Top Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden Hotel Reviews

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Affordable and friendly"

Arnott's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great value and convenient location. Beautiful grounds, convenient parking and the staff were friendly and helpful."

Hamakua Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Property is on a beautiful location, very quiet and well maintained. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the really delicious complementary 7 course dinner. Highly recommend the property if you are looking for peace and quiet accommodations away from the busy resort locations."

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely book here again."

Honomu Place - Resort Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of twelve traveled to Honomu right after the largest hurricane the island had seen in over 150 years. We almost canceled, but this trip was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime “final hurrah” for my in‑laws, who rarely travel and don’t plan to fly again. When the airline confirmed it was safe, we decided to go — not realizing the island would be without power for several days.Even with a 3–4 day outage, this stay became one of the most meaningful vacations we’ve ever had. The home is beautiful, full of natural light, and surprisingly comfortable even without electricity. We spent our days enjoying the property, cooking on the barbecue, using ice chests, talking, laughing, and truly reconnecting as a family. It felt like “mansion camping,” and somehow it was perfect.Our host was incredible. They checked in often, opened an extra room for us, kept us updated on the local situation, and even had a neighbor stop by to welcome us and share where we could find internet and supplies. As soon as the weather cleared, they sent someone to clean the pools so we could enjoy the outdoor space. Their kindness made a challenging situation feel safe and supported.When the power finally returned, the host generously extended our stay for free, allowing us to fully enjoy the home. Despite the hurricane, this was one of my favorite vacations ever. The house was amazing, the host was amazing,My kids are already begging to return and missing the stuffed animal turtles!"

Hawaii Magic Skies B&B Farmstay

10/10 Excellent

"This place was awesome, perfect for our short stay in Hilo. We enjoyed the sunrise from the balcony each morning, the house and grounds are beautiful and our host was great yoo!"

Oceanfront Getaway w/ A/C in Gated Hamakua Coast

10/10 Excellent

"Joe & Cindy's Luxury Oceanfront Guest House in Pepeekeo was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I to stay during our visit to Big Island. It is beautifully and comfortably designed and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals here and everything necessary was supplied. You have to check out the water view from the cliff - it's outstanding and worthy of photos and a picnic. The extremely private cottage is a short drive from Hilo and the directions and check in/check out processes were so easy. Joe & Cindy made themselves available, yet they weren't overbearing like some hosts. We would definitely stay here again when we return!"

River View Rainforest Tiny Cabin with Kitchenette (No Cleaning Fee)

8/10 Good

"This tiny cabin is a great blend of roughing it with conveniences. The toilet and shower stall are full size and normal. The small fridge, cooktop and large sink made for a useful kitchenette space while being on the screened porch to keep heat out of the sleeping room. The bunkbed is a clever use of space, with a decent mattress and lots of pillows. The hosts were responsive to texts and located not too far away, just in case. Checking in and out was a breeze, and all instructions were very clear. The downside is just the natural environment of the rainforest. With no AC and minimal ability to move the air, the humidity is oppressive. The presence of the nearby waterfall is lovely but the tree frogs overwhelm the peacefulness and the mosquitoes are vicious. The building is suffering a bit from the constant moisture. It was also disconcerting to see a huge feral hog on the driveway, and witness the extensive digging they have done all around the property. I certainly came away feeling like it was a true break from civilization!"
