A charming rainforest cottage - perfect for an overnight visit to the national park. Try the local Thai restaurant - it’s awesome.

It was a great value. Very clean and close to Volcanos National Park. Only thing I would suggest would be a new mattress on the ned and a microwave.

Drinking water was provided because it wasn’t safe to drink the rain water. But The bottled water wasn’t sealed just refilled. Very unhygienic.

I loved this place, stayed in August with my adult children, plenty of room, loved sitting outside in the mornings, star gazing at night. Extra nice touch of fruit and muffins for breakfast, thanks to everyone for making this a memorable vacation!

Our cottage was at the edge of the jungle, and we fell asleep both evenings to lovely birds singing throughout the night. The water dripping from wet leaves onto the rooftop was also soothing.

Everything about the property itself was great! Instructions were clear and the lodge was a nice set up with ambient views of the forest. Staff who checked us in and out were also welcoming and friendly. One thing that was concerning were the zionists flags in the nearby area, so safety was in question. Those flags symbolize the support and complacency of the ongoing genocide in Palestine. If the property owners and management don’t see it as a problem, I would not stay there again and let others know too.

Very good experience of being out in the wilderness. Warm and cozy place to stay with family. Loved how close it was to VNP.

Great clean quaint lodge. Beautiful outlook in very quiet area. Special touch of fruit and goodies for breakfast and a huge bottle of water daily as water is not potable in the Volcano region. Office located at a nearby store which directions are clearly noted when booking the accommodation. Would definitely stay again.

Was charged “Ace Hardware” which messed up the credit card trying to claim the travel expense. Check in and out were in a convenient store and was contacted multiple times about exactly what time we will be there. The couch and bed were extremely uncomfortable and my husband could barely fit in the closet like shower.

very quite

10/10

Very cute place. Nice a big. Quiet. Would for sure recommend. It is a little pricey. Only problem was it is a little hard to find as after you turn onto the street its "halfway down" on the right. Not a big deal when we found it. Again I would recommend and will consider saying again.

It was lovely once we got to the room. The check in/out was odd, in a True Value store, and was only between the hours of 3:00-5:00pm. That should be noted somewhere, we arrived at 5:00 and almost missed it.
Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022

Great location for accessing Volcano National Park and related attractions. Room was quiet/secluded. Check-in ends at 5:30pm so we had to make alternative arrangements to get room access. It was fine. However, nowhere in the booking is it mentioned that water is non-potable. Maybe that's common in the area but it seems like an important detail. Bathroom needs some maintenance.

We were in Hilo visiting family and decided to stay here due to its previous reviews. When we first enter the cabin, we immediately were hit with a musty odor. Upon further inspection, we noticed areas in the kitchen that had food. The toaster had crumbs, and the sink had something in it. The towels were damp due to the interior humidity. The rooms were dusty. Some of the positives, the staff were nice and friendly, the water was hot, the cabin location was quiet and beautiful.

This is my second time staying. Property is good, very convenient if you are visiting the park. This time the cleanliness was a little issue. These cabins are very moist so they have dehumidifiers provided. When I walked into our cabin it wasn’t running and smelled very damp. The couch had lots of mold in the cracks as well as the pillows. There was also urine left in our toilet. Other than those issues, stay was good, fresh water and fruits provided.

6/10

Positives: located two miles outside Volcanoes Nat’l Park, very peaceful, bed is small but comfortable, was reasonably clean, and the staff was super friendly. They left a nice little basket with a couple of bananas, etc. Negatives: aside from a newer frig, everything else seems to be from the 70’s and not in a cool retro way—in a falling apart, worn out way. Dish towels and dishes were old, matted, sticky. The musty, mildew smell was powerful. Was overpriced relative to its condition; glad we had it booked for just one night.
