"The property owner never responded to multiple messages. The link that VRBO sent with check in information was blank, and the host never provided directions or instructions to access the property. When I called him, the phone didn’t even connect to a voice mail. I think we were scammed."

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent
"The property is great. Breakfast was good and had good choices. Omelette bar, fruits, hot entrees, coffee, cappuccino, fruit drinks, etc. The food was the same everyday, though. But still good variety to start the day. The restaurant food and drink prices are quite high. More economical and better food options, to catch an uber and go to a soda (restaurant). The hot springs options at the hotel were great. After a long day out, it was nice to come back and relax in the pool and hot springs. Service is great and personnel are very attentive and courteous. Highly recommended!! "
