Top Pu'u 'O'o Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Private Tropical Guesthouse in Hilo with AC & Lush Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The property was exactly as advertised and served the purpose. It was a clean, comfortable place to stay and use as a home base from which to plan our excursions mainly to Volcanoes, but to other points on the island as well. The internet was excellent, we were provided with various streaming services as well as laundry. I could not have asked for anything else."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

Chalet Kilauea

Howzit Hostels Hawaii

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Howzit Hostels was incredible, special shout-out to Jane, Lanna Victoria and Veronica for being so welcoming. Riley for her amazing pancakes in the mornings, and oscar and Rochelle for the great conversations!!! Definitely come back again!"

Volcano Acres Ranch B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Punawai Hale Barn Bungalow at this property is a wonderfully atmospheric and memorable place to stay. The spacious room with its tropical décor feels warm and inviting, and the sunroom overlooking a lively duck pond adds a peaceful charm. With ducks, chickens, cockerels, sheep, and goats roaming the grounds, the property feels lovingly crafted and uniquely farm‑like, making our stay both relaxing and distinctive — but it’s best suited for guests who enjoy animals and don’t mind a farm‑style environment."

Kikala Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous setting and a nicely appointed house - had everything we needed! Communication through text/email for the check-in process was very straightforward. Our kids had a blast playing in the waterfall and sleeping in the loft. The stargazing is AMAZING if you get a clear night. This was a perfect, peaceful home base for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island!"

Hand Crafted Luxury Home with 2 Bedrooms, Jacuzzi & Fireplace

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Very very nice inside and out. Quiet and comfortable. Very close to the volcano and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed an extra day. Spend a day and evening at the volcano and another down to the ocean and sites along the way. A great home base for an adventurous family, play hard all day and relax for the evening in comfort. We have been traveling for a week so the washer/dryer in the attached garage was timely. Wouldn’t hesitate to return here in the future.Thank you. Don and Catherine"

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"The room came with an amazing view and had good facilities. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it would've been lovely with the sunset. The kitchenette was well stocked and the room and hostel was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend for someone to stay here."
