Aloha Ronald,You know it was our pleasure hosting you here. We do hope to see you again.God bless you.

Aloha Gary,Thank you for staying with us.

Aloha Helena,We are sincerely glad that you got to enjoy your nice room, and we always love to hear how much our guests love our room beds. Yes, we do have Bibles on some of our tables and in the rooms. We do appreciate that our guests clean up any dishes that they use so that the kitchen is always clean for any guests who want to use it. I always put the 100% Kona coffee in the coffee maker the night before, so whoever gets up first can push the "brew now" button on the coffee maker to get the coffee brewed. I get up at around 7:15 to make it if it's not already made by then. We are at 850 feet elevation and our guests have no problem with any scuba activity. 3 of my sons are scuba divers.Thank you for staying with us?

Aloha Elizabeth,You are also the best!God bless you.

Aloha Alan,It is truly the peace of Jesus. Thank you for staying with us.God bless you.

Aloha Helene,It was great to have you here.God bless you!

Aloha Karen,You seemed to enjoy your stay here a lot. I saw you several times without any complaint. It was great having you here. God bless you.

Aloha Jill,We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. God bless you.

Aloha Keith,It was great having you here. We do have rooms with AC that have windows only on one wall. Rooms like yours have good ventilation and at our elevation, it always cools down nicely every night. We're happy that you liked your stay.

Aloha Gilles,We loved having you here.God bless you!

Eric, we sincerely love our guests, and it is truly an honor to serve them here at Hale Maluhia Country Inn, giving them our best, in this beautiful property. And yes, it is because we are so loved by our Lord that we can sincerely say again, from our hearts, that we love you and your wife. We do have Bibles in our property, for the Word of God is powerful and so beautiful, but we never force it on anyone or is ever our intention to cause you, or anyone, to feel unpleasant. It is up to you if you decide to read it or even grab it. But we are abundantly blessed to personally read it daily and desire to pray for you and for all of our guests. The Christian music, mostly instrumental, is only played in our main Welcoming Room. We hope you and your wife are enjoying a beautiful day. It surely is a beautiful one here in Kona! Much love to you both!

Aloha Randy,We really enjoyed having you here.Thank you so much.God bless you.

Aloha Lei,We are trying to understand your review, especially about your comments, which are contrary to the text you sent us upon your departure stating "Hi Dave - we just checked out and left the keys in the door. Thanks for great stay!". Yes, we are in a very convenient location, near the airport, beaches, downtown Kona, etc. The whole time you were here, you never brought any of these issues to our attention. As we live on the property and you had our contact, why didn't you inform us of these things while you were here? Regarding the windows, they do fully close, so we are not sure why you would say that they don't. As we live in the country, up the mountainside, there are going to be animal noises. Most people love the authentic nature we have up here. If you had told us you were having issues with the hot water, I would have been able to fix it while you were still here. In regards to the 30 plus tax stained linens fee, we did notify you of the charge and explained to you the reason why. Upon your departure, the linens from one of the two beds in your room had many dark stains. We treated the stains and washed the linens several times. We sincerely tried our best to remove the stains to avoid the charge or any inconvenience to you. We even had them professionally steam cleaned, but nothing worked. That's when I sent you the notice and this was your response to the reason why the stains were there: "It is from a clear cortizone cream that will wash out with soap and water." As we mentioned before, we sincerely tried our best to remove the stains, but were not able to. To our surprise, just a few minutes after we sent you our notification in regards to the stained linens and received your response about it being caused by the cortizone cream, we then received this review from you. Again, this review was truly a surprise to us since you texted thanking us for "a great stay!".The Lord bless you both.

Aloha Peter,Thanks for loving this place like I do!God bless you and your family.

Not sure what the issue was here.

Aloha Kathleen, We're happy you enjoyed your stay with us!

Aloha Vincent, Thank you for staying with us! God Bless You.

Aloha Billy Lee, We loved having you here! God Bless You.

Aloha Joseph, First, we want to thank you for your stay with us, and we sincerely hope that you are doing well. As for your comments, we wish to respond back to you, by beginning with a brief description of our property you have called "very unusual". We would say "it is very unique". The Inn consists of three main buildings, very distinguished from one another. Sitting on almost one acre of land, this property has its own beautiful tropical setting. I wouldn't describe it as a "family compound cobbled together". Guests' noises have never been an issue that has been complained about here, as we have always been blessed by respectful considerate guests. Each room offers our guests earplugs for we have coqui frogs that delight us with their melody each night, which is called a unique experience by most of our guests. It is humid in Hawaii, and here in Kailua-Kona, known as the drier side of the island, we are in a unique area where it is cooler. Whenever we get rain, we may enjoy the aroma of it outdoors, but it didn't even rain here during your stay. Your room has plenty of ventilation, does not have any musty smell, and it was never, even once, brought to our attention while you were here about any musty smell, so perhaps your congestion came from another source. As for your capitalized opinion in regards to the safety of our property, we must disagree. First of all, you were given a deep cleaned, sanitized room, for that's how we welcome everyone here for their stay. Our buildings are open-air, and your room had an outdoor private entry and lanai. We don't see too many guests wearing masks outdoors, and we don't recall seeing you wearing one either. You made no mention of this at all while here, and we had no discussions with you regarding masks or any other current events. So we are not sure how you claim to know our views about any of these things. Yes, we are Christians, saved by the Grace and Mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus who loves sinners like us. We love you and everyone here for we have been blessed by Him, beyond words. There are several Scriptures displayed on our Property, including Bibles in each room. We pray they bless your heart, and that you find joy and His Peace in your life. Next, how can you proclaim in this letter that you know our attitudes about anything because we have a large American flag at the entrance of our property? We are very respectful, loving, and considerate people, and adding to this, very proud to be Americans. I (Miriam) must add this to our reply: the American Flag means so much to me. I love the USA so much. Born in Ecuador, I became an American Citizen in 1996, and learning about the history of this Nation, how this Great Nation began, the Patriotism of our Founding Fathers, and the heroism of many who has fought for the cause of our Freedom (that you and I enjoy), has caused my heart great respect and Honor for my Country. Our American Flag stands for freedom for all people, and I am very honored

Thank you, Heather, it was great having you here!

Aloha Eldon, Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad that you enjoyed our place.

Thanks!

Aloha Ya-Ling, You are right that the room was very clean. Also, the blinds work just fine. They are the new kind that does not have a string. You can pull them down to whatever level you want and they will stay there. Sorry about the smoke alarm - it has been replaced with a new one. God bless you.

Aloha Agnieszka, Thank you for staying withnus. God bless you and your family.

Aloha Giorgio, It was great having you here! God bless you.

Aloha Guest, Yes, we do highly recommend that you rent a car when you stay here. God bless you.

Aloha Guest, So great for us to hear from you. God bless you!

Thank you for your review and for your stay with us!

Aloha Guest, Thank you so much for your stay with us!

Thanks for staying with us!

Thanks, Chris, We're so glad that you felt welcomed here!

Thanks for staying with us!

Aloha Scott, We always strive to give our best to each of our guests. So sorry that you were not aware of the coqui frogs in Hawaii. You will find them in all the jungle areas of the big island, from Kona to Hilo. God bless you.

Aloha Carlos, It was great having you stay here. I really enjoyed hearing about your Big Island adventures!

Aloha Jim & Sandy, It was really great having you guys here in our Banyan Cottage. You know that you can record the frog sound on your phone. You can even make it your ring tone. The coqui frogs always celebrate Valenintes Day! We look forward to seeing you again then.

Aloha Scott, Thanks for staying with us!

Aloha Kari, So sorry to hear that the neighbor's child woke you up on the morning that you were here. I apologize if the air freshener in your room wasn't pleasant to you. I hope you had the opportunity to unplug it. It is our desire that all of our guests experience a peaceful atmosphere. We are truly sorry that yours was not during your 1-night stay here. Mahalo.
