    They did an AMAZING job cleaning my comforter! It had dirt stains on it & was pretty heavy & delicate. They got all the stains out & only charged me $53 for a king sized knitted comforter. Will be coming back!

    Little late on this review as I was out of country but now I finally have the time to write it out. I would give this place ZERO STARS if I could. Came here 1/18/24 to get a blouse dry cleaned. When I came to pick it up, I noticed two of the hooks had been ripped off. Mind you, this blouse was a little on the pricier side, around $800. First off, when receiving my blouse after it had been dry cleaned, they didn't bother to notify me that the hooks had been ripped off. I came home, checked the blouse and found out myself. As a business, you should definitely ALWAYS check the clothing items before sending it back to your customers. Called them, told them about what had happened and they told me to bring it back and they can fix it. Fast forward a bit and I came to pick it up after it had been fixed, expecting them to find the hooks that had been ripped off and reattach them. NO. They decided to use different hooks that looked NOTHING like the original and tried to pass it off as ok. I demanded they either find the same hooks or reimburse me for the top. Unfortunately, their fine print states they can only reimburse up to 10x the charge for cleaning the item regardless of the brand/price. That's only about $150.. Miraculously, I came to the conclusion to settle it with my credit card company. As an American Express card holder, I was able to file a claim and get reimbursed in full for the item. The only thing that irked me to my core was trying to get Kona Cleaners to sign off on the form, stating they weren't able to fix it. I was going back and forth through email with a man named Carlos Diaz. Extremely unprofessional. I've attached some pictures regarding the email but will not be including the entire conversation. His attitude in the emails and the way he composed them show a LOT about his character. He was also hesitant to sign any forms although I CLEARLY stated what the forms were about... Why wouldn't you want to be cooperative so that it'd solve the issue for both parties? That's what I don't understand. Why was he so hesitant to begin with? ‍ Overall, the problem had been solved no thanks to them. I ended up buying the same blouse again and now I'm stuck with one that's completely unwearable. I came here with the impression they would do great work regardless of their prices. My impression of them was utterly wrong. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. I have been nothing but kind and respectful the entire time trying to figure out this dilemma, only to be returned with attitude and unprofessionalism. Go elsewhere. This place is not worth the time nor the stress.

    If I can leave 0 star here, I definitely would. Manager can't handle the situation professionally and trying to fight back instead of being sorry, blaming us that we have "low quality suit with no care tags" that's why the suit ended up like this. Hilarious. So unprofessional. Will never ever go back here. Charging way too much but the outcome sucks. Very disappointed

    In case anyone is curious what their advertised "professional alterations" looks like. What a shame to charge customers for such awful quality.

    $21.24 to clean this dress because they charge the 'belt' separately. Ridiculous
    Mary S.

    Dry cleaning is fine however they are on the expensive side and charged me $20 to dry clean a single dress. The dress has a fabric tie around the waist area and they charged it as a separate item for $10. Won't be back.

    I would like to share my extremely unsatisfactory experience with Kona Cleaners for the benefit of potential and current customers. I also want to bring this matter to the attention of the store manager. Here are the facts of my experience: On September 5th, I dropped off 8 pieces of clothing at their store. They returned 7 of them on September 8th. I noticed that one piece was missing, and when I checked the app, it showed "in progress." I thought it was fine and decided to wait. I continued to wait until September 19th, and the missing item still hadn't been delivered. I became concerned and called the office. The lady who answered the phone was very rude with an unpleasant attitude. She informed me that my clothing was still "in progress," even though it had been 2-3 weeks since I had dropped it off. She asked me to wait for one more delivery cycle, but I was deeply concerned. After several days, I decided to call again. This time, I spoke with Omar, who told me that my situation was unusual, and he needed to investigate. Upon further inspection, he discovered that my clothing had been misplaced. He mentioned that he needed to review surveillance footage to locate it and asked me to give them one more week. On October 3rd, Omar called me to inform me that they had found my missing item. He inquired whether I wanted it recleaned, and I agreed, given that it had been missing for an entire month. They recleaned it and delivered it on the next truck. However, I was astounded to see that they had charged me twice for this missing sweater. The recleaning fee was even higher than the initial cleaning fee. What was most surprising was that they provided no apologies for losing my clothing for an entire month, offered no compensation, and yet charged me twice. I was in shock, and I contacted the office to speak with Omar. He acknowledged their error and admitted that they shouldn't have charged me the recleaning fee. He assured me that they would reimburse me for the initial cleaning fee and the recleaning fee as a form of apology. As of today, October 17th, I have only received a refund for the initial cleaning fee. The recleaning fee is still on my bill. In recounting this experience, I want to emphasize how horrendous the service and communication have been from September to October for a single clothing item. It's evident that they don't prioritize their customers, and this is not how a business should operate. I hope that the founder or senior manager of Kona Cleaners will take note of this review. My intention in sharing this is to shed light on the reasons behind my review.

    Cleaned pants, no more bacon grease!!

    9 bucks to steam a dress. I thought that was a great deal. It was done in one day as well. I'm super happy and will definitely going back.

    I come here regularly to do my laundry and have always recommended this laundromat to my friends…read moreand neighbors because I've consistently had great experiences--until today. I was washing all of my white blankets, towels, and expensive quilts in Machine #36 when it just kept spinning and never actually began the wash cycle. I had also paid extra for the Ultra Wash option. I went to let the staff know the machine wasn't working. One employee came over and tried to help but didn't seem to know how to resolve the issue. She noticed I had selected the Ultra Wash with hot water and then informed me that there was no hot water. If there was no hot water, then I didn't receive the wash cycle I paid for. I explained that these were my white blankets, towels, and quilts, and I wanted to make sure they were properly cleaned. I asked if they could simply restart the machine so I could rewash everything, but I was told they couldn't. Then Martha stepped in, and unfortunately her attitude was very dismissive. She again stated there was no hot water and said the best she could do was give me a rinse cycle. She also told me that if I had informed them before starting the machine, they would have refunded me. How was I supposed to know there wasn't any hot water before I started the wash? What upset me the most wasn't the machine malfunction--it was the lack of concern for the customer. Instead of trying to make things right, Martha told me I could go to the laundromat across the street. I had just spent well over $60 washing my laundry, including $15 for a single washer load (DOUBLE WASH), only to be told to take my business somewhere else. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I simply expected to receive the service I paid for and to have confidence that my laundry was washed correctly. Instead, I was met with indifference and a dismissive attitude that made me feel like my business didn't matter. To make matters worse, after our conversation, the employees gathered together and appeared to be talking about me. Every time I walked by, I could see their reactions, which made the entire experience extremely uncomfortable. I still had several loads of laundry to finish, but instead of feeling like a valued customer, I felt unwelcome and embarrassed. The owner has always been kind and has always seemed to genuinely care about customers, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I have a hard time believing they would approve of the way this situation was handled or how I was treated. I sincerely hope Martha receives additional customer service training so that no other customer is made to feel the way I did.

    Extremely disappointed in this laundromat. I came in to wash…read morea large rug and was using one of the larger dryers. I stepped away for a few minutes 10 minutes max and when I came back one of the female employees had taken out my rug for no reason and mentioned that she needed it and that my timer was up. What's worse is that another male customer helped her take out my stuff. The employee didn't care at all. This will most likely be the last time I come here. Hispanic Female Employee (Short Brunette Hair): Rude, lacked customer services and uneducated. Este negocio tiene que evaluar a las personas que contratan para trabajar aquí. Los empleados no son profesionales y mal educados.
