Guest Reviews

• Darlene (10/5): Laura was very friendly and accomodating and offered many suggestions for visiting such a beautiful island. - Private, quiet, serene, beautiful view of ocean. Tropical birds/frogs tended to be loud when trying to sleep.
• Krupin (10/5): Gorgeous - Very spacious, comfortable room and bathroom and nice kitchen. Loved the location - enjoyed the view from our Orchid room patio so much that we cooked dinner and ate in both nights! Nothing😊
• Angela (5/5): - Great location provides filtered drinking water has laundry facilities has good sized fridge/freezer in the room The accommodation has inadequate parking and insufficient lighting. We attempted to use the pool in the evening, but it was poorly lit, making it unusable. Similarly, we tried to use the hot tub, but it was so over-chlorinated that it caused us to cough, rendering it unusable. The outdoor kitchen has multiple appliances, but only one can be used at a time, making it impossible to cook a full meal. Additionally, there are no instructions for the accommodation, such as where to find drinkable water, where the laundry facilities are, or how to check out. As a result, you have to figure everything out on your own.

Bed is sleep number-very nice:) Breakfast is not included when booked through site other than their own but coffee can be made in room. Island is tropical and you will have beautiful bird and frog sounds day and nite. Bring earplugs if sensitive! Close to Hilo waterfalls and other Activities. NO children but we knew that. PLEASE read the small print and communicate with Garvin and Laura. Thanks Garvin and Laura for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise
• Kaye (10/5): Exceptional - Spotless clean, lots of room to spread out!
• Rachel (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay in the property. We especially enjoyed visiting with the donkeys and feeding them. The hot tub was nice to relax in at the end of the day.
• Adrian Reyes (6/5): - “The area is nice and clean, and you can hear the soothing sounds of nature all night, including the gentle rustling of leaves, the distant calls of frogs, and the soft chirping of crickets. However, once you close the windows and doors, it’s no problem.
• Nancy (10/5): - Lovely stay. Loved exploring & hiking in the area
• Barbie (8/5): Beautiful, local property! - Beautiful property nestled in a local neighborhood overlooking the ocean in the distance. We loved the abundance of plants, flowers, and the amount of spots to sit and enjoy. It was a less than 10 minute drive to Hilo which was perfect for us and a great home base to explore both Volcano National Park and Mauna Kea area. Host was friendly and explained everything in detail. Everything was spotless clean. Bed was very comfortable and air conditioning a major plus. A beautiful local place to stay! Carpets in the room. Rather have tile or floors.
• Ginnine (7/5): Affordable homey place to stay - The bed is a sleep number and very comfortable. It’s a beautiful more private accommodation than a hotel. More like an airbnb. Enjoyed the beauty of the property and lanai. Lanai you have your own section but if others are there they would Be next to you. That didn’t happen to us. The owners live on property. Town is a straight shot down a road driving for 5 mins. Hilo is a nice place for a short visit. Pool was above ground pool. There were a lot of rules to familiarize yourself with and not everyone is capable of dealing with so many rules. Needed to give one day advance notice to use laundry facilities, that’s a hard one. The hot tub had a cover to take off and mechanics and my spouse is an anxious person who doesn’t want to break things. We thought there would be a kitchenette type of area but it was just fridge and microwave availability. Awkward to grill on a bbq and then wash items in a bathroom sink.was fine for us in the end with our short stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Laura and Garvin are outstanding hosts that are invested in giving guests the best experience . The entire place inside and outside extremely clean and well maintained . Bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed . Thank you so much for a fabulous stay !
• Jeremy (10/5): Comfortable, accommodating, and beautiful place to stay. Highly recommend and would like to revisit. - The hosts were very accommodating and helpful with everything. The place was very beautiful and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone coming to visit in the area.
• Lemler (9/5): Superb - Beautiful property filled with palm trees & flowers. These hosts are lovely & accommodating.
• Cristian (10/5): - In middle of nature a lot a vegetation around! Nice view! Convenient for cooking!
• Nivia (10/5): - The property was very nice and extremely clean.
• Russell (10/5): - The property owners were absolutely wonderful to my husband and myself. We were there celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary and they actually cut a bouquet of fresh flowers to give to us as a celebratory gift. Absolutely stunning. Too bad we couldn’t bring it back to the mainland. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy hotel. The fact that no children are allowed makes it even better. It’s a guaranteed quiet spot for people who are wanting to get away together in the peace and quiet.
• Erin (6/5): average accommodations, wouldn’t return - comfortable bed, quiet grounds, kitchenette supplies to make our own breakfast here, good location this is not “luxury,” nor a resort. we spent more on this place than anywhere else but it was very average. fine, but absolutely not luxury or worth the extra money- the above ground pool was dirty and I got chastised for going down the water slide - there was no signage saying not to use the water slide, I was well under the weight limit, and it was weird because we then felt like the host had been watching us at the pool.
• Shelby (8/5): Very good -
• Deborah (9/5): It was very peaceful and convenient to where we needed to be. - The location was very close to town, but with a lovely country feel. The owners were lovely and accommodating. The only comment I have is that I should have read my paperwork a little closer as I missed the part about the sleep number bed😂. I thought the bed was unusually hard . I read the line about the bed at the end of my stay, so my fault!
• Jason A (10/5): - 👍
• Joan (10/5): Great choice when staying on the Hilo side. - We were entirely comfortable when in our room or especially on the spacious lanai.
• Ninee (8/5): Great location!! - We had what we needed as described by the property. Thanks for a great stay!
• Tina (10/5): We wish that we could have stayed longer. Lovely property and the host’s were warm and gracious!! - Property is extremely beautiful, private and peaceful. Felt like we were in the rain forest but only five minutes away from town.
• Ryan (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The property is very secluded, and we loved feeling like we were in the rainforest (especially at night with all of the singing frogs). The hosts were extremely kind and accommodating. Honestly one of the best stays we’ve had in recent years!
• Nina (10/5): What a great place! - Goode’s was truly an awesome place to stay. The facility is beautiful inside and out. It is solar powered. The host and hostess are gracious. The view of Hilo Bay is special. There is also a view of Maura Kea a short walk up the road. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates grace and beauty.
• David (10/5): - The Goode's have a lovely compound just north of Hilo. Its close to the highway, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. They have a handful of various rooms, that are tastefully decorated with nice little touches throughout. Its like visiting your friends/family in the country, but the accommodations are classy and clean, and the surrounding property is well maintained and beautiful. You get a comfortable bed, lots of room, and nice furniture inside the room. Also, there is comfortable chairs, hammocks, and loungers to relax under the shade on the porch in front of each room. They owners grow lots of fruit trees and share their fruit with their guests. They are very responsive and take a genuine interest in your comfort and happiness while in their care. But they also give the guest plenty of space and privacy. But they are there anytime you need them, and are very friendly and nice people! Its not cheap, but its not expensive. It IS good value. Also, if you are looking for a longer stay, call Garvin, and he can offer a good rate on extended stays, for travellers and people in the Hilo area there on business.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked that they had dishes and cutlery to go with the microwave, fridge, kettle coffee machine and electric kettle. The room was well decorated and furnished. They even included sunscreen, bug spray and umbrellas (blow dryer as well).
• Edwin (10/5): - I loved that it was very “ homey” and that they provided all the commodities we needed. Staff were very friendly. My only comment would be , needs more lighting at night by the driveway. Otherwise , we had a wonderful stay.
• jorge (10/5): - Quiet clean and tries to fit the mode for the guest.
• Sean (10/5): - We liked being able to grab fruit right from the trees. Hot tub overlooks the bay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - very friendly, quiet and peaceful. didn't mind the frogs at all...lol. we would recommend staying here.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Coming up to the property I was surprised about the location. However, the Goode's were very friendly and helpful iwht
• Karen (10/5): - Wonderful room and beautiful patio area with hammocks, an outdoor tiki room to bbq if you wish. Very natural and quiet except for those lovely little coqui singing frogs! The hosts are exceptionally friendly and will offer good recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants if you want. Every little detail was perfect!😁
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent accommodations with serene beautiful setting. Room was spacious, very clean and owners friendly and well informed about Hilo and the island. For a restful and leisure stay Island Goode’s was just what we wanted.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely accommodation in a rural location, 10 minute drive from Hilo.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Really lovely room that had everything we needed, nice people who werent too in your face and great position.
• Lilia (10/5): - It was very quiet, which was exactly what I was wanted. The sounds of nature at night were perfect 'white noise'. The owners are very helpful and offer suggestions and helpful information about the area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very easy to check in. Very nice room that gives me a feeling of home. The room has everything i need. Happy for this booking.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect place to stay if you plan to visit Hilo at Hawaii Island.
• DB_KC (10/5): - This hotel choice really made our entire Hawaii trip so sweet, refreshing and upscale - definitely would recommend it over standard Holiday Inn etc. We took their cheapest room - but even that was so well kept and well-equipped and they have such a lovely property with greens and birds etc. And their behavior made us feel at home too.
• DM (8/5): - Great homestay, easy to get to Vocano's and waterfalls.
• Scott (10/5): - This is a wonderful, quiet, clean relaxing place to call home base. Our room was large, and very clean with every available convenience in could imagine. Our bed was made daily, our coffee was restocked as well as the filtered water. Sitting out on own lanai planning our day or talking about the days activities in the evening was very relaxing. The owners are friendly and very accommodating with fresh bananas, oranges, and even produced a BBQ for a dinner in! Highly recommend staying at Island Goode's
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hosts were extremely nice. Loved tbe fresh oranges and lemons off the trees. The room we stayed in had a private outside sitting area which we enjoyed every morning. Thank you so much. Highly recommand Island Goode when in Hawaii
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hosts. Fantastic view of tropical plants and ocean from the 3rd floor.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I found the manager both friendly and helpful. The property was well maintained. A nice view of the ocean.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful property, stunning views of Hilo Bay, very high quality appointments, tremendous attention to detail. We received a generous upgrade from the owner to the spacious Hilo Bay suite. Beautiful four poster king-sized bed, mini fridge, toaster, french press coffee maker and regular coffee machine, hot water for tea. Outside a huge patio with comfy furniture. Easy access to Hilo in 10 minutes or up the coast to Honokaa in 30 minutes and Waimea in less than an hour. Highly recommended.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Gavin and Laura were as accommodating as anyone could be, any comment or request was immediately taken care of. Great people, excellent stay, you couldn't ask for more. I wish we could have stayed longer than just 1 week. Probably the best place I've stayed anywhere ever. 5 star plus! WOW! Loved it!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice and. Spacious . Plenty of fruits to enjoy.Convenient to Hilo for meals and sight seeing.Very near to turnoff for 4 mile scenic drive
• Verified traveler (10/5): - What a great place! Would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the Hilo area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect Place for our 12 day travels on the Big Island. The grounds are beautiful, quiet, private and very serene. Just a short drive from Hilo on the Coastal Highway. So quiet and secluded that the dark night sky can be seen for beautiful stargazing. We stayed in the Mauna Kea room with all the comfort and cleanliness of home. Garvin and Laura have thought of all the amenities and touches for a perfect stay and are wonderful hosts. If we head to the Big Island again, we will definitely stay with the Goodes again. Mahalo
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Unit is extremely small reminiscent of a cruise ship stateroom, remote and rustic. Privacy is limited, area is noisy and parking is challenging. Sleep number bed was nice but microwave and other items outside was odd as was the room stipulations and power restrictions.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Enjoy to stay - Nice small B&B kind but no breakfast. Nice room and property with three horses. But a distance from Hilo.
• Lisa (10/5): - Excellent! Owners are friendly and have a gorgeous home/lodging. Everything your little heart desires. But, (Follow the owner's exact driving directions or you will miss the road to turn on)
• Chris (10/5): - I liked staying at Island Goodes very much and would definitely recommend it to friends and family! The owners were friendly, but also respected guests privacy and did not approach them, rather maintaining a "contact us if you'd like" atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home since the property is a bed and breakfast, as opposed to a hotel. The owners live on site and are available if you have any issues but guests should be aware that they are not booking a hotel room so there isn't a desk staff available 24/7, room service, breakfast on site, pool or amenities such as this, nor are they advertised, but I think it's important for people to know this ahead of time so if these things are important to them they should look for a hotel. I personally preferred this, as I really did feel like I was in a home like atmosphere. The rooms do have the things you need to feel at home such as fridge, kitchen table, microwave, couch, tv, etc and were spacious, comfortable and very clean. My husband and I enjoyed our visit and if we make it back to the big Island, we will not hesitate to book Island Goodes again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): A welcome bit of peace and tranquility . . . - We loved our stay at Island Goode's. We stayed in the tower room and found it to be both comfortable and unique. The views were amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano had stopped erupting, so there was no view at night of the lava flow. We loved the sound of the chirping frogs. And, we liked the location, far enough from downtown Hilo to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to Hilo for restaurants, shopping, etc.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The location was ideal to explore places in and around Hilo. The place was surrounded by lot of trees and we could see ocean from our Lanai. The host was kind enough to offer us bananas hanging at their place. The room itself was well furnished with all necessary amenities and was clean. It is a little difficult to find the property in dark. The only down side is it is not at Hilo itself so places for dining and beaches are about 30min away . We had a great time at Island Goode’s.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was perfect and had a beautiful view. We got to enjoy freshly picked bananas each morning from the garden!
• T.Tannehill (10/5): - Very quiet and relaxing. Beautiful setting and view. The rooms are nicely appointed with extra amenities. Close to town but it doesn't feel like it. Owners are very nice.
• Michel (10/5): A delight - Would recommend staying... we really enjoyed our stay there. The frogs at night were a delight.
• NgatiWhatuaToa (10/5): Relaxing spot not not too far from Hilo - I liked the "isolation" of the location. You could truly relaxed, come and go as you please. The big room, comfortable bed meant you could wind down after a busy day at your conference.
• Anne (8/5): - All was fine. Never had such a long list of rules. Four small font pages!
• Dari (6/5): - Good for short term1-2 nights if Volcano national park is open. It was close during our stay and only interesting point in this part of the island was the botanical garden , 10 min drive from there. In Mauna Kea room there is not kitchenette, the only sink is in the bathroom.
• Christopher (10/5): Wonderful retreat! - Island Goode’s had all the amenities we could have needed, including BBQ, hot tub, and umbrellas. It was only a short drive back into Hilo and also close to sites such as Akaka falls and the Hawaiian Botanical Gardens. Garvin and Laura were gracious owners who made us feel welcomed and at home. Great stay!
• Mark (10/5): Great place to stay - Very nice place with a country feel, close to the beach and town. The hosts were lovely and thoughtful. Great attention to detail is given within the rooms to make the stay even more comfortable.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great place - Very welcoming place. Even provided umbrellas which came in handy for the frequent showers Was greeted upon arrival and shown to our room with a introduction to the area and recommended places to eat. Tried two of the places recommended and we were not disappointed. It was only a short drive to the airport a good place for a day trip to Volcanoes National Park. The nightly "serenade" by (I think) frogs, was rather loud but the air conditioner worked very well to block it out. We were only here for two days on this trip and did not get to use the hot tub, or relax on the lanai, but would stay here again.
• JB (10/5): Great accomodation - Very good accommodation, pleasant owners. 7 miles out of Hilo, but with a car this doesn't matter.
• Nick (10/5): Great location/ great digs - Stay here! The owners are super friendly... or they'll leave you alone. Whichever you want. 5 min from downtown. Half a mile from a must doif in the area 4 mile scenic loop and a botanical gardens. Beautiful furnishings. Connected to city water. (Learned from the owner that a lot of surrounding Hilo area is on catchment water... not as safe as utility)
• Gregory (10/5): Great Stay! - Very nice rooms, very clean and well stocked with incidentals. Kona coffee was a nice touch! Umbrellas for guest use was appreciated. Only issue was inadequate parking for 5 vehicles when all rooms occupied.
• Aaron (10/5): Great location! - The room was fantastic. The grounds were perfect for relaxing in peace.
• Steve (10/5): 2 night stay at Island Goodes - We stayed a couple of nights so we could visit Hawaii Tropical Botannical Gardens. Directions were accurate and necessary to find this. Our room (Ginger Room) was very comfortable and spacious, but no view and a lacking natural light. The room was clean, well presented with quality furnishings and amenities. We especially liked having plunger coffee in preference to filter (which was also offered). Frig, outdoor microwave, toaster and iron. Bed with adjustable hardness.Lanai was shared with adjacent rooms but as we were the only guests, we had it to ourselves. we also tried the jacuzzi which was very hot at over 100 F, and heavily dosed with chlorine. Pleasant nonetheless as you could listen to the frogs and river running through the adjacent valley.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Cozy B&B near beach - We really enjoyed our stay that was 3 nights in this B&B. We were on our honeymoon and were greeted outside of our room. The room was large and immaculately decorated with much consideration for guest.
• vivian (10/5): Nice clean, beautiful place to stay - Very nice clean place to stay , beautiful room, need rent car, if you like to see volcano, falls, Mauna Kea , it is good place to stay. If you like to enjoy beach , it is not location to stay. Hotel is beautiful and clean
• James (10/5): Great place with amazing owners - Perfect place to stay for our first trip to Hawaii's big island. It was convenient to all the things we enjoyed such as Water falls, Botanical gardens and Hilo. The room was immaculate and the owners are wonderful people, very nice and helpful.
• Sharon (10/5): - What a great place to stay!! We had the top floor - two of the walls are glass, beautiful view. Close to Hilo. Owners very helpful in any way they can. Spa open 24/7. We could have coffee on the covered deck and see sunrise. Would stay there again.
• Jasmine (10/5): Would totally go back - Great place, just out of town. Nice locale with everything you need to be comfortable.
• Matthew (10/5): The Tree House Room - Room, Property, and Strategic Location: Located a few miles from Hilo, this property is perfectly located about 800 yards from the highway. A breathtaking scenic view, quiet from manmade noise but surrounded by the pleasant sound of natural wildlife. The property is stunning in terms of oceanview from the Tree House Room, fruit trees, and rainforest landscape. The room was perfectly clean and in the very best condition of maintenance. Situated on the top third floor, we enjoyed a breeze and the wonderful sound of rain which frequents the Hilo region, particularly at night. This was the perfect place to regroup in the evening after spending the day visiting all points of the island. The location was close to the Saddle Road leading across the island to Kailua-Kona, a short ride to the Volcano State Park, as well as the touring the Hamakua Coast to Kohala. Our host provided us with a detailed "guest Manual" that was very helpful during our stay. It clearly explains how we could maximize our enjoyment of the property and helping our host help us.
• Kevin (10/5): Great location . Just a little out of town in a r - Friendly and informative hosts . Would highly recommend!

At the pleasure of seing you again and mahalo for everything! :)
