Guest Reviews

• Flavia (8/5): - Nice and clean place, very good position. I would recommend it They say breakfast is included but it’s actually not. They give you some fruits and few cookies but for this cannot be considered a breakfast included in a bad & breakfast
• Flavia (8/5): Great place to stay near the volcano park - The room was spacious and very well decorated. It had everything I needed, from amenities to comfortable bed. It’s not a hotel, so you feel like home
• Armin (8/5): -
• Jason (8/5): -
• Jacqueline (9/5): - Beautiful property. Responsive staff. Pretty decor.
• Parag (10/5): Banana bread provided by owner was so yummy. Stay was clean and comfortable - Location, Hospitality, Food Nothing
• Nanda (8/5): -
• Christopher (1/5): -
• Krista (10/5): A hidden gem - This place is a little gem. The room was clean and comfortable. Great proximity to Volcano's National Park. Local banana bread and coffee was a super nice touch. Great stay.
• Kat (10/5): Excellent! - It was great! Lovely place, great location and the jacuzzi was a bonus Walls a little thin - could hear the kids next door
• philippe (8/5): Bien - Dans la forêt. Près du parc. Bien mais un peu vieillot. Mais pour une nuit c’est bien
• Elsie (9/5): -
• Manivannan (9/5): Outstanding hospitality from Shannon and an unbeatable location near the park. - This is an awesome place with an unbeatable location very near to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It made exploring the park so convenient! A huge thank you to Shannon, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay—her hospitality really stood out. The lodge was quiet, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for in a family getaway. None
• Banzon (10/5): Very homey. Enough seating for everyone. Hosts communicate efficiently and very accommodating. - Close to restaurants and national park. Has a kitchen, washer/dryer. Beautiful garden. Noisy dryer.
• Connie (10/5): We very much enjoyed our visit - Character charming place
• Joanna (7/5): -
• Amanda (9/5): Gorgeous property and comfy rooms in the perfect location for Volcanoes National Park - Beautiful tropical location with gorgeous flowers and greenery around, and perfect for trips to Volcano National Park at night and early morning—the best times to go! The room was really well appointed. Comfortable room and homey feeling. Friendly staff with wonderful papaya and homemade banana bread in the mornings. The bathtub divider came off when I nudged it. I was missing protein for breakfast in the morning.
• bhave (10/5): -
• Reed (9/5): -
• David (10/5): -
• Carrie (1/5): Musty, mildew infested, nasty - the location is perfect since we were there for volcanoes national park, and it is right around the corner. The room had no heat except a jinky little space heater. The room was very wet and musty. Even the toilet paper was moist, to say nothing of the bedding. It is in the middle of a rainforest so you expect some moisture, but becase there is no air in the units everything was just plain wet. They had a cork wall (or something like it) that smelled awful. The bathroom clearly has some plumbing problems, as evidenced by the severe mildew and moisture at floor level. The towels provided were just so smelly with mildew that we could not stand to touch them (luckily, we had our own beach towels with us). The proprietors also loudly displayed their political views both on their persons in the clothes they wore, and inside the rooms, which felt very unsafe. Overall, it was the most uncomfortable I've ever been in any room, especially for the price!
• Anja (10/5): -
• Deborah (7/5): Met expectations. Great location VNP - Basic continental breakfast.
• King (9/5): Would highly recommend - Gorgeous rainforest location. Shannon was very communicative and ensured we had all we needed.
• Ringel (9/5): Best Home Away from Home near Volcano National Park - Loved the location. Absolutely incredible, being in the middle of the rain forest, and yet so near to stores and gas stations. Also just a few minutes from Volcano National Park. Thank you for the Christian music playing when we arrived. And the handwritten note. Felt so welcoming. We had the music on whenever we were in the room. Also appreciated fresh fruit and snacks. We felt that our accomodations were above and beyond what we had expected. We chose Crater Lodge based on location and great reviews. So glad we did. We were celebrating my granddaughter's birthday as well as visiting the Park, and you made it extra special. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to be able to stay with you again the next time we visit Hawaii. Just a small thing. Would have liked a light above the table.
• David (10/5): It was perfect, location was a plus. - No breakfast. Price
• Lucas (10/5): Made fabulous memories with my grandkids. - Location is excellent! Property is beautiful. No TV
• Billie (10/5): - This room has so much character! Cozy and clean. Really close to Volcano National Park, which is what we wanted. Awesome little gem of a place! It was pretty far from food places
• David (9/5): Totally unique and comfortable space, great location. - Charmingly decorated, unique orchid chamber, amazing tile work in the shower. Space was fully equipped with everything we could have needed. Gorgeous wood 4-post bed. Lush grounds made us feel like Indiana Jones driving in the jungle.
• Jessica (3/5): - Beautiful gardens and great proximity to the Volcano. You could tell that the owners care and make an extra effort, leaving you fruit and snacks I had anticipated a deck in the redwoods and ended up with what felt like a basement room that was quite damp, dank, and gave me a sore throat from likely mildew or mold. It needs a renovation and much better lighting. I appreciate the environment makes it tough and while clean, without being redone it desperately needed an update
• Charlotte (7/5): -
• Yingchun (8/5): - Spacious room, helpful staff, full kitchen, reasonable price Small incident water pressure low but after they switched water tank good
• Sam (5/5): Okay for one night - Wanted something close to Volcano (and half way between Kona and Hilo) so it suited our needs. Breakfast was apples, instant oat meal, dried biscotti - nothing special. Coffee/sugar/milk. Would not stay more than one night. Place is a little run down. Bathroom was very small - could not even put down a wash kit. Bathroom mat was dirty. Not a comfortable place to stay.
• Pam (3/5): Unfriendly, depressing, it was clear they didn - The breakfast was fine, though I don't know where the expected yogurt was. The bed was If you call a space a "kitchenette," we expect running water with a sink and a place to rinse dishes. But this was the most disturbing part: at around 10:00 am on my first morning, a man (the co-owner) approached my door and reached for the doorknob with full intention to enter. I stopped him from entering. He said that because he didn't see a vehicle parked in front, he assumed the room was empty. He wanted to check on the goldfish. This made me feel unsafe.
• Jingjun (10/5): 温馨的民宿 - 房东人很好，除了不能提前入住，停车和交通都很方便。房间够大，布置的也很温馨。比预期的都要好。 如果有大一点的取暖器就好了。
• Kodai (7/5): -
• Mary (9/5): It was perfect for our needs for a short stay. - The unique room decor and property.
• martin (9/5): Wonderful place for your adventures - Beautiful “hidden” place in the local rainforest. The building was smoothly placed into the landscape. Best place to start expeditions into the state park. Breakfast is pre prepared for the next day. Selection of fruits, flakes etc Just a hint: Plan your dinner reservation early enough ;-)
• Elizabeth (3/5): disappointing and we would have appreciated a refund. - I hate to give bad reviews but this unfortunately did not match the description or our expectations. It may have been better if not so wet or damp but we had to leave because of the dampness and darkness in the downstairs room. The host was not forthcoming with information and there was no warm welcome. You can't really call it a breakfast. There was no kitchenette sink to make it feel like a usable kitchenette. The bathroom really needed to be redone in order to feel clean. The bedding was well used. I am a camper and stay in hostels time to time but this wasn't very welcoming unfortunately. We moved to another similar price accomodation and there was no comparison.
• Michael (6/5): Cool location, like a rain forest, better for budget travelers, looking for more of a hotel exp. - Had a musty/moldy smell, need to get rid of the carpet.
• sheikh (10/5): -
• Vantanee (10/5): -
• Glenda (9/5): -
• Didier (8/5): Très bien - L'emplacement proche du parc des volcans, la maison dans la nature, les fruits et l Rien.
• Riho (4/5): 衛生面の観点から少し残念です。 - オーナー様は感じがよく、アクセス方法やチェックイン方法についての連絡も早めにいただけて助かりました。火山から近くてよかったです。 ベッドシーツや枕から生乾き臭や加齢臭がしました。衛生面が気になり安眠できませんでした。
• gilles (10/5): - Cadre magnifique dans la nature Calme et très proche du parc des volcans
• XINNING (10/5): -
• Denice (10/5): - The manager on site is extremely pleasant, making everything work out for our traveling party. None to report
• Amy (10/5): Beautiful property - Beautiful property, really nice folks comfy bed. Loved it. Highly recommend.
• Liebman (8/5): -
• doug (10/5): - Very close to national park. Hosts friendly and supply stuff for breakfast. Not luxury but clean and comfortable All night hear birds or frogs or something which is nice background
• Nikolaos (9/5): - Short distance to Volcano National Park
• SonnyT (10/5): Excellent location, nice amenities, and away from the crowds. - Easy and quick access to Volcanoe National Park. Enjoyed the big deck and the secluded setting. Room was large and comfortable. Bath area was very nice with a jacuzzi tub.
• Ilene (10/5): - Beautiful room that reminded us of a themed room back in the mainland.
• Denise (8/5): - Great location to Volcano NP. Liked the fact that we had dishes and utensils in our room to heat leftovers. Like going to sleep listening to the frogs.
• Anne (10/5): - Wonderful picturesque and soulful place with all of the necessities.
• keith (10/5): Close to Volcanoes Park. - Property is more of an Airbnb. It was located in a lush tropical property and check in was a key left in the units door. Good location for visiting Volcanoes park. Good place if you’re mode of travel is simple with minimal amenities. Owners made the stay comfortable. Unfortunately not many restaurants were open on our Monday visit.
• an (10/5): -
• Urs Stucki (9/5): Surprise successful - The King Suite (Room #6) left us speechless when we entered. The terrarium, the bed with a frame made of branches, and the double shower with natural stone flooring. Amazing! The rather unusually cool temperature at this altitude prompted us to warm up the room a little with the fan heater provided. This device could be one or two sizes larger to speed up the process.
• Robert (10/5): - Bliskość parku z wulkanem, przepiękna okolica
• yanyan (10/5): - This place is amazing!! hig
• Lucinda (8/5): Great location - So close to Hawaii volcanoes NP Easy no nonsense place to stay
• Monika (8/5): - Die Lage zum Vulcano Park ist spitze, nur 5 Minuten mit dem Auto. Ringsherum ist die Natur sehr schön. Das Bad war sehr klein.
• Tanja (9/5): Sehr schön! Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis! Würden wir wieder buchen:) - Die an sich sehr ruhige Lage mitten im Dschungel war toll… gleichzeitig liegt die Unterkunft ganz nah am Vulkanpark! Das Zimmer ist angenehm groß für eine Familie:)… Frühstücksartikel findet man im Zimmer vor, allerdings muss man es sich selbst zubereiten.,. Bei der Ankunft roch es etwas abgestanden/modrig… und die Hellhörigkeit in dem Haus war schwierig! Wir hatten am letzten Morgen extrem laute Nachbarn über uns, die offenbar Sport gemacht haben (?) und wir hatten das Gefühl, die Decke bricht über uns zusammen;(…
• William R (8/5): Quaint, clean and great location to visit volcano and Kilauea Lodge. - Quaint . Multi stories, 4 units in one building. Great signs to find the unit and great direction on the email. 4 stories, possible converter house. Can hear the conversation of next door. Coqui frogs are a little overwhelming but is constant until around 4 am.
• John (9/5): -
• Barbara (6/5): - I was a bit concerned about the cleanliness of the property. The bed sheets were rumpled upon "check in" as though they had been slept upon. I knew the property was eclectic so the exterior was as expected but i thought the interior could be updated more. IE the mottled colored rough concrete shower floor...the electrical plug above the tiny sink....just 2 of the items that could be improved upon. However, it is very close to Volcanoes national park and that's a plus. And it doesn't pretend to be the Four Seasons.
• Workman (1/5): Awful I couldn't stay - Ghetto I didn't feel comfortable and it stunk like mold All of it there was no instructions no one came to door and so bad in general
• Eileen (6/5): Very different, funky place to stay. Not your average hotel. - FUNKY and creative Could be cleaner, both the room and the hot tub.
• Seraph (8/5): -
• David (10/5): - A very cozy beautiful location. Close to the volcano entrance, quiet, solitude, relaxing, loved the authentic atmosphere.
• Jean-Sébastien (9/5): Bon choix à prix raisonnable pour Hawaïï - Bien situé pour visiter le parc des volcans. Nourriture laissée par proprio Rien en particulier
• jining (4/5): - Slow response, when we checked in there were food left in fridge.No towers. And second day, one light bulb keeps going on and off, messaged owner but reponsed very late. Breakfast were just some cereals and fruits. Not recommended.
• Cmerek (10/5): Best bed near National Volcano Park - The beds are super comfortable. Beautiful tropical landscape. Super nice host. Close proximity to National Volcano Park. None!
• Christopher (10/5): - Great quiet stay. Highly recommend! Close to the park and cool jungle setting.
• Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (10/5): Very close to the park! - It was an excellent stay. We flew to big Island trying to see the volcano erupting!
• Chien-min (5/5): Passable -
• Brandily (10/5): Great! - Beautiful property, comfortable accommodations. Everything we could have asked for! The owner even came and knocked on our to make sure we knew about the volcano eruption nearby that was going on late at night.
• Karen (9/5): Superb -
• Arun (9/5): Superb -
• Ekahi (10/5): - Super cool ohia and fern environment
• Patricia (8/5): - Unique decor.
• Christine (10/5): - Thank you for a unique experience. The papaya was delicious.
• Michael (6/5): Great location - Our room was a cross between a hotel and glamping. Nothing fancy, very basic. Great location if visiting the Hawaii Volcano National Park (which we were). Good value for the cost
• Nancy (10/5): Close to Kīlauea - This was a very comfortable place to stay very close to the national park. We were there for a very short stay but were very happy with our accommodations.
• Anna (10/5): A delightful, calming and comfortable place to stay for either a single or multi night stay. - Location in Volcano was perfect for our needs, while waiting for a Kilauea fountain display. We also truly enjoyed the quiet and serene atmosphere of this lodging with comfortable beds. The garden setting was incredible with numerous different types of colorful orchids, abundant anthuriums and beautiful ferns. It was a wow! There is a preserved original old growth forest to walk though at the nearby Volcano Art Center (located on the same road as the general store), and the Volcano town marketplace (have to check on open days) offered prepared meal choices, vendors with produce and baked goods. We loved our stay here, but will only mention a few things to expect. That is this is a rain forest type environment, so it’s good to happen to be traveling with a rain jacket for the frequent light shower. And being at 4000 ft elevation, one might be surprised at how cool it is for Hawaii, especially once the sun sets. The room has a space heater, which is perfectly adequate to take the damp chill out.
• Elisa (8/5): Tropical oasis - This is a unique place to stay. We had the "Honeymoon Suite" complete with a large inroom "terrarium" that looks like it might be a concerted hottub. It's separated from thr living area with glass, and has fish swimming around. Kind of Hawaii cool. The bathroom has a double shower with beautiful inlaid art. The hosts left us fresh fruit and snacks every day, and there's a convenient mini frig and micrwave, as well as dishes and utensils. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. The only negative was the whirlpool tub, which didn't look clean and was located in a somewhat isolated spot. The location is excellent for exploring Volcano National Park, and it met our needs. It's also beautifully landscaped with orchids and tropical flowers. I'd recommend to others.
• Christine (7/5): volcano vacation - loved the setting and the grounds very beautiful the bathroom sink countertop was super tiny with no sink stopper. I would have liked kitchen sink in the kitchenette. the provided breakfast was minimal, nothing hot only instant oatmeal and biscotti sticks ramen packs and no way to prepare your own since there's nothing to cook with only microwave. The Hot tub was old and half the jets didn't work duct tape patches and our second morning it was cold only 95° with dirt flowing around . everything else was fine.
• Sharada (8/5): A very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend to others. - I didn't realize it was like Bed and Breakfast until I reached the place. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is located in the midst of dense vegetation , just a little off-road. Shannon was very good in providing us timely instructions and information regarding directions, check-in, check-out, a list of restaurants/shops with phone numbers. It was a lovely stay. I enjoyed the quiet, the greenery. Had delicious fruit for breakfast. On the whole, a very comfortable stay. They thought of everything - extra blankets, drinking water supply, ample sockets for plugging in phones etc. The bathroom floors were chipped.
• Matt (9/5): Superb - Fantastic place to stay. really well located close to Volcano village (walk easily to the 3 or 4 restaurants that are there) large well appointed room, super clean and has everything you need. Photos dont do it justice, much better in person. Very comfortable beds, very friendly and accommodating hosts.
• Shannon (10/5): - The property is lush and beautiful. Their pictures don’t really capture how beautiful the property is. The room was as describe. Cozy beds, nice jet hot tub. The owners are thoughtful about their guests. Conveniently located near the HVNP.We will be back
• Rob (7/5): Solid accommodations if you want to explore the Big Island - The location was great. The room was perfectly fine. No frills, but it was clean and it had everything that was needed. The bed was comfortable. Great base location for exploring the island. The description of breakfast is a little bit of an embellishment. They were fresh fruits, instant oatmeal packets, and instant Ramen. But, I didn’t choose the lodge because of the breakfast description.
• Kathleen (8/5): Unique oasis in a tropical rain forest. - The location is perfect for visiting the Volcano Park. The property decor is unique and fits the rain forest theme. You can hear birds. King bed was comfortable. Host was very helpful when we asked a question. Directions were clear. Check out time of 11AM was generous. Bring flip flops to wear in the shower since the floor is pebbly (rustic and lavalike).
• Paul (4/5): Disappointing - Excellent location. Big room No sound insulation. You will hear others in the block regularly and be woken, even if you're a heavy sleeper. It's so poorly noise insulationed you will clearly hear the discussions about PB&j for breakfast Fruit and trail bars isn't what I expected as the "included breakfast"
• Ann (3/5): Not hygienic, very humid - Location very close to Volcano National Park We stayed in the ‘Orchid room’. The room (and everything inside the room) was very humid, strong mold smell. Although we kept all our cloths in our suitcase, they were humid after our 2-night stay. We are not difficult when traveling, but this place was really not hygienic. When neighbors take a shower or flush the toilet, it sounds as a ‘flash flood’ entering your room. Host not very friendly.
• Dolores (10/5): - Clean, quiet and great location to National Park.
• Curt (10/5): - Loved the secluded feel of the property, I felt like I was in my own little space. Definitely a one-of-a-kind place to stay! Shannon was a great host (and has the cutest little dog!) and long time resident of the area who shared a lot of knowledge about the volcano with me.
• Stephen (6/5): Less than optimal - The nice bowl of fruits.. The area of the Volcano. Very Quiet. Never met the owners. Caution bath hot water takes time to warm up, then is scalding hot. Statement of strong WIFI is far from the truth. Two Bars at best. Cut out twice at critical points in work. Over priced.
• Mandara (10/5): Nice Place - Nice place to stay! The property is lush with beautiful flowers, and the host answered all our questions and gave us great local recommendations. Only ten minutes’ drive to the park. Would definitely stay again.
