Calming comfortable place amongst the...

Liked: Excellent location, close to Volcanoes National Park. Nestled within trees, lots of birdsong. My husband enjoyed the night frogsong. Spacious room and lots of hooks to hang clothes and towels! Nice ripe papayas at breakfast.
Disliked: Some instructions on preferred way to do dishes.

Good stay. Delivered everything as...

Liked: In room continental-type breakfast with tea/coffee items, fruit/nut bars, biscuits and nice selection of fruit.Great location/minutes drive convenient to Volcanoes Park.Very quiet setting in rain forest.
Disliked: As clearly advertised beforehand, this particular unit lacks a standard stand-up shower. Hand held shower without a mount while in a tub is a minor inconvenience when cleaning up. Trade-off is that it’s a jacuzzi tub.

Bad attitude, very dirty place.

Liked: Nothing. The person who took our call had an attitude when we called to ask questions about directions since it was confusing.
Disliked: It was filthy. It smelled moldy upon walking in. There was pink moldy filth in the bathroom. Everything was filthy.

A cute, comfy place for...

Liked: Shannon greeted us warmly and showed us to the room as soon as we pulled in. The location is great for a trip to Kilauea and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Althought it is on a road with several other homes and BnBs, the lodge is nestled in it's own stand of trees, so it feel completely secluded. The room (#2) was cute and comfy. I loved being in the middle of all the trees; and we appreciated the fruit for breakfast!
Disliked: The property is advertised as having a kitchenette, which led me to expect a kitchen sink and a cook top, electric burner, or grill - some sort of appliance to cook food that cannot be microwaved (i.e. chicken, burgers, fish, rice). We spent the morning at the farmer's market with plans to make a simple dinner at the AirBnb. With only one knife, an unstable cutting board, one small sink in the bathroom and no option for cooking; I was a bit frustrated and did not feel the unit was properly represented on the site. We thought the room was cute and comfy, and I know Hawaii is expensive, so it was priced fair for what I expected - I just expected something different based on the website. I just like to cook dinner, explore, relax, and check out the scenery at the end of a long day - which is the main reason I look for great BnB options. This one is like a hotel room, but it's perfectly fine for anyone wanting to eat out most meals. A better online description would be very helpful.

great place to stay when...

Liked: the owner provided detailed check informaton and directions before hand. The room and bed sheets are very clean. snacks and fruits were also provided .
Disliked: none

Fine, but probably not something...

Liked: Great location! Cozy little spot.
Disliked: A bit disturbing to pull up to a CLOSED sign on the office (even though I already had all the instructions I needed to check in) and a fair amount of clutter, plus a pool, very visible even though not a part of the rental unit, that had clearly not been cleaned for many weeks. Made me wonder what I was walking into.

Unique place to stay close...

Liked: Great room with lots of seating, clean bathroom, unique space. Nice to have a fridge and utensils as well as snacks and coffee/tea. Fantastic location close to the park.
Disliked: Light bulb over one side of bed was missing!

Exceptional

Passable

Liked: The only reason we stayed there is due to it's close position to the park.
Disliked: It's not as clean as expected.
