Hamakua Guesthouse

"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value budget hotel right on the bay in Hilo. The property is quite old, showing wear but room was clean, comfortable with fresh towels, shampoo etc, all the basics you need. It's classic old school ceiling fan and air vents rather than AC. There is occassion airport noise. Hilos airport is close to town so you can hear it as many locations, but airport isnt that busy. The hotel is not flashy at all but good value for those on budget given location. My rooms balcony directly overlooked shoreline."

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"it’s a nice location, but there’s a lot of construction going on not only in the surrounding landscape but also inside the hotel. There’s a resort fee being charged every day and it’s really just a simple pool. Nothing fancy I wouldn’t say it’s really a resort. A resort really does have quite a few other amenities. There’s only one restaurant and room service only comes every other day. also, for those people who are in a balcony room in the front of the hotel, you’re going to hear a loud buzzing noise every time he goes, sit on the patio from some transformer downstairs."

Hilo Hibiscus Vacation Home 2 bedrooms

2/10 Terrible

"Unfortunately, our stay was seriously affected by a persistent noise issue. There was a constant metallic banging sound coming from above the entrance-side room, almost every second, and the high ceiling made it even louder. Even with earplugs, it was very difficult to sleep. The noise continued and seemed to get worse during the stay. It also affected another room, as my colleague was woken up by the same noise and had to use earplugs as well. This confirmed that it was not just personal sensitivity, but a real issue affecting proper rest. We reported the problem, but felt it was not taken seriously. The response was that “people sleep differently,” and moving rooms was treated as our personal request rather than a response to a serious problem. Because of this, I had to stay somewhere else after the second day.The room layout was also very strange. The main entrance opens directly into one of the rooms instead of a normal living room or entry area. It felt like the room had been converted from an entrance compartment, which made it less comfortable and private.Considering the unresolved noise, unusual layout, and the need to find another place to sleep, this property was not worth the money for us."

Entire 3-bedroom house in Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"The house was perfect for our stay in Hilo! Near grocery stores, several shops, and local sights. The house was very clean and spacious. We were especially grateful for the AC and laundry room. Maggie was very quick in responding to our questions. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Hilo!"
