Very accommodating had everything you need for a comfortable stay and for the price you simply cannot beat it would recommend to anyone staying in the big island of Hawaii also love the fact that's it's a 5 minute drive to the nationalbpwrk
The room was amazing. I loved the sounds of the birds and frogs. The garden was beautiful and the property well maintained. Even though they say it’s an old house and you might hear people in other rooms, I did not. I never waited for a bathroom to use either. It was a quiet and peaceful stay just 5 minutes outside the park. It was nice having a full kitchen as well.
Unique experience, a stay at an old Hawaiian house we had to ourselves. Old and quaint but in good condition. Very convenient for visiting Volcanoes NP and a few dining options nearby.
Unique old charm in a building from 1912. No issues sharing the bathrooms. Comman area good with fridge and cooking options. Limited dining options however super convenient for volcano exploring.

There is a lot of noise, but it’s the sounds of beautiful birds chirping . The neighborhood felt safe and tranquil.
Not having someone there was convenient and kind of odd at the same time. It’s a very creaky house due to its age. The price is the best I saw on the whole island. Pretty far from the bigger towns though.
Volcano Hale is excellent at what it says it is, and I therefore give it 5 stars. It is not an Inn or an Hotel! It is, though, a fun, comfortable, eclectically decorated self-catering place. So you check yourself in to a spacious vintage house, cook your own food, share bathrooms, and (most importantly) you clean up after yourself. The bedrooms are quite nice. You will also meet lovely new people at the breakfast table, or when you return each evening from a thrilling day of peering into volcanoes. Highly recommended as fun, different, interesting, comfortable, and good value.
Overall I'd give 4.5 stars. Great location if you want to be close to the National Park. I received a free upgrade to the king room on the ground floor, but there was a persistent musty smell, similar to a gym locker. The dehumidifier in the room would not work, despite the instructions to juggle the tank until the light turns off. I suspect this is the cause of the smell. Otherwise the accomodations were fine, bed was not very comfortable but worked after a long day hiking. Check in and check out were easy and there was enough space for parking. I would stay here again for the price and proximity to the park.
The house is in a lovely area, close to the volcano national park, which is what brought us here. Owner was easily reachable. Facility has lots of supplies for showering and sleeping. The reason for the 3 stars is the flooring is old carpet and in much need of replacement. Although there is a housekeeper that comes and I’m sure they’ve cleaned the carpet it’s just time to replace it. The only other issue is check in. It’s self check in and quite simple which is nice but the keys are left outside and anyone could come and pick them up and go in. My suggestion would be a keypad entry to house given only to guests then have keys for guests waiting inside. Otherwise it’s a nice older home easily accessible to the park and provides the basic necessities in bath, kitchen and bedrooms.
The room was spacious and clean, the location was beautiful.

We had a very pleasant stay and would choose this accommodation again. It’s not high end but felt clean, welcoming and fit our needs perfectly as a home base as we waited for the volcano. It was very close to the volcano park and conveniently near to local restaurants etc. We felt like we had our own space and felt like the shared bathrooms were not a problem at all.
