Volcano Holidays from £620

Clean and quiet place. Not what I’d call an actual “B&B”. But he was upfront about that so it was what I expected. Definitely recommend it.

Very quiet (we were only guests one evening.) Plenty of room to relax in. Peaceful setting

Loved this little hide away and they upgraded our room for free so it was a lovely surprise!

This property is conveniently located near the Volcanoes National Park and the little town of Volcano Village. The property was most likely last updated in the 1980’s and the carpet definitely shows that. The mattress was abhorrent and gave both my husband and I sore backs because it was so lumpy and overused. We’re not chonky out of shape people, just a really terrible mattress. The room was dusty, the carpet is filthy, there is mold growing on the walls above the vanity and all along the bottom of the shower curtain. The intake form requires a hand written credit card number with expiration date and CVV. That’s a hard no for us and a representative from Expedia recommended we not do that as well. It served our purpose, but would not stay here again and don’t understand all the rave reviews.

I don't usually write a lot of reviews, but I specifically came back to this booking that we had in April of 2022 because I've thought about it so much since that stay. This was possibly the most unique setting I've ever had the pleasure of staying at; this was a hobby farm filled with free-range animals that wandered all over the grounds. The portion the owner uses as a visitor space is a wonderful little apartment attached to one of their outbuildings. It had views of the pond and all the animals, yet we felt completely left alone (in a good way!) We had a wonderful night's sleep away from the bustle of town. If you're looking for a unique experience in Hilo I'd highly recommend this incredible property. They made us breakfast the following morning and it was wonderful. We only stayed one night so I can't comment on a lot of the hospitality outside of the breakfast we had, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it would all be equally great. Fair warning; there is not much to do in the town of Volcano, so I'd suggest packing snacks and drinks if you're planning to stay for more than a few days. One other fair warning: This is in the rain forest; you may encounter muddy terrain so be careful if you have a cheapo rental car. We had a Jeep and had no issues. If you want a really neat experience with good hosts, don't hesititate to book this property.
