Top Hakalau Hotel Reviews

The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls

8/10 Good

"Flies in the barn was an extreme nuisance. Uncut grass from cabin 5 to the barn was annoying. The falls was a amazing. However, be extremely careful if you take the short hike because the uneven rocks is a challenge especially if it rain (9 out 10 times it'll rain). Despite that, Jordan, Abby, & Cady (not in order) was top of line from hospitality, interaction, professionalism, tidiness, etc. & they wasn't ugly :-)"

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"Gracious Host, great location, comfortable bed, Clean set-up. Quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend."

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is great, room was clean and they have access to a laundry room. There are fees for the laundry room, but it can be very convenient. The best part of this hotel is how nice the staff is and how welcoming they are."

Arnott's Lodge

8/10 Good

"A little outside of town so eating options weren’t great. Lots of outdoor space for relaxing. It was nice to have washers and dryers onsite."

Mahana House Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Just like the pictures! Wonderful shower. Huge common area with full kitchen that has everything you could need, and more. No A/C, but large ceiling fan keeps the room comfortable."

Hilo Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"👍all good …………………………………."

Hulili Tropical Fruit Farm - Pineapple Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a hidden gem. Amazingly cute little cottage nestled on a wonderful farm. If it weren't for all the activities we wanted to do in the area we could have sat in those rocking chairs, or on that day bed, all day staring at the clouds, watching the sunsets and sunrises. It had everything we needed for an incredible stay."

Hamakua Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for four days. A great place to stay during your visit. It’s clean and comfortable. Will visit here again if I come to Hawaii."
