Fantastic rooms, cosy, comfortable (very comfortable bed) and done with exceptional esprit. A unique experience. We actually looked forward to be back in the room after we finished our hiking tours.
Located on The Big Island of Hawaii, this accommodation is less than 5 minutes’ drive to Volcanoes National Park and Volcano Art Center Gallery. Free Wi-Fi is provided in all rooms.

We enjoyed the location. We like the extra things that was provided. For example; the cooler, beach mat, googles etc.
The surrounding landscape is very nice and cute.
Located 3800 ft above the sea in the town of Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, near Kilauea Volcano, Volcano Rainforest Retreat provides accommodations with free WiFi and free private parking.

We arrived after sunset and therefore could not assess the full scope of the property at arrival, but just arrived at our cozy cabin and could chill out in the outside Japanese tub, then fall asleep to the sound of the wildlife sounds. When we got up in the morning, we were greeted by a full blown rainforest. While I knew from pictures what it could look like, the real thing was more than stunning and a great experience.
Hawaii Volcano National Park is 10 miles from this holiday home. Overlooking the tall Fern Forest jungles, guests can enjoy a fully equipped communal kitchen and hot tub.
Located 1 mile from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this Volcano historical lodge features a hot tub. Lava viewing at Halema'uma'u Crater is 4 miles away.

Amazing little boutique hotel in the rain forest. It was quaint but well cared for. Great option to allow you to spend a full day exploring Volcanoes National Park and then have an early start on the drive to Kona (so you can stop for lots of adventures along the way). We loved our stay.
Offering a sauna, Aloha Junction B&B sits on 1.3 acres of private, fully landscaped property. Guests are 10 minutes' walk from local shops and restaurants. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is 3 km away....

The room was great; loved the atmosphere and comfort. Also, the Thai restaurant right down the street was exceptional. The proximity to Volcanoes National Park was also great. I would stay there again.
Volcano Eco Cabin Retreat is a chalet situated in Volcano, 16 km from Kilauea and 9.6 km from Volcano National Park's entrance.

Excellent choice for a Volcano stay, right outside the park. Owners were kind, helpful and accommodating. Our plans changed at the last minute and they went out of their way to make sure that we were still able to stay and enjoy.

The green, beautiful lush forest-like atmosphere in Volcano was so breathtaking! It was peaceful and quiet (except at night) you could hear the little frogs (koki frogs) nonstop but you eventually rest and they fade as you get closer to sleep.
Even driving feels awesome!

The park was very crowded around dusk.
The park was very crowded around dusk. There were lots of cars and few places to park. It might not be that way if the volcano had not been erupting. Because of previous eruptions, part of the rim road was blocked making fewer places to actually view the caldera. Make a reservation at one of the 2 restaurants at the Volcano House for dinner around sunset for the best views. Take a sweater or sweatshirt. The wind was chilly in June. We ate at the Rim restaurant. The food was very good. Expect to pay over $35 per person without cocktails. We were dressed for a nice restaurant and were disappointed that so many people were so very casual. But, it is vacation and Hawaii.

The volcano itself was absolutely incredible.
The volcano itself was absolutely incredible. Doesn't matter how old you are, it's just one of those things that fascinates and draws you in. Must see for anyone who has the opportunity since you never know when it will shut down.

Volcano National Park is amazing!
Volcano National Park is amazing! I would plan to spend at least a day and a half there if you are visiting Big Island. There is so much to do - the highlights include hiking across a crater and visiting during the dark (after sunset or before sunrise) to see the eruption!

Although our accommodation here was nothing amazing, the location cannot be left out of your big island itinerary! I wish someone had have told us to visit the National Park after sunset (or at sunrise) before our final day here!! That would be my top tip to people staying in this area. It would have been great to see the glowing lava.

Got to see the crater smoking with hot lava, but the weather was cool and misty/foggy, so no "orange glow." The place was packed with tourists, even so. Parking lots overflowed. We enjoyed most the early morning (6am) walk to the eruption site: very few people. Many nene sitings. The Volcano House restaurant has a less-expensive sister, the Rim restaurant, right next door. Good food, great views, but like everywhere on the Island, trés expensive. Next time I would bring more money!
Location was perfect for spending time within Volcano National Park. I appreciated that it was very close to the entrance, but not within the park. Hosts greeted us when we arrived and were very welcoming and warm. Studio was as described and actually better than I had thought. Accommodation was attractively decorated and modern. Breakfast items and snack choices were excellent and abundant. The studio was very quiet and felt private for being attached to the host's home.
This place was really great. We have two kids in two families and they loved the pool table and wanted to stay here more days. The place was much better than the photos so it was a really nice surprise. Three bedrooms provided comfy night for all of us. We highly recommend this place if you decide to stay in Hawaii Volcano National Park overnight, which I recommend as there are lots to do and see there.
The home was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was easy. Location in a rainforest just a couple of miles from Volcanoes National Park was perfect! The hot tub was an added bonus and great after a cool rainy day touring the park. The value for price was unbeatable. I highly recommend this property and will stay here again next time I am on this side of Big Island!
Host met us on arrival and settled us into the house which was surrounded by rainforest. Coffee,tea, and local handmade chocolate with booklets of suggestions for dining and exploring. Susan pleasantly answered our questions and had umbrellas hanging on the covered porch which came in handy visiting Volcanoes National Park which is only 10 minutes away.
Greenery / rain forest like surrounds from every window and front balcony. Gas heater use was a necessity and provided good comfort throughout our 6 day stay ,- and surprisingly it was needed
Gr8 location to visit Volcano National Park - which we did multiple days and multiple times, morning and night.
My husband and I enjoyed our room, the property, the staff and the morning breakfast. Our room was slightly larger than a hotel studio and was all that we needed. The staff was helpful in booking us a dinner reservation nearby. We would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Volcano!
This is a perfect place to stay if you want to visit the volcano np - just a five minute drive and its in a really a quiet place.
The house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need. The downside of our stay see below..
Wonderful kitchen and dinnerware. Enjoyed cozy feel of furnishings, including Runtel towel warmer (we use them in our house, inspired by first Volcano stay years ago) Nice to have 2 luggage racks instead of one. Lots of hangers!
A wonderful tiny house in the middle of the Volcano rainforest. Romantic and back to the pure nature.
Near to all National Park adventures.
Please don't expect luxury, you will find the real back to nature feeling!
We love it!!!
quaint cottage accommodation with pleasant host; good location for Volcano National Park; good pancake, fruit and coffee breakfast; we arrived early and were able to leave our cases in our room while we visited the park.
The cottage was an oasis, surrounded by the rainforest with all the creature comforts of home. We had enough supplies for breakfast, wifi, and enough space to spread out. It was a wonderful start to our Hawaii vacation.
Fantastic place! The Rainforest was amazing to wake up to! They had breakfast food already in the fridge...5mins away from the volcanoe park.. Short 30min Drive to Hilo. Difficult to access if u don't have a car
The room was beautiful and the whole property sits inside the stunning Hawaiian rain forest. So close to the Hawai’i Volcanoes NP (5 min) that we could stop by the Kīlauea erupting right before going to sleep.
Clean and spacious with amenities. Quiet street close to volcano National Park. Renters let us know what was available as far as food and shopping on the area. Gave a list of "must see" places
Great older style, comfortable hotel. Great location and excellent award winning restaurant.
Spacious room with a coffee maker. Very comfortable bed. Spa was available, but we didn't use it..
The corner window to the view of the rainforest was great! The room itself felt very secluded and private. The location was very ideal for getting to the volcano national park.
In a lush green setting, this rustic spot is great for anyone wanting to soak up the natural beauty of Volcano. Spacious , easy and plenty of amenities.
