived before hitting the Hana Highway) in the Gardenia Cottage. It was a large, open and airy studio with both full-sized and queen-sized beds which is a plus. There is a small kitchenette, a full bathroom and a small back porch with a hammock. The space is bright and clean. The next morning they deliver a modest continental breakfast to your back porch, consisting mostly of fresh fruit from their grounds. It's a quick 7-10 minute drive from Paia where all the eateries are, so keep this in mind when planning your stay. Overall I would recommend this B&B for a short stay just to see that part of the island. Other than that it may be too far removed as a home base if you want to visit other areas.

Great, peaceful b&b. Kudos to Marty (the owner). Love the swings and hammock, fun things to do (salt water pool, ping pong, bounceless basketball, whirlpool if it is working) and the hot cocoa. Clean and optional fire pit available. Best part, apple bananas, fresh fruit trees to pick and enjoy (grapefruit was plentiful when visiting). Yoga studio is very nice.

Our cottage was the Ginger, the smallest unit; it was in a one story building that shared a wall with the office that shared a wall with another cottage. Marty was quite pleasant!The Ginger was simply decorated, clean in appearance, the bathroom was large and the bed was comfortable. The grounds were manicured with lots of tropical plants but the outdoor equipment, and furniture needed cleaning and updating. It wasok but not luxurious! The 3 stars are an adequate rating. We did leave before our stay was complete because the mosquitos were using me as food for the winter; I am sure I am alergic to them. My suggestion would be a fan needed to keep the air circulating.

Stayed here for three nights on my honeymoon - good value for the money. It's about a mile away from the main drag in Makawao, so while it's not walking distance from anything, it is centrally located in relation to a lot of cool stuff in the East part of the island. The staff was friendly and we liked the pool. Great relaxed, quiet vibe. Also, you're right next to what is IMHO, one of the prettiest parts of Maui - the sugarcane fields all along the drive down Baldwin Ave from Makawao to Paia.

Super great place to stay! Great location and owners. Away from the crowds but still close enough to the beaches and town.

We had the pleasure of our 4th staycation at Marty's amazing Banyan Tree House. We look forward to this annual event with stars in our eyes. From the moment we pull into the driveway, we feel the peace and serenity that the Banyan Tree House offers. Although we have had the fortune of staying in several of the cottages, our favorite is the Gardenia, with a full sized refrigerator and private back lanai. We were visited several times daily by the amazing Kado - resident cool cat. We are early risers and can't wait to see what one surprise breakfast goodie awaits us, along with our morning array of fresh apple bananas, fresh pineapple, yogurt, English muffin, and apple juice. We utilize the wonderful pool and hot tub daily. We love you Marty and Helena - as always, mahalo for making us feel like family!! Bob and Tina

A group of us rented the whole place while we were on the island for a wedding. Amazing bright airy rooms, gorgeous spot, nice staff and close to the hippie town with the healthy grocery. I hop I'll make it back some day!

Food was awesome! We really enjoyed our meal. The views are amazing! After dinner it was a blast walking down the path to the beach, the grounds are very well kept. This place is a gem.
