Really, not a thing was off! I believe our hosts anticipated every need! Wish we could have met them to tell them how much we enjoyed their lovely property!

There was so much to like! The cottage was roomy, clean, and comfortable with all the amenities. The shower was amazing! The outdoor spaces--lanais, pool, hot tub--were lovely and had wonderful ocean views--a block or so away but still visible. And the breakfasts were a bonus touch--fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, and other options to start the day. The owners were away, but their son was wonderfully welcoming and responsive!

Steve was a great host! As he welcomed us, he provided us with an overview of our Queen Suite and the property's amenities. He also gave us dinner recommendations. The breakfast was simple, but delicious, and included locally grown fruits. Pictures on Booking.com are true to life. The location was north of downtown Hilo and was great! There is beach access (Honolii Beach - I believe that is what it was called) which is a short walk down the street from the property, We loved watching the surfers. A few miles north of the B&B is a scenic route. It has amazing scenery of the beach and cliffs and is home to Onomea Trail.

Honestly, we didn’t want to leave this place, it felt like home from the moment we arrived. The room is huge, with plenty of space and a cozy living area where you can truly relax. Everything was immaculate. The property is beautifully maintained, with a pool and a lovely terrace where you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast. We didn’t have much time to get to know the owners since they were out of town for most of our stay, but the few interactions we had were warm and friendly. The location is perfect. The property is in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood just 10–15 minutes from downtown Hilo. At first, we were unsure about not being right in the city center, but honestly, you wouldn’t want to be once you see this place. It offers the best of both worlds: tranquility and easy access to town.

The bed was super comfortable and the backyard was very mellow to hang out in at the end of the day. We also loved the chirping frogs. Breakfast was bagels with cream cheese, granola and yogurt, coffee and fresh fruit.

From near dawn there will be continued loud birds frogs sounds outside the window until into midnight. There is a major cemetery just outside the property at the Main Street.

Beautiful house with pool and fish pond walking distance to the front surfers beach. It’s near Hilo centre and Akaka falls. The owners Sue and Steve will go beyond to help anything you need.

Orchid tree is exceptionally beautiful, totally solar powered with a beautiful pool, hot tub and landscaping, a large lanai for relaxing and the room is truly large with lounge able furniture , pristine clean. Many places we’ve stayed give you pictures that don’t really represent the place when you arrive. However orchid tree is wonderful as are the hosts, both friendly and responsive ! Breakfast was just fine with fresh fruit, yogurt, granola and a good selection of Juices , breads, cream cheese, etc as well as freshly ground coffee. (Plenty for us but if you are an egg type there’s always places in town). But the lanai, the waves crashing, the superb coffee, we didn’t need more!

I have no complaints!

The property was stunning and inviting, located in a highly convenient area. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, offering a delightful variety of breakfast options. I particularly enjoyed the fresh, locally grown fruit in season. Having parking available on-site was an added bonus.

Breakfast was ok but was definitely was a bonus. could have used some blinds in the upper windows, the neighbors were busy early in the am.

The room was super comfortable. Loved having a TV. The view was spectacular! Especially the view from our room! Location was close to everything we wanted to visit.

I really liked this place with everything about it. I felt like living in nature with the sound of birds and sound of nature around me. Steve made more than of an effort so that he doesn't disturb us.This place offers you peace and tranquility. The bed was incredabledy comfortable. Come here and find a bit of peace.I hope, I'll return here one day.

Stu, the owner who lives on site, met us and gave us a tour of the suite. I always appreciate when the owner does this, pointing out light switches, AC controls, etc. Breakfast is very good- cereal, yogurt, bagels, fresh fruit from the trees on the property- and is served on a large shared lanai, where you may be joined by guests in the second guest accommodation. Stu is very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and we loved having conversations with him. Would definitely stay here again should we return to Hilo.

Orchid Tree B&B was everything we could have hoped for and more. Steve (and his wife) were excellent hosts, providing a great location while we stayed on the Hilo side of the island. The daily breakfast was a great way to start each day before we went off exploring. Steve was more than accommodating and shared his knowledge freely about places and things to see or do. And after a long day it was always nice to return to such a friendly, relaxing environment.
