Review from The Reed Team P.

My wife and I had a great experience at this place. We had a separate cabin in the forest that was really neat. It was cold and rainy outside and a big contrast from the rest of our Hawaii vacation. Friendly and efficient guy at the desk was very helpful and this place just made our experience of the valcano the best. If traveling from Kona it is best to spend the night in Volcano City

My wife and I stayed here one night while we were on the Big Island for our honeymoon. This was our least favorite of the places we stayed while on the Big Island, but that has more to do with the high quality of the others as opposed this location. There did not seem to be any better options in Volcano, but we only stayed one night in the area.
The room was fairly small but was clean overall and served its purpose. My wife commented that the bathroom was larger and had more room for her things than other B&Bs we stayed at. The breakfast, on the other hand, did not look or sound near as good as the free breakfasts available at other B&Bs, so we opted to not pay extra for it and went elsewhere to eat. -

We stayed in the Forest Bungalow and recommend it. There is a separate room and kitchen, bedroom, and jacuzzi bathtub, and shower. All rooms have wide windows which showcase the surrounding rainforest. The bungalow is away from other lodging. Quiet and clean. No dampness because of dehumidifiers in each room.

Pay attention to any instructions that came with your reservation for check-in and check-out off hours as there will be NO ONE around if you check in late.
Also, note that the reservation prices are for two persons regardless of how many people the room fits and they charge extra for additional people. For what it's worth, it's unlikely they would know you had more than two people unless you all walked into the lobby together.
We didn't have the continental breakfast, but I saw what they were serving. While it looked fresh, it was not worth the price when you can get a full egg breakfast at the Lava Rock Cafe for the same price.
The room was clean and the beds comfortable. There was a hot tub with temperature control availabe outside and that was VERY nice after a long day of hiking around the volcano. The common kitchen was clean and beautiful, but no one seemed to use it (most folks do not stay more than one night in the volcano area). The common living area had horribly uncomfortable chairs and couches. -

Minuses: Dingy, clammy, damp room with dust and hair on bathroom floor. No breakfast -- go down the road to Lava Rock cafe for a good meal. We thought we were getting the room in the loft, instead had a ground floor room, but since we never saw it, maybe it wasn't any better.
Pluses: it's REALLY close to the entrance to Volcano National Park, and not too expensive. -

Very clean and quiet (I think there was only one other party besides us). We found this place the morning of, so we weren't too picky. A bit creepy here because there really isn't much company. Free internet and very close to the entrance of the Volcano National Park.

Cute and cozy. Very clean, although damp - it is a rain forest after all.
We had the tree house suite which was two levels. Space was cut up strangely. The bottom level was a kitchenette and huge bathroom. The bathroom had a porch off it where you could sip a drink and watch the rain come down. You get to the top level by spiral staircase - not great for hauling luggage. How did they get a king bed up their???
Free wifi was a welcome relief after paying $15/day at the resort hotels. The staff was very friendly and interesting to talk to. They were doing some renovations while we were there which was somewhat inconvenient. The grounds are beautiful and there's a bull frog in the koi pond. -

Driving up to the volcano, you begin to realize that the climate is changing....rapidly. I, for one, felt happy to be out of the blazing sun for a day or so and into a more temperate climate. With no reservations, no solid plan, and rain pouring down, we ascended upon the village of Volcano with little more than bug spray and rain gear. The (three) hotels in the village were all booked save one lone cottage at chalet kilauea.
Sometimes, when one room remains, instead of feeling victorious or fortunate, do you feel suspicious?
Our cottage was the Rainforest Cottage and indeed, it was situated smack dab in the center of the rain and forest. And yes, the carpet was damp- actually, most everything was damp. Despite that, it was a great place to spend the night. We were in a cute little bungalow off-site from the hotel proper. Two televisions, a (barely used) kitchenette, and a cream colored leather sofa were ours for the night. The bed was cozy and a potbelly stove promised to keep us warm.
But wait, there's more! Back at the main hotel, a lovely living room is set up for all guests to use replete with wifi, an abundance of reading material, comfy and clean couches, and tea. Lovely. And $135/night.
