Volcano Forest Inn

served its purpose- no check in except via phone or computer for access code to property. Felt safe, good sleep, affordable- hardly there and still had to pay $80 cleaning fee.

This was a very nice and comfortable place to stay.

The check-in process was a bit confusing. We didn’t receive a code for the entry door lock. After calling the owner, we found out that TripAdvisor had sent the information to my Booking.com mail. The owner was quick to respond and we eventually were able to self check-in. The location was great, but the amenities were mediocre. The beds were springy and not firm. But, we were just there for one night and we made sure the experience was manageable by and for everyone. Everything else besides that was fine.

The rooms are very large - I could easily have slept in the walk-in closet - and the kitchen on site was very convenient. The hotel is set back quite a ways from the road and the site is quiet. The owner was lovely and let me borrow a garden hose after our rental car got covered in volcano debris - very much appreciated, and definitely above and beyond!

Location, size and comfort of the rooms. John was very helpful as a host. It was chilly but the space heater heated the room quickly. I am a bird watcher... wonderful property for birding!

Some options for the breakfast might be nice... yogurt, granola, different breads to toast.. We often find that there could be more hooks, towel racks in bathrooms... would be nice.

Beautiful tranquil place, love it, but parking needs improvement. Parking stalls were unmarked and cars took too much space. Our rental car got stuck in the mud and a rock while trying to find parking in front of the inn. It needed to be towed.

Location is great

A little old house

Close to restaurants and volcano park

Large, comfy, very quiet room

Couldn’t get the coffee pot in the group kitchen to work. Would have liked a coffee maker in the room.
