Lovely grounds.plenty continental breakfast left in refrigerator so you can eat early. Room size fine. Could use slightly more comfortable chairs for collapsing after park. Also room for longer breakfast and end tables. All those electronics and planning maps/books/glasses have to rest somewhere...plenty resturants arround

The accommodations were amazing! The breakfast fresh and delicious! The grounds were beautiful! 5 minutes from the entrance to Volcano NP, 2 minutes from the Village, where you can pick up a awesome submarine sandwich to go for your hike. Make sure to vome back early (5 pm) and have dinner at Lava Rock cafe before they gwt busy.

All around amazing. The property itself is fantastic and great for people planning to go to volcano national park. The breakfast each morning was outstanding and more food than the two of us could eat! I don’t think we had a better breakfast anywhere. The only downside is the village of volcano has hardly any lunch or dinner options and dinner places close super early so plan accordingly

This is a really nice bed and breakfast right in Volcano. You are less than 5 minutes from the NP entrance, so the location is great. Check in was very easy and the owners are super nice. The room was very clean, updated and beautiful. There is a breakfast nook where we had breakfast already in our fridge for the morning to eat when we wanted. A nice table was set by the window. The food was delicious! We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast for a stay near Volcano NP.

Spent two days at this bed and breakfast. The location is just 5 minutes from Volcanoes National Park. The two sisters who own this b&b put a lot of effort into this and it shows. Breakfast is different everyday and it's enough to get the day started. This is a little oasis on the big island and I hope to come back again.

Wonderful Place to Stay in Volacano!
We had a tremendous stay at Hale 'Ohu. What a beautiful property! The room was very nice and the shower was amazing. The breakfast provided was also a great touch. Also- the bed was super comfortable and the room was sparkling clean. Contactless check-in and check-out was a great option during COVID. Definitely a great option if you're looking for a place near Volcano and I'd love to return and stay longer!

Paradise in the rainforest.
This B and B has everything you need for a comfortable stay while visiting Volcanoes National Park. Beautiful rainforest setting. Care and thoughtfulness went into the design of the room. Extra touches were evident: Ample towels, a special makeup remover towel, extra pillows, blankets on the lanai for chilly mornings, umbrellas, flashlight, even earplugs. We enjoyed the provided Kona coffee and wonderful breakfast while watching the rain and listening to the birds from the lanai. A lovely stay, wished it was for more than 1 night.

Lovely B&B!
We loved the B&B, the room was quite newly refurbished and hat a lovely patio facing the beautiful garden. Nicole was very welcoming and we especially liked the way she and her sister seemed to have thought of every little detail in the rooms and the services. For example breakfast: you find breakfast in the fridge, along with instructions on how to prepare the warm stuff in the microwave. I especially loved the banana bread! Volcano village itself is a nice and quiet place to stay, we would really recommend it and especially Hale'ohu B&B to everyone looking for a quiet and nice stay near Volcanoes N.P.
