    The B&B is close Hilo but in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Thanks to Lory and Stewart for the great tips and helping out with the car. We especially enjoyed the fruits from the garden and the tips for things to do :)

    This is a lovely B&B in a quiet neighborhood in Hilo. My friend and I have stayed here for five nights. It gives you a “homy” feeling with a Hawaiian vibe. The property is within walking distance from Rainbow Falls and Boiling pots, and it is not too far from other attractions, such as the Liliuokalani Gardens and the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens… The hosts, Lory and Stewart, are very friendly. Daily breakfast includes tropical fruits (some picked from the property’s garden!), home-baked banana cakes and muffins, eggs, and yogurt. Overall, it was a very healthy breakfast! The romantic ambience of this facility is something you won’t get from staying in a commercial hotel. Highly recommended!

    What an enjoyable stay my husband and I had at Old Hawaiian B&B. The breakfast incorporated fresh fruits from the property’s garden and was just the type of meal we were hoping to find on a tropical island. Our hosts were gracious, knowledgeable, and helpful. We enjoyed the peaceful setting as well as the exotic birds we found on the property.

    Driveway could be a challenge for someone in an unfamiliar rental due to the narrow lane and adjacent drainage area. Walls are a bit thin, we could hear the other guests

    The breakfast was fantastic...each day a new variety or combination of local fresh fruit, yogurt, egg, fresh bread, a juice and coffee. The room was cozy and had everything we needed and the grounds were filled with palm and fruit trees. It was a short walk to boiling pots and 10 minute drive to central Hilo and 50 minutes to Volcano National Park.

    This really is a gem of a place. The fruit breakfast in a wonderful garden with home baking is a great start to the day. The hosts will offer advice and help on what to see or where to go. There are guide books and lists of local restaurants to hand as well. The rooms are charming with attentive detail to comfort and decor. You can walk to Rainbow Falls if you are feeling energetic or take a slow stroll to Boiling Pots. There is space to park hire cars off road.

    Lovely hosts and we had a great time chatting with new friends during communal breakfast! The B&B was located in a very quiet residential neighbourhood and felt very safe compared to downtown. But still sufficiently close to main areas (<10min drive). We loved our stay and still think about Spike the resident cat.

    The Bambo room's bathroom was very small. I couldn't dress in it nor even reach below my knees to wash in the shower. Very grateful for the grab bar they added or I wouldn't have been able to get off the toilet. Definitely only thin, agile, short or average sized people should rent this room.

    I loved the ambience of the backyard. It was beautiful and the sounds at night were spectacular. Lori was very friendly. I liked that our rooms were next to each other and under the porch. Bed was comfortable. Would book the Sunrise room or try the one on the end.

    Very much humidity, and no way to remove it in the rooms. Everything was damp No lock on toilet doors always deducts a little.

    Great host who served breakfast from the garden with explanations of the fruits.
