霍爾基拉韋厄熔巖旅舍(Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea)

Positives: located two miles outside Volcanoes Nat’l Park, very peaceful, bed is small but comfortable, was reasonably clean, and the staff was super friendly. They left a nice little basket with a couple of bananas, etc. Negatives: aside from a newer frig, everything else seems to be from the 70’s and not in a cool retro way—in a falling apart, worn out way. Dish towels and dishes were old, matted, sticky. The musty, mildew smell was powerful. Was overpriced relative to its condition; glad we had it booked for just one night.

I loved this place, stayed in August with my adult children, plenty of room, loved sitting outside in the mornings, star gazing at night. Extra nice touch of fruit and muffins for breakfast, thanks to everyone for making this a memorable vacation!

You are paying for location and access to the National Park. We arrived after dark having discovered that checkin was a two hour window that with car rental collection in Kona, which was a farce, made it impossible to achieve. The lodge we were staying in was very difficult to find, my daughters have completed many orienteering courses in their late teens and it took us nearly an hour to find. Up and down various roads with multiple obstacles in the rain, eventually we arrived and everyone was very uncomfortable in the environment. We had two lodges booked but all stayed together for safety as we felt very exposed. When we awoke the next morning it was a stunningly beautiful, tranquil spot in a rain forest on the edge of the volcano park and we all felt a bit stupid for how we felt the night before. The accommodation is very basic and doesn’t reflect the price paid but the location was fantastic in day light. We were in the park before 8am and did the whole park by 2pm so we achieved what we wanted from staying here, probably would stay further out in Hilo if doing it again though?

This is my second time staying. Property is good, very convenient if you are visiting the park. This time the cleanliness was a little issue. These cabins are very moist so they have dehumidifiers provided. When I walked into our cabin it wasn’t running and smelled very damp. The couch had lots of mold in the cracks as well as the pillows. There was also urine left in our toilet. Other than those issues, stay was good, fresh water and fruits provided.

Beautiful, tranquil property! Loved the cabin feel! Plenty of beds! Very secluded and quiet! No portable drinking water was ok but unexpected.

It was lovely once we got to the room. The check in/out was odd, in a True Value store, and was only between the hours of 3:00-5:00pm. That should be noted somewhere, we arrived at 5:00 and almost missed it.

This was a lovely cabin close to the park! No complaints except for the weather and you know…no rain, no rainforest!!!

The house was great. The only issue was the cable was hooked up but didn't work. However, there was wifi so we watch from our streaming apps.

Quiet, serene, beautiful cottage in the middle of lush green nature and lots of flowers.... loved it. Price is on the high side and I had to wait for more than half an hour at the restaurant to check in after a long flight from Canada. Check in/out process could be a little more user friendly.
