Top Joint Astronomy Centre Hotel Reviews

Private Room on Serene Property in Hilo

8/10 Good

"Very clean, centrally located, and quiet. Great stay!"

Puakenikeni Hilo Hale

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location"

Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!

10/10 Excellent

"WOW!! What an amazing place! As others have said, the home was beautiful and the host’s attention to detail was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. The property was like living in the middle of a rainforest but we had zero issues with bugs. The home was immaculately kept and clean. Being able to open all the patio doors really gave you the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. The location was set in a quiet neighborhood but downtown Hilo was only a 10 minute drive. We loved it and would definitely return. Highly recommended!!"

Welcome to Our Little Hilo Hideaway - 3 Bedroom Home

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Quite neighborhood."

Charming Historic Hilo House – Minutes to Beach!

8/10 Good

"The house was a good size and at a decent location not far from downtown Hilo and on the way to Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park. The house is a bit on the older side. Although it doesn’t have AC, we didn’t need it in early September as there are fans in every room and it cooled down at night. There is an invasive frog on Hawaii and it croaks really loudly at night so I recommend taking ear plugs or ear buds to wear. The property manager was very responsive whenever I contacted him."

Hawaiian Hideaway w/ Yard < 2 Miles to Hilo Bay!

8/10 Good

"Air conditioning wasn’t to great other than that house was perfect for our stay"

Hale Kawehi BnB Guesthouse In Quaint Downtown Hilo, Hawaii. PL-USE-2022-000007

10/10 Excellent

"Hale Kawehi is a very unique and more than accommodating place to stay. Clean, plenty of space to meet all of our needs. Easy access to town for shops & restaurants. Private covered parking. Kawehi is a wonderful host and provides above and beyond. Highly recommend!Mahalo!"

2 bedroom spacious house (upstairs unit) in the heart of Hilo town

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! The place was comfy, clean and airy, just as in the photos. It was nice to have a well equipped kitchen to save on eating out. All in all a delightful home away from home. Location is perfect, an easy walk to downtown and short drive to swimming beaches. We hope to stay here again on our next visit to the Big Island!"

Hale Kawehi B&B Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing house, with about 4-5 rooms all to ourselves. There was full kitchen and cooking facilities, and some snacks and cooking materials (milk, sauces, etc) had been left for us to use. Each room was an Aladdin's cave of souvenirs and oddities, attached to the wall or ceiling. There was an amazing little garden, with a pond, which had some very noisy frogs in it. There was veranda and porch, so we could sit outside and have a drink. It was like living in a hobbit house or something out of a fairy tale, and made the experience truly magical. Shops were a 20min walk or 5min drive away, but once shopping was done there was a huge fridge to store it all in. All mod cons were there, TV, aircon (in the bedroom), shower, wifi, etc. There was even a cheap laundry service with 24h return. It also had a free covered off-road parking space. If you want somewhere to stay that is truly memorable, stay here. It beats a boring hotel any day!"
