Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel
6/10 Okay
"Be prepared to be hot at night. No AC units. Very warm even with windows open and portable fans in room. Old place but we only had one night"
Lokahi Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"The room was incredibly spacious, with a king bed, vaulted ceilings, and a cozy wood stove. There was also a charming alcove with an additional full bed overlooking the garden, with windows lining the entire side of the room. The location was quiet, with beautiful birdsong in the morning and frogs chirping at night, which made for the best night’s sleep of our entire trip. The space was spotless and had the feel of a peaceful jungle lodge — exactly what we were looking for. Plus, it’s only five minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Everything was communicated clearly well in advance, and the self check-in/check-out process was seamless."
Ma'ukele Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Staying here was a once in a lifetime experience! We were just steps away from the ocean which was breathtaking to view from lava rock cliffs. Our accommodations really set the vibe for this part of the Big Island. It was very tropical and like living in a rain forest with the greenery and fragrant flowers. The outdoor shower was a refreshing experience ( though an indoor shower is available, this outdoor shower is a must-do). Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, many little thoughtful touches. The accommodations were very clean. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. They are very passionate about living on this part of the island and eager to share their excitement with you. Breakfasts are delicious! Especially all of the fresh fruit. The lodge is a destination in and of itself, not just a place to sleep after seeing other places on the island."
Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
6/10 Okay
"it’s a nice location, but there’s a lot of construction going on not only in the surrounding landscape but also inside the hotel. There’s a resort fee being charged every day and it’s really just a simple pool. Nothing fancy I wouldn’t say it’s really a resort. A resort really does have quite a few other amenities. There’s only one restaurant and room service only comes every other day. also, for those people who are in a balcony room in the front of the hotel, you’re going to hear a loud buzzing noise every time he goes, sit on the patio from some transformer downstairs."

"Ocean front view is good"
The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls
10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in one of the small cabins and it was fine for what I wanted. It had a comfortable bed, it had USB charging station, a mirror, a bar to hang your cloathes on and some side tables and benches. The water in the shower was hot. It really has a great atmosphere there, the folks that work there a nice and helpful. This is on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii and that's the reason I chose it. Please read about this place before you book it, go stay there and gripe about it. The property is hydro and solar powered. I could listen to the river all night. There are 2 areas to stay there, one is the B&B part of the property and then there is the part of the property with cabins with a big barn that has the community kitchen upstairs, the outdoor showers and bathrooms though you can eat at the main house restaurant. Be prepared to look in the mirror with the sunshine and seeing all the wrinkles on your face! I had a great stay there, very enjoyable. I did not utilize any of the equipment as I am not a fan of cellular phones and QR Codes. I did not eat there in the restaurant however, there is plenty of fresh food there at the main house from the farm!!! I enjoyed this stay as I had split my stay on the big island 4 days here on the east side of the island and four days on the west side in a hotel. Buddha statues are at the gate."
