Volcano Hale

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

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

Good towels, great location. The dehumidifier’s kept the place from feeling moldy. The housekeeper kept it very clean.

Front door lock hard to open with my key. No condiments in the kitchen, including salt and pepper. Not enough coffee mugs for the guests. Some pans were old, cramped up teflon. Decor looks like they bought it all at a church rummage sale in 1992. A family staying at the same time left early to stay at the competition. The vibe overall I would describe as neglect. If the place is full, they’re pulling down more than $1000 a night yet it looks like they haven’t spent a dollar on the kitchen or the decor. I mean, who uses compact fluorescent lightbulbs for bedside table lamps? Perhaps they’re using it as a place to store furniture that they can’t let go of? My recommendation to them is that whoever is in charge spends two nights and one day staying in their place. Better yet, whoever their romantic partner is, have them stay. It’ll be obvious what needs to change.

Loved the cleanliness and location

Need more kitchen supplies in terms of spices andbasic cooking stuff

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

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

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

A very nice low cost alternative to expensive Hawaii. At night you can hear frogs, crickets, birds and rain drops which makes for a serene backdrop while sleeping.

Very convenient location for visiting the national park.

Unique old charm in a building from 1912. No issues sharing the bathrooms. Comman area good with fridge and cooking options. Limited dining options however super convenient for volcano exploring.

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.

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.
