"Hilo House is a wonderful Hawaiian property! In and outdoor cooking facilities are excellent, great breakfast spots both in and out, sleeping arrangements are plentiful. It's hard to believe the house is as close to town that one can actually walk there."

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 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."

Escape to your private oasis perched on a cliff with a jungle view

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing time staying at this property. The host was super responsive to any questions we had. The neighborhood the property is located in is a very nice tucked away corner from the rest of Hilo yet right around the corner from downtown. Perfect little hideaway for our trip. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again."

The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls

8/10 Good

"Flies in the barn was an extreme nuisance. Uncut grass from cabin 5 to the barn was annoying. The falls was a amazing. However, be extremely careful if you take the short hike because the uneven rocks is a challenge especially if it rain (9 out 10 times it'll rain). Despite that, Jordan, Abby, & Cady (not in order) was top of line from hospitality, interaction, professionalism, tidiness, etc. & they wasn't ugly :-)"
