Top Ookala Hotel Reviews

Ocean View Mountain Home by Akaka Falls.

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place, enjoyed our stay!"

Honomu Place - Resort Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of twelve traveled to Honomu right after the largest hurricane the island had seen in over 150 years. We almost canceled, but this trip was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime “final hurrah” for my in‑laws, who rarely travel and don’t plan to fly again. When the airline confirmed it was safe, we decided to go — not realizing the island would be without power for several days.Even with a 3–4 day outage, this stay became one of the most meaningful vacations we’ve ever had. The home is beautiful, full of natural light, and surprisingly comfortable even without electricity. We spent our days enjoying the property, cooking on the barbecue, using ice chests, talking, laughing, and truly reconnecting as a family. It felt like “mansion camping,” and somehow it was perfect.Our host was incredible. They checked in often, opened an extra room for us, kept us updated on the local situation, and even had a neighbor stop by to welcome us and share where we could find internet and supplies. As soon as the weather cleared, they sent someone to clean the pools so we could enjoy the outdoor space. Their kindness made a challenging situation feel safe and supported.When the power finally returned, the host generously extended our stay for free, allowing us to fully enjoy the home. Despite the hurricane, this was one of my favorite vacations ever. The house was amazing, the host was amazing,My kids are already begging to return and missing the stuffed animal turtles!"

Mahana House Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Mahana House is a gorgeous space where seemingly everything has been thought about and tended to. The hosts are kind, gracious, and welcoming. They're as available as you need them to be, and when my mom and I were caught in a tropical storm and literally not even sure we'd make it to the inn, they were continuously available and responsible, without having electricity themselves. This is a truly beautiful, special place, and I hope to go back!"

SPECIAL RATE - New Waimea Listing 2BR/2BA

10/10 Excellent

"Based on the previous reviews, we felt good about booking this newer listing. Kalani is an excellent host and did his best to help us feel welcome and comfortable. The home is even nicer in-person than in the photos! We would definitely book again for future trips to Hawaiʻi Island. Thanks so much for a beautiful stay in Waimea town!"

Oceanfront Getaway w/ A/C in Gated Hamakua Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Joe & Cindy's Luxury Oceanfront Guest House in Pepeekeo was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I to stay during our visit to Big Island. It is beautifully and comfortably designed and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals here and everything necessary was supplied. You have to check out the water view from the cliff - it's outstanding and worthy of photos and a picnic. The extremely private cottage is a short drive from Hilo and the directions and check in/check out processes were so easy. Joe & Cindy made themselves available, yet they weren't overbearing like some hosts. We would definitely stay here again when we return!"

"The land of Sunshine" - fantastic ocean views, peaceful, romantic getaway

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing place!! The view is spectacular and the location is perfect for just about everything on the northeast side of the island. Jim is a wonderful host and a lot of fun. We will certainly stay again when we return."
