Volcano Hale

The house is in a lovely area, close to the volcano national park, which is what brought us here. Owner was easily reachable. Facility has lots of supplies for showering and sleeping. The reason for the 3 stars is the flooring is old carpet and in much need of replacement. Although there is a housekeeper that comes and I’m sure they’ve cleaned the carpet it’s just time to replace it. The only other issue is check in. It’s self check in and quite simple which is nice but the keys are left outside and anyone could come and pick them up and go in. My suggestion would be a keypad entry to house given only to guests then have keys for guests waiting inside. Otherwise it’s a nice older home easily accessible to the park and provides the basic necessities in bath, kitchen and bedrooms.

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

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.

Good location near the Volcano National Park, quiet pleasant stay in a historic property.

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)

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

No complaints here!

So clean and peaceful. Perfect for a place to rest after a day of hiking the island.
