"We had the ocean view room on the second floor. It was newly renovated, with a beautiful private bathroom and beautiful wood work throughout. We were a bit spoiled when we were there, since there were no other guests on our floor during our stay. The kitchen and living room were spacious and well equipped, and Josh was always there to help us if we needed it. We would definitely stay here in the future"

"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Nice place with clean room."

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!"

Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time staying at Lava Rock Retreat. Two years ago, we stumbled upon this fabulous rental, and now we are fulfilling our promise to always add a few days here on every future Hawaii trip. We planned time here with the full intention to just enjoy the peacefulness of this property and keep the sightseeing activities to a minimum – that’s how much we love it. This home is pristine. Nothing is out of place, even the utensils are still perfectly aligned (which suits my OCD tendencies very nicely). I was so happy to see that there is not one sign of wear and tear at all, it is still in the same perfect condition we found it the first time. And bonus - the evening rain paired with the coqui frogs mating call creates the perfect symphony to which we fall asleep very easily.The owners are very sweet, non-intrusive, and have thought of every single detail in this home to ensure your stay is perfect. Will keep returning even after we've exhausted every activity, tourist site, and restaurant Hilo has to offer...because it is just such a treat to stay here. Aloha!"

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!"
