Hamakua Guesthouse

"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!"

Top Joint Astronomy Centre Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

2/10 Terrible

"Horrible environment."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value budget hotel right on the bay in Hilo. The property is quite old, showing wear but room was clean, comfortable with fresh towels, shampoo etc, all the basics you need. It's classic old school ceiling fan and air vents rather than AC. There is occassion airport noise. Hilos airport is close to town so you can hear it as many locations, but airport isnt that busy. The hotel is not flashy at all but good value for those on budget given location. My rooms balcony directly overlooked shoreline."

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!"

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"it’s a nice location, but there’s a lot of construction going on not only in the surrounding landscape but also inside the hotel. There’s a resort fee being charged every day and it’s really just a simple pool. Nothing fancy I wouldn’t say it’s really a resort. A resort really does have quite a few other amenities. There’s only one restaurant and room service only comes every other day. also, for those people who are in a balcony room in the front of the hotel, you’re going to hear a loud buzzing noise every time he goes, sit on the patio from some transformer downstairs."

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!"
