Hilo: pousadas

Absolutely gorgeous surroundings, a simple but clean room, close to the Volcanoes National Park, wish we could have stayed longer

I was able to check in at midnight for one night stay after volcano eruption viewing. Host gave clear instructions about late check in. Room was nice with comfortable beds. We didn't get enough time to enjoy the jacuzzi but had a nice morning walk in the area.

Is it possible to give 10 stars instead of 5? This is most possibly the best AirBNB experience anywhere. The host meets you at the door, brings your luggage up to your room, gives you an orientation to more amenities than I’ve ever seen. Everything from guidebook Stephen ocular‘s, a medical cabinet, snacks, and the most beautiful Hawaiian breakfast served I’ve ever seen. Views from both the small dining room as well as the bedroom worth the stuff that dreams are made of! I would never stay anywhere else in Hilo ever again. Highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful, relaxing time here. We’d definitely come back again. The location is convenient to nearby attractions and restaurants.

I had a great time in this place, very peaceful, beautiful, so much nature and great host. William is a wonderful person, he recommended very nice places interesting and beautiful to visit. I did all of them and every place he recommended was amazing. If you are looking a place to find peace and meet wonderful people, this place in “Hilo” in one of them. I want to come back again. This land is wonderful, exquisite, peaceful a place to talk its God under the Milky Way . Thank you William for your wonderful company.

We had a lovely stay at this B&B. The fresh breakfast was delicious, and the room was very comfortable. It's also within walking distance to a few of the charming Hilo museums! We enjoyed everything about the stay.

We stayed at Volcano Village Estates on 3/23/2025, our stay was spectacular. We were maybe 6 minutes away from the National Park, and then 25 minutes for a major grocery store. This spot is perfect for us you want to go to the NP at night to watch the lava (if there is any). John was extremely welcoming and attentive to all of our questions and issues. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this for while staying here in volcano.

We enjoyed being within walking distance to our favorite snorkeling spot in Hilo, at Richardson Park. Claudia is a charming host that will prepare a fabulous breakfast every morning with fresh fruits and other treats. Ask for the waffles, made on the spot! Sleeping to the sound of the frogs and the rain makes you feel that you are in the middle of the jungle. There are mosquitos outside but none inside.

Lovely staycation :-)

Loved this private place in the rainforest setting and the recycling energy saving methods used here, comfy and quiet and minutes from the park. Only issue was finding it in the dark, the road is very dark and hard to see what driveway to enter..

Great stay! House manager was friendly and communicated well. Even suggested to go look at the stars on a clear night which was outstanding. Breakfast was great and we truly enjoyed our stay

This accommodation was one of our favorites during our stay on the Big Island. The property is beautiful and we loved the constant sound of the waterfall next to our room for 2 nights. Sadly the waterfall was too rough to enter the day we planned to go SUPing, so we never got to have that experience, but we would happily return!

Great place on short notice! Very clean!! Would have stayed another night but we did not read no tv😂

After reading all the reviews of our place, we were excited to have hosts that sounded hospitable and helpful; unlike our stay on the Kona side. At first they both seemed disinterested (or shy?) in us. We were surprised, but went on our way and talked to other guests. By day 2 we interacted more with Cheryl and found she is actually an amazing host and wealth of information!! Breakfast will be great as said in many of the reviews. They have thought of everything a guest could need (and if not, they WILL run out and get it!) Stay here if going to Hilo!

We had such a wonderful time with Chad and Jennifer. The property was so much more than we even thought. The property is so beautiful and well maintained. Truly unique property with unparalleled beauty. Chad and Jennifer are such gracious, informative hosts. We will definitely look to stay again. Highly recommend. This is a special experience and stay, far beyond what can be described. The pictures, although beautiful, don’t come anywhere near to describing it.

This beautiful location for the bed and breakfast is along a river with access to a lovely waterfall. The accommodations were simple and very comfortable. The surroundings are serene and very special. We enjoyed the short hike down and swimming under the powerful waterfalls. The morning (when sun shines in the water) is best time to check it out. The staff are helpful and kind. It's a great place to stay if you are checking out nearby Hilo or other sites east side of island.

Sarah’s place was such an incredible spot, surrounded by natural beauty and a warm, spacious, clean and wonderful room. Sara was super friendly and helpful - we felt right at home. Would 100% go back again!

Vina ist eine tolle Gastgeberin! Die Kommunikation war immer prompt und sehr freundlich. Eine sehr authentische Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage. In Kombination mit einem Fahrzeug von PunaBob das beste auf Big Island!

The location was beautiful, the community was fabulous, I've never been somewhere that the other guests were so chatty and welcoming. It was my first time in Hawaii, first vacation in over a decade, and it was magical! I will definitely be staying here again when I'm on the big island! The Monday night bbq is a big event that brings members of the community from all over the island! The kitchen was great, but some other guests' items had spilled into my section of the fridge but no biggie as I didn't have much I needed space for since I was planning to try as much local food as I could. I would recommend that, even if you plan to eat out, you should bring coffee and/or breakfast type snacks as the nearest town is about a 15 minute drive. There was a breakfast service available that I didn't take advantage of because I was going to local restaurants. 11/10 Thanks for the stay Mathew! I had an absolutely amazing time and I wish I'd been staying longer!

I stayed at Hale Laule‘a for 2.5 weeks, and it was transformational. Week 1 in the Cottage, Week 2 in the Solar. I also toured The Banyan—all lovely! As a solo female traveler and Integrative Health Coach, I prioritized safety, nature access, reliable Wi-Fi, and quiet spaces to meditate, work, and be. This property exceeded all expectations, and I rarely saw another guest. The nearby walking paths offered breathtaking, crowd-free views of streams, jungle, and ocean—daily walks were a dream. The Olympic-size lap pool was always peaceful, and the rooms were beautifully appointed and had all I needed to prepare clean meals. For what you get—space, privacy, nature, amenities—the price is more than fair. Hosts Jennifer and Chad are generous, kind, and gifted at what they do. I canceled other travel plans to stay longer, and I'm already planning my next visit. Whether solo, a couple, spiritual, or not, this place is inclusive, peaceful, and deeply healing. 10/10 recommend!

Kelly was a very responsive and welcoming host.She did offer breakfast everyday,but I started out very early so couldn't eat it.Kelly was very kind enough to save me some leftover muffins (which she promises in description).Place is nicely tucked in at the end of the street. Will stay with her again whenever I come back to Hilo,still a few things left to enjoy in Hilo.
