Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older hotel, so some of the normal building elevators were slow"

Private Room on Serene Property in Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"Cute little cottage, met our needs 100%. Tulpe was easy to get in contact with if we needed her. Beautiful place, we’ll definitely be back "

Charming 3-bedroom home in Hilo town

8/10 Good

"Our family enjoyed our stay at the Charming Hilo House. We were here only for 3 days and the house was centrally located to the shopping mall, market, and all the places we needed to be for our 2-day family events.The owner‘s brother greeted us when we arrived, and we chatted for a while. From the outside you couldn’t tell, but once you were inside, the home was very spacious, clean, and accommodated our family of 8 adults, 1 child & 2 infants. Love the large living room (A on Roku), kitchen/dining area and the 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms met all our needs. No air conditioning, but that was okay as the fans help and the coqui frogs also help put us to sleep. Love the fact that you had checked-out instructions, but what suggest you get new hampers. We certainly enjoyed our weekend at your Charming Hilo home!"

Charming Historic Hilo House – Minutes to Beach!

8/10 Good

"The home is in a great location. Very spacious for my family of 4. Check in process was easy. The only issue we had wasn't with the home. The neighbor's dogs barked all night. No control over that."

Puakenikeni Hilo Hale

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here while exploring Hilo. It is a great location -- close to restaurants and attractions in town, and not too far from the botanical garden, waterfalls, and other area activities. The host was responsive to all communications and provided helpful information within the unit. We enjoyed our stay!"

Hale Kawehi BnB Guesthouse In Quaint Downtown Hilo, Hawaii. PL-USE-2022-000007

10/10 Excellent

"Hale Kawehi is a very unique and more than accommodating place to stay. Clean, plenty of space to meet all of our needs. Easy access to town for shops & restaurants. Private covered parking. Kawehi is a wonderful host and provides above and beyond. Highly recommend!Mahalo!"

Hale Kawehi B&B Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing house, with about 4-5 rooms all to ourselves. There was full kitchen and cooking facilities, and some snacks and cooking materials (milk, sauces, etc) had been left for us to use. Each room was an Aladdin's cave of souvenirs and oddities, attached to the wall or ceiling. There was an amazing little garden, with a pond, which had some very noisy frogs in it. There was veranda and porch, so we could sit outside and have a drink. It was like living in a hobbit house or something out of a fairy tale, and made the experience truly magical. Shops were a 20min walk or 5min drive away, but once shopping was done there was a huge fridge to store it all in. All mod cons were there, TV, aircon (in the bedroom), shower, wifi, etc. There was even a cheap laundry service with 24h return. It also had a free covered off-road parking space. If you want somewhere to stay that is truly memorable, stay here. It beats a boring hotel any day!"
