We had a great time in Hilo and the central location to all our activities made this place a great choice for our family! It's an easy walk to a lot of restaurants and shops, and a short drive to a number of Big Island sites like Rainbow Falls and Akaka Falls State Park. Check-in/out was easy and the hosts were responsive when we had questions (the laundry wasn't immediately visible but it was easy to find once we got the host's note). ##### Jennifer D.

Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hilo January 2025 Overall the accommodations were quite good, it was well stocked with supplies (kitchen, towels, other supplies) and was very conveniently located to the downtown Hilo area. For the price point, we would book this residence again.A couple of items that could be improved upon:- while the mattresses were good, the pillows were very hard.- the barbecue was quite small (propane canister for fuel), and did not produce enough heat to use.- there is no washer/dryer on-site.- table for eating was small and flimsy.One other point to note (and certainly something the owner cannot control) - the frogs start croaking at sunset and don’t stop until three in the morning, and are quite loud. The owner does provide a large supply of earplugs, but it could bother a light sleeper.While there were minor issues, to reiterate, we would stay at this unit again. ##### Ken K. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna G. Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### At the end of the rainbow is this little gem! We stayed 3 packed days! From farmers markets, gardens, beaches, planetariums and water falls we did a lot. The accommodations at the Rainbow Loft were great. The place was clean and beautifully located for what we wanted to do. The neighborhood is safe and a parking spot is provided which is a plus as street parking is crowded. The kitchen is well appointed. A/C in the bedrooms if needed but the breeze cooled the place down enough that we did not. Laundry is across the driveway and easy to access. As is common for a loft the main full bath is downstairs but beds upstairs. There is a half bath upstairs so don’t worry, you aren’t fumbling down the stairs to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night.Another bonus is they do not make you jump through a lot of clean-up hoops before checking out. Just empty the trash on your way out. Everything is so expensive in Hawaii that finding this lovely accommodation for a nice price was a pleasant surprise. The quality for the price was great and we made many memories here. ##### Donna G. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Inday B.

Essentials provided including a rice cooker for the times you wanna stay in and create your own meal. Owners took great thought into considering small details. E.g. ear plugs to help block out the sound of nature if it's not something you find yourself falling asleep too. Overall, the place was comfortable. A home away from home. ##### Inday B.

We missed the volcano eruption by just two days but that was the only disappointment for the trip. Our accommodations were perfect - exactly as described and photo’d. The welcome treat and coffee was a very nice touch. This was a perfect location to spend a day at Hawaii Volcano Ntl Park and another day driving around the island. The rest of the time we parked the car and walked the town a d enjoyed great restaurants, farmers markets and the locals. Don’t stay anywhere else in Hilo - you wi t be disappointed with Simone’s Over The Rainbow! ##### Jim S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ivar C.

It had plenty of space for the 5 of us, it was in great condition, and it was decorated in a very fun way. The kitchen was also amazing, and the owners also had plenty of items for us to use on the beach (i.e. chairs, beach blankets, etc.). The neighborhood around the Rainbow Loft wasn't much to speak of, but it was in walking distance to some restaurants and grocery stores. If we ever stay in Hilo again, we would definitely choose this spot. ##### Richard V. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce R., Leawood, Kansas. USA Jan 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location! The perfect location for exploring Hilo and the Big Island. You are within walking distance to downtown, Hilo Bay, Banyon Drive and more. Approximately 10 minutes to some great beaches. It is a charming, modern beach house. As you might expect with a close-to-everything location, it’s a bit noisy. Owners are terrific, there’s plenty of room, and it’s pristine. We stayed for over 2 months—and would do it again! ##### Joyce R. Stayed 65 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James P., Cool, California Dec 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Hilo Bungalow We had a wonderful experience with this well renovated bungalow in Downtown Hilo. We arrived Tuesday night and we were able to take a short walk to the famous Hilo Farmer's Market on Wednesday as well as all of the best restaurants in town. The bungalow was well appointed for eating in and relaxing between adventures. Will definitely check availability when back in Hilo. Mahalo Nui Loa to Simone and Steve for their great taste in putting this location together. ##### James P.
