Frommer's Review
True to its name, Affordable Hawaii offers an inexpensive perch from which to explore the South Kona Coast. Come share ex-California resident Nita Isherwood's century-old 4-acre farm, which is overflowing with macadamia nuts, coffee, avocados as big as footballs, tropical fruits, and even jaboticaba, an exotic fruit that makes a zingy jam and local wine. The least expensive room is inside the old farmhouse (hey, at $70 a night, this is a deal!). The Greenhouse wing has two rooms with wooden floors, big windows, and private entrances. The most unusual accommodation is the old coffee barn, updated into a rustic room for two with a raised queen-size bed, a fabulous view of the coastline, and an outdoor shower. Guests can use a common kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, hot plate, and barbecue grill.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
