Top Mauna Loa Observatory Hotel Reviews
Lokahi Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"The room was incredibly spacious, with a king bed, vaulted ceilings, and a cozy wood stove. There was also a charming alcove with an additional full bed overlooking the garden, with windows lining the entire side of the room. The location was quiet, with beautiful birdsong in the morning and frogs chirping at night, which made for the best night’s sleep of our entire trip. The space was spotless and had the feel of a peaceful jungle lodge — exactly what we were looking for. Plus, it’s only five minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Everything was communicated clearly well in advance, and the self check-in/check-out process was seamless."

Spacious, Luxurious, Tropical Townhouse Style Condo For A Truly Aloha Vacation
2/10 Terrible
"The stay was disappointing overall. We encountered lizards and worms inside the house, and a water leak detector alarm kept going off through the night, making it difficult to sleep. The house felt messy, poorly organized, and very outdated. Much of the furniture and appliances were old and worn, and the mattresses were far below the standard expected for the price. There were also “do not touch” signs throughout the property, which made the environment feel unwelcoming.The check-in and location instructions were overly complicated yet still missed important details like the correct parking spot. The condo was difficult to find due to poor signage, and it took us about 30 minutes to locate it.Communication from the owner was frustrating. Instead of primarily using the Vrbo platform, the owner repeatedly called and texted directly. The owner also frequently sent messages saying community management required guests to follow various rules, adding unnecessary stress.The thermostat was locked at 76F, making the unit uncomfortable. Overall, there were too many restrictions and unnecessary messages, while important practical information was missing. The property and experience did not match expectations."
Club Wyndham Mauna Loa Village
8/10 Good
"It is fully equipped with everything you need."
Aloha Crater Lodge and Lava Tube
4/10 Poor
"Very strong mildew smell in the room. Comfortable bed, but awkward room layout. Very convenient location, but mildew smell was very bothersome."
Lava Lodge at Hale Kilauea
10/10 Excellent
"The property was clean, the staff was very attentive to ensure we had what we needed, and the checkout was very easy."
