Top Joint Astronomy Centre Hotel Reviews

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

Private Room on Serene Property in Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent for solo traveler or 2 people. Nice, clean studio with a parking space. Comfortable bed and a nice closet. Use the ceiling fan to draw down the cool air from the ac. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, food trucks and shopping. Also close access to downtown and Mamalahoa highway. Host replies quickly, is friendly and easy to talk with. I would definitely return for another stay."

Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!

"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 home was just as shown in the listing. The garden was better than expected. Beautifully landscaped, with lots of lighting at night. The coqui frogs serenaded us in the night time rains. There were many appliances and tech features. Any questions were answered immediately. This was a perfect place to relax with serenity after a long day sightseeing."

Welcome to Our Little Hilo Hideaway - 3 Bedroom Home

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Quite neighborhood."

Charming Historic Hilo House – Minutes to Beach!

8/10 Good

"The house was a good size and at a decent location not far from downtown Hilo and on the way to Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park. The house is a bit on the older side. Although it doesn’t have AC, we didn’t need it in early September as there are fans in every room and it cooled down at night. There is an invasive frog on Hawaii and it croaks really loudly at night so I recommend taking ear plugs or ear buds to wear. The property manager was very responsive whenever I contacted him."
