2 Star Honest Review of "Five Star Cleaners" and Owner Jade…read more(Lengthy but worth the read if you're considering this company) This is my honest experience with Five Star Cleaners, run by Jade, and why I unfortunately cannot recommend this company. I was in search of a move-out cleaning for my ohana rental and needed a reliable, reputable company to take on the job. I found Five Star Cleaners, and Jade sent an amazing cleaner named Chelsea, who did a fantastic job on a small test area. That experience gave me confidence in their quality of work. As a homeowner, I'm careful when hiring service providers -- especially when I'm not going to be physically present -- so I planned this cleaning a full month in advance. We scheduled a team of 4 cleaners, at $120/hr, for roughly 3-5 hours. Everything was confirmed: my proxy (a trusted friend) would be there in my place as I would be off-island, and multiple cleanings were lined up. A week before the job, I checked in with Jade to confirm everything and asked for a detailed list of what the cleaning would include (e.g. baseboards, windows inside and out, cabinets, full deep clean, etc.). I also mentioned I'd like the invoice to clearly reflect the services for documentation purposes -- in case anything came up with my tenant's security deposit and I needed it for small claims. That's when Jade suddenly became uncomfortable and said this was "concerning." I clarified that I wasn't threatening legal action or involving her in a dispute -- I simply needed a clear invoice, as any homeowner would, to show a judge the unit had been professionally deep-cleaned (as required by my lease). I explained this is standard procedure, and no liability or risk would fall on her or her team. Just a paper trail. However, Jade insisted she didn't want to be "caught in any legal crossfire" and pulled out of the job entirely, just one week before the scheduled date, leaving me scrambling just days before I was scheduled to leave the island. She refused to speak on the phone to clarify things or resolve the misunderstanding. All communication abruptly stopped. To make matters worse, Jade then blocked me on Facebook and all other communication channels, presumably to avoid accountability and prevent a negative review -- rather than taking ownership or having a respectful conversation as an informed and professional business owner should. That behavior alone speaks volumes. This last-minute cancellation was a major inconvenience and unnecessary stress, especially after a month of coordination. I had trusted this company to follow through -- and instead, they dropped out without any real attempt to problem-solve. That is not professional in my opinion. To be clear, I don't wish Jade or her business any harm -- but I do not consider this company reputable based on this experience. In Hawaiʻi, where it's already difficult to find trustworthy cleaning services, this situation only made things harder. If you're a homeowner or property manager needing reliable, professional, and communicative service -- I would encourage you to look elsewhere. This wasn't it.

I have read more than one review on other sites where the same incident happened to them. We booked a house through the website. Picked our correct dates, and then had email correspondence with one of the owners, Tina. The email header/subject was our correct dates. We had booked this house about 9 months in advanced to be very prepared. It was me, my husband, baby and 2 other couples. I even emailed tina a couple weeks before because I had a bad feeling and confirmed again the dates we were coming (April 2019) where she agreed. Two days before we were set to arrive I emailed them again and confirmed there would be a crib. Tina responds "yes we will have a crib for you for your trip in 2020". Naturally I freaked out and asked tina to call me she called me and I explained all our emails and conversations have mentioned the actual dates. She pretty much acted like it wasn't her problem and I hung up on her. I think she looked back at conversations because when my husband called her she was incredibly apologetic and gave us a full refund (ONLY REASON THEY ARENT GETTING 1 STAR!). She explained that she looked everywhere for somewhere to put us but every single thing on the island was booked. Lucky for us, I did a simple google search and found a FANTASTIC place, of course not managed by Aloha vacation rentals. I tried to figure out what went wrong, so went to their website and tried again to pick exact dates to schedule, it then takes you to a new page where the calendar changes to 2020! Out of no where! Very poorly done site. Very poorly done communication. But was refunded and we found another place so it all worked out in the end for us. But don't book through website.

I was really disappointed after the appointment because I noticed throughout the following day or so that there were many areas that were still dusty or dirty - specifically the windows and the oven. Almost all of the areas of the house that had been worked on, I went back over to clean myself almost immediately because they were either streaky, half-done, or not at all touched. If I had known that my expectations weren't going to be met for the session/service, I wouldn't have set it up. When I reached out to let Priscilla know 1:1 that I had concerns about the service, I didn't get a response. Due to what looked like low-effort work, being an hour and a half late, poor planning, and poor communication, I would not recommend this company to others and will not be reaching out in the future.
