"Punawai Hale Barn Bungalow at this property is a wonderfully atmospheric and memorable place to stay. The spacious room with its tropical décor feels warm and inviting, and the sunroom overlooking a lively duck pond adds a peaceful charm. With ducks, chickens, cockerels, sheep, and goats roaming the grounds, the property feels lovingly crafted and uniquely farm‑like, making our stay both relaxing and distinctive — but it’s best suited for guests who enjoy animals and don’t mind a farm‑style...

Top Thurston Lava Tube Hotel Reviews

Chalet Kilauea

10/10 Excellent

"Just stayed one night while visiting Hilo & Vocanoe area. This place is nice. For being in the rain forest it was great. Wife loved it. Would definitely stay & recommend to everyone."

The Pacifica Inn

8/10 Good

"The location was great! Minutes from Volcanoes National Park! Also it was close to some restaurants and gas! The place was spacious and had comfortable bedding. There was a heater for cooler nights! The coffee pod machine and fridge are such nice features!!!"

Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea

10/10 Excellent

"If you're looking for a resort or regular hotel, this isn't isn't it. This is a cabin in the woods, far enough from the highway that you can't hear it. It feels more isolated than it is. It's incredible being surrounded by nature! Coqui frogs serenade you to sleep every night and birds gently wake you up in the morning. The rain on the roof is a soothing sound and the cabin is built excellently! The oven is useful for cooking or reheating leftovers. And while the water from the tap isn't drinkable, they give you a gallon of drinking water daily. Definitely check in during daylight hours (which they strongly recommend) because google maps will get confused and tell you to take a non-existent route to your cabin."

Volcano Acres Ranch B&B

10/10 Excellent

Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Very nicely decorated. Could use more hooks for hanging"

Aloha Junction Guest House

8/10 Good

"This is an OK place if you're not looking for everything up to date and sleek. They provided breakfast fixing but we brought our own and left most of theirs untouched. The property is secluded and quiet as long as fellow travelers are quiet. nicely decorated and close to the National Park. a big plus"

8 minutes to Nat'l Park! Enjoy the sound of rain & birds in a peaceful retreat.

10/10 Excellent

"This unit is very special - it was, by far, the best of the three VRBOs we stayed in, during our two weeks in the islands. The location in the middle of the rain forest, is beautiful. The drive to Hawaii Volcanos NP takes less than 10 minutes. There are other houses along the road to the main highway, but the separation is such that there is no noise from other units. The living space is on the second floor, while the lower level provides covered parking. The unit has a very large combined living room/dining area/kitchen. All areas are well supplied. There is no central heating, but there are several local space heaters, including a propane "fireplace." The queen bed also has mattress heaters. The owners have labelled all appliances with thorough instructions, and included a multi-page notebook with information and instructions. There were 2 minor drawbacks: the road from the unit to the highway is in pretty poor shape, so one must drive 8-15 MPH for most of its length; the padlock on the gate to the property is difficult to open and close, especially if one has a little arthritis in one's hands. We would recommend that a better option be provided."

Lokahi Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay!!"

Maile Treehouse in Volcano, Hawaii is "Magical!"

10/10 Excellent

"This is truly a distinctive property- lovely inside and out. The lush backyard and gardens are unlike any other property we have enjoyed. The birdsong and night noises are enchanting. Proximity to Volcano National Park a huge bonus."
