Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"If you are searching reviews in order to make a decision, STOP, and book this place. Great host. Wonderful, quiet location, comfy bed. Perfect place to stay while passing through town or staying to explore the Hilo side of the island. Highly recommend this host and will be back!"

Grand Historic Hilo House

8/10 Good

"Hilo House is a wonderful Hawaiian property! In and outdoor cooking facilities are excellent, great breakfast spots both in and out, sleeping arrangements are plentiful. It's hard to believe the house is as close to town that one can actually walk there."

Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was just as shown in the listing. The garden was better than expected. Beautifully landscaped, with lots of lighting at night. The coqui frogs serenaded us in the night time rains. There were many appliances and tech features. Any questions were answered immediately. This was a perfect place to relax with serenity after a long day sightseeing."

The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls

8/10 Good

"Flies in the barn was an extreme nuisance. Uncut grass from cabin 5 to the barn was annoying. The falls was a amazing. However, be extremely careful if you take the short hike because the uneven rocks is a challenge especially if it rain (9 out 10 times it'll rain). Despite that, Jordan, Abby, & Cady (not in order) was top of line from hospitality, interaction, professionalism, tidiness, etc. & they wasn't ugly :-)"

Private Tropical Guesthouse in Hilo with AC & Lush Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"We spent 3 nights at this unit and found it extremely spacious for two people, very well-equipped, clean, detailed instructions and excellent lists of restaurants, places to visit, and museums. It is less than a 15 minute drive to downtown Hilo. We had visited Hilo before and since this time we had rainy weather, we visited three museums: Mokupapapa Discovery Center, Lyman Museum and Iamoli Planetarium. They were all excellent. One restaurant we recommend is Moon and Turtle, sit at the bar, and enjoy a wonderful meal. We would return to this unit with no hesitation."
