This was our favorite place we stayed throughout our two week trip on the Big Island and Kauai. The staff was very helpful and the room we stayed in was super cozy. It was private and relaxing. I will definitely recommend this place to others and be going back to stay next time I’m on the Big Island!

Nice Quiet, Comfortable, Expensive Inn
This is a nice little Inn. Very comfortable and quiet. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Great WIFI. A few breakfast options. The only downsides is its out of the area for cafes, etc and was high priced (even by Hawaii standards).

Unique Experience Fit for Few Travelers
This was not a good experience at all. For those that are looking for a very specific experience, this is the place for them. That experience includes loud car noises from the adjacent street, extremely loud frogs outside, and a detached, shared shower and bathroom. It is also far away from anything that you may want to do in the area. My wife and I were exhausted from our outdoor activities on Big Island and could not sleep. We actually went to a different hotel and sacrificed the cost of our reservation to sleep in an actual hotel.

Friendly staff, clean but uncomfortable premises
The staff was very friendly and the rooms were immaculate. However, there's no microwave on the premises, no places to hang towels in the rooms, and no comfortable places to sit. One week ago, they promised us a discount which has not yet arrived. We enjoyed eating the fresh fruit that was grown in the yard, and it was nice to have laundry facilities. Since this is quite a new establishment, I'm sure they're still ironing out the kinks in the business.

Wery nice B&B countryside lovely
We came in late and did not get to meet owner in person. But we received text with detailed explanation of everything. When we get there we found nice room, there was nice notes and reminders all throwout the house, that made us feel welcomed and at home. We was able to use washer and dryer. It's in countryside so we heard loud nature noises but it's all was good and relaxing. In the morning we found breakfast in the kitchen very nice. I'd stay again if visit Big Island next time. In fact, we liked it better then Kona hotels.

Zen B&B walking distance from lava tube cave
We loved this zen B&B- we were able to get right into the Aloha spirit. The property was beautiful, full of exotic fruit trees and plants. We liked that it is on the edge of the busy town, close to Rainbow Falls & the lava tube. On sunny days, we had views of Mauna Kea's summit from our bedroom. We enjoyed the clean room with the comfortable bed and good quality bed sheets, towels, robes and Netflix. The freshly cut anthurium flowers from the property added a luxury touch to the comfortable room. The B&B offered organic oranges and limes that were harvested on the property. They even offered macadamia nuts from the property that you can freshly crack yourself along with Kona coffee. Also, the access to laundry machine and a dryer as well as free laundry detergent was a nice plus and made us feel very comfortable.

Beautiful, clean property... but night noises.
The property was nice, clean and conveniently located to Hilo (and the new ocean entry lava flow we had come to see). The ear plugs (multiple packages in the room and private half-bathroom) were definitely a heads up about the noise: between coqui frogs all night and the roosters that started at 3 am, plus the thin walls allowed every sound to travel from the other guests, doors closing throughout the house, and even car doors outside. My wife struggled to get any sleep, so if you are a light sleeper, this is not a good option for you.

Very clean, friendly. Not a great location.
The guesthouse is very clean and well appointed. The staff was very friendly. It has a well supplied kitchen. Breakfast was very basic. The beds are very comfortable and rooms come with tv, bath robes, ear plugs, etc. However the location is run down in a neighborhood far from town, complete with barking dogs, rooster, and car noise from the main road.

Laid back, quiet
We were the only ones there that night. It was nice to be independent and not be served or waited upon. Breakfast was help yourself. It was like being in our own house.

Die Zimmer sind nett gestaltet.
Die Unterkunft ist klein und von Innen Liebevoll gestaltet. Es gibt drei vermietete Zimmer, die von dem Gemeinschaftsraum mit Küche abgehen. Alles war sauber. Der Zugang/ Einchecken ist jederzeit aufgrund eines Codeschlosses möglich. Die Lage ist etwas abseits in einem Wohngebiet; ohne Auto kann man nichts erreichen.

ヒロ郊外の素敵な隠れ家
ヒロ旧市街からクルマで10分程度の郊外にある小さなB&Bです。 スタッフは親切でフレンドリーですが、コミュニケーションは英語を多少理解できないと厳しいかも。 建物は平屋のロッジ風でカワイイ雰囲気です。 トイレとシャワー、キッチンは宿泊者共有ですが、我々が宿泊した時は皆さん親切でした。 全部で3室の小さなお宿ですので、好き嫌いはあると思いますが、想い出に残る風情があったと思います。 あと、最後に横道に道路から入っていくのですが、その横道があまり目印が無く、小さな道なので分かりにくいです。
