Would like a bench at the front door to sit and take off wet shoes

Charm, charachter of old building, ease of check in and check out, price was good.

Older property so understandably walls are very thin in our room but we were right next to kitchen/ common dining area and since people had late dinners and very early loud breakfast like 7am and we could hear every word they said, this woke us. Also dining room lights wouldn’t turn off for a long time and so shone under our doors very bright and there’s no obvious switches for these they’re on timers I think? Would have liked to turn them off at night especially as they’re signs up about saving energy Place was mostly very clean but our room had a lot of dust/dirt on floor when we arrived which we noticed as you have to take shoes off when you go in - could feel lots of dirt/sand on floor and our feet were black on the bottom after walking around barefoot but the rest of the place was really clean. Toilet was a “water saving toilet” but would only fully flush if you held the handle down for a long time which seemed to use more water than normal toilets and also meant a lot of people kept leaving “things” in the toilet which wasn’t nice to keep finding maybe could have a sign up saying to hold it for longer to avoid this Nothing major was a very pleasant stay

Really pretty property with lovely jungle surroundings Huge room and lots of storage Working TV in room Very close to volcano national park Well equipped kitchen Bathrooms were very clean and lots of clean towels and shampoo and soap provided was great Strong WiFi Rooms had fans to cool you or heaters to warm you which I thought was really nice Loved the self check in process Very easy to find

Loved the cleanliness and location

Electric kettle would be great to have in the kitchen. (Kilauea Volcano should have erupted one day earlier! :))

Location, parking place, great kitchen facilities (including paper towels!), surrounded by nature, peace, safety.

The property is both really close from the Volcano park and also lost in beautiful jungle and really quiet.

There are a lot of stairs so if you have difficulty with stairs, this isn't the place for you. We had not problems bc we had small bags.

The location was perfect since it was super close to Volcano National Park. This is much more like a European Hostel. Our room was small with a queen size bed and located on top floor of the house. It was perfect for our needs. Sharing the bathroom was never an issue. No one was waiting on us and we were never waiting on the bathroom on our floor. If it was occupied, we could have easier used another bathroom. We enjoyed meeting the other couples from around the world. The couples in the other 4 bedrooms were all friendly and respectful. We had food in the fridge and freezer without any issues. We loved it.

Great location and value for money. All basic necessities provided. Good Kitchen for cooking. I would recommend this place.

Beautiful location and lovely old home that has so much heart and soul. The place is self serving so we didn’t meet any staff but it was easy to communicate with them online and checking in was simple. Our room was so cozy and warm which was nice because the volcano area can be chilly. Would absolutely stay here again!

Everything was fine

There is a common kitchen which is nice, but there isn’t really a common area to sit and hang out, such as a living room with couches. Everything was clean in general, though there were some pebbles and an earplug on the ground in my room from a previous guest. Check in is contactless, though they wanted me to write down my credit card number and leave it on a piece of paper in the room for possible damage. This does not seem secure at all and is not modern practice. Location is sort of in the middle of nowhere. It was very close to the park entrance, but there are no real amenities in the area. Next time, I would probably stay closer to Hilo and drive down.

There is a common kitchen which is nice. The bedroom was nice, though in the basement, and felt like it was in a basement.

Best accommodation I had so far on the island, nestled within a beautiful garden and very close to the Volcano NP. Check-in is easy and extremely professionally organised. I loved my charming room on the ground floor with a most comfortable bed. Bathrooms were very clean, plenty of towels. Kitchen was equipped for preparing little meals. (Although I highly recommend the Tuktuk Thai Food Truck at the golf course)

No complaints here!

The location was great and right by Volcano National Park. Super affordable and very spacious. Full kitchen made cooking easy. Everything exceeded expectations. Mahalo!

Rooms and home a bit dated and in need of some upgrades.

Location is great for Volcanoes National Park.

All good

Peaceful nights

Very nice place, quiet and relaxed. Close to the national park. It was self check in but they made sure to be there if anything needed. It could have been a bit cleaner. But overall it was good. Would definitely go back there again.

Walls are thin. If the other guests are making any noise it can be heard. Wild pigs were in the front yard every day. They don't seem aggressive yet, but it's clear that they are getting fed by guests or neighbors. More of an invasive species issue than anything else though.

Location is right outside Volcano National Park. Higher elevation makes the air cooler than down at sea level.

It was very near the nations park. It was clean and very cute. Well maintained and had everything anyone could need. The beds were a bit small but it did the job and was comfortable.

Rooms downstairs are humid. Missing a table and a mirror in the room.

Comfy, cozy, nice staff and very organized. Nice location and views.

Staying with other people that you don’t know could make you anxious or worried but it all worked out for us. We didn’t have any troubles with the other guests in the house.

We loved our stay here. We were able to eat, sleep, shower, cook, have a place to store food, and more.

My least favorite thing was that the hot water was too hot, which would have been fine if the shower had allowed for changing the temperature. If it was on full enough to rinse thoroughly it was too hot. If you tried to lower the temp, the shower was a trickle. This resulted in taking an overlong shower trying to go back and forth and compensate for the bad pressure vs the temp change. There is no oven and the toaster oven did not work at all. This should be replaced.

We were quite happy with our stay. The amenities were decent, though a comfy place to sit outside and in the shared dining/living area would have been nice.

The best lobby and nice place to sleep after a long hours of hiking!

Stayed in January 2024

Fans and light in shared space must run 24/7. Kitchen equipment was good but might need some update. No tea towel to dry washed dishes. Message from host felt a little like spam. Too long messages and all the time the same. A little bit annoying.

Good location and price. Nice shared space with kitchen (might be a little small if fully booked). Parking available. Good internet. Would stay here again.
